A VILLAGE TRAGEDY.

Not for many a day has the local chroncler
had more thrilling tale to tell than that of
Thursday mornings tragedy at Bedford Station.
Desperate encounters with outlaws are not I'M
common in some Of the less settled regions of
the Far West 1t is startling to have one in the
very suburbs of the metropolis. The peaceful
vager regards with dread the deeds of violence
done in the great city. From such things, he
thinks. he and his ncighbors are exempt. Yet
here. an hours ride from the heart Of New York

shotgun and pistol. Is any rude mining camp
or isolated ranch has seen. and in that peaceful
rural hamlet, where the whole current of life
seemed as gentle as midsummer moonlight. was
done crime as black as all the annals Of the
crowded Sums can tell 1t was a striking Illus
traton of the samena ss Of human passions the
world over, and of the risks to peace and limb
and life that besat men everywhere because Of
the evil that their fellows do.
It was something more. II was an incident
that afforded luminous example of that uncon-
scious heroism which is the highest and best

The provision of the new excise law respect

THE Detroit Tribune is decidedly careless, to
say the least. on Thursday it printed on its
editorial page the alleged article from The Lon
don Financial News" Of March 10. which that
journal recently declared to be rank forgery
1t was made to say that II the United States
should adopt free coinage, Great Britain would
lose her markets in South America. Asia and
Europe. and American ships would not be long
''ln capturing the carrying trade of the world
The article has been widely quoted in Popust
Journals; but in its issue Of August H. The
Financial News says mo such article was
eyer printed by us, and its whole tenor is direct
ely opposed to the view we have taken OF free
silver in the United States. So far from advo-
eating free-silver coinage. we have persstently
pointed out that it spells reputation and the
withdrawal of all European capital" That ex-
pllct denial ought to have prevented paper
like THE Detroit Tribune" from making any
further use Of the forged article

Ger recommended that no change be
made in the specifications, and the Pc
tition of the contractors was refused.
The mayor laid before the council
an ordinance ratifying a contract be-
tween the city and John A. Ettler Tor
grading and macadamizing Main ave
