Ex-representatiye Bowman, in a
speech made at Someryille, Massachu-
sets, day or two ago, said: ftWhen a
man has got through with his business
so as to be independent, let him, if he
win, go into pollti al life for amusement.
Political life must hereafter be given up
to the rich man." There is much to bear
out Mr.. Bowman's assertions, especially
so much as pertains te members of con-
gress. There is too much reason to fear
that the "barrel' in politics is getting to
be potent factor of success. Where
are there two men aspiring to congress
with equal capacity and characters, the
masses are very apt to vote for the
richest-and very often d. so when the
richest is far inferior in anything but
money

Shocking Developments in the
Old Bay State.

In the Tewksbury almshouse inquiry
in Boston, by a legislative committee,
ex-Watchman Dudley testified that one
night he caught the wife of Superintend-
ent Marsh opening trunks and taking
clothing from them; Mrs. Hope told him
she saw the same thing, and that the
most valuable dresses were taken .,y
Mrs. Marsh to her private store room
and made over. Twenty children in
one ward used to cry at night because of
hunger. One night he saw fonr bodies
resurrected and driven off in wagon,
The food for the inmates and insane WIS
always very poor. A man who drove the
hospital team told the witness that he had
taken up sixty-eight bodies in eight
months, for which Marsh paid him.
Describing the wretched condition and
treatment of the insane, be said that one
woman, in dirty cell in the attic, was
entirely without clothing and almost q
skeleton. She had only one meal day,
carried her by an idiotic girl, who was
seen to throw the food away and come
back with the empty plate, telling that
the woman had eaten all the food. The
insane woman's name was Mary Barron.
To Gov. Butler, the witness, said that
of seventy-three children that came
there in a year, only one lived.

Tory, proprietor of the Chnrchman and

cast disrespect on the memory of his

letter was read from the Rev. Howard
Crosby, in which he declined to be pres

discussing the multiplication table or the
virtue of his mother as the subject of
religion. There was much excitement
among the guests in consequence of the
strong expressions of opinion duringth

Danger of a Hlistrial in the Star
Route Gases.

A serious complication is threatened
in the star route trial, and, as before
the trouble is in the jury box. There is
no bribery in the matter, but more Sc
rious thing, involving the life of Juror
Hughes. When he was assigned a seat
among the jury, nearly four months-ago
it was observed that there was slight
swelling of excresence, which proved to
be cancer. This increased rapidly, and
it is now larger than mans hand. One
of the attorneys for the government has
been along newspaper row, where the
correspondents offices are situated and
became the voluntary authority for the
statement that the explanation of the
lenthy cfoss-examination by the defense
of government witnesses lies in this fact.
No one could fail to notice the rapid
progress made in the destroyer, and it
is regarded as only question of short
time before Juror Hughes will be forced
to leave the jury box and there viii be
a mistrial. There is said te be no hope
for the sufferer, and his pitiable condi-
ton has been freely commented upon
by visitors to the court room.

exercised d powerful control over tae

Wing party, his wonderful powers Of

600 troops were under arms and ready
TO march at a moments warming. One
fiery municipal counselor said that the
existence of the present republic was
due to the selfsacriicing ardor of such
patriots as Louise Michel; that the con-
fiagrations of 1871 purified Paris, but
that other CONGREGATIONS might be nee

same state of excited anticipation exists
Meetings are held almost daily, and
