ous1y mismanaged. Each one has its
ring of politicians, generally its two
rings. When one is out, the other is in.
Occasionally a wave of civic virtue
sweeps away the machine, and then the
honest voters rest on their oars until
they again find that the politicians have
rebuilt it and are once more in power.
Just at the present period several of
the big cities of the Union are enjoying
what are termed reform administra
tions, and the resulting experiments
which are under way are interesting to
watch. In classic Boston a brand new
idea is being given q trial. Its author is
Mayor Josiah Quincy. Boston, by the
way, has been singularly free from
municipal scandal in comparison with
other big cities. Mayor Quincy, in order
to carry out his promise to give Boston
the best administration practicable, has
surrounded himself with a sort Of ad-
visory council of prominent business
men. This council has been facetiously
called ''the mayors cabinet
Although Mayor Quincy's idea has
not been in operation very long, it has
already proved to be a good one. The
council seems to be Of much assistance
Tt is composed of five men, each one of
whom is solid citizen and successful
business man. Mr.. A. Shuman repre-
sents the chamber of commerce, Messrs.
Jerome Jones and Jonathan Lane rep
resent the associated board of trade, Mr..
John @. Cobb represents the real estate
exchange, and Robert A. Burnett repre-
sents the Merchants association.
no ~ hc
" advisory and in no way administra-
tive. The members advise the mayor in
all matters of great municipal impor-
lance, but do not bind him to any &C
ton, although their suggestions are uni
formly regarded as Of great weight. The
council can and does suggest legislation
and the revision of ordinances. Its func-
tions are elastic and while possessing no
legal existence it exercises a good deal
of power. The members of the council,
being business men and not politicians,
are entirely nonpartisan in their use of
their power and are guided only by
desire to promote public interests.
Whethe1Vhis scheme will be tried by
mayors of other cities is doubtful. It
has the advantage of interesting in mu-
nicipal affairs men who can offer valu-
able assistance in the management of a
big civic corporation and who could not
be induced to neglect their private bust
ness to the extent that the holding of an
Office would entail The Bostonians
seem to be satisfied that their city is
pretty we'll governed and are encourag
ing the new idea.
In New York an entirely different
state of affairs exists. The metropolis is
under a reform administration, but it
seems to lack something. Mayor Strong
went into Office as business man s can

the vacant places. Tt was then that
Mayor Strong began to be bothered by
the various political factions which had
helped slect him. In his perplexlty he
seems to have made some appointments
which have aroused the lively animosity
of some of the elements that supported
him in the election. In spite of some
mistakes, however, the reforI1ers say
that they have much to be thankful for.
In Brooklyn, too, it is claimed that
the ring has been smashed. The City
of Churches has probably suffered as
much from mismaDagementa as any 9TH
er in the country. The first man TO
knock out the ring there was Seth Low,
who is now president CT Columbia col
lege. This happened more than dozen
years ago, before the National Munich
pal Reform league had ever been
thought of. The city government was
then in control of a set of boodlers who
had been made bold by long immunity.
Both political machines were understood
to be interested in continuing the con-
troll of the ring, and the taxpayers felt
themselves to be completely helpless.
At last a mass meeting was called. and
Seth Low was nominated mayor to head
a reform ticket. He was young, wealthy
and the president Of an active indie
pendent political club. He made a live
~ and aggressive campaign He simply
promised the citizens an honest admin
istration. The ring politicians laughed
at his straightforward methods of can
wasting, but they were sorry lot when
the votes were counted, for it was found
that the reform ticket had been elected
by big majority. Low was mayor Of
the city for six years. and when he re-
tired, much against the wishes of the
people, Brooklyn was well governed
city. It did not stay so, however.
In Chicago Mayor Swift is trying to
conduct the business of the western me-
tropolis with honesty and wisdom. lie
has done away to a great extent with
boss rule, and is responsible for many
changes for the better.
The most picturesque reformer Of the
lot is Mayor Pingree of Detroit. "Pota-
to Patch Pingree'' he is called by some
who ridicule his unique methods. He
has already served several terms and is
extremely popular with the masses. He
first attracted attention and supporters
by making war on the corporations. He
gained his unique sobriquet by securing
the vacant city lots for the use of poor
people as potato patches Last year
many.thousands of bushels of potatoes
were raised on these urban farms and
many acres of land that had before been
lying idle were utilized.
In San Francisco they have popular

thr"pic millionaire who went into the
campaign with two machine candidates
and an independent opponent against
him and came out with flying colors.
1t hardly seems probable that all these
evidences of reaction against municipal
misrule were merely condolences. It
looks rather as if there had been an Or
ganized movement in the interest of
civic reform. 1t is probable that the
National Municipal Reform league will
claim great share of the credit. Per-
haps the claim is correct. The league
has been in existence but little more
than two years, the first convention hav-
ing been held in January, 1894, at Phil
adelphia. The organization was not COM
pleted until May of the same year, but
since that time the growth has been
rapid and the interest has increased
wonderfully. When the first conference
was held, there were between 40 and so
local municipal reform leagues distrib-
uted in IA states. The latest report
gave the number of organizations in the
national league as $50, distributed among
81 states. This list does not include the
numerous women s clubs that have been
formed in various cities.
The municipal reformers have met
with defeat in many instances, but they
seem to have kept their courage and are
as active as ever. In cities where they
have been successful it has only been
after sustaining successive defeats.
The reformers have learned lesson
from the ring politicians, for they have
gone about the work of systematic or
ganization. In Chicago the Civic feder-
alton has an organization in each ward.
with central council composed of one
representative from each ward council
The ward councils are made up in turn
by members of the precinct councils. In
Boston there is the Municipal league,
which is composed of $50 delegates rep
resenting a great number of societies
and organizations. The Philadelphia
Municipal league has been much ridi-
Culed by its opponents, but still con-
times to work in its own peculiar way
The various reform societies in New
York cannot always agree as to method,
but when they do their strength is shown
to be enough to make the Tammany
tiger hunt his hole.
The progress of the reform movement,
as a whole, is being watched by the po-
itical economists with much interest,
and if it survives the fire of presiden
tial election it will be considered as the
beginning of an era of better municipal
rule and not as mere spasm Of reform.

