Ex.President Hayes.

Rutherford Birchard Hayes, nine
teenth president of the United States,
died of neuralgia of the heart at his
home in Fremont, Ohio, Tuesday
evening, January IL. Mr.. Hayes was
born in Delaware, Ohio, October a
1922. He led his class at college,
studied law, and, when the civil war
broke out, had fine practice at Gin
cinnati. A good voice, pleasing man.
ner, talents of high order, and moral
character unblemished, commended
him to public favor.
When the civil war broke out he
came at once to the defense of the
Union. He did heroic service. He
was fighter. No peril of the battle
field daunted his courage. He held
very soldierly views of the duty of an
officer in the field. 1t was his business
10 stay there and fight his couutry's en-
emies till they were subdued, not to re-
sign his commission to accept political
honors. In his judgment, man who
should do this ought to be shot---a senti-
ment he put into an epigram that has
become historic. And he practiced
what he preached. With valor and hero

military judgment rapidly developed by

CO.ihsurance.--SOme Further Con.
siderations.

The WArCHMAN's editorial article on
this subject, in the issue of last week
has attracted much attention and given
rise to many inquiries, with REQUESTS
for further information affecting the
application of the rule to a case of loss.
The action of the New England In.
surance Exchange excites a general
and very lively interest, and spirit of
rebellion is rising against its attempt
to enforce the acceptance of the CO.
insurance clause. The feeling seems
to be that, if it is true that the stock
companies have not been charging re-
numerative rates, they should raise
their rates, man fashion and business
fashion, not undertake 10 recoup them

WE deeply regret the death of Hon.
Charles p. Marsh of Woodstock, au-
nounced in the last issue of this paper.
Mr.. Marsh was a typical gentleman of
the old school, dignifed and courteous
in his bearing, a stout champion, an
opponent to be highly regarded. He
had maintained very active interest
in the state affairs-an interest as fresh
and warm as that of men a generation
younger He was a man whom it was
pleasant TO meet and whose discourse
on public affairs was interesting aud
profitable. His death is loss to the
state.
IT was "A graceful and becoming thing
for Grover Cleveland to do to attend.
without invitation, the funeral of ex-
President Hayes at Fremont, on Friday
last. He thus paid an eloquent and
spontaneous tribute TO the character of
the dead eX-president. In the per.
Torrance of certain public duties, the
two dgnitaries had been frequently
brought together, and Mr.. Cleveland
bad come to regard Mr. Hayes very
highly. On hearing OF the death of
Mr.. Hayes, Mr. Cleveland instantly en-
pressed his determination to make the
journey to Fremont to pay in person
the last mark of respect to his departed
associate. Quietly and with becoming
grace and decorum, he carried out his
purpose. Under the circumstances it
was an act of rare dtlicacy and rare
significance, and reveals a quality in the
character of the president.elect that
does him infinite honor. In no way so
emphatic could he have said that he
has no part in or sympathy with those
individuals and journals of his party
who have vainly sought TO heap cal
jimmy on the eX'president, dead or liv-
ing.
