 What's the matter with the Boston Americans?"

CIURE's Lincoln Steffens, who in a
preceding article has described the
fascinating work of this man, tells
the story of "the opposition" This
is a story for every mother and

ponder over. Judge Lindsey has
to fight the machine; but he has
also to encounter the prejudice and
antagonism of fool" fathers and
incompetent mothers "who haven t
enough love for children to under
stand them, nor enough character
to hold their respect" The ac-
count of Judge Lindsey's work with

The last days of the Great Eastern
were certainly sad, considering the pur-
pose for which she was designed and
the great work she did in cable laying.
For some time before she was broken
up on the mud of the river Mersey,
near Liverpool, she was-on view as a
show ship. One firm of Liverpool
clothiers hired her for a season, and in
addition to using her for its advertising
purposes made use of her for catchpen-
ny shows. In the large cable tank q
circus was fitted up and performances
given at so much a head, while other
exhibitions of the Coney Island type
were spread all over her deck.

Returns from most of the states east |
of the Mississippi River indicate the
reelection of Republican House of
Representatives by a sweeping ma
jority and an increase in the Republi-
can strength in the United States
Senate. 1t twas to be expected that
the abnormal Republican plurality in
the present House-114-would be re-
duced. But Democratic gains were
scattering, and no signs developed
anywhere of a positive reaction against
Republican policies The record of
the administration was the issue in
practically every state except New
York and Massachusetts,, and that
record was handsomely vindicated.
The Republican majority in the lower
branch of Congress will probably be-
between sixty-hve and seventy fve
