THE SPRINGFIELD TRAGEDY.

The terrible tragedy at Springfield
yesterday is another example of the evil
of possessing deadly weapons when
there is no good reason for having them
about. Mr.. George Z. Barr, who shot
his wife and then killed himself was not
a bad man and must have done the deed
in moment of sudden passion or per-
haps intoxication, although the dis
patches do not state that he was under
the influence of liquor. The shooting
of his wife, probably done in a moment
of unguarded frenzy, left him no alter
native but suicide.
Two families are plunged into the
lSeenest anguish and little children are
left fatherless and motherless, with a
terrible shadow upon their lives.
The ownership of pistols should be
guarded by law. Probably the pistol in
this case was never intended for any
evil purpose, but why should man in
peaceful city like Springfield carry such
a weapon about his person?

THE ELECTION.

There is heavy burden Of response
bility upon the city to-day. Providence
has been called upon to choose between
loyalty to tried, true and devoted pub
lie servant and an untried and inexperi-
enced man. Since morning the ballots
have been falling which insure to this
fair city continuance of the clean, hon
est and progressive administration
which has so materially increased its
prosperity and enhanced its reputation,
or which ON the other hand doom it to be
the victim of experimentation at the
hands of an amateur, the influences be-
hind whom are not such as to promise
any desirable issue to his bewildered at
tempts at municipal government.
1t is not supposable that, brought to
such a test, Providence can have hesi-
tated. The issue of the day depended,
and still depends, upon Republicans. If
you have not yet voted, do so within the
hour. If you neglect your duty and the
day is lost to good government or the
burden of third election is saddled
upon the backs of the taxpayers, you
will have failed most conspicuously to
act the part of an honorable citizen.
The time is now short. See TO it that
the NEWS bulletins are able to chroni-
Gle worthy Republican victory.

have made many sacrifices, and heroi-
cally devoted themselves without return
TO the good of the cause. The position
the club has now won as an organization
of singers unsurpassed in this country is
the direct result of that untiring effort,
and is a most satisfactory result, and one
which for the club constitutes its most
cherished reward
But reputation and painstaking work
will not entirely support club Of $50
members, and in point of public appre-
citation and support the club has not al
ways received what its merits deserved.
The public is very largely indebted to a
few generous private individuals whose
time and money has been unsparingly
given to the aid of the cause Of local mu-
sic and to them no small share Of the
praise is due. But the present season opens
more auspiciously; the concert will be of
the highest order and the NEWS bespeaks
for it that liberal patronage which
the character of the work and the unwav-
ering devotion of the members of the
club, so fully deserves.

ELECTIONS IN MASSACHUSETTS.

1t is not to be supposed that the re-
suits of the municipal elections in
Massachusetts, will cause the Democrats
TO abate one jot of their peculiar and IL
logical claim that the old Bay State has
joined the free trade and calamity ranks,
and yet the figures for the twelve cities
which voted yesterday have look
which is decidedly Republican.
Marlboro, Newton, Wobun, Quincy
and Pittsfeld elected Republican
mayors. Republicans control the board
of aldermen in Holyoke. In Chicopee
there was no contest, the parties uniting
on a mayoralty candidate, while the Re-
publicans elected four ont of seven
aldermen. In Maiden and Fitchburg
and New Bedford, citizens candidates
were elected, there being no party nomi-
nations. Northampton is the only city
where a Democratic victory is claimed,
and the recount which is asked may
possibly change the result there. Massa-
chusetts is still in the Republican col
ulnn.

powDERLY AND FREE SILVER.

Mr.. T. V. Powderly, the Master Me-
chanic of the Knights of Labor, has
come to the front as a political econom-
ist and contributes labored article to
North American Rerieic to prove that
free and unlimited coinage Of silver as
advocated by the more radical Southern
and Southwestern Democrats can in no
way interfere with the financial stand
of the United States. Mr.. Powderly
argues that no silver would OF could be
imported into this country except as ex-
change for American products exported,
and SO there could be no fear that the
market could be flooded with that metal.
He adds as further argument that
American silver dollars could not be used
in foreign countries as medium. of ex-
change, the practice of all countries
throughout the world being to use as
local coin only the output from their
own mints. These are his main points.
Mr.. Powderly's arguments are as fall
lacious as his management of the New
York Central strike was futile. The
silver dollar coined by the United States
to-day is intrinsically worth from to 12
per cent. less than gold dollar, and il
is held at that value only because wise
Republican Congress and wise Repub-
lican President decided that not more
than g., ,00O, 900 worth of silver should be
purchased i'm any one month for coinage
purposes. That it is considered worth as
much as n gold dollar in trade is simply
because il bears upon its diverse and re-
verse sides the stamp of the United

possible profit of from TO 12 per cent.

