This Bostonian's account of the sItua-
tion was very diverting, though to the
people Of Boston painfully and monstrous-
~ true. He said many Of the closed
places of mans necessities were mock
ingly or humorously placarded On the
door of one soda water place much fro
quented by children of the poor was the
legend:
Children, run away;
This is the 'Sawbuth' dayl"
On fruit stand was written:
This is the way to hell

These couplets we may accept as the
high art of the over-soul Ct New Eng.

American philosophy and poetry.
Parkhurstism apparently backed by
that wild young person Jerome, and dodg-
ed by that snow-white angel person Seth
Low, has been for some weeks trying
to make New York pharasaical type OF
pharasaical Boston; but Brother Park
hurst seems to have taken his dollrags
and gone home, Jerome is Safeguarding
the newspapers, and Seth Low is as COM
Portable as man sitting on the business
ends of a whole paper of ,a,ks. New
York is again "wide-open," and reform
Is In the fourth month of its existence

for Tammany to return to power.
"Oh, for one more term of Tammany,"
is the plant of the New Workers.. for
they are very deeply disguested with Low,
Jerome, g. Co., humbug and nondescript
reformers.
To paraphrase famous telegram sent
by old John A. Dix to the collector of
customs in New Orleans:
IF any man fly the flag of reform,
shoot him on the spot''
That is the feeling of the New Workers,
at any rate.
