ously mismanaged. Each one has its
ring Of politicians, generally its two
rings. When ono 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 brand new
idea is being given 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 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
to the executive department of the city.
IL is composed of five men, each one of
whom is a solid citizen and successful
business man. Mr.. A. Shuman repre-
sents the chamber of commerce, MesErs.
Jerome Jones and Jonathan Lane rep
resent the associated board of trade, Mr..
John G. Cobb represents tho real estate
exchange, and Robert A. Burnett repre-
sents the Merchants association.
The functions Of the council are pure
ly 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 ac-
tion. 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-
tons 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 noDpartisan in their use Of
their power and are guided only by a
desire TO promote public interests.
Whether this 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 q
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 tleir city Is
pretty well governed and are encourag-
ing the new idea.
In New York an entirely different
state of affairs exists. The metropolis is
under reform administration. but it
seems to lack something. Mayor Strong
went into Office as business mans can

the vacant places. IL was then that
Mayor Strong began to be bothered by
the various political factions which had
helped elect him. In his perplexity he
seems to have made some appointments
which have aroused the lively luminosity
of some of the elements that supported
him in the election. In spite of some
mistakes, however. the reformers say
that they have much TO be thankful for.
In Brooklyn. too, il is claimed that
the ring has been smashed. The City
Of Churches has probably suffered as
much from mismanagement as any oth-
or in the country. The first man 10
knock out the ring there was Seth Low,
who is now president of Columbia col
lege. This happened more than a dozen
years ago, before the National Munich
pal Reform league had ever been
thought of. The city government was
then in control of 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 tine. taxpayers felt

the votes were counted, for 1t 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 a we'll governed
city. 1t did not stay so. however.
In Chicago Mayor Swift is trying to
conduct the business of the western me-
tropolis with honesty and wisdom. He
has done away to 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
mayor too. Mayor Sutro is a philan-

Illustrating a Sermon,

A north country clergyman once made
clear even to the dullest of his flock the
difficulty of treading the straight and
narrow path, as contrasted with descent
on the spacious highway leading in the
other direction. Before he was well
started in his discourse he ran down the
pulpit stairs and proceeded to suit the
action to the word.
"My brethren" he cried, "the road
to heaven is like this" And lying fiat
ON the banister he began to pull himself
up, hand over hand. as laboriously as O
boy climbs as creased pole.
At last he reached the top. and got
ON his feet again, happy in his Christian
victory. Then. having taken breath. be

half sitting posture with rapidity and
grace that betrayed juvenile familiar
ity with the route. Pearson Weekly.

thropic millionaire who went into the
campaign with two machine candidates
and an independent opponent against
him and came out with flying colors.
It hardly seems probable that all these
evidences of reaction against municipal
misrule were merely condolences. 1t
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 a 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, bnt still con-
tinues 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 20 make the Tammany
tiger hunt his hole.
The progress of the reform movement,
as whole, is being watched by the po-
htical 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 a mere spasm of reform.

Malaria.

There are numerous diseases having
their origin in the blood, but which on
the surface do not appear to be blood
disease. Such is Malaria, which is
poison breathed into the lungs, and thus
taken into the blood and circulated, inn
buing the entire system with its morbid
effects. Those who have suffered from
this dreaded disease know what life
less condition ensues and how the vitality
is wasted away so that death is often
caused by some simple malady, because
OF the low ebb to which life is reduced
by this poverty of blood. This condi-
ton of the blood often gives rise to
boils, carbuncles, Assesses and ulcers,
and not infrequently causes catarrh,
bronchitis, and even consumption.
