Everywhere haste mars ort among

Simply because the architect has hur-

THE BOSTON ELECTION.

Strange to say. Boston has decided
for Fitzgerald for Mayor. That is
what the returns show. The election,
1t is said, will be contested, and If it
is, 1t Is probable that the methods by
which the result was obtained will be
made known. and that should be of in
terest everywhere where crafty polite
ians are graphing with the people for
control of offices and public funds. In
the meantime 1t Is matter of surprise
to learn that Fitzgerald got enough
votes to claim the victory
There were four candidates, though
the real struggle was limited to two.
Storrow is a banker and had the sup
port of the reform element of the city.
Fitzgerald has held office as mayor
man of the Tammany type. Hibbard,
the present mayor, and Taylor were
the other candidates. 1t is a peculiar
fact that Fitzgerald won, although
every influential newspaper in the city
was against him, and although some
OF his associates on the councilmanic
ticket were not men to inspire conf
dence. as may be judged from the fol-
lowing from the Boston Transcript of
Jan. 4:

THE DEFICIT.

Ever since the so-called American
administration obtained control Of the
city's finances the yearly deficit mas
been permanent feature IL Is
now. It appears, not less than Sz66'-
OIL 80. and probably much more. II the
full truth were known. But by means
of leaving out of the statement all
reference to the outstanding warrants
it is made to appear that there is
surplus of seventy-seven thousand dol
lars instead of deficit OF nearly Sooo,-
600 And this is to begin the year
with.
How long Is this financial misman-
agement to continue? In July, 190S,
we pointed out that the City. accord
ing to a belated report by the gentle
man who draws pay as an auditor
was owing $4,000 to a bank which
could call for the amount at any time,

to have plenty of American" voters

as 1t has hitherto.
We expect an appeal to the tax-pay

other. but in reality to cover up the
hole in the treasury. But will the
voters consent to being hoodwinked in

A GOOD MOVE.
course

The board OF education has adopted
the following resolution;
Resolved. That the superintendent
of schools be. and he is hereby author
lied and instructed TO organize In the
Twelfth school building a special class
for children who need individual in
struction, and to provide the necessary
instruction and equipment for such
class"
The move that the resolution will
inaugurate is a good one and should
have been made long ago, II in the
public and other schools there was
more individual instruction for the
brightest as we'll as the most backward
class, it would be better all around for
the pupils, Pupils should be made
self-reliant in getting their lessons but
the desired self-reliance will be most
readily attained by individual instruc-
ton to each pupil as needed. In our
school system there Is too much hear
Ing of lessons and not enough teaching

Perhaps the most popular lecturer
that this country has ever produced.
Henry Ward Beecher almost Invari-
ably delivered his lectures to houses
jammed to the doors, and the manner
in which he fascinated and played on
even hostile audiences seemingly at
will has become historic. But how
many persons who have vivid personal
recollections of this great pulpit and
lecture platform orator know of the
event in his life which marked the be-
ginning of the end of his powers of
eloquence?
In the spring of 1886 happened to be
in st. Louis at the time that Mr.
Beecher was to deliver his famous lee
ture on evolution-the last lecture he
prepared for his winter course. and
one which he had delivered with great
effect in several eastern cities. Much
unrest and excitement prevailed In st.
Louis on account Of the great Missouri
Pacific strike which was then at its
height But the coming of Mr.. Beech
er served to divert the attention of the
community from that intense struggle.
Mr.. Beecher, who was then 73, was
to deliver the lecture. whose fame had
preceded him to the city. in the great
exposition building. capable of holding
several thousand persons. I had seen
him at the hotel on the afternoon of
the lecture, and observed that he SEEM
ed to lack his accustomed sprightli-
ness. There were great circles under
his eyes; and usually of a ruddy COM
plexion, he was on that day very pale.
Yet when he faced the magnificent
audience which had assembled with
such great expectation to hear him, he
seemed to have received the very
stimulus which called forth the best
powers of eloquence. He began with
all his old time mastery of delivery.