POET RILEY's TESTIMONIAL.

His Expression of Grief at the Death of
Mr. Nye.
James Whitcomb Riley, when informed
of Mr.. Nye's death, said:
ESPECIALLY favored, as for years have
been, with close personal acquaintance
and association with Mr.. Nye, his going
fills me with grief. He was unselfsh,
wholly 80, and am heartened by recall
ing the always patient strength and gen
tleness Of this true man, the unfailing
hope and cheer and faith OF his child heart
his noble and heroic life and pure devotion
to his home, its sanctity of love for mother,
brothers, wife, children, friends; his deep
realizations-all in happiest action and
somehow, somewhere, he continues cheer
lily on in the unbroken exercise of these
same capacities, marked an endowment
of his spirit nature as was his peculiar gift
of genius
Mr.. Riley wrote the following poem:
TO EDGAR WILSON NYE.
o civilian i'm thy blithe companionship,
What liberty is nine-what sweet release
From clamorous strife, and yet what bolster
peacei
Hoi hol it is thy fancy's finger tip
That dints the dimple now and kinks the lip
That scarce may sing, in all this glad in
crease
OF merrimenti &c. pray thee, do not cease
To cheer me thus-for, underneath the Quip
OF thy drolI sorcery, the wrangling fret
OF all distress is still-no syllable
OF sorrow vexeth memo teardrops wet
My teeming lids, save those that leap to tell
Thee thou TT guest that overweepe6h yet
Only because thou joketh overwell.

TRIAL BY OONVIOTs.
Strange Occurrence In a Jail In Coving
ton, Ky.

Strange Occurrence In q Jail In Coving-
ton, KY.
Probably the most extraordinary trial
in the history of Kentucky took place the
other afternoon. It occurred in the Gov
ington Jail, and judge, jury, counsel and
prisoner were all inmates of the Jail, I'M
der sentence for infrac6ions of the law.
The defendant was John Morgan, who
stole the trotting FLY Silvereen from Mr..
J. B. Respuss. George Myers, the we'll
known shell worker, was prosecuting at
torney.
Jim Harrison, who burglarized a school
house in Ludlow, was the attorney for the
defense. George Russell, serving term
for housebreaking and larceny, was the
judge, and Jim Adams, Joe Callahan, the
two Collins boys, Fred Myers and John
Leopold, all convicted of misdemeanors,
were the jurymen.
Morgan was formally acquitted of the
charge of horse stealing, and written or
der for his release was transmitted to Jailer
Mcknight. The prosecuting attorney en-
tered writ of supersedeas, however, and
Morgan was sentenced to five years for
getting caught. In lieu of his time SEN
tence he was tied up by the hands and FIVE
strokes with a broomstiok were admins
tered by the prosecuting attorney. The
Jail court has already fixed a date for the
trial of jackson and Walling, whose ar
rival is looked forward to with consider
able anxiety by the prisoners.

WANTS HER BROTHER.
The Story of Good Little Girl
Topeka Ladies' Found Home For.

q
Topeka Ladies' FOund a Home For.
About eight years ago Topeka
woman died leaving a helpless husband
and two children One was a little girl
OF nine or ten aud the other was boy of
one year The helpless father had a
married sister who, though poor herself,
felt able to take care of the baby. The
girl was sent to the Orphans home that
"a good home might be found for her.
In few months an application came to
the home for little Hester. The applica-
ton was all right, excepting that it was
from spinster.
"What will she know about raising a
chiId?" said some of the Home ladies?
THE chances are the child will grow up
q regular crank"
They didn': know this particular old
maid,
There was considerable internal dis
cussion about it, the upshot of which was
that Hester went out into Kansas great
many miles to become this old maids
little girl.
Soon afterward Hester's fathers sister
began to feel the burden of Hesters broth :
er, little Benny, and he too was sent to the
Home
In about year he was sent to live
with a family some distance south and
remained there for two years. At the
end of that time the Home ladies decided
that Benny was not being brought up
just right and took him back.
That was tvs years ago nearly and Ben
ny ia still at the Home.
Last week letter came for him.
1t was from Hester. Benny, who is 8
years old now, was almost able to read it
himself.
"Dosr brother Benny" the letter said:
Aunt Kate (meaning the old maid who
adopted her) has been SO good to me that
1 have been as happy as l can be. have
been going to school right along and
this spring am going to graduate and
have been promised a school just as soon
as l get a certificate which will be
