THE SPRINGFIELD "UNION."

President and Treasurer j. l.. Ship
ley of the Springfield Union Company
announced last night the sale of a con-
trolling interest in that paper to a local
syndicate who will shortly print morn
ing edition to neutralize the political
heresies of the so-called independent
Republican.
Mr. Langtry as business manager and
Mr.. Giddings as editor will be in full
control of the new enterprise. Both
know the field and the work. Both are
full of youth and health and enterprise.
Both are firm Republicans. Both have
been instrumental in lifting the Union
out of a quagmire of indebtedness and
difficulties to a paying basis. Both, in
Mr.. Shipley's ill-health, have practically
run the paper for some time. They
will succeed.
We congratulate the Union and in
particular the Republicans OF Western
Massachusetts on this change. 1t means
woe for the Wumpers.

DISCONTINUED DEMOCRACY.

The election Of members of the DEM
ocratic city committee on Wednesday
evening reveals state of affairs which
can only be explained by the spirit of
contention inherent in the party.
Whether we consider the national party
or its almost insignificant local repre-
sentation the same facts remain true.
The National Democracy has never had
a policy to which it could adhere as a
unit; it has rarely made statement Of
its position in its platforms which was
not equivocal in meaning, and it has
only once or twice had leader upon
whom its factions could heartily unite.
The local miniature is fashioned on
the same style, but its main troubles lie
not so much in principles as in the scar
city of offices. The malcontents are
born office seekers, and after each sue
cess of the party those who do not get
the offices are sure to be reckoned among
the opponents of the powers that be.
The present Democratic city committee
has shown by results that it
can be successful. Why then
change it? The intelligence Of
the party as shown by the recent
election is evidently against the change,
which was desired solely by few
whose aspirations were greater than
their abilities and whose numbers are
evidently small The city committee
as it now stands is rs good as our op-
ponents have had for years. 1t is not
subservient to Mr.. McNally, but it con-
sistently and rightly believes that that
redoubtable leader of the better ele-
ments of his party is a truer representa-
tive Of what Democracy ought to be
than those boilers whose organ contin-
ually reviles him because it cannot con-
troll him
But after three months of persistent
fighting and skirmishing and three
weeks of almost unceasing activity the
opposition is but a shadow Of what it
was supposed to be. In only two wards
was it at all successful, and in one of
those the success was due to a species of
political sharp practice which has been
of little avail in any ward where intelli-
gence is more generally diffused. In
two wards the opposition, after untiring
efforts, could secure no sign of foot
hold.
Little as its power really is, however,
there Is II lesson to be learned Etrum 1T 1t
which Republicans will do well to study.
The fall campaign will be campaign
largely devoted to national issues, but
the local questions are still to be dealt
with, and the break in the ranks of the
Democracy should be met by the Repub-
licans not with any idea that the break
will be potent, but with the expectation
that it will be as impotent at the fall
election as it was on Wednesday night.

The clubs of the Republican League
of Rhode Island may well be proud of
the work they have accomplished and of
the work to which they are now setting
their hand. The annual meeting over
which President Tiepke presided this
week at Newport calls renewed atten-
ton to the magnificent organization of
this State, with forty-one clubs pushing
the work of education among the voters
with the splendid vigor Of their thous-
ands of members. A roll of ten
clubs among the foreign -born--eight
recruiting their members among the
Canadians, one among our Swedish citi-
zens and one among the Italians-is in
itself mighty force on the right side.
To those whose faith is strong and whose
hearts are fixed ON the principles for
which Republicanism stands it is mat
ter for proud congratulation that a
forceful body of young men, who in the
spring campaign held seventy-six meet
ings and had thirty-two speakers in the
field, are still perfecting their organiza-
tion, still consolidating their ranks, still
straining after new victories and still
reaching out for fresh laurels they may
worthily wear.
Republican prospects are indeed bright
in this snug little Commonwealth when
the grand old party has such grand
young allies.

The bill of Congressman Stump to
facilitate the enforcement of the immi.
grafton laws of the United States,
would undoubtedly work an improve
ment in some particulars if its provi-
sions were carried out with strictness.
1t requires the steamship companies to
prepare descriptive lists Of immigrants
on the other side of the ocean, and to
deliver them to the immigration In

at will be easier" says the report, "for
the steamship companies to make these
lists as the immigrants go on board than
it is for our inspectors to make them
when they arrive"
Continuing the report says: "The facts
in the lists concerning the immi-
grants are brought home to the steam
ship companies as being known to them
before the immigrants sail, so they can
have no excuse for bringing any person
shown by the lists to be disqualified for
admission. The oaths of the captain
and surgeon of the steamship attached
to each list of immigrants, that they
have before sailing personally examined
their passengers, and found among them
no persons who are excluded from ad-
mission into the United States, and that
the facts stated in the list as to each
passenger are, in their belief, correct
and true, will be almost complete safe
guard against the bringing across the
ocean of immigrants not entitled to come
in."
This is, as persons who have studied
the shipping of steerage passengers on
the other side are aware, nothing more
or less than an insistance ON the moro
rigid performance of certain things the
steamship companies are already sup
posed TO do. The tickets which are now
issued TO intending emigrants at Liver
pool are imposing affairs with blanks
for name, age, condition (married or
single), occupation, destination and
other interesting particulars. In point of
fact, however, emigrants are required to
fill them out only partially.
An examination of passengers by the
captain and ships surgeon is always
made now, but as rule in the most
perfunctory manner. The process us
ually gone through with is about as fol-
lows: On the Liverpool lines an hour
or two before anchor is weighed the
