QUICKLY 0UsTED

Boston, Aug. 9.-Following their insist
ence upon the discharge OF Superintendent
James +. English OF the city almshouse
at Long Island Mayor Fitzgerald today
requested the resignation OF the seven
members OF the board OF trustees OF the
Pauper Institution department.
The mayor stated that unless the MEM
bers resigned he would remove them from
office. He based his action upon the
ground that the trustees have failed TO
cooperate with the mayors office In the
maintenance OF discipline at the aims
house and in working for the city's best
good.
Only one OF the trustees Dr. William j.
Sullivan, compiled with the request OF
the mayor and later the mayor removed
the remaining six members OF the board.
The trustees voted TO discharge Super
intendent English. as lacking in disciplin-
airy power, and they refused TO meet

of the case. The mayor believes that Su-
perintendent English should be given a
hearing.

many maimings and other personal injuries
There were fires and other disasters. Ihere
was some annoyance from brutal noises and
vile smells. But the general testimony Of OBJ
servers is that these evils were decidedly less
than they were year ago, or than they have
been for many years past Throughout the
greater part OF the city, indeed, the day was
quiet, orderly and comfortable.
The credit for this agreeable achievement is
probably 10 be divided Some Of IL is due TO

time when the fireworks plague has been

seems 10 be due 10 General Bingham and his
recent orders TO the police. Those salutary or
ders were not universally enforced; there was
some of fireworks before the Fourth. and
there was some use of forbidden devices on
the Fourth itself. But, the whole, the or
ders were doubtless productive of much good.

activity in enforcing the law, and the fear of
such activity doubtless restrained many from

we cannot help thinking is beginning TO realize
the folly. the brutality and the actual wicked
ness OF making our national anniversary an
orgy Of noise. stencil, fires. maimings and death.
II is true, there was a larger sale. and there
fore greater use, Of fireworks this year than
ever before but it must be that they were
chiefly of the kinds which not offensive to
any sense but are conspicuously beautiful to
the sight. and the use OF which is as legiti-
mate and as cOmmendable as that OF flags or
flowers or other decorative objects. 1t is high
time for the American public TO adopt more
rational and humane method Of celebration than
that which has hitherto so largely prevailed, and
if yesterdays quiet Fourth in this city was
indeed an earnest of the working of such n
change it is 10 be regarded with profound graft

ff Congress could be persuaded that their as

But Congress could not be persuaded to take

Union-four- -dfths Of them greatly surprising

chances should be taken as would be involved
in admitting Arizona by itself The small
states have now a disprcportionate power in

was wisely held that more exacting standard
