The 'boss" system in American poll
tics received "a black eye at the recent
municipal election in Philadelphia.
BY the collision of the bosses of both
parties those who run the political
machine had pretty good thing, but
the people OF the Quaker city, tired of
this, have buried them under majori-
ties ranging from five to twenty-six
Thousand. This is encouraging as IL
Illustrating what the people can accom-
plish when they set themselves at
work to clean out the self-constituted
leaders. The boss system in politics
is characterised by certain degree of
overbearing insOlence, to say nothing
of the sublime independence of those
who are striving to perpetuata it,
with which the people are becoming
disguised, and in localities where for
bearance has ceased to be a virtue the
machine folks are being given a rest.
