NEW YORK OPINION OF BOSTON
Tart Reply OF Il Gotham Newspaper ts
Critic.


Critic.
From the New York Times: An ami.
able friend writes to us, lanenting
what lie mistakingly calls the "unlind
that have appeared in this column
from time to time since the war with
Spain began. His letter closes with
the words: Boston. is the Athens Of
America; you can't deny that" Per-
haps we don't want to. Let's see.
Athens, like Boston. is a city with a
great and glorious-past. Athens, like
Boston, more or less has produced
many illustrious sons-soldiers and
sailors of dauntless courage, philoso-
pliers with mighty minds, statesmen
able to found nations in deserts, poets,
sculptors, painters, architects, with
whom rivalry seems almost hopeless.
The world famed Athenians, like the
world famed Bostonians, are all dead.
and report hath it that in each of these
towns the ghosts regard the living
population with a CONSERVATION vcrg-
ing on despair, and give it lots of room
on the sidewalk. Considering all this
we are willing to admit our amiable
friends contention, if he really wants
us to do so, aid even to put his asser-
ton in the most explicit form. Bos-
ton was to America what Athens was
to Greece; Boston is to America what
Athens is to Greece. Now, is he con-
tent, or does he realize that his plea
was decidedly more "unkind" than our
criticisms?

lELECI1.NG OF SENATOR'S.

The sooner we get to electing
United States senator by the peo-
pie the better. Hardly all odd
year passes-the odd year being
the year of senatorial election all
over the country-when the choice
of United States senators by the
state legislatures is not attended
In some Of them with more OF less
aisgraceful scenes, and with
charges Of bribery and corruption
against one or more of the candi-
dates. Dead)ecks covering periods
are a very common accompaniment
OF these contests, and sometimes
continue to the end of the session;
so THAT, as happened not long ago
in Oregon, Delaware and Ksn-
'ncky, the seat of one senator from
each was long vacant
From three states come charges
that bribery has been resorteG to
by one or the other of the candi.
dates. In Montana these charges
took such definite form that they
are now before the grand jury for
Investigation. In Califurnis the
speaker of the assembly has met a
charge Of bribery by suing the
newspaper which made itself re.
sponsible for tho accusation for
damages IN the sum of S250,000.
IL Wisconsion no definite charge
has been made, but the Legislature
is stirred up by a rumor THAT a
member was offered bride by q
wealthy Chicago concern in the
interest Of one of the candidate.
No names arc given. But there is
likely to be trouble oyer the &C
cusntion.
On account of the absolute neg
lect OF Legislation during the early
| day vi The session the work OF the
last week is always hurried. Scores
OF bills are railroaded through
without examination, and relyiug
on this fact, scheming men cause
to be attached to them clauses of
the most obnoxious nature, which
becomes laws to Cypress the tax
payers and enrich the political
| HusSts.
Ane system at present in vogue
ct e'ecting United States senators
is evil and only evil. Ii has dis.
as;ruus effect from the beginning
OF the campaign to its close. 1t
results, IN many st case, in the
election to the state legislatures,
of men who are both corrupt and
incompetent, and it has debauch-
iag influence on then, after they
ara e-,scted. Could the fathers of
Ike constitution, who established
this custom, see what use has been
made of it, they would turn over
IN their graves with horror. There
is but one right and expeaient
way TO elect @ United States sen-
;stor, and that is by popular vote.
