PARTY LINES RIDDEN DOWN.

There was some ruthless disregard Of
party lines in the Boston mayoralty cleo
tion Of Tuesday, BY virtue Of which
George A., Hubbard, Republican and,
by the way, none too strong candi.
date, was elected over Mayor Fitzgerald
IN normally Democratic stronghold.
There arc 10000 Democratic voters in
the city Of Boston, and Fitzgerald re.
ceiyed only 10000 Of them, hardly more
than half. The balance of those Demo-
Gratis who voted at all threw their
strength away from the Fitzgerald re-
gime, probably largely in favor Of John
A. Coulthurst, who by reason Of his
former connection with the Democratic
party as 4 member Of the state commit
tee rallied quite sizeable support In
spite q the fact that, like Moran re-
Gently, he was, with a single exception,
destitute Of journalistic support. Of
course, quite bit Of the normal Demo
cratic vote went for Hubbard, al the sue
cessful candidate polled considerably
more than the usual Republican strength.
But figure it as You will, it all ends
UP az d direct snub to the Fitzgerald
tribe, with which Boston had become
sick and tired, The arrant arrogance Of
the mayor and his palpable rough-shod
riding finally became insurmountable OBJ
stacles to his further political suprem
acy. Whether or not there is any truth
to the charges, yelled and open, that have
been made against him in the conduct
Of the affairs Of the mayoralty, they
IRE 80 serious that, to be self-respecting,
oston cannot let them pass without
estigation.

vERMoNT's SWEETNESS BETTER
KNOWN.

There was one thing representing Yer.
mont at the late jamestown exposition
in which We as Vermonters can take
pride; and in doing so we should not
forget to congratulate the Vermont ma
pie sugar exhibitors, particularly A. J.
Croft, who made the display Of the
states sweetness so attractive and pc.
euniarily beneficial without doubt, the
reputation of Vermont maple sugar. al.
ways good, has been spread widely in a
section which ordinarily would scarcely
ever be reached Next spring and sue.
ceeding springs, vermonters, by reason
OF the showing made at jamestown,
should find il to their advantage to let
no chance lapse to swell the output of
the fruit Of the maple. We shall be
surprised if there is not largely in.
creased demand for the product.
