MAYOR OF BOSTON.

The victory In Boston, which makes
Thomas N. Hart mayor. was a sur
prise. Boston Is nominally Demo-
cratic, the party's nominee for gov
ernor at the last election having car
ried the city by 5000. The candidate
for mayor was Gen. Patrick A. Col
Inns. the distinguished lawyer and in
innate friend of Grover Cleveland, who
was consul general to London during
the latter's last administration. This
was deemed a strong nomination and
so poor was the outlook for Repub-
lican success that the men who run
the machinery of the G. o. p. gave the
nomination to Thomas n. Hart. whom
they disliked because OF his independ-
ence during previous incumbency OF
the position. They thought Hart
would be beaten, but Hart stands well
with the taxpayers and this fact, to-
gether with a split in the Democratic
ranks, gave him a majority OF nearly
1000. The disaffection among the
Democrats was due to the defeat OF
John r. Murphy, by Gen. Collins. In
the nominating convention, and Muir
phys friends retaliated. 1t was al

A CHINESE DAILY.

The Chinaman has worked his way
into a prominent place In the life of

taroed with the intolerance which
marked the days OF Dennis Kearney.
Inc intervening years since the man

uay may be called the period of recon
struction Of the outraged law, and

oeIerence to popular will, lawfully ex-
pressed, national legislation has shut
on chinese immigration in a large
measure, and time has shown the wis

OF leading American houses, and their
worldwide reputation for business
honesty and sagacity has won for them
last business friendships which all the
demagogues on earth could not break
Dr. make. Steamship lines and brok-
erage and banking are largely in Chin
csc hands, and the stated clearing
houses Of San Francisco passes upon
such a volume of Chinese commercial
paper as to surprise those who do not
Keep pace with the wonderful progress
OF this people. Having such great in
terests in financial circles, the Chinese
merchant needs a daily adviser and
counselor, Just as his Caucasian neigh
Dor does, and so the great innovation
OF the nineteenth century follows
Chinese daily newspaper in San Fran
cisco. The new paper is called Chung
Sal Vat Pc, which means Oriental and
Occidental Daily News. II is a four
page, six-column sheet, and is the only
Chinese daily in the world outside the
Celestial empire. The promoter and
editor OF the paper is Rev. Ng Poon
Chew, pastor OF the Presbyterian Chin
csc church, and his staff of writers
embraces some eminent Americans.
The common enemy OF civilization
among Chinese is superstition. The
existing weekly papers pander to this
weakness in the common horde and
thus perpetuate hatreds and racial
preiudices which often find utterance
in the bludgeon or pistol of the high
binder. To wipe out this cause of
trouble will be one task of the Ching
Sal Vat Pc. and all the Christianized
energies and learning of its reverend
promoter will be turned into this
needy channel. News and comment
will be up to date and faithful tran
script of what the Associated Press
furnishes for morning readers. 1t may
surprise many to learn that Cinnamon
follow great national subjects closely.
The recent Jeffries-Sharkey fight was
as eagerly watched from Chinese bull

 A large and thoroughly appreclative audience, not only from this city, but representing many others in New Eng land, as we'll as New York, filled the brilliantly lighted edif1ce.
 MT. Wister's effort was entitled The Bird of Passage" The Beethoven mass was finely rendered, the soloists being Mime. Clementine de We're, Miss Ger trude May Stein, Evan Williams and Joseph S. Baernstein, and Herr Gericke, the leader of the Symphony orchestra, conducted. The regular course of Sym phony concerts. their twentieth season, will begin next Saturday. The new hall cost $750,000.
