LATE ELEcTIoNs.-The triumphant
election of N. B. Shurteff to the Mayor
ality of Boston by plurality of $500
will be hailed throughout the country as
an omen of returning reason in our large
cities to recognize the services of
faithful and honest public servant
although he may differ in many of his po-
litical opinions from the dominant party.
Mr.. Shurtlif is gentleman upon whom
the Republicans of the city united,
although year ago he was elected as q
Democrat, because he administered NUM-
opal affairs above all party considerations,
knowing nothing but what he honestly
believed to be for the best interests Of the
city Of Boston. The political complex
ion of the city government is somewhat
mixed, the prohibition question entering
more or less in their election Newbury-.
port has elected Robert Couch, Republic
can, Mayor by 1888 majority. James B.
Blake, Republican, was elected Mayor of
Worcester by 1850 majority

The Remain. of George Peabody.

The remains of George Peabody were
escorted to the steamer Monarch on Mon
day last by many of the dignitaries of the
English Court and large number Of the
ppoulace Of London, although without
form and it was the desire to have no
public demonstration on the occasion, but
the heart Of the people, yet tender at the
great public loss of benefactor, could
not refrain from showing their respect to
the memory of the noble dead.
On the arrival Of the coffin on board the
Monarch, the American Minister, J.
Lothrop Motley, addressed Captain Com
merell, commander of the ship. as follows !:
SIR-The President of the United
States having been informed of the death
of the great philanthropist, the lamented
Mr.. Peabody, at once ordered ship from
the European squadron of the United
States to proceed to this country in order
to convey his remains to America :.
simultaneously, Her Majesty, the Queen,
being appraised of the sad event, gave or
ders that oneIof Her Majesty ships should
be appointed to perform the same Office.
This double honor from the heads of two
great nations to simple American citizen,
was, like his bounty to the poor Of both
nations, quite unprecedented The Pres
ident has yielded most cordially to the
wish of the Queen, and the remains of
Mr.. Peabody are now to be conveyed
acrosss the Atlantic in the British vessel
to his native country to be buried with
his kindred, while the American national
vessel will accompany her as consort on
the voyage. All that was mortal, there
fore, of our lamented friend was taken
this morning from Westminster Abbey,
where very rarely before in history did a
foreigner Of any nation find sepulchre,
whether temporarily or permanently, and
has been brought to this port. As Minis
ter Of the republic at the Court of her
Majesty, have boon requested by the
relatives and executors of Mr.. Peabody,
who are now present, to confide these, his
revered remains to your keeping. This
duty have now the honor of fulfilling.
Captain Commercial replied
Nh MoTLEY-I accept the sacred
trust, sir, in the same spirit in which you
have confded it to my care, and assure
you that these remains shall be cared for
and guarded by me and those around me
with jealous interest as sacred relics OF
one whose memory will ever be held dear
by the people of my country.

PURIFICATION OF THE CITY Gov
ERNMENr.

The citizens movements to purify the To-
cal government 10 city and county seems to
be general, and alth ough the ADVOCATE has
taken very little part in political contests,
vet we desire to renew the advice given last
week. II has ever been the object OF this
journal to do as much as possible to remove
the burthens of labor, and this desire ap-
pears now to be in fair way to receive
partial fulfilment at least. The people are
certainly moving 10 the right direction, and
with every prospect of success. We say,
then, to workingmen. now is the time to
push forward the column. A thorough re-
novation Of the city and county government
may lead to the State and National govern
ment. It may nos only furnish better off,
GERS, but it will have tendency to inculcate
better and more just governmental pnnci-
pies. The duty Of workingmen to work is
fully acknowledged, and here is field in
which they can do good job in purifying
the atmosphere about the court house. One
or two days work in The early part of No.
vember will be likely ID be felt throughout
the year. We therefore say to absorbing
men, be up and doing, until the day Of cleo.
ton, and when that comes, don't let thembe
any eleventh hour men-that is not our
faith.

in Kansas City.
We found this railroad in excellent repair
and under very Efficient management, and
fare much less than we have heretofore been
obliged to pay on the Missouri Pacific
The substantial improvements now in
progress in Missouri which are worthy Of
note, are the great bridge across the Missis-
sippi river, between St. Louis and East St.
Louis, the bridge across the Mss uri river
at St. Charles, and the great depo,s at the va
rious termini Of the North Missouri Railroad.
The bridge which this road crosses at Kan

count Of the Mold riots, thus summed up
A crowd Of miners trying to rescue the NIL
ners and, on the resistance OF the police
and the soldiers, shOwering stones at them,
the soldiers, without any previous warning,

Of bullets from their breechlOa1ers (Snider-

we're killed, and a great many wounded.
So far there is Ruoh analogy between the
Mold aud the Oricamarie massacres, but
here it ceases. In France, the soldiers
were only responsible to their commander;
in England they had to pass through coro-
ner's jury inquest, but this coroner was
deaf and daft old fool, who had 20 receive
the witnesses testimony through an ear
trumpet, and the Welsh jury who backed
him were a narrowly prejudiced class jury.
They declared the massacre for "Justihsble
homicide" In France the rioters were SEN
fenced from three to Is months imprison-
ment, and soon after amnestied; in England
they were condemned to ten years. penal
servitude. In .anoe the whole press re-
sounded with cries Of indiguatiOl against
the troops; in England the press was all
smiles for the soldiers, AID all frownS for
their victims.
