FEARFUL ACCIDENT.-The mos
fearful accident which has ever hap
pened in the history of the Boston &
Albany railroad occurred last Thurs
day, about 12:30 p. NJ, when the tast
Boston and Chicago limited express,
going east to Boston, went through
the iron bridge over the Westield
river, east of Chester station, between
Pittsfeld and Springfield. Four
Wagner cars were torn to fragments;
ID passengers and train hands were
killed, and % were Injured. The
engine cleared the bridge, and two
day coaches and smoker in the rear
did not leave the track. The exact
cause of the accident is not known
and probably never will be. The
train left Pittsield a little late and
was speeding along at a good rate
when, as it struck the bridge, there
was a crash and greater part of
the train disappeared from sight
falling to the river 20 or 80 feet
below. Some say that the engine
jumped the track and struck the sec
ond span of the bridge, shaking the
bridge from it's foundation and carry
ing scores of people to death or seri-
GUS injury. Others aver that the
bridge collapsed from the weight of
the heavy train. The bridge was
being strengthened and the workmen
were eating their dinner near by.
r. c. Hitchcock, one of the victims,
is a well-known shoe dealer at Bel
lows Falls. He was on his way home
from the Worlds Fair, and his wife,
who has had charge of the store dur
during his absence, was to leave next
week for the Fair with a party of
friends,

The Schools and Patriotism.

There is significance for Americans
in the address of Prince Blsmark
Saturday to the Bavarian School
masters league. The Prince declar-
ed in the course of a long speech,
that France was an uncomfortable
neighbor through the influence OF her
schools, which inculcated Chauvinlsm
national vanity and ignorance OF
the geography and history of other
nations. eve are all Germans" he
added. eve have now become a
great unified nation. We have
founded institutions under which we
live and breathe as a nation, enabl-
ing US to play a part not inferior to
that of Great Britain, Russia or
France, whose unity was founded
earlier than ours. The unity of Ger
many is now SO firm that it would
be difficult to separate us even II
political errors were made"
Prince Bismark evidently looks
upon the schools of his native land
as schools of patriotism, as institu-
tions in which the young German is
taught and trained to love Germany
as whole, and not to be devoted
simply to the interests of this or
that particular state. On the other
hand he regards the schools of France
as perilous and mischievous, because
they breed and stimulate spirit of
revenge, of restlessness and of ag-
gression. How is it in our own
country? Do the school authorities
everywhere regard it as part of their
duty to inspire children intrusted to
their care with patriotic devotion to
the Union, and to teach them that
the nation, as whole, demands and
is entitled to their loyal attachment?
We fear not. There is too much evil
dence that in some southern schools
history is misrepresented and dis
loyalty eXtolled; that the lessons of
the past are perverted, and the cause
of secession held up as righteous, al
though unsuccessful. There is a ten
dency to hand down to the succeed
ing generation the sentiments and
prejudices which led to the struggle
so happily concluded twenty ight
years ago.
What the schools are doing for
Germany the schools everywhere
throughout this broad land ought
to do for the United States. The
children should be taught that they
are first of all Americans. They
should be taught to love the flag,
and all that the flag stands for of in
divisible Union, of manhood equality
and national power and dignity.
They should be taught the truth as
to the late conflict, it's causes and
it's results, and aboveall they should
be taught the lesson of that conflict
that the supremacy of the nation
and the Union of States are ques-
tions decided forever and beyond the
pale of discussion or dissention.
North and south alike can join in
admiring the heroism of the men
who fought in the late struggle,
whether under the national or the
confederate flag; but all loyal citi-
zens, north and south, will recognize
that there was only one right side in
that struggle, and that was the side
OF the nation, and there should be
no teaching in schools to the con-
trary.-N. Y. Press.

of the House, especially the Republi-
cans, Jared exceedingly well at the
hands of Speaker Crisp in the distri-
button of committee places. Gen.
circuit of the eastern Vermont dis
trict got his old place of honor on
the appropriations committee, and
Judge Powers got highly honorable
places on the judiciary and on Pacif-
ic railroads. Judge Powers was on
the committee on the election of the
President and Vice-President in the
last Congress, and took active inter-
est in it's work. His transfer to the
committee on Pacific railroads was
a surprise to him, but is evidence OF
the high opinion in which he is held by
the Speaker because the important
work the railroad committee is likely
to have to do.-Corrrespondent OF

