The Municipal Election.

The annual meeting for the choice of
city officers occurs on a week from next
Monday. No decided movement, has, as
yet, boon made by party leaders towards
an organization in view of that event, and
we feel by no means certain that party
lines will be closely observed in making
the nominations. The tendency, of late
has been decidedly to ignore party in this
matter, and to look solely to the general
good in the selection Of public servants
in municipal Offices. In Boston, last fall
a ticket on which an equal division was
made between the parties and which vas
! run in the interest of economy and reform,
defeated both regular party tickets. 1t
would assuredly seem that If in a large
city like Boston the citizens can subordi
nate party claims TO the higher interests
OF municipal government. like measures

The folly which induced the legislature
Of Maine to abolish the death penalty, at
the demand of few deluded humanlta-

year-one that Of wife in the sanctity
of her home the other Of loved and re-
spected man in a position Of financial
trust, which no violence Of the ruf1ians

happy in their homes, but for the misera-
bly, mistaken policy of tenderness to the
outcast rutfians and murderers that in
