There is something far deeper in the
reverence evinced today for fallen pat
riots than a ~perfun9tory sentiment.
The people are learning nowadays to
appreciate patriotism-not necessarily
that which is loudest in its noise and
Fputter, although that has its uses; but
rather that firm, true kind which
backs its convictions il need be by
the shedding of its very life blood, and
counts no sacrifice which inures to the
perpetuity Of our free institutions.
In all ages men have acclaimed their
military chieftains, There has never
been a lack of Difference for wearers of
the shoulder straps. We honor them
living and we deity them dead. 1t is
the special glory Of the memorial an
niversayy which bsfalls today that it
Is almost the one national testimonial
offered in any country to the heroic,
long-suff4ring and ill-paid rank and
file. America thus supplies lis grand
est rebuke to those centuries of feudal-
IhLl III hLllCh lduh dlh ChsLC uuu hilohO-
cratic privilege sought to rob the mas
res of their natural aud divine rights,
In America, tho private soldier Of yes.
terday is the citizen OF today and the
houored hero OF tomorrow.
A day so hallowed in its origin and
in its import should bo kept clean. It
is not II fit day for boisterous and
vociferous pastime. Even innocent
merriment becomes by contrast with
the pathetic seriousness of its true
meaning almost a proclamation. The
idle aud thoughtloss s%portiveness which
selects for its particular occasion this
sublime anniversary Of nations rever-
ent grief; and which unwittingly com.
mingles its vain noises with the sound
of eulogy and the sob Of sorrow is so
obviously inappropriate as to call for
strong dissent.
Fortunately, a past tendency toward
unthinking merry making ia receiving
check and correction.

IT WAS scarcely necessary for John
Leiseuring to deny the transparent
charge of an eTraiic Wilkes Barre con-
temporary that he had made improper
use of money in his candidacy for the
Republican nomination for congress.
Apart from the fact that his own char
acter is as clean as that of any Repub-
lican competitor, the animus of the
charge was too apparent to give it
seriousness. The worthy gentleman in
whose behalf it was made. but who we
do not believe WAS responsible for the
break, might we'll pray TO be saved
from his friends.

JUDGE ROOTS HOUR.

Seven Law Breakers Called Upon to
 Answer This Morning.
 Matthew Cavanaugh was in the box this morning with one of the worst looking faces ever seen in the police court. He had been in fight on the Abrigador and was taken in by Officers J. Brickel and J.. Sullivan. Judge Root let him of with a thirty days sentence, because of the pun ishment he had received.
 James Griffin 1ndulged in scrap with an Italian while trying to secure a work ticket yesterday. The Italian got the worst of 1t and had Griffin arrested. Judge Root let him off with reprimand.
 The rest of the evidence against the four boys. Patrick Kelly, Joseph Callahan William McNellis and George White was heard this morning. Two of Reid X Hughes clerks identified the four boys as the ones who were hanging around the store. Two knives were also found with two other boys who had bought them from some of the four. The parents of the boys and others testified to the good char acter of the boys heretofore. The boys all possessed good homes and Attorney Web ster thought small fine would meet the ends of justice. Judge Root thought the boys guilty, but was undecided what to do with them. He adjourned their cases un- til tomorrow morning under S200 bonds.
 Luke Reilly was drunk yesterday and resisted Officer Smith with all his might. He was given thirty days in jail for drunk enness, three months in jail and $50 and costs for resistance

WORLD OF SPORTS.

