United States Senators Inc rhrtncis
members Of several OF the Legislatures show oas
position to unite with Republicans in the eiecuon
of Senators who will owe no allegiance 10 '"c

It is natural to expect that hospital which
Is in part supported out of cityS treasury VIII
endeayor TO act in harmony with the citys Of
ficlals and to meet all reasonable demands MADE
unon it. The authorities of the Eastern District
Jiosnital in BROOKLYN seem 20 take another view
Of the matter, and the Health Commissioner is SO
much iucensed that he will endeavor to cut of
the $1,000 which the institution receives annually
from the CITY. Some of the recent acts Of the
hospital physicians are clearly inu"feDsible, and
il is in every way desirable that its relations with
the CITY should he definitely, established. If 1t
is public hospital the public should by all means
have the right to il, services when occasion arises
Otherwise it should not receive dollar from the
public treasury.
With Mayor Chaplin, of Brooklyn, talked OF
by his friends as a candidate for Governor, Grover
Cleveland bidding through his supporters for
the Presidential nomination. and half dozen men
claiming the United States Senatorship from this
State Governor Hill must feel that this winter,
despite the recent Democratic summer festival, IS
one of the coolest in the history Of peanut politics.
Boston has had Republican Mayor for the last
two years, and as it is commonly believed that
Boston knows good thing when she sees it, it Is
o fair presumption that she will continue her city
government in Republican hands. Mayor Hart,
who has proved an excellent chief magistrate
could have secured a nomination for third year
had he chosen to do So As it is, the nomination
has been given to Mr.. Moody Merrill, man OF
experience and standing in the community, who
has served in the State Senate. The Democratic
nominee is Nathan Mathews, jr., young man who
knows nothing of public life, and who would be
certain If elected, to turn over the city govern
ment in toto to the Democratic organization. Ii
they decide the MayOraty contest next month on
its merits the people of Boston will elect Mr.
Mathews to stay at home.
