Year by year, with ever increasing emphasis
The Boston Weekly Journal has beeu warranted in
putting forth the claims of sterling New England
Newspaper based ON its popular and representative
position; and for the year 1887 it has to show an
enhancement of these characteristics merely by
the promises Of the future but by the performances
of the past, which are their vouchers.
More than half century of work and progress,
i'll which The Journal has kept abreast of times
when journalism made its most rapid strides, has
given this paper a standing and stability that
not be lightly questioned; and instead of adding in
price while gaining in ground for appreciation it
has minimized the cost to its readers the reasona-

AN ~EMBEZZLING MAYOR.

Serious charges have been made by the
Philadelphia Times against VIM. B. Smith,
Mayor of the city. Thelatter is openly &C.
cused OF being a thief and embezzler to an
amount OF mady thousand dollars. The
only reply the Mayor has made to the very
grave charges is that he has not money
enough to engage in a lawsuit. The Times,
in a scathing editorial, in a recent issue,
says: mayor Smith yesterday paid into
the City Treasury an additional sum of
$4,000, being the third payment forced
from him within the last week by the ex.
posure OF his lawless retention of citv
moneys. Until the Goth Of this rlonth he paid
into the treasury only thes sun OF $25Oduring
the present year, which payment was made
on the thirteenth Of February for the sale
of a cow. Mayor Smith has put himself in
the attitude Of a criminal chief magistrate
openly defying the law and in~solently at.
fronting intelligent and honest public ssnti
ment. He challenges every good citizen to
the assertion OF the majesty OF the law by
his staggering lawlessness. For him to re-
main in executive charge of the second
city OF the nation and the first in intelli-
gence and respect for the law, would be a
consuming reproach on Philadelphia and
an imitation to lawlessness and embex-
clement in every public trust and every
enterprise" It ia stated that
Mayor Smith has threatened to shoot Col.
Mcclure, the editor of the PHILADELPHIA
Times, on sight.

A SCRAP OE HISTORY.

1t is going the rounds of the Easter
press that the bill which placed Gen. Gran,
on the retired list OF the army, passed bott
Houses of Congress. and received the Presi
deut's signature, in a shorter space of time
than any other enactment. At 11:4O,
March 5, 1885, says the Atlanta Constitu.
ton, everything was confusion at the Capt..
toll in anticipation OF Cleveland's approach.
The House IVA in q storm over a contested
election, when Samuel J. Randall rose in
his place and secured silence. He moved in
a few appropriate words that the bill retir-
ing Gen. Grant be taken up. The request
was complied with, and with one dissenting
voice it went through the House. It was
now less than a quarter to IL. In five
minutes the bill had passed the Senate and
was instantly signed by the Speaker of the
House, the President of the Senate and
President Arthur. As the Secretary re.
turned to the Senate to the ap-
proval of the bill, he brought with him the
nomination Of Gen. Grant to the position
on the retired list-that of General-which
the act created. On motion OF Senator
tho nomination was confirmed
without reference, as was done in the case
Sheridan to be Major-General in the reg
ular army after the success at Winchester.
confirmation was barely announced
by the President Of the Senate when the
hands CT the clock were on the figure IL,
and Grover Cleveland walked in, to be
sworn in as the first Democratic President
in the history OF the Republic, after the
civil war.

lays down propositions which the Tories
cannot gaiusay. He sees the inevitable,
and has the courage to bring it to the view

life, more compulsion from the hands OF

nents in one OF it's particular forms. It
will arise as a wounded warrior sometimes
arises on the field of battle and stabs to
the heart some soldier OF the victorious
army who had been exulting over him."
and then adds: "All currents of political
atmosphere, as between the two islands,
have been cleansed and sweetened, for Ire
land now knows what she has never known
that even under her defeat the deep rift
of division runs all through the English
nation in her favor; that there is not
throughout the land a parish or q village
where there are not hearts beating in
unison with her heart; where there are not
minds earnestly bent on the acknowledge
ment and permanent establishment OF her
claims to national existence under these
happier circumstances"

The American Railroad Journal says:
There is only one European railway com
pany with a mileage anywhere as near as
great as the longest OF ours, namely, tia
Paris, Lyons & Mediterranean, with 4,7S3
miles; but it has larger earnings than any
American system worked under a single
management. The largest earnings per
mile in France are by the Northern (2,16O
miles). These great systems, like ours, in.
clude some lines with an immensely heavy
traffic, and others with very light business,
usually embracing all lines in a given dis
trict, many OF which the companies were
required to build as one of the conditions
OF their charters. The French-Algerian
roads make a very poor showing indeed.
The French State railroads, including
1920 miles Of exceptionally unproductive
lines, earned S3,281 per mile last year.

