A View of Boston.

From the Louisville Courier Journal
Boston people are, as "a rule very self
sacrificing. They inherit this spirit.
Think of the trouble the old Purltans
had in clearing the virgin soil Of
witches, imps, apparitlons and gnomes.
1t must have been really annoying to
have to neglect business simply to
stand around experimenting the burn
ing of witches ana the like. But the
stanch old ancestors did it; did it so
conscientiously that now we are able TO
go about the streets OF Boston after
dark without being snatched up by
hobgobllns or damaged by spooks.
The saloons close in Boston at IL p.
m. This state of affairs Is supposed to
be due to the misplacing Of a semicolon,
or something OF that sort. in the ori-
glnal statute. In some communities a
semicolon would be considered very
puny thing to be permitted to stand be-
tween the public and its drink. Tho
exports OF Boston consist principally Of
Goldfish, baked beans, hides and leather,
rum, books on temperance, ana wooden
Indians. This is all we know about
Boston.

PHlLApELPHlA FRANCHISES.

" EARS ago Philadelphia owned her
\ gas plant. but through msman-
agement it became a burden ON the
taxpayers So she disposed Of it to
capitalists who have made untold mill
lions out OF Il. Now there is talk Of
disposing Of her water plant to the
company which controls the gas works.
She has already gotten rid of every
thing Of value. The Traction Company
has franchise covering practically
every street in the city and this is
about to take over all the telephone
properties and franchises, including
electric lighting and heating.
SO when the gas company secures
the water works it win only be neces-
sary for the Traction Company and
the u. c. /. TO merge TO make one
company, which win control every
franchise, actual or prospective. that
our great nelghboring city has owned.
When this is consummated the presi-
dent of the CONSOLIDATED company viii
be a greater figure than the Mayor and
his board Of directors will overshhadow
Councils and make their work useless.
The present mayor earned much
praise about a year ago by insisting
on keeping the tax rate down. AS a
result OF this there is not sufficient
revenue, and that is urged as an OK
cuse for selling the water plant. There
are peculiar ways Of doing things, but
I'm the end everything is explained; but
the city. nevertheless finds itself shorn
of its franchises, and companies which
secure thens pile up millions. This is

CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS.

VATE DON'T think the Democrats
w will make much capital out of
their attack on Chairman Cortelyou. 1t
occurs to us that a presidential candl-
date might have discovered some
broader and more vital issue IN his
first address delivered away from
home, than an attack Of this nature.
1t also seems that the poverty of DEM
oeratie campaign material has been
pretty thoroughly demonstrated.
Judge Parker and his fellow Demo-
Gratis want Mr.. Cortelyou to be oblig-
ing They think he should open his
books and let them scan his campaign
contributions. But since Mr.. Cortelyou
shows no Willingness to oblige them. he
is the object of their denunciations;
and thus they are given some issue on
which TO continue their campaign for
another week
Mr.. Cortelyou, wisely we think. has
decided TO let the animals rave: no is
very busy with the actual work Of tbo
campaign, and does not propose 10 no
diverted. But a few facts reeardine
the contributions to the funds of this
campaign are so well understood that
no attempt at secrecy is necessary.
But. by the way since Democrats
are so eager for the publication Of
campaign contributions, why should
they not first call on Chairman Tag
gart for his list and thus set an
example that the Republicans might
feel Obliged TO follow? Is It becaus,
Mr.. Taggart has received no contrlbu
tions, or are we TO infer that 10 pu
lup for the election Of Parker is an ac
of patriotism?
However that may be regarded her,
are certain facts pretty generally un.
derstood: That many corporations ar,
accustomed TO contribute am equa
amount TO both parties. and have don,
SO this year. Others have contributed
20 the Republican fund because the,
believe that the maintenance Of the

interests In which they are engaged
depends upon reasonable amount Of
protection. And others, still. out Of
hatred for Roosevelt, because Of the
Northern Securities case, his Coal Strike
Commission and Ike acts, have given
their sole contribution 10 MI Taggart

generosity lmpelled them IN the direc-

AFrER THE NEGRO.

MAYHEM Josiah Marvel at meeting
w Of the Democratic League one
night last January outlined the Dcmo-
cratic purpose to abridge the rights Of
the negroes OF this State he was
speaking By the card. II was cor
rect statement OF Democratic policy.
The only mistake made by Mr.. Marvel
was that it was not intended that the
plan should be divulged.
But it is difacult to keep such sec
rets from leaking out. During this
campaign up tin the last few days. the
Democrats have kept silent regarding
their purpose TO abridge the rights OF
the negroes. But IN Sunday paper
the story comes out 1t is the whites
against the blacks Jim Grow cars and
negro Acknowledgement.
Is this the Democratic honesty that
the enemy has prated about? Is this
IN evidence OF their right to governg
Does il not show that Il is their pur-
pose to enact into law measures be-
side which the old assessment and coll
lection laws look vlrtuous?
But it is said that the negroes are
getting troublesome. Well there are
remedies. II negroes steal the sam,
law which sends the white thief TO jai
can care for them. If they make
nuisance Of themselves In the countr!
towns surely there is law to cove
their cases.
Now an honest man. like an homes
party win keep in mind, not only th'
bad negroes, but the decent law-abid-
ing men Of that race The question is
shall they be punished individually foi
individual misdeeds. or en- masse? Is
race to be put under the ban for the
sins of few?
When the Democratic party is ready
to urge legislation looking to the bet.
