Elections in Massa cilusetts.
After the most exciting and acri-
monious campaign in years, the city
Of Boston yesterday overturned Fitz-
geraIdism, and elected as mayor
George A. Hibbard, postmaster Of
that city for the past eight years.
It was 4 three .cornered fight-Fitz-
gerald, democrat, struggling for re-
election; Coulthurst, independence
league, and Hubbard, republican.
Nominally the victory was a republi-
can one; actually it was triumph Of
non partizanship and a protest
against mismanagement and corrup-
ton in local affairs.
The entire vote for Coulthnrst and
q considerable percentage Of the vote
for Hibbard were drawn from the
normal democratic strength Of Bos-
ton. Mr.. Hubbard went into the fght
openly promising, il elected, q nom
partizan administration. A majority
OF Boston's voters threw party lines
to the winds, took him at his word,
and elected him.
And thus is Boston added to the
constantly growing list of large cities
which are declaring for non-partizan-

King Oscar of Sweden, who has
many times been called ''the ablest
ruler OF the eighteenth century,, died
Sunday, aged nearly seventy nine
years. King Oscar had long been one
of the most interesting figures of
European royalty. His truly demo-
cratic habits made him idolized by his
subjects, who regarded him more as a
father than a monarch. With the
death of King Oscar the succession to
the throne has passed to Oscar Gustaf
Adolph, the oldest son OF the late
king. At a meeting of the council of
state Sunday afternoon, the new king
took the oath of allegiance under the

Harbor Improvement at Bucksport.
Major George A. linn, of the war de-
partment, who has had charge of the
river and harbor improvements in eastern
Maine, in his official report says OF the
work at Bucksport:
Before improvement the bed Of the river on
the east side in front of the wharves Of
Bucksport was obstructed by deposit of
sawdust and mud, having a minimum depth
of about four feet at mean low tide.
Under appropriations aggregating s16,5O0,
this obstructing shoaf, locally known as the
Middle Ground was dredged between 1875 and
1878, under the general project for improving
Penobscot river, to depth of twelve feet at
mean low tide over that portion Of its area
lying Immediately in front OF the wharyes,
and TO depth OF eight feet over the re-
mainder.
The existing project is based upon a report
of survey printed in the annual report OF
the chief of engineers for 1900, and was
adopted by the at of June Is. 1902. It-pro-
vides for removing Middle Ground, which
has again shoaled, to depth Of sixteen feet
at mean low tide, at an estimated cost Of
$4,000
The expenditures under existing project to
close Of fiscal year ending June 50, 1907, have
been sls,7oo. The improvement was COM
pletedin 1908.
As there are large sawdust and mud bars
above this point, which are set in motion in
times Of freshet, it is expected that the area
dredged at Bucksport will slowly fill again in
course Of years. The improvement should
therefore not be regarded as entirely per-
m8uS0y.

"He's a Brick"

The expression, "He'sa brick" is traced
back to Lycurgus, King Of Sparta. The
king was conducting an ambassador from
Epirus through his kindom. The envoy
was much amazed 70 find that the cities
were very poorly supplied with walls Of
defence. He remarked to the king:
s'Sire, have now visited most OF the
towns, but found no walls built for their
defence. Why is this?'
'Indeed, !" replied the king, ''thou canst
not have looked carefully. Come with me
Tomorrow and will show you the walls
of Sparta"
Accordingly on the following morning
the king had his army drawn up in battle
array, and pointing proudly to the serried
host, said: "There thou beholdest the

The work on the breakwater at Bar
Harbor, which has closed for the season,
has advanced to the point that it is con-
siderably more than half way to the shore.
About half Of the total work Of construc-
ton is done. This fall the builders have
been working in the deepest part Of the
passage, necessitating much heavier con-
struction than on the other parts, and a
correspondingly large amount Of stone,
which has been brought from 6tonington
by lighters. The bottom Of the break-
water in the deepest part is $50 feet wide,
narrowing towards the top. The break
water is now at q point about 600 feet from
shore, and has cost something like s200, 900.
1t is estimated that about as much more
will be required to finish the work. The
first work was done in 1889, and it has been
continued at intervals since, as from time
to time appropriations were granted by
Congress.

business which members OF Congress have

tanning what could be done to further

Railroad men who are in a position
to know have cautiously advanced
some such theory as this. They do not
dare to expose the malign intelIigence
which animates their monstrous crea-
tions. because it may turn upon them
and rend them. But they have told
the interstate commerce commission
enough to justify an investigation into
the real inwardness of raiIroadinr. IT
will be remembered that Mr.. Paul
Morton advanced this theory when it
was charged that he had authorized
the rebates made by the Santa Fe to
the Colorado Fuel & Iron company.
Mr.. Morton showed to the satisfaction
of the president that he had given or

railroad went right ahead and granted
rebates. The federal judge who tried
the case accordingly punished the Of
