From the organization of the State until the year 1850, and after, each town, as a corporation, was represented in the Legislature.
It was an unequal system of representation, but it individualized the towns and it gave to them a degree of dignity, which, to the sentimentalist, was full compensation for the apparent injustice that thus was tolerated. The system, however, could not withstand the doetrines of human equality that, in this nineteenth century, are changing some governments and overturning others. Under the town system every man ean act directly upon every question of local publie coneerns. As a eitizen he ean have ,a judgment, and he has a right to an opinion and an opportunity to declare his opinion upon the highway, the school, and the publie expenses generally. The citizen became a legislator, and in no mean manner he was thus qualified for the work of legislation upon a larger theatre.
Coineident with the loss of representative power by the towns, is the fact that they put aside or neglect their opportunities for the full exereise of the power which remains.
Where several small towns are formed into a single distriet, the selection of the representative passes from town to town, year by year, and thus the sparsely settled parts of the State are represented constantly, and generally by untrained men. Under the representative system, States and nations are governed by committees, or, in other words, laws are the results of confer- ences, concessions, compromises ; and the committees that are charged with the work are composed, usually, of experienced men. Thus it is that the towns negleet the use of a very important part of the power that remains in their hands.
Henceforth Massachusetts is to be a commonwealth of eities. Its metro- politan tendeneies may be modified by the opinions and traditions of the rural districts, but in any contest over polieies the eities, when united, are sure to win vietories. Without admitting the truth of Mr. Jefferson's apothegm, that "cities are sores on the body politic," we are forced to recognize the histori- cal faet, that the decadence of great eities has marked the fall of states and the ruin of empires. On the pages of history, Assyria and Babylon are one, and the city of Rome was the vital foree that inspired and controlled the Republic and the Empire.
In our own time, Paris has given law to France. There is much reason, however, to believe that in these particulars history cannot repeat itself. There is somewhat of seeurity in the extension of the right of suffrage, and in the representative system of government. Paris is France no longer, and in the recent election the city of London divided upon a great question of publie policy.
Again, in large cities there must be a variety of industries, and from a variety of industries there must come a diversity of interests and opinions as to publie policies.

OF THE TOWN OF GLOUCESTER, MASS.
There is security, also, in the multiplicity of cities. Boston dates from 1824, and in the intervening period eight and twenty cities have been created. In two decades, Massachusetts, with continuing prosperity, will have become, in the number of its cities, the rival of the Union in the number of its States. For States a grave if not the great question of the future is the government of cities.
It is to be said, finally, that the chief security of towns, of States, of nations, is in a system of universal compulsory education ; a system to be created by the State, to be controlled by the State as a whole, or through the agency of its component parts, and that without partnership, compro- mise, or arrangement with any organization or body of men, either civil or ecclesiastical.
The education which the State is authorized to furnish, and the only education which an American State can tolerate, is an education designed to fit men and women for "the life that now is." The State cannot consider the Beyond, and therefore in a system of State education, there is no place for the church as a church, but always a place for the members of the church as citizens of the State.
The time may come, and it ought not to be far distant, when the ele- ments of education and all the sciences will be taught in the English language only, and so taught in all the schools of the country, whether private or public.
Unity in language is evidence of unity of race, but in the United States there should be uniformity of language as the indication of identity of purpose in national life. We are, and we shall continue to be, the great English- speaking nation, and our language is destined to be the language of commerce, of science, and of diplomacy for this continent, and probably for the western world.
And now, Mr. President, in behalf of your guests, I thank you for your generous hospitality and for the opportunity you have given us to observe the condition of your city, at once vigorous in its age, with the confidence of youth as to its future.
TENTH TOAST : - "The Ladies."
""'Woman' must ever be a woman's highest name, and honors more than Lady, if I know right."
Hon. Charles Levi Woodbury, of Boston, responded briefly, alluding to his being related to many old-time Gloucester families, and wittily said that being a bachelor was the reason of his being called to speak to this toast. His remarks brought forth shouts of laughter at his sallies of wit, and bursts of applause at his eloquent tribute to the women of Gloucester. Owing to the lateness of the hour, many of the toasts had to be omitted, much to the regret of those present.
"To the Judiciary," Hon. Albert Mason, of Brookline, Chief Jus- tice, Massachusetts Superior Court, was to speak; "To the Press,"

MORNING. GRAND MILITARY, CIVIC, AND TRADES PARADE. AFTERNOON. MAYOR'S LUNCHEON, CITY HALL. EVENING. ANNIVERSARY RECEPTION AND BALL.
MILITARY, CIVIC, AND TRADES PARADE.
T THURSDAY was given over to the great military, civic, and trades procession. It was the culmination of the events of Anniver- sary week. Gloucester had had many parades. Her Fourth of July processions were noted ones in Massachusetts. But Gloucester never saw so extensive, so diversified, and so well managed a parade before. Indeed, few cities in this country, and those only the largest, have ever seen such a display. The day opened somewhat dull and overcast, with signs of rain ; but nothing could dampen the enthusiasm of the people. At sunrise, everyone was astir, and by seven o'clock crowds began to pour into town from every direction. More elaborate touches were given to the decorations, until the streets seemed one mass of flags and bunting. The sound of music, the tramp of marching feet, the ringing of the bells, and the booming of the cannon from the shore and from the white ships riding at anchor in the harbor, all told that the climax of the festivities was at hand. Train after train rolled into the station, bringing those who were to take part in the procession or to witness the parade as spectators. With all the crowds and con- sequent confusion, it would have seemed impossible to get order out of chaos, but for the excellent management of the executive officers. A conservative estimate of the strangers present places the number at sixty thousand people, and had the railroad accommodations been the best, thousands upon thousands more would have come. The streets through which the procession moved were one mass of people. On Main Street, from sidewalk to roof, every point was taken advantage of. And what marching ! The marines and sailors, the militia and the fraternal orders, vied with each other, and were greeted with salvos of applause. The prominent guests all received a royal welcome, and the historical tableaux and school children can never be forgotten by those privileged to see them. The passing in review on Dale Avenue, before the chief. marshal and the executive committee, was a hand- some tribute to those who for nearly two years had worked early and late that the anniversary should redound to the credit of dear old Gloucester. To all, the day now is only a memory, but as long as life lasts it will remain the most brilliant spectacle those present have ever been privileged to see.

TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY
In detail the order of mareh and make-up of the procession was as follows : -
The headquarters of the chief marshal up to the time of moving was at City Hall, where he was kept busy giving orders and attending to the various duties devolving upon him. The right of line was on Prospeet Street at the head of Dale Avenue. The first division was formed on Prospeet Street, right on Dale Avenue, the second on Elm Street, right on Prospect Street, the third on Pleasant Street, right on Prospect Street, the fourth on Park Street, right on Prospect Street, the fifth on Dale Avenue, right on Prospeet Street, the sixth on Mason Street, right on Prospeet Street, and the seventh on Maplewood Avenue, right on Prospect Street. It was estimated that there were seventy-five hundred men in line, with more than thirty bands of musie in addition to the numerous drum corps. Promptly at 10.30 o'clock the fire alarm sounded the signal for starting and the parade was on. In spite of slight and vexatious rain, the lines were kept intaet and every- one remained until they had passed in review before the grand stand. The route of the procession was through Prospect, Foster, Granite, Washington, Middle streets and Western Avenue to Bond Street, counter- marching to Main, through Main to Eastern Avenue, Friend, Prospect, Pleasant, Middle streets and Dale Avenue, passing in review at the High School-house, thenee Prospeet, Mason, Sehool and Middle streets to the areh at Town Hall Square, where they were dismissed.
