the Common made for Boston? If Boston was
made for the Common then we must not touch
it. no matter what suffers, no matter what the
annoyance or the inconvenience. But il the
Common was made for Boston, for the benefit
of Boston. ms il given in the very first ordinance
in 1640 or whereabouts. then you can deal with
the question in q very different way. Persons
are now living who remember when the Com
mon was pasture. l know an old gentle
man who lived a bow in Sumner street and
his father pastured his cows, a large number
! Of gentlemen did, on the Common He has
told me that he used to go up with his father 9
man in the evening and drive down the COWS
from the Common. Well. those gentlemen
were very much distressed when in the evolu-
ton of Boston it became undesirable to pasture
cows there. and they had much the same feel
ing that people have today about touching the
Common"
Mr.. Nathan Matthews. sr., father Of Mayor
Matthews. supports his wide-awake sons views
regarding the Common. Il advocate this taking
| of Boston Common, he saws, land l dom {
think sentiment should be brought into the
| question. There are probably about 8, 900 anti
| quarians in Boston, who would object to giving
over the Common, out Of 500, 600 people. And
if the question should be put to the people seven
/ eighths Of the citizens would vote to take that
| part of the Common which is necessary"
Passing from the views Of the petitioners to
| the opinions of the remonstrants completely
| changes ones intellectual atmosphere. On the
one side are distinguished Bostonians who look
at the matter in the cool, calm light Of business
expediency, while on the other hand are Bos-
| tonians even moro eminenk in business, social
| and professional life who defend every inch of
the Common as they would their own hearths
| from eesecration.
The captain OF the forces OF the remonstrants
is Mr.. Horace @. Allen, once republican can.
didate for mayor against Mr.. Matthews. In
his presentation OF the case to the Legislative
committee he stated the issue in this form: 1T

Senator Harwood's bill to regu-
late the laying out and working of
public highways and to compile the |
road law into one act, was made the
special order Of business Tuesday.
Chairman Ellis Of the committee
investigating the books III the of
fees Of the comptroller and treas
urer, sprung a decided sensation in
the house Thursday of last week.
The matter came up over a resolu-
ton to empower the investigation
committee to sit 60 days longer in
order to complete the investigation.
He furnished some startling figures
which show reckless extravaganza
and violation Of the law among high
officials, and wanted his committee
to complete an investigation which
he thinks promises some sensation
al results. According to his state
ment the funding board, composed
of Governor Buchanan, the comp
troller and treasurer, squandered
the States money in making trips
to and from New York, always put
ting in an account for a round num-
Der Of dollars without any attempt
whatever to itemize them. The ex-
penses of the executive Offices are
shown by Mr.. Ellis to be gross Vi
olations of the law. Under an act
of 1890 the appropriation for these
Offices for two years was $3,000
UAder the act Of 1891 it was $1,000
for the two years, making the total
$1,000 for four years. AS matter
of fact, the expenses have been ST.
24S.38, or S4,248.38 more than is
allowed by law. On call for the
previous question the resolution
was adopted.
A bill has been introduced in the
house having for its object the alb
clifton of the bucket-shop. Under
an act of 1898 it is made misde.
meanor to buy, sell or contract for
purchase or sale of any property Oh
thing enumerated in section / Of the
same act, and in violation Of any o.
the provisions ef section / and 2
The new bill makes it felony in
stead Of a misdemeanor, punishable
by Imprisonment in the penitenti
airy, and it is said the bill is backed
up by some Of the most Influential
business men of the State and is tn,
outcome of the Commercial banl
and Dobbins & Darcy failures a

are directly traceable to this form
Of gambling.
