One of the sensations this week has
been the report that General A. P. Mar
tin, chairman of the police board, was
shortly to resign Some months ago 1t
will be recalled General Martin was the
subject of long and severe examina-
tion before the governor and council on
grave charges, principally that he had
allowed his name and office to be used
to coerce liquor dealers dependent on
him and his confreres for renewals of
licenses, into buying a mineral water
in which he was interested and into
insuring in company in which his
sons were interested. Public opinion
was divided as to the generals culpabil-
ity, but was not divided as to that of his
sons, who seem to be a pretty bad lot.
The governor requested General Mar
tins resignation, but did not meet with
concurrence from majority of his coun-
ell. SO General Martin staid on, as he
is one of the most famous of the artillery
generals of the late war and would not
resign under fire. He has not hitched
in good shape with his two fellow COM
missioners, and his position all told has
been very irksome. Now he has been
properly vindicated and sees a reopen
ing into business life and will, so 1t is
said, resign.

Boston streets are again crowded with
the 10000 students of its many insti-
tutions of learning, and many of the
latter are already well on into the first
term of 97. Thousands of new fresh
man faces throng the Common malls on
their way to and from the schools, and
bookish Boston is more bookish than
ever The new students are most
likely and striking looking set of young
men, taken as a whole, and they we'll
represent the various schools they be-
long to, both intellectually and physi-
cally. One need be in no wise surprised
to see a crowd of these well-greayed,
football equipped warriors pursuing
their way on a run through any of the
less frequented streets with dirty faces
and unkempt hair, but seemingly never
out of breath, no matter how far and
how fast they run. Boston has reason,
nevertheless. to be proud of the showing
of these school and college athletes. The
glow of health is on their cheeks and
they are as fine looking specimens of
American manhood as one may meet in
a days stroll.

We simply have nothing to say. except
that that was the way it was left. But,
after all, we Bostonians rather like these
little historical anomalies.

The Retail Grocers' association OF this
city Is certainly to be congratulated
upon the handsome success of the Food
fair. which has just ended with a total
attendance during four weeks Of more
than 100000 people. This fair. like those
which have preceded 1t, was gotten up
not only for the purpose of entertaining
the people. but to instruct them In the
line of the grocers business, and to
make them better acquainted with the
tremendous resources OF this trade. The
popularity of this undertaking ought to
prove instructive TO those interested in
other lines of business 1t is a method
of advertising goods that Is destined to
Igrow and to supplement advertising di-
rectly through the newspapers. There
is ample room and occasion for both of
these methods of advertising, and they
may fairly be said to supplement each
other.
