Senator Anthony,

Of R node Island, the Probable Successor
 of Senator Edmunds as President of the
 Senate.
 Henry B. Anthony, of Providence, Rhode Island, WAS born in Coventry, that State April l, 1915, of Quaker ancestry. He grad uated at Brown University in 1883, and in 1888 he assumed the editorial charge of the Providence Journal, which he retained until called to 8 seat in the United States Senate. He was elected Governor of his native State in 1919, was reelected in 1850, and there after declined to accept the candidacy for another term.
 He was elected to the United States Senate as Union Republican, to succeed Phillip Allen, Democrat, and took his seat in 1859, his term expiring in 1865. During his term he served as chairman of the Committee on Printing. MT. Anthony has been returned as his own successor each expiring term ever since his present term ending March Sd, 1889. He was elected President of the Sem ate pro tenn March 23d, 1869, and was re- elected March 1Oth 1871.
 Senator Anthony was member of the na- tional committee appointed to accompany the remains of President Lincoln to Illinois, and was one of the Senators designated by the Senate to attend the funeral of General Scott in 1866, and was also delegate to the Philadelphia Loyalists' convention, held in that year. He is one of the most popular members of the Senate and his elevation to it's Presidency third time is at present strongly indicated

REFORm IN BOsTON-

The great cause of reform in municipal
 government received very decided onward
 impulse in Boston Tuesday when General Au-
 gustus P. Martin was elected Mayor of Bos-
 ton by majority over his opponent, Alder man Hugh O'Brien, of about 1, 800 votes, in
 total vote of 53, ,50o, the largest ever cast
 in municipal contest in the city by some
 thing like $500. The great vote cast indi-
 cates the interest felt in the result and the
 character of the voting is indicated by
 glance at the vote cast for governor in Bos-
 ton November 6. Everything was done then
 by the leaders of the two great political par
 ties to achieve victory, and to bring out the
 largest possible vote for the gubernatorial
 candidates. The result of the unsparine ef
 forts that were put forth in this direction
 was that Boston gave Governor Butler 3D.
 1OS and MT. Robinson 24, TAT votes, making
 total, increased by few hundred scatter
 ing ballots, of over 5S, ,O0o, an unprecedented
 showing in the history of balloting in the
 city-nany thousands beyond any previous
 vote on record. The strength developed by
 the Republican candidate, Mir. Robinson, was
 deemed especially surprising, and it was
 nearly everywhere conceded that, for 8 good
 many years to come, at least, it would not
 be exceeded in either city or State contest.
 Governor Buffers plurality of more than 5000 was thought to very closely indicate the proportionate Democratic majority in 8 party fight in Boston. On Tuesday the plur- ality was not oRly wiped out, but 8 consider able majority was transferred to the candi- date put up by the ''the oitizens'' and in- dorsed by the Republicans
 The desire of the good citizens of Boston for better municipal government was shown not alone in the vote for Mayor. The Citi- zens' candidates for aldermen were triumph antly elected, and many of their candidates for councilmen. The result is very encourag- ing and the whole affair shows. among other things, as the Boston Advertiser says, s'that rancor and noise are not indispensable ac- compartments to political projects, or rather that, when party is made subordinate con- sfderation, passion and excitement are not apt to characterize the canvass. General Martin is mayor elect, not because desper ate effort was successful, but simply from the fact that thinking and ssquiet talk took the place effectively of elaborate machinery"
 It is pleasant to record what the good citi- zens of Boston and other cities are doing to better the character of their local govern ment. We hope the time will come when we can congratulate the good citizens of New Haven on thoroughly defeating the profes- sional politicians. And we are glad to be able to say that our faith that that time will come is increasing.

The depth of sleep has been the subject of investigation by two German physicians. working upon the idea that the depth of sleep;is proportional to the sound required to awaken. Ingenious experiments showed that, with perfectly healthy man, slumber dur ing the first hour is very light after an hour and a quarter the depth of sleep increases rapidly and reaches it's maximum at one and three quarters hours. The slumber then Hghtens gradually, but reaction into deeper sleep occurs after five and a-haIf hours of re :. pose, after which gradual awaking proceeds Imperfect health or unusual exertion pro- duced marked irr eguIarities

Education is looking up'' in at least one of the southern States. The recent message of Governor Thompson, of South Carolina, shows that there were enrolled in the public schools of that State during the past year "a, 157 white and 98, 93s colored pupils. This is an increase of more than 27, 900 over last year and amounts to 78 per cent. of the white children of school age and 55 per cent. of the colored The length of the school sessions is altogether inadequate, averaging but four months, and the Governor warmly recommends local taxation for the better support of the system, the State tax for pub lie schools being as high as that in any State of the Union.

