A Terrible Murder at TOmah.

One of the most damnable murders
ever committed, was perpetrated at
Tomah last week Tuesday, during the
early night. A Mrs. Ryan, the wife
eff a man who had become a pauper by
the freezing, and consequent amputa-
ton OF portion of his feet, thereby
incapacitating him for labor, was in
some manner inveigled by q band of
four roughs, and made dead drunk
after which she was ravished and her
body dragged through the mud into
the rail road yards where it was found
the next morning terribly bruised and
mutilated. The particulars are too re
voting and terrible to be repeated
The poor woman has hitherto borne a
good reputation for industry and fru-
gality; she was a mother Of three chill
dren and was approaching fourth
confinement. TIE guilty brutes are
under arrest, and will probably get
their just desserts, SO far as the law
can visit judgement upon them.
The whole atrocity was the fruit OF
uhiskey. All were beastly drunk.
and the men who fired the brains OF
the hends with the alcoholic poison
are not whit less guilty than the
brutes who did the horrible deed, and
deserve the most condign punishment,
with them. And the men who legal
lied the sale of the damnable stuff
have crimsoned their hands, too, in
the blood of a fellow creature. He'll
scores another victory, and pats it.

recreation would do them good like {

Wausau and Grand Rapids have
ever been sort of Jonathan and
David, so all felt as though they were
going home rather than to sojourn
among strangers.
The entertainment passed off most
pleasantly. The Wausau people gave
them an excellant, and most courteous
aud appreciative audience. The troop
acquitted itself creditably, we think.
though perhaps we are prejudiced in
its favor being "of ours" The young
ladies, Misses Winnie Rablin, Fannie
Baker and Minnie Naylor, and Mrs.
Ladd, did remarkably well in their So
los and were spiritedly encored.
All seemed to enjoy the hospitality OF
the Wausau people, and all returned
feeling that it was good TO have been
at Wausau. The singers may give an
entertainment here very shortly.

WHETHER the Canadian fishery

neither becoming nor proper TO at

of arbitration is admirable, but it is
a two-edged sword, and cuts both

WE CANNOT RESUME ~ GOLD.

finding gold steady at about i0i, con
el1ded recently TO try resumption OF
their own account, bu, ti,eif purchase,

If the attempt were continued il
weald drive gold up again TO ia o.

the direction Of resumption Doa
gained would thus for a while be ST.
together lost. Bot that you'd not be
the 1o.s. result of such a course.
Every one indebted to these banks or
ta those hsying accounts with them
would be Obliged 10 sell at q sacrifice
in order To obtain goid-they would
lose the equivelant Of the premium, Is
TO 20 per cent or whatever il might be.
Now just think for moment Of
the result Of this. HOY many estates

would be able 10 stand iti Compare
iigely few. The result would be
bankruptcies innumerable, general
prostration Of business, and a panic
- which that Of 1873 could not be
for an instant compared. The ina
ability Of debtors to meet their obi
cations would carry under not few
Of ths banks themselves thus adding
TO the general distress.
The more silver there is in circula-
ton aud the greater its legal tender
power, the lees will be the premium
on gold. Gold at prescn, is like any
other commodity, the more il is need
ed the higher it is; that is, the
greater premium; the less it is
needed-tne lower it il, that is to say,
the lower the premium. Allow silver
TO perform its proper partin resump-

asters will take place. The change
from paper coin viii be affected i'm
perceptibIy, and without any jar TO
the industrial and commercial inter
esfs of the land.
Gold cannot readily be found at q
moments notice to settle four thou
sand four hundred million of liabili-
ties, TO say nothing Of the bonded
debt Of the United States-tberefofe
the persistency of those who know
better, in the advocacy OF gold re-
sumption alone is somewhat remark
able and gives rise to suspicious that
it is born of sinister object.