on the other side of the Atlantic would

schemes of the silver men to have "Tnore

CLEVELAND AND HILL.

Tammany made much of Cleveland
before election, but if the sage of Buz-
yards Bay is at all shrewd man he has
learned ere this what the gratitude of
Tammany amounts to.
IL does not require very keen eyes to
see the true inwardness of Hills infa-
nous scheme to steal the New York
Legislature. What has Hill to gain? He
wants "a delegation from New York
State to the next National Convention
pledged under the unit rule TO vote for
for him instead of for Cleveland as the
Democratic nominee for the Presidency.
He cannot ask for il without disloyalty
TO his party if the Legislature is Repub-
hcan, because in that case his success
might mean seating Republican in the
United States Senate in his room. Is it
not clear therefore what strong motive
he has for the theft he is SO energetically
attempting?
Cleveland holds his tongue, but IL is
not To be supposed that Cleveland does
not understand. The lawlcss plot is
against him even more directly than
against the Republicans. Cleveland
has had the reputation of an honest, if
wrong headed, man, but self-interest, as
well as patriotism should induce him to
speak at this juncture.

that precious metal would become
as il was in the years fol-
lowing Immediately after the war when
two and one-half dollars in greenbacks
were necessary to buy one in gold? 1t
is not too much to believe that should
such an unexpected event happen as the
bill being passed by Congress and the
signature of President Harrison being
added to it, that there would in short
time be two standards of value. The
result then would simply be that it
would require an extra weight of silver
to purchase bushel of grain or suit Of
clothes. Truly, the idea of free silver
seems as obnoxious as the Bland green
back bill of a dozen years ago.
Mr.. Powderly's second argument is
almost too fimsy to call for discussion.
With gold sent out of the country to pay
for the silver imported, the melting pot
and the die would soon transform it into
the coin of any nation under the sun.
That is the practice of every day in the
year here and elsewhere.
Mr.. Powderly should confne himself
to the affairs of the Knights Of Labor.
Evidently he now has too much time
idle upon his hands.

SHIPS OF THE NEW NAVY.

Naval circles are agitated at the re-
ports that come from st. Thomas con-
cerning the u. s. cruiser Philadelphia,
the flagship of the North Atlantic squad
ron. The ship rolls in medium sea, it
appears, to such an extent that it would
be impossible to fire the big guns with
any degree of accuracy, and when
storm RACES there is fear that she may
turn over entirely. There is talk Of
bringing the vessel back to the Brooklyn
navy yard and of adding several hundred
tons of pig lead to her keel so as to pre-
vent her from spilling her armament, ma
chinery, crew and all else to the bottom
of the sea.
The Philadelphia is one Of the Whit

able Secretary for the Navy had broken
the heart of John Roach and caused his
failure i'm business and later his death,
by refusing to pay the contract price for
the four vessels he had built for the
Navy, the Chicago, Boston, Atlanta and
Dolphin.
Mr.. Whitney desired to show how he
could improve upon the Roach ships and
the Philadelphia is one of the results.
With the sycophancy that marked sew
eral of the members of the Cleveland
cabinet the plans were secured from free
trade, aristocratic England. They were
plans rejected by the Spanish naval au-
thorities, but they were English, yQu
know, and being English they must, to
Whitney's mind, be superior to any that
an American designer could prepare

class power like Spain.

William G. Whitney did to John Roach.
The four vessels that the latter built for
the government-the pioneers of the new
steel fleet-are recognized as the most
seaworthy in the navy to-day, and in a
fight, experts acknowledge would make
a showing eqally as good as any of the
later additions. They are lacking in
speed, but they We're not built to be
especially speedy. They were intended