and there il not the least faint Of iobbery
or corruption about it. His private life
has been equally pure. It has been one OF
the most exemplary in public life. No
public man stands higher in Washington
than Mr.. Toole and none holds the esteem
and confidence of hie associates to y higher
degree. So much personal.
From a political standpoint the nomi-
nation is a good one. It meets with the
approval Of the masses OF the people
irrespective OF party afilation-and so
far have not heard a single leader Of the
party utter a dissenting word. All the
hope of the Republicans il this direction
has already faded. Major Maginnis will
not accommodate them by fighting the
ticket, but has already expressed his readi-
ness to take the stump. Such is the ex-
pressed purpose of every leader ofthe party
and from every side comes the same sort
OF report. G. or

ACCORDING to the New York Star Lieut..
Hem has made a very interesting PROPOSE
ton to American yachtmen~ He wants to
test the comparative sea-going qualities of
the "Galatea" and the American type Of
yacht. Therefore he proposes a race from
Sandy Hook to and around the Island Of
Bermuda and back between the "Galatea"
and ar American sloop. If the owners and
captains Of American sloops have any con-
fidence in their craft as ocean going ships,
they ought to accept the challenge. The
Lieutenant makes the way for such an &C.
ceptance as clear as possible by offering to
be bound by American rules of measure
ment, and to leave the management of the
race to the New York Yacht Club. It will
be equivalent to a trial OF speed for half
the distance to England, and will be one of
the most interesting yachting events that
have ever taken place.

The Missoulian of the twenty-seventh
has the following kind words to-day of the
Hon. j. X. Toole: 1--WE are inclined to
think the Democracy at Helena did the
correct thing when they renominated Joseph
K. Toole for Congress for another season.
He has now served one term, and done SO
creditably. 1t was not an easy berth for
a man to 60 to Washington and step into
the position so long and well occupied by
Martin Hagirnis. After two years service
we hear no complaints against him, not in
stigated by political prejudice, and it is a
good thing when you have a faithful en-
ploye in any position to keep him there. so
long as he remains capable and attentive
to the trusts confided to his care. Thefact
that he seemed to have almost no compe-
tition for the place speaks several strong
words to his credit. Should he be elected,
we nave no doubt he will fiji the position
with honor to himself and satisfaction to
the people,"

at $40 D.. m. To say that We were tired
would be a mild way OF putting it. Thirty.
five and a half miles of coaching up and
down hill, oyer rocky roads, in the heat
and dust. is not, to say the least, particu-
larly exhilirating.
Our night at Dillon I shall never forget.
We arrived there about $50 p. M. and
went to a hotel, where we were ushered
into a long and warm room filled with
trunks and one thing and another, a sort

dows were in the roOf and the mirror

but the house was full-so it was, Of bed

called US at = o'clock in the mornins-:hs
people OF the hOust, not the bedbuss-so
that we might be in time for the coach,
which lett at 1870 a. m. We had amyle
time, and did justice to the breakfast,
which was q very good one. In our hurry
and confusion at the Butte Depot we for
got to get our return tickets. which dis
covery we made after our departure and
sent back for them.
But for all of our trouble and difficulties
we have been more than compensated.
We found our friends we'll and delighted to
see us. One rarely sees a more charming
spot than the leafs shade, the luxuri mt
green of this country home. 1t is q plea
sure to exchange the din Of the hot and
dusty city, the movements of the crowd
and the gossip OF society for the quiet
seclusion OF q beautiful grove, the song OF
the woodland brook. the pure country air
and the peaceful rural scenes. The cottage
built OF logs many years ago in the early
days OF Montana stands upon a slightly in
clined eminence. apart from the highway
and seems to welcome ono with open
arms. It is large and commodious and
contains all that speaks of prosperity and
have found each day some new place under
the trees by the side OF the brook, and
while away the hours with something good
to read, until the long twilight of the sum-
mer evening steals on and the shadows
deepen without, then we all congregats
upon the broad veranda which extends the
whole length of the house and talk until
we grow sleepy. These scenes are repeated
again and again; VI do not grow tired Of
them, but on the contrary, dread the ap-
proach of u departure for home. The
quiet little village of Sheridan contains
about a hundred inhabitants. There is no
telephone or telegraph. The people depend
upon the regularity of the daily coach for
their communication with the outside
world, but men are busy farming, a few OF
them mining and every one seems to wear
a look OF peace and contentment which is
pleasant to see. C. M. r.