There is one occupation in which
idle men can engage with hope of fail
remuneration. The downfall of sill
yer has started new boom in gold
mining. In the new gold camp OF
Ivy, in Grass Valley, Nevada, an i'm
mense body of mineral has just been
discovered that assays $125 in gold
and 260 ounces of silver to the ton.
Several other equally good prospects
are being developed at Ivy, and
great expectations are INDUCED in
regarding the gold discoveries in the
Henry mountains. 1t was the dis
covery of gold in California that
checked the panic caused by the
Walker tariff bill of 1916. Gold min
ing may prove the way of provi-
dence now to stay the ravages of the
silver craze.

Senator Sherman's Position

Senator Sherman's speech on the
repeal of the silver purchasing clause
of the bill bearing his name shows
only what might have been expected
from this grand Republican states
mana broad view of the whole stu
alton, comprehensive grasp of the
real relations between gold and silver
as money metals, and the stand to
be taken by the government III deal
ing with the silver question. He said
that the real issue was the opening
of the United States mints to the
free coinage of silver, and the gravity
of it could not be spoken in words.
If single standard of gold were
had, without the aid of silver, the
relations between capital and labor
would be disturbed, the industries of
the country crippled, AMI the value
of silver still further reduced. On the
other hand, if the purchase of fifty
four million ounces of silver per year
were continued the United States
would be eventually brought to a
single standard of silver. These two
extreme conditions should be avoided,
and both gold and silver should be
continued in use as money as meas
ures of value.
The free coinage of silver meant a
single standard of silver. 1t meant
a reduction of the wages of labor
not in the number of dollars, but in
the quantity of bread and meat and
other necessaries of life that it would
purchase. The problem was how to
procure the largest use of gold and
silver hout-1<=4enetiziag either,
The y. sideiit of the United States
was not justified, he said, in ascribing
to that law the present financial
stringency. Financial troubles in
England had led that country to
send back American securities and
take away American gold; and, an
other trouble was that for the first
time in many years the balance of
trade had turned against the United
States last year. Congress, however,
had got to deal with the situation,
not with the act of 1890.
81 do not" said Mr.. Sherman,
"vote for the repeal with any expec-
tation that it will in any considera-
BILE degree relieve us from the indus
trial stagnation that has fallen on
all kinds of industries, and that has
thrown out of employment hundreds
of thousands of men and women
They care little for the kind of money
paid to them, provided it has equal
purchasing power of every other
kind. They want employment; they
want reasonable protection against
undue competition with foreign
laborers, who are miserably paid,
fed, lodged and clothed. Give them
this and you may make your stand
ard of value as you choose"
"We ought to suspend the pur-
chase of silver bullion. Thepurchase
of silver is no longer necessary and
it is Improbable and dangerous.
Not that | wish to depreciate silver.
would gladly advanceit to parity
with gold at the legal ratio, but as
that is impossible, | am willing to
vote for any measure that will tend
to a parity of the two metals at any
fixed ratio. l will cooperate in any
measure that will tend to maintain
the harmonious use of silver and gold
as standards of value"

ONE MANS INFLUENCE.-We wish
to state an incident. The New Mexi-
co broken banks have been trying to
get their feet under them once more
and resume business. Receiver Eos
ter has been at Washington for the
last two months bringing every pos
sble influence to bear upon Comp
troller Eckles to allow resumption
under certain circumstances. The
comptroller made a ruling. After
the ruling was announced he consid-
cred the matter at some length, and
pondered on a reconsideration. To
this end he made an appointment
with Congressman Powers of Yer
mont. At the appointed time Con
gresham Powers met him and was
asked to give two hours of his time
to a private conference with the
Comptroller. The only result of this
was that the previous decision was
announced as reversed because oil
unavoidable constitutionallaw appli-
ed to the subject, and Judge Powers
walked sedately to his lodgings
There can be half a dozen large-sized
morals grasped from tile foregoing