The Palladium returns again to the defence of the present expensive constitution of the City court and uses up some space in attempt ing to show that the present system of pay ing salaries is more economical than that of paying fees as was formerly done. The question is not whether the court is more economically conducted now than at some former time nor how much business the court is doing. The question we have asked and to which the Palladium has as yet given no answer is, why should we pay $9OO to an assistant presenting attorney in order that prosecuting attorney to whom we pay $2, 800 may be idle one week out of every four?
 That typhoid fever can be spread by milk is not 8 very pleas ant idea, but it appears to have some foundation in fact. In Port Jer- wis, New York, typhoid fever is just now very prevalent. Along the streets where the milk from certain dairy was delivered the most cases have occurred. Professor Curtis of the New York State board of health says that of about one hundred cases in Port Jer- wis seventy-6ve used the accused milk, be- yond doubt. It is very probable that more than this number made at least casual use of it. Of one hundred and twenty five families supplied with the suspected milk thirty seven are sick, probably with typhoid fever. The suspected milk constitutes probably one tenth of the entire amount supplied to and nsed by the whole village. Of the one hun drsd and twenty quarts sold by the milkmen eighty quarts came from the dairy on which the disease prevailed. The cases are most numerous along the part of the route first supplied by the milkman and where he fur nished milk from the suspected dairy. The cases are scattered all about the village, indi-

Baron Tennyson has now been poet laureate for twenty-three years. When Wordsworth died the appointment was offered to old Samuel Rogers, who declined it and recommended Tennyson for the place. It is a curious fact that letter was sent to Mir. Rogers, from the head of the ministry, to ask what MT. Tennyson had written, and if it would be perfectly safe, on moral grounds, to name him. Politicians do not often med dle much with true poetry.

 siderable number who drank this milk with impunity some few are reported as protected
 by various conditions, such as having pre- viously had the disease, advanced age, etc. Their escape, however, is for various reasons not an argument against the hypothesis.
 Lord Chief-Justice Coleridge does not think the little he saw of this great country qualities him to write 8 book about it. He writes from London to MT. Elliott F. Shep- ard as follows: Tomorrow MT. Gladstone has asked himself to dine with us, and we shall have, know, 8 great deal of American talk together. He is very anxious that some one should write really good and authentic book about your people |. But I, for my part, shrink from attempting anything even so serious as 8 magazine article; and the only person I can suggest is Goldwin Smith, who is half an American, and is 8 most splendid writer of English. The fact is, yousand your friends spoiled me, as I said. saw such very nice people and was so very kindly treated that I am sure my view of America is not complete. There cannot be ffty-ive millions of such men and women as I saw; and people here would say that the kindness and generosity of your people had tarned my head, or that had gone out of my mind; to which they perhaps might add had not far to go.
 It will be interesting to see what effect the opinion of the doctors of Ell Azhar, the Ma hometan college at Cairo concerning the pretensions of Ell Mahdi will have upon the Mussulmsns. This opinion says it is ortho- dox to expect another prophet about this time, that he will come from Medina and take refuge in Mecca as Mahomet did, and will be recognized by the authorities of the Mussulman faith, and proclaimed ss the true prophet. He will appear in the interval be- tween the death Of one caliph and the choice of his successor, and the caliphate will be offered to him, but he will refuse it. All these things are foretold and these signs will occur to designate the true prophet. But the present pretended Mahdi does not satisfy these conditions. The caliph is not dead, and this fellow in the Soudan, so far from refusing the caliphate, claims it. He is therefore an impostor and liar, and, as the college says, citing the language of the Kor- an: ''He who lies knowingly and with pre- meditation will have hell for his permanent abode" Whatever his ultimate fate may be he is certainly great success up to date.
