ION my last trip to Germany I had to
run down from Hanover to Cassel, and
after we had been jogging along at .
sedate pace of three minutes to the mile
for couple of hours or so, we came to q
stop. looked out of the window and
saw that we were in tine tmidst Of very
pretty country scene, meadows and
gardens, but with nothing in the shape of
. village to be seen except some scattered
farm houses. So concluded that either
IL was a wayside station for some district,
or else that an accident had happened.
The only other passenger in the coach, a
Lutheran clergyman l put him to be,
knew Of no stopping place there, so l.
lowered the door sash to hunt up the
conductor or guard.
"As / poked my head out saw a man
that took to be the fireman or engineer,
coming across the meadows with q big
bundle done up in blue handkerchief,
swinging from his hand. while his mate
was leaning out of the cab window, smok-
ing big pipe. The conductor was sitting
beside the track examining q belated wild
flower through his gold-rimmed specta-
cles, the escape steam was gently whis-
Ting through the valve, fow passengers
had their heads poked out of the other
carriage windows like mine. all appar-

with the blue handkerchief with sort of
good-natured family interest. Altogether
it was q very pretty, restful, pastoral pic

and found we had been standing there

there is a famous quality of die bach

bottom of that field over there, and the
good Wilhelm Schwartz, the engineer,
generally makes 1t point to get a bunch
of it for his Sunday salad when he comes
along here on the Saturday afternoon
train.'
by the time the guard had finished his
delightful little story the engineer had
reached the engine. Then the guard
climbed into his coupe, there was shrill
foot of the whistle, and we were jogging
along again." fHta

Morris park has heretofore been their
chief scene of operations. Richard
Croker is understood to have had a wish
toconnect himself with the men who are
thus casting a glow of fashion over the
race horse, but he got the mitten. That il

English track. His~recent success over

but the first in q brilliant series of
triumphs. Still, he feels very sore, IL APP

from the men now most prominent as
sportsmen in the metropolis, and they
are likely TO be reminded some day that
the Tammany man can harbor n resent
ment. The betting on horse races, by the
way, has attained great proportions, and
the women take as much part in 1t as the
men. Restaurants and tables d'hote are
in many cases little better than gambling
resorts of the fashionable This fact is
well understood, and there will probably
be a sensational police descent in due

TRINITY. Tammany Is to
be made thoroughly respectable. The
fatal mistake of permitting the organiza-
zion to fall into the hands OF disreputables
b not likely to be made again. 1t is an
open secret in the Wigwam that all the
shady characters will be eliminated. But
more than this, men of position will be
Brought into the ranks. Among these are
mon like William c. Whitney, the Bel
morts and few others of equal stand
ing in the world outside as we'll as in
side politics. Some incredulity has been
expressed as to the truthfulness
OF statefnents that men of this sort would
ally themselves with Tammany in tho or
ganization's present condition. Such in
creduiity reveals n misunderstanding of
the situation. There is no man in the
city OF New York more friendly to Tam
many than William c. Whitney. His
great wealth is almost wholly IN munich
pal franchises, and in corporations cre-
ated through the city government at a
time when the latter was entirely in Tam
many hands. A nod would convert the
Tammany men in the legislature into SO
many foes to Whitney's corporations.
Notwithstanding all that has been said re-
Rarding the emancipation of corporations
from the necessity OF paying political
tribute, il is fact that they arc all in
great awe of the machine. Mr.. Whitney.
as is by this time an open secret, has
long wished to shake off Tammany. But
Tammany clings to him like leech. The
Tiger includes in the same compre-
bensiyely affectionate embraces all the
democrats of standing who consort with
Whitney. The invitation to these men
vas but q yelled command.
But they in their turn have been able to
exact conditions. Mr.. Croker. without
seeming TO be SO. is largely in their hands.
That 10 one reason why Tammany has
become SO severely respectable. Another
terrifying thing to the Tiger was the
threat Of exclusion from the next demo-
cratic national convention. That would,
indeed, be a serious blow. But Mr.. Whit
rey has agreed to avert IL under certain
conditions. 1t will thus be seen that this
politician Is practically the central figure
in the situation. He aud the Belmouts
are the pictured trinity OF every Tam

cile the party to the organization.
Meanwhile, the reformers are regard

Mayor Strong has been arousing antag::

trary. at peace with everybody. In the
shadow of the presidential election there
has come that sudden calm SO portentious
