they narrowly escaped demoralizing and
disgraceful defeat. In Ohio, with all the

Butler is frightening them. Mr.. Conkling

it. He can drag his party out Of the slough

show the country that it has policy to

himself at the party's head on that new
policy, and SO doing be not only its leader

Fifty human beings were killed or MANNED
or mangled yesterday in Michigan, through
the needless Indifference Of an employee in
the service of the Michigan Central Rail-
way. He occupied the main line Of the
railroad with switch engine and caboose,
making up freight train, ut the time when
the express train was duo at that point, and
the train consequently collided with this
obstacle and was completely wrecked. This
person thought the express was late. 1t had
lett Detroit forty minutes behind time. and
he thought that once behind it would re-
main behind, and that he could have the
track for that forty minutes. But the train
had made up its time. and hence the
slaughter. Now, the man who on this thin
chance OF the safety OF this transaction put
in jeopardy the lives Of NIL those in the
train, and actually killed or manned
whole car full, ought to have a chance
to reflect on this subject for some
years in the tranquility of State prison.
Every railway travellers life would be the
safer for such result. But the company
in whose service it is possible for such
thing to happen is as much implicated in
the responsibility rs this more immediate
author of the calamity. II its service were
properly organized and its servants prop
erly disciplined it would not be possible
for ono Needless individual thus to take
the chances on the lives of all the occupants
of crowded train. Fortunately the COM
pany can be made to suffer financially; but
another remedy is needed to teach Needless
switchmen that human life is entitled to
more respectful consideration than this one
gave it.

Anybody who supposes the world does
not move may study with profit the report
in our columns to-day OF a public dinner to
Professor Nordepskj5ld in Japan. That
progress, reform, revolution, and good
budget of Western notions had made thoir
way into that strange country and domi-
ciled themselves there was known to
everybody but it can hardly have been
guessed that the japanese princes and noble
men had gone so far in the adoption ofoutside
fncies Us is implied in this welcoming a
celebrity with public dinner, with toasts
and complimentary speeches. His Imperial
Highness Kita Shira Kamn No Mya presided
at the dinner. and madean opening address
in German, in which he exhibited proper
appreciation OF the importance of the voy-
age, and Nordenskj0ld responded, and
proposed that the Japanese should now
make voyage in tie other direction to
Europe. NordenskSd did not in his
speech add word to what is already known
Of his journey, but incidentally it leads to
the discovery Of a new spirit in Japan.

Take tho stump, All of You.

Mr. Kelly has bravcly taken the stump
along the line of the New York Central
Railroad and will speak throughout the
State until election day. 1t is even said
that he intends TO drop down to Elmira and
beard Governor Robinson in his own homo
before he comes back to reawaken the
echoes of Tammany Hall and make the big
wooden Indian totter on its pedestal with
his oratory. 1t is an excellent example,
which his rivals will do well to copy. 1t
will do tho people good to meet the candi-
dates face to face. Whether it will also do
the candidates good is not the question.
There is nothing like seeing n man to
measure him. The HERALD always is
for tho people without regard to tho
individual interests OF candidates.. There
fore it calls on Governor Robinson to take
the stump and follow Mr.. Kelly up, and

Dainties, however, do not take kindly to
transportation, even by electricity. Tho
perfume OF the Cashmere rose must be in
hailed in Asia; the true flavor of the orange
and pine are unknown in the North, as that
of the strawberry is in the South, and those
who long for the delights Of our own and
the only Indian summer must come among
us to find them. Even for us this golden
season of the year is gone, except from our
memories; for just as every one was won-
dering whether, having remained so long,
it might not have determined to replace the
remainder of autumn. clouds began to
gather, the air grew moist, people who sat
down at open windows arose with incipient
colds, and to-day it seems rs if the weather
of forty-eight hours ago can hardly have
been of the same world as this. Verify.
American weather is peculiar.

Peculiar Weather.

Park and pedestrians ut the Garden, but
exactly the thing Tor those who have played

HERALD Weather Bureau would have been
glad to telegraph some OF this delicious
weather to Europe, just to show that
we bear the East Atlantic coast no
malice and to prove that we have
weather other than that which we send

Rule or Ruin-Which9

The HERALD would like to ask you a ques-
ton, Mr.. Kelly.
You are trying to break down Governor
Robinson because he would not do your
will, and, as your own efforts to break down
anybody would not amount to much. you
are trying to persuade the democrats of the
city and State to help you. Now, suppose
the democratic party should, like Governor
Robinson, refuse TO obey your orders |?
Suppose the democratic party, in spite of
YOU, votes for Governor Robinson and elects
him? What are you going to do about it?
1t is not an irrelevant question. Mr..
Kelly, because it is possible that Governor
Robinson may be elected, especially if in
your canvass OF the State you continue to
Witty and scold at him. 1t may by and by
occar to even your own followers in Tam
many that you are carrying things with
altogether too high hand, and that your
course sacrifices them for your selfish
ACKNOWLEDGMENT. What will you do, Mr..
Kelly, if Governor Robinson is re- elected /?
Will you submit? Will you acknowl-
edge your defeat, sue for pardon
for your attempt to destroy your party and
bring yourself and Tammany Hall back
humbly into such relations with tho party
as that may offer you? Or will you continue
the fight at oil hazards and to the bitter
end and drag Tammany Hall out of the
party with your

