THE LATEST NEW YORK TRA0.


"Domcstic trouble" was the cause Of the
recent murder In Now York city; atrag-
sdy In which boy nineteen years Of age
shot his father, burying four bullets In his
person. Tho telegraph gives tho details
Of the unhappy affair with brief distinct
ness. Frank II. Walworth went to Now
York on Monday last, and took mp his
quarters at tho SturtcvAnt house. From
there he wrote note TO his father, sepa.
rated from his mother and himself by fam.
| lily difficulties, asking 40 interview. On
Tuesday morning about six o'clock the
elder Walworth won't TO the S.urtcvani
house and was shown 20 tho room OF his
son. Their Interview lasted about quar-
tor Of an hour, and was brought to close
by tho son shooting the father dead. The
| psrricide, scarcely moro than boy in
years, exhibited remarkable GOODNESS. In
stead of ondeavorlng to escape, no went TO
. telegraph office and sent dispatch toll
lug what he had done, TO an unclo in Chi
cago aud then went TO tho nearest po-
lice station and gave himself up.
Through it all he showed signs noithor OF
sorrow nor trepidation, and said ho regret
ted the fact only because of the distress II
would occasion his mother and family
Tho tragedy, though terrible, is not an
uncommon ono. 1t Is the o d story Of Q
family quarrel, coldness and ostrangemcnt
ending IN bloodshed. While al
the frailties of human nature en-.
durc, no panscea can DO offered as pre-
ventive or n cure for family broils
Whether they arc to end in the murder o
ono or more, on either side. however, Is,
question which the law has fair right y
consider and decide. They havcso termin
ated and continue 10 terminate in too man
cases, and the cool deliberateness OF youn
Walworth in the murder OF his father an
his subsequent actions, prove that he hs
barely committed the deed when hc bega
TO count on tho clcmency of the law. II
yielded himself to the officers Of justic
with the air of q man who had commute
q meritorious decd, and who felt that !
that course lay greater personal sAfet
than In an attempt to escape them.
The whole affair Is q striking comments
~ on the iooscness Of public opinion and
marked evidence that reform must tai
place. Murder grows more common @
cry day. Tho case Of young Walworth
one Of many and has only . few dist
-. gushing features. If these shall omit
:, it, porpetrstor to lenicncy, II will not lo'
:, DO an isolated case. There Is but ono wa
not to prevent tho recurrence of like q
, fairs, but to mako them far loss frequent
IL 10 that the arm of the law shall indec
: be stern and visit Ito punishment ON u
head of the offender. The contrary cours
IL the virtual acknowledgement that on
portion of society must consent to
proved upon by an other which is as full I
tho faults Of humanity as itsolf, and ca
! only claim superiority in excess Of br
vado.

Why don't tho mayor double, triple
and qusdrupls the force Of workman on
the stroct2 This 10 tho second question Of
the sun
We don't bclievo the mayor has any
right to add ono man 10 the city's work
men without express authority from the
council, and we don't believe such au.hori.
~ has been given Mayor Wood BY any
ordinance Of this city. But II he had att
thority, he cannot get the workmen. Tho
council has authorized tho street commit.
tee 10 employ six additional hands. Tho
committee cannot get one, and 10 In dan
ger of losing all IL has. Lsborers will not
| work for tho city and take city orders in
payment Of their labor, whom orders arc
quoted a. 20 cents on the dollar and not
salablo At any price.
why don't the mayor appoint NUM-
Der of physicians as an extraordinary
board of health, and authorize them to
prescribe the necessary sanitary rogula-
lstions ? This is tho third question Of the
Sun
The mayor has no authority 10 appoint
such n health board, and the regulations
prescribed by number or oil Of our ply.
sicians would have no moro binding force
than Q Sum editorial, even though the
rules should be called BY thousand time'
stronger name than sanitary rsgula
tons"
Why does not the mayor forbid thssal'
of sinking vegetables in Cairo This Il
another of the questions Of tho Sun
The ordinances already forbid the salt
Of such vegetable. Mono such, 30 far NJ
tho mayor and policemen know, are solo
in Cairo. If tho Sun editor is bette
posted than the mayor and police force
why don't he report to the mayor An'
policemen the namo Of tho vegetabl
dealer who Is guilty OF the ofisnse? Ifh
will do so, we assure him that in five mir
utcs after he makes the report, the vegeta
bis dcalor will DO brought before the polio
court and shortly after he shall be fine
for the ofrensc, IL the testimony Of the In
. former is worth anything in tho estims
ton of Bross or Bird.
| While We have been constrained 70 So
this much in defense Of the mayor, W
must also say that he and his police fore
should not be any less active than the
{ are, and q little spirit Of greater energ
\ than they have exhibited would not prol
o ably take any Of the ilosh of their bone
: We may further add, that the counc
y should take action in reference 10 the san
& tary condition Of tho cit
d And We may also remark th
d tho citizens should not wait until u
n mayor or health ofiicor calls upon them ar
o orders them to DO eleanly. 1t IL their du

