SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Dec. l.-Gcorge Z.
Barr, proprietor OF the Hotel Warwick,
shot and killed his wife some time last
night, and then killed himself.
Both appear to have died instantly.
When they were married the wife had
considerable money, and as he was sup
posed to be not doing well in the hotel
business, and MS they were reported to
have had frequent rows because she
refused to furnish him money, it is sup
posed the murder was caused BY her
refusing to comply with his request for
funds. Barr has had the reputation OF
being fast man.

The only thing of interest In the result OF
the Kentucky election is the fact that large
part OF the persons chosen to the new legis-
lature are members of the Farmers Alliance.
That fact is of special Importance In this
case because the incoming legislature will
have to frame code of laws under the new
constitution, and because the Alliance will
be able by means of their majority to shape
those laws largely to their liking. What kind
of laws they will make remains to be seen,
but IL the laws the Kansas Alliance at
tempted to make are a criterion they will
not be Of kind that will please the average
Kentucky clti zen In the long run.

The Boston Herald and other alleged indie
pendent newspapers may argue until dooms-
day that the Republicans are no sounder on
the currency question than the Democrats,
but they cannot wink out of sight the fact
that 1t was almost entirely by Republican
votes that Tree silver coinage measure was
prevented from passing the last Congress.
Almost every Democrat In the Senate voted
for such measure, and the great majority
OF the Democrats in the House, while with
the Republicans the case was exactly re-
versed, the great majority of them In both
branches voting against free coinage. 1t is
also fact that of the three Democratic con-
yentiont held this year two declared squarely
for the free coinage of silver, while the other
lodged, yet recommended to the legislature
for return to the Senate Mr.. A. P. German,
who voted in the last Congress for free coin
age On the other hand no Republican con-
vention held this year has declared for the
Tree and unlimited coinage of silver. These
are facts, and they are worth great deal
more in determining the attitude of the two
parties toward the currency than any amount
OF fine spun theory or plausible argument.
The situation is very much as it was In III o
greenback era. There are Republicans who
are unsound ON the currency, as there were
then, there are Democrats who are sound.
as there were then, but the great majority of
the Republicans are sound and the great
majority Of the Democrats at, unsound.

Among the funny things seen by the Argu

In Buenos Ayres. This state of affairs,
which may be funny at this distance but GER
tainly Is not in the Argentine Republic,
comes about because everyone has lost con-
fdence In the ability of the Rupublic to make
its token currency interchangeable without
loss with the standard of value of the COM
mercial nations. which is gold. The Argen-
tine token currency therefore circulates at
about what is considered its intrinsic value,
which is about thirty cents. Yet the
Argus would have the government of this
country pursue policy that inevitably
would result in rendering impossible the
intefchangeability of our silver dollar with

value of its own far above the value of the

be nearly so much but it would be enough

Election Fraud .


The punishment of peri etrators of
election frauds is and always has been very
difficult in this country. Offenders must be
tried before juries, and there is very likely
to be one man on jury whose political pre-
JUDGES outweigh his candor. In the courts
of New Jersey at the present time are going
on series of proceedings that are on the
whole encouraging, although justice Is drag
ging along at a snail's pace. at the state
election OF 1889 In New Jersey most re-
markable election fraud was committed in
seventeen voting precincts of Jersey City,
whereby the actual results Of the voting
were reversed by wholesale stuffing of the
ballot boxes. Sixty-seven subordinate cleo
ton officers were involved In this fraud, SO
remarkable in northern state, although 1t
would be considered merely as matter of
course In southern state. The frauds
were exposed by an investigating committee
of the state senate, and Edward f. Nc
Donald, a Democratic senator who had been
the beneficiary Of the frauds, was unseated.
Then the grand jury indicted the sixty-seyen
election officers. and they were brought to
trial. Twenty-seven Of them have been con.
victed, three are serving out sentences of
nine and six months in the state peniten-
tiary, twenty lhaye been sentenced to
terms Of eighteen months each In the state
prison. but are at liberty on bail pending an
appeal, and one has died. There remain
forty indicted men to be tried yet. The In
dications are that the appeals in the cases of
those already convicted will fall, and that
ustice will be melted out in accordances
with the sentence. The chances would also
seem to be in favor Of the conviction of the
forty yet to be tried. 1t has taken two years
to bring these proceedings of justice SO far
In the New Jersey courts. This is exceed
ingly slow progress in the punishment of a
most heinous crime; but measured by the
success usually attending attempts to punish
election crimes, this progress may be con-
sidefed satisfactory 1t is true that one
feature OF the case Is not creGitable to our
Institutions, or rather to the popular sup
pOit oil our institutions. 1t is plain that
snose Sixty seven election officers would not
nave gone into these fraudulent proceedings
spontaneously and simultaneously in On
many inherent precincts. There mns+ have

The trouble over the color line In the
Grand Army posts in Mississippi and Louisi-
ana, was all made, and purposely too, by one
Jacob Gray. who commanded the Grand
Army departments of those two States.
Gray had promised that the Grand Army
posts should turn out at the funeral of jeff
Davis, but the members refused, and out of
spite Gray went to work and granted char
tiers TO nine negro posts. though previously
the granting Of such charters had been re-
fused, on the ground that as the Grand Army
was social organization Its department COM
manders had the power to refuse charters
when they thought best The result of
Gray's action was that soma 800 negroes be-
came members Of the Louisiana and Mis-.
sissippi posts. and overwhelmed the whites.
The white posts protested that the organiza-
tion Of these negro posts was illegal. and a
committee appointed by the national COM
mander to examine the facts also took that
view, and recommended that new muster
be made with thorough examination of the
negro applicants. Such as are found worthy
will probably be retained, but the negro
posts Will be erected into separate depart
ment probably, inasmuch as any other
course would prove the destruction of the
white Grand Army posts in the South.

The Albany Journal has discovered that
prohibition works apositive injury to pub
lie morals by making those who have been
appointed to enforce the law the accom-
plices of those whom they permit to break
it." The same charge can be made against
any law. The officer who permits law to
be broken always becomes the accomplish Of
the law-breaker, whether 1t be law against
rumselling or against larceny. 1t is not the
law that makes him the accomplice. but his
own violation Of the law. The fact that
thousands Of officers wink at the breaking of
the laws against lotteries appears to nobody
reason why lotteries should be tolerated by
the State. That kind of argument is re-
served alone for law against the selling Of
liquor. 1t is very poor kind of argument
But If 1t is good argument against prohi-
billion, is 1t not just as good against license?
