The Boston Lesson,

The municipal election in Boston has re.
suited in the reelection Of Mayor o 'Brien,
Democrat, and the choice Of majority
Of Democratic councilmen and aldermen.
The Labor vote, which was expected TO
have directing influence on the election,
was but thirty.six hundred, while
O'Brien's plurality over his Republican
competitor was forty-four hundred.
The result shows that the labor element
is not good basis for political party in
the present condition of things. 1t made
an exhibition in New York, in the vote it
gave to Henry George for mayor, that gave
birth to this Boston movement; but Bos-
ton is not New York and there was no room
there, and there is none in the country gen
orally, for Labor party. The laboring in
terest calls for employment at fair COM
pensation; and the importance which the
knights of Labor have attained as an
organization is in the promise of success
which consolidation of laborers gives to
their demands upon their employers but
no increase, but certain disintegration of
their power, is sure TO come from their set.

that have for some months been going stea d.
ily upward. The improvement in busi-
ness in the country and the feeling of con-
hdence which obtains in the business COM
munity has been the occasion of floating
great number Of schemes, which doubtless
affords enough promise of profit as the Years
80 by, but which are not yet grown to the
proportions which their projectors promise
for them. The South and the West are
particularly the fields for such schemes.
j. Is quite in accordance with the expert.
euce of the West that it should be always
ahead in speculative business but it is a
new thing for the South, where railroads
and furnaces and mines are now being pro.
iected on scale thatlastonishes the rest of
the country if it does not the natives.
Southern railroad property has been very
uninviting property in the past and the
promise of immediate income for new
roads is not promising to the man who has
asufiicient knowledge of the value of a
dollar.
The present fall in speculative values of
their right stocks will have good effect in
restraining the ardor of those who see the
promise of the future realized in the pr, g
eut, and will teach them to go slower in
reaching forward toward golden goals.

Very few people appreciate the importance

the everlasting hum of our manuiactores
night and day, and every orator who talk
sbout the spleudor OF this country refers in
the most glowing language to our workshops

of. He sits quietly in the background by
the side Of his plough and threshing machine
as though he were of little account

nation, however, by few figures which may

Phi1adelphja's Plans.

The propositions which overwhelm the
Philadelphia councils to lease their gas
works, at prices yielding great revenue
TO the city ,one would think would cause the
gas trustees of that much fleeced town to be
drummed out of it. 1t is clear enough that
there has been such mismanagement, 10
call it by its mildest name, of the city's gas
works as would, in ancient times, when
people were not used as now TO abuse by
their officials, have caused the abusers to
lose their heads.
Instead of feeling any fear of this kind
these men in Philadelphia have calmly of
fered TO the city an inviting profit for q
lease to them of the gas works which would
enable them to realize millions out of it
They came very near getting possession o.
the works, but the richness of the prizt
drew many to the bidding for it, and theil
moderate offer was thrown too far in the
shade to be accepted. John Wanamaker
who has a very keen eye for dollar, offered
] to throw in bridge and take smaller share
Of the profit if he was given the contract
and Mr.. Harrah proposes to run the works
and furnish the gas at seventy-fye cents
per thousand instead of dollar and q.
half. The tempting propositions are SC
many as to satisfy the people that they
have very good thing in their gas works
and the councils, finding that the present
managers of the business will be left in
the cold under the leasing plan, are likely
to be content to abandon the undertaking
to lease the works.
A proposition akin to the one made by Mr.
Harrah should recommend itself to the
I business sense of the people, who may be
supposed to want cheap gas. There does
not seem to be any reason why the
gas, any more than the water, should be
charged to the people above the cost OF
itsproduction and it is probable that the
city can get cheaper gas under contract
than il can make under its own manage.

ness by letting the contract for short
time, with power to repossess itself at any
time that it is dissatisfied with the way il
which the business is being done, the in
terests of the city would seem to be wei
protected.
