James H. Mellen isn't making many
laws for the commonwealth just now,
but he can be depended upon to create
a sensation and make sport for the boys.
whenever he revisits the state house. If
there isn't any occasion for his ex-
hibition, he never mas any difficulty in
making one. James is death to tyrants,
James is. If he could only be persuaded
to remove the scene of his activities
from Worcester and locate permanently
in the vicinity of Beacon hill, we should
still have the joy of reading of his
ground and lofty tumbling, without be-
ing dazzled by too close proximity to
the rare effulgence of the halo of tinsel
and paste wiamonds with which he is
adorned

Apparently the influence of the coun-
try editors of the south and west was
what upset the Loud postal reform bill
again. There were other influences at
work, to be sure, and these were not
without strength, but they did not cut
SO important a figure in other parts of
the country as in the east, and the
bulk of the opposition to the bill came
not from the east, but from the south
and west. Yet there We're good New

Another instance of the intelligent
criticism Of the yellow kids is the de-
nunciation of Secretary Long for not
having sufficient war supplies of am
munition on all the ships, whether at
Hong Kong or at Dry Tortugas OF
course the little matter of insufficient
appropriations from congress would not
deter them from pitching into the Sec
retary for not spending the money, and
putting the Pacific station on a war
footing as soon as he assumed office,
months ago. But then, the yellow
kids assertions doesn't count as evil
dence. Sometimes it is true, but more
often it isn't.

The announcement that the stock of
20 horseless cabs now in service in New
York will be gradually increased to a
thousand, and probably the fares re-
duced, seems to be proof that the sys-
tenn is growing in popularity in Gotham
as in various European cities, notably
London and Paris. Possibly this may
quicken the recent abortive movement
for a cheaper cab service in. the great
American 'metrolopus." The reform is
needed badly enough.
Worcester morning daily spy., 1898-03-05

London-probably all England-never
witnessed so exciting a city election
canvass as that which closed Thursday,
with the success of the progressives "a
local pseudonym for liberals or radi-
calls. The fierceness of the contest COM
pletely overshadowed national politics,
and everybody, from the prime minister
down, became absorbed in it. The prog
ress of the canvass was varied by the
introduction of many of the so-ealled
American methods which Senator
Lodge has shown have scarcely been
improved upon in the old country. There
were vituperation and billingogate in
discussion. There was rowdyism
to break UP rallies" and there were
train-loads of ''repeaters'' imported from
the rural districts to vote on the dead
list" All these things contributed to
the picturesqueness of the contest, but
what was the fight about2
Primarily, 1t seems that the greater
London" which, both in name and in
fact, was the forerunner and inspira-
tion of the greater New York" has
become much too big for it's breeches
1t cannot be contained, governed or ad-
ministered. The county council of lis
councillors and 10 aldermen Ghe latter
appointed by the counciD had so many
petty details to look after, that much
important business went by the board.
Therefore it was proposed to create un-
der the council a system of district or
vestry boards to look more carefully af-
ter local needs. This was Lord Sails
buys plan, to be carried through par
lament as a sort of amendment to the
original scheme of county council gov
ernment. The progressives furiously
condemned it as a device to create rich
boroughs and poor parishes, and there
fore these inveterate home rulers
denounced and refused home rule The
election turned primarily on this point,
and the progressives, radicals or liberals
won victory over the moderates, CON
servatives or liberal-unionists Mixed
UP with the central question were other
issues relating to the water supply
(Which is now controlled by eight pri-
vate eompanies), street railway fran
chises and fares, ETC., which of course
resolved themselves into a contest be-
tween the progressives and the moneyed
interests. The progressives thus far
seem to have come out on top, but
there's politics here as everywhere, and
it is believed that the main cause of
progressive QiberaD opposition to Sails
Aury's home rule amendment, is that
the party feels compelled for politics
sake, to hang on to the county council
with all its powers undiminished.
