SHOCKING ACCIDENT.
Five Boys Swept from a Train and Killed

Five Boys Swept from Train and Killed
LOWELL, Mass, Aug. pa shocking acct
d&nt occurred on the Lowell & Lawrence Pail
~, ad Saturday night, by which five youths of
Us city lost their lives. A Caledonian picnic
the town OF Andover where these Young men
had been participating. Either for lack of
money or for sport they contrived to Chamber
on top OF passenger car in the train which
left Lawrence at 7.30 p. m. When the train
reached Sprague's bridge, two miles
from this city, in the town of Tewksbury, all
five men We're swept off and killed. At the
time it was only known that one had met death
in this manner. This was John Shinnick. rs
years old, residing at 80 Winter street. He
was thrown down between the cars on the
platform where the conductor found him. He
lived twenty minutes, but was unconscious
The body was brought here and identified.
Some time later the trackmen found the
bodies of the others lying in the bitches, three
on one side of the track and one on the other.
A freight train was sent from here and brought
them i'll about midnight. They were William
Maher, Is years old; John Mcnamara, aged
10; Timothy Nolan, aged II; Patrick Ryan,
aged 10. There is aspace of twenty-five inches
between the cars and the bridge, therefore it is
conjectured that the lads were sitting up when
struck. Probably all but Shinnick died al
most instantly, as their wounds on the head
and back were terrible. The undertaker's
rooms where the bodies lie have been thronged

If there has been such time, when was it?
Certainly it was not in 1884, when the Demo-
cratic party was insisting that the South should
be reinstated in the Union with all former
powers and privileges, and without new guar
rantees of security. 1t was not in 1868, when
the Democratic party was declaring that the
reconstruction acts were revolutionary and
void. 1t was not in 1872 for whatever may
have been thought of Greeley's honesty, it is
plain enough now that it would have been
monstrous mistake to have given the govern
ment into the control of the party behind him.
The insincerity of their professions of fidelity
to the rights of the negroes has been abund-
autly demonstrated since. Not in 1876, when
great effort was made to produce the impress
sion that the war issues were outworn,
sor the extra session, and the conduct
of the South since President Hayes
removed every semblance or appearance of
military interference, have shown that the
Democratic party had not abandoned, but was
only concealing its reactionary purpose.
Has the time now come for the Republican
party to cease reminding the nation of the po-
litical lessons of the war? Much as we might
on some accounts wish to believe it, the South.
which is the guiding force of the Democratic
party will not permit any abatement of zeal to
preserve the fruits of the war, embodied in the
Constitution and in statutes. Until the South
quits its reactionary attitude, turns its face to
the future and consents to take up new issues,
the North cannot do SO without faithlessness.
While the Democratic party insists upon
fighting against the power of the nation to en-
force the Constitutional guarantees, the Re-
publican party cannot do otherwise than main
tain that power. In the nature of things that
is the paramount issue, and will be until the
national sovereignty is everywhere acknowl-
edged. Meantime it is not the Republican
party's fault that other questions are not more
prominent As long as Southern orators and
newspapers rally the solid South by the MEM
cries of the war, it must be permitted to those
who fought for the Union to recall the strug-
gle and the duties it imposed. 1t is not fit that
patriotism should be ashamed while treason is
boasting itself.
In the view of the ruling section of the
Democratic party there is but one issue in the
pending election. The South cares but for
one. Witness this declaration of one of the
most liberal of its journals, the Charleston
News and Courier;
"The Democracy do not appeal to the people to
elect their candidate because they hold particular
opinions concerning the currency, OF the tariff,
pubic improvements, national banks or land grants
| but because the policy declared and praetced by
| the Republican party will insensibly change the
whole structure of our government by subordinat-
ing the States in their sphere OF action to the
supervision and revision of the national govern
ment and because. furthermore, the Republican
party opposes and prevents that true reconciliation
and lasting renion with which the United States
| cannot be and rem alma true republic