signs they do not want to be led out of

They are wondering whether you are, after
all, wise or safe leader, with your i'm

whether you are not leading them into n

Mr.. Montagu Williams, an eminent and
view with our London correspondent stated
as one of the reas ons why Mr.. Levy Lawson
assaulted Mr. Labouchere that as the per-
son libelled was the assailant's deceased
uncle there was no legal remedy. Perhaps
some inaccuracy on the part Of the inter-
viewer, or some confusion on the cable,
may have done injustice to Mr.. Williams
statement of the law. 1t has, we believe,
been held as the law of England that for
libel upon dead person which tended to
provoke the living and to excite their re-
vengeful impulses--and thus induce
breaches of the peace--the libeller was
amenable to the criminal law. Tt is diff
cult to believe that any recent enactment
has changed law SO eminently
just, and tho principle of which
is moro or less clearly defined in
the Jurisprudence Of all civilized coun-
tries. In France this practical protection
of the good name of the dead was not
great while ago put to the very severe test
of an appeal on behalf Of the good name of
Napoleon I'LL, and suit set on foot by the
late Prince Imperial was ended with
judgment against the libellers. Perhaps
civil action could not be maintained in
such case or damages extorted but if the
criminal law will punish the libeller, that
would be in a case of this nature more
effective remedy than forcing him to pay
for his misconduct. And if any remedy
was within reach tho reason given does not
hold good. a
In truth, however, the case of libels and
suits, civil or criminal, does not present at
it's best the general effort of society to secure
justice by law. Often the law affords no
satisfaction whatever for the injury Of libels
and even aggravates the injury by the noto-
rious pubEcityit gives to delicate points of
family history, while, on the other hand, it
affords lucrative field for a class of sharp
ers and blackmailing lawyers to prey upon
the press in consequence Of technically in-
furious publications inadvertently made.
In all this there is field for reform of the
first Importance, for it is desirable
that the law should protect with
scrupulous fidelity the reputation of every
man and woman, and that it should be
freed from the reproach 30 often justly
made, that the personal remedy"-the
remedy by assault, which sometimes be.
comes n remedy by assassination-is in
degree forced upon aggrieved persons by
the absence of any more legitimate justifica-
ton. On the other hand, the press, which
is an indispensable part of modern civiliza-
ton, should be protected from the scourge
of vexatious suits. brought only to take
advantage of those technicalities of the
law which are the causes Of its failure in
cases in which it is properly appealed to.

The New American Pedestrian.

The contest for the OLeary belt which
ends tonight at Madison Square Garden
promises to be famous in the records of
these six days foot races for the produc-
ton of an American pedestrian equal in
staying powers and speed to Rowell, the
stanch little double winner Of the Ashley
trophy. The score of Nicholas Murphy,
who leads in the O'Leary race, at eleven
o'clock last night, or 118 hours since
the start, was 446 miles, while Rowells
actual score was not quite 445 miles
at the Same hour. The Englishman
received credit for $50 short miles, but he
needed 26,55O feet of doing that distance,
SO that when the Haverstraw boy went to
bed he was really one mile and over ahead
of the Ashley winner. At nine O'Clock, the
10th hour, Murphy was five laps behind
Rowells real score, SO that he gained
nearly two miles in the next two hours.
According to these figures it is only
necessary Tor Murphy to do seventy
nine miles to-day to equal Roweli's
total score, feat he will doubtless
be able to accomplish, for when he
leII inc truck Ior u IHIcc HouEs IcSt nc
seemed fresher and stronger than
his English prototype. On his 18th
hour Murphy was eleven miles
ahead Of Merritts statute score. It
III ust be admitted that Rowell had
his mishap on the fifth day,
though many believe that the poisoning
story was shrcwd bit OF managerial tact
to advertise the race and increase the
receipts Admitting, however, that he
was ill and so lost five or six valu-
able hours. which puts his record in
unfair comparison with Murphy's. it should
be remembered that mans immunity
from COLES or other physical seizures Of
that nature is as much part of his record
as the number OF miles he makes. Rowell
made four hundred and two "short'
miles in ninety-six hours and Murphy
only three hundred and thirty-six statute
miles, SO it shows that speed in the earlier
part of the race is not necessary to win or
accomplish great score. Young Murphy
kept steadily to his work, always keep
ing reserved strength for the last
two days, and as he has no trouble
with his stomach and seems to bear
fatigue with ease, it is quite clear that he
can be counted on in the future to make n
desperate struggle to hold the American
championship. and, in time, win the
Ashley belt als,. Many people wonder
what interest there can be in these six
days races, or what possible good they ac-
complish. Any real contest calling for
determined physical effort, controlled
by strong self-will and downright
pluck is interesting, and these pc
destrian struggles must lead to IN
increase of popularity among the
masses for athletic sports; therefore they
are valuable in that sense. Though we all
cannot be great pedestrians every man and
woman in the land can improve their health
by more outdoor exercise. That is tho les
son taught by O'Leary, Weston, Rowell and
Murphy.