IN pEFENsE OF THE MAYOR.

Be II known, At the outset, that this is
In defense Of Mayor Wood, that It IL re.
pulsion of the charges msdo upon his
honor by the light dragon of tho sun
last Thursday evening.
After declaring that the cholera is in
Memphis, aud insinuatlng that Is also in
Cairo, the sun in nburst ofindigna,ion,
exclaims
Why don't his honor, the mayor, from
whom We had reason to expect prompt
action In such an emergency, show that
no regards tho lives Of the people commit
tod to his care more than their feelings !;
double, triple, aud quadruple, II need DO,
the force OF workmen on the Streets
Why don't he empty competent
physicians to 20 through this city, and as
an Extraordinary health board, prescribe
necessary sanitary regulations, and then lot
him see that these regulations are OBJ
served. Why 10 1t that sinking vegeta-
bles are allowed TO bs disposed of Why
10 Il that be does not forbid their sale in
this city at all lie has the power to do
all these things, aud we ask him in the
namo Of health to take hold of this mat
ter ~ II no meant business.
Why don't the mayor show that no re-
CARDS the lives Of the people committed TO
his care more than their feelings? First
question by the Sun.
We never knew before that the lives Of
the people had been committed to Mayor
Woods care. In which section of the
charter or in which ordinance is this great
responsibility imposed upon tho mayor
10 IL the mayors duty to visit each citizen
and compel him to keep himself and his
premises clean-to soc that no citizen eat,
anything that may invite sickness The
citize:s do not elect mayor to be health
officer. II 10, we do not forget, his duty &c
act with the board Of health and look after
the sanitary condition Of the city. In tn,
performance Of duty, the health board snt
council must prescribe general sanitary
rules and publish them. When infringe
msnts Of thess rules como under the may.
or's observation, he should see to It tha
the parties guilty are punished; but hs
cannot, and the police cannot pre-,
vent infringsmsnh Of the health
rules, do what they may. It 1t as mucl

AREaWE THE MAYORS ORGAN
PLAYER?

We are not Mayor Woods keeper. We
are not his apologlst. We owo him moth
ing--not even good will. In fact, it has
been our delight to indulge in holding up
his shortcomings TO tho condemnation Of
our people. But, though WEI have reason
to complain Of him, we have the honesty
to treat him as We endsavor TO treat every
body--fAirly. We know that certain clti'
zens who do not like Wood are just now
abusing him as an officer, calling him .
distinguished failure and declaring that he
10 very small potato in very small hill.
We know, too, that contradiction Of
these assertions Anglers many Of our friends
aud makes them curse like soldiers. And,
truth 10 tell, we believe Mayor Wood
might, in somo things, be improved upon.
Who could not DO? But, TO get upon the
Lowell and down TO square talk, We desire
to bear our testimony to Mayor Woods
apparent desire to do all in bis power to
administer the affairs Of his Office faithfully
and without political or personal bias. He
10 diligent-vsry industrious, working by
night ~ we'll ~ by day.
Because We regard Mayor Woods sd.
ministration from this standpoint, we are
receiving abuse from many quarters, and
have been forced into the position Of bis
defender. Indeed, THE BULLETIN has
been called Woods organ but the Mayor
knows We would - soon attack as defend
him-thst we would not hesitate to dc
nounce any wrong action Of which HI
might bs guilty in his Official conduct. II
