with these newcomers the story Is every

and they do not seek the leadership OF men

tho Russians and Austrians are concerned.
tho reason OF this is plain. They come
from countries where absolutism In gov

unknown. The right OF franchise they did
not enjoy abroad. and IL is conferred upon
them here as new and unexpected gift, the

for the Globes sake. Now York thinks highly
OF Boston. which is busy little place. with
some quiet streets and good water supply.
and which. in old times. had number of dis
tnguished men among its citizens. very few OF
whom. however. were born in it. and some Of
whom were New Workers. by birth. New York
praises Boston. though 1t IL impossible to
praise Boston's municipal Government. New
York does justice to tho literary character OF
Boston. while sorrowfully admitting that Bos-
ton has lost the literary prestige which it once
had. New York esteems Boston in every way.
though tho Boston Globe docs not estccm New
York ut all. We respectfully call upon Boston
to give Now York fair play as here stands New
