.DEFAMINe THE DEAD.

The ghouls who invade cemeteries to
prey upon the dead, orthe resurrection
lists who make a traffic in corpses are
scarcely more malignant or depraved
than those who asperse the fair fame Of
departed heroes and statesmen. The
sdage ode NOR tuis Mill isi bonuna" is
too antiquated for modernized observ-
ance. Ifin the course Of an illustrious
career a man has achieved honorable
distinction in the cabinet and on the
field, led the van in the halls of legisla-
ton and the brunt of battle, when the
grave closes over his remains the mercy
of silence ought to be extended to his
faults, and his virtues alone be held In
grateful remembrance. The nation
should guard and preserve his
memory from detraction and foul SLAM
der. "But the evil that men do lives
after them; their good actions are oft
inferred with their bones" Such was
the utterance ofthe bard of Avon. He
Justly said in lines sententious as an
apothegm of BACON's, overt thou pure
as ice and chaste as snow, yet shall
thou not escape the breath of calumny."
The nation is insulted by an outrage Of
fered to the reputation of the man
chosen by a majority of the people to be
the ruler of this grand Republic. The
exalted honor cost General GARFIELD
his life. Ifhe erred, grievously hath he
expiated his faults. They are but as
notes in the sunlight, and scarcely per-
ceptible except to evh eyes-that see
only defects in the brightest characters
and most brilliant talents, notwith-
standing the refulgent halo that rests
above the tomb Of the departed states
man, hero and President.

THE Brooklyn Times, intensely Re-
publican, and at the same warmly half
breed, says: "Itis to be seen whether
the American people do not finally con-
clude that. GUTTEAU is the most re-
spectacle of this crowd of assassins. He
did not sknlk behind an anonymous
signature, nor fire his pistol into dead
mans coffin" This we label and put
aside as one more contribution towards
harmony in that "grand old party"
The shelves are already overloaded.

MILWAUKEE, Aug. ia violent storm,
coming from the southwest, struck Madi-
son and vicinity last night. 1t was
seemingly confined to section of country
twenty-five miles in extent, reaching
from Mazomrnie to few miles east of
Madison. In the Black Earth valley the
storm was particularly severe. A cloud
burst near Cross Plains, deluging the
whole valley. Black Earth creek rose
with such rapidity that two
freight trains and the eastern passen-
ger on reaching that station were afraid
to go further and as subsequent events
proved this precaution was wise one,
..or in less than half an hour the rushing
waters carried away fifty foot bridge
just east of the station, and in less than
an hour carried away another bridge just
west of the station, sweeping nine
freight cars, which were attached to one
of the freight trains, and standing on the
bridge from the lack of room on the
switch and main track, off on the field
near by. The passenger train arrived
this afternoon. Much damage has been
done to the crops, but the extent of
country reached by the storm is not large.

The Train Wrecker Held

MILWAUKEE, Aug. 15.-Wm. Johnson,
of Racine, who attempted twice on Sat
urday evening to derail passenger trains
on the Chicago s. Northwestern railroad,
had his preliminary examination this
afternoon and was bound over to the
criminal court under 81 900 bail. He was
fully identified by a lad living near the
station.
Johnson claims to being ignorant of
any occurrence Saturday besides having
been on prolonged spree and leaving
Racine for Milwaukee. He says he don't t
know what happened from leaving Ra-
cine until captured in the woods near
Oak Creek station. The Racine county
sheriff gives johnson a good character
with the exception of drunkenness.
Johnson's statement conflicts with the
testimony of his captor, Donaghue, and
the Scanlon boy, who saw him piling up
ties two times. Both witnesses didn't
notice drunkenness.

Il GOOD MOVE,
Col. S. j. Ahern Chosen Agent of the N
Y. Life Insurance Company

Col. S. j. Ahern Chosen Agent of the
Y. Life Insurance Company
Willing hands and creative brains are
not allowed to remain idle very long in
st. Paul, and so 1t is in order to announce
that Col. s. j. Ahern has been appointed
general manager of the New York Life
Insurance company for Minnesota and the
territory west and north of us, with head
quarters in st. Paul.
The New York Life was organized in
1S45 and a company that stood the panics
of 1857 and 1861 and 1878. -oming out
with flying colors and $4,000, 900 of as
sets, "a must have honesty and
merit, and economy in its administration
The company, like all others. is subject
to the laws of Minnesota, and its yearly
statement is subjected to the examination
of our state commissioners of insurance,
so that persons in our state paying money
into its bank may rest assured that it is
properly cared for, as we have SAID the
state takes care of that.
Col. Ahern distinguished himself by
vigor in the administration of the
Chronicle, and it is safe that he will carry
the same industry, the same concern for
the property in his charge, and the same
courtesy which distinguishes the chat
with correspondents, which was an un-
common success in newspaperdom, and,
we repeat, the qualities that conquered
a success in the Chronicle will also, we
are sure, conquer success in the larger
field. We have great pleasure in saying
God speed to Mr.. Ahern and wishing his
company success in the future equal to
what it has enjoyed in the past That
will be enough.
The office Of the New York Life is in
the Mannheimer block, Third street.
We understand that already some of
our citizens have complimented Mr..
Ahern's administration by giving him
business