Cincinnati has 19 men already under contract and is looking for more. What 8 grand discharge of supertiuous players will take place in the sweet by-and-by.
 Ex-Pitcher Jimmy Calvin was dis. charged for lack of evidence on the charge of being implicated in a robbery.
 Dan Brouthers goes back to Baltimore after an absence of almost 19 years. He played there in 1875.
 Pitcher Paddock has declined an offer to go to St Louis and is said to be consider ing an offer from Cleveland.
 Shindle supplanted Gilbert as third baseman of the Baltimores, and now both are to compete for that position on the Brooklyn team. Gilbert was released by Baltimore on account of his poor hitting, and last season he was second in the East ern league in that department.
 According to the Cleveland Plain Dealer the Pittsburg club has not secured a jewel in left-handed Pitcher Nicol It pro- nounces him a fair pitcher, who thinks he is star; a man said to be hard to handle, invincible on some days, like all the left handlers, on other days 'easy." Anson tried him in '91.
 The fight between Tommy Ryan of Bridgeport and Billy Smith of Boston last night at the Casino in Boston resulted in a draw in the sixth. The hitting was light all through the contest, It was the agree ment if both men could stand on their feet in the sixth round the fight would be de- clared draw. There is possibility that the men may meet again and fight to a finish.

JAMES J. MADDEN.
The Popular Town Clerk Dead From
 Complication of Diseases.


 Complication of Diseases.
 Town Clerk James J. Madden died at 6 o'clock last evening at his home, 451 North Main street, from a complication of dis eases. Mir Madden was taken sick on Tuesday of last week and his condition im- mediately gave rise to serious apprehen- sions. Typhoid pneumonia developed and from the first the attending physicians, Doctors Hayes and Castle, pronounced the case serious. There was hope, however, until bronchitis set in yesterday. At two o'clock yesterday afternoon Mir Madden became unconscious and slowly failed until the end came at o'clock. During his ill., ness MT Madden was attended by the Rev William Lynch of the church of the Im- maculate Conception.
 James J. Madden was born in County Galway, Ireland, in 1859. When but a child his parents came to this country and settled in New York city. He was educa- ted in the public schools and later took a course in the college of the City of New York. He read law in New York and pre- vious to his advent into this city was for two years located in Albany, N. Y., serv- ing as page in the capitol. He came to Waterbury in 1878 and entered the en- ploy of the Scovill Manufacturing Go, and later that of the Waterbury Manufac- turing CO, where ne rose to the pOSlIlOn or foreman. In 1888 he was nominated by the democrats for town clerk, but was de- feated by James c. White by very small margin. The following year MT Madden was again the choice of his party, and was elected by a handsome majority. Since then he has held the office continuously. He was familiar with all the details of the office, and the able manner in which under his direction the affairs of the town were conducted, coupled with the uni formly courteous treatment of all, made him deservediy popular.
 In politics MT Madden was an uncom- promising democrat He was a natural leader and his counsel was always sought and needed. He was one of the organ izers of the Waterbury Democratic associa- ton.
 In 1885 MT Madden married Miss Mary Egan, daughter of Roger Egan, who with two sons, James, aged 7, and John, 4, sur vive him. He also leaves his mother, Mrs Bernard Madden, who lived with him. and two brothers, William Madden of this city and John Madden of Albany, N. Y.
 The deceased was a prominent member of Barcelona conncil, K. of C., the Second division, A. o. H., and the Waterbury lodge of Elks. The funeral arrangements are being made by Undertaken Moriarty. The funeral will take place from the resi- dence at o'clock tomorrow morning to the Immaculate Conception, where mass of requiem will be sung. The flag on City hall is at half mast to-day as mark of re- spect to the deceased.

CONFLICTING OPINIONS.
As to the Appointment of a Successor
 to the Late Town Clerk Madden.

As to the Appointment of a Successor to the Late Town Clerk Madden. The appointment of Thomas F. Mo Mahon, to be assistant town clerk, an- nounced in the DEMOCRAT yesterday, may lead to complications that the courts will have to decide. The statutes bearing upon the appointment of an assistant town clerk are as follows:
 Section 73. Any town clerk may nominate an assistant town clerk, who, having been approved by the selectmen 1 clerks, may, in the absence or inability of the town clerk perform all his duties, ex- cept decf1ing on the qualifications of electors.
 'Seotion "A. When any town clerk | shall be unable to discharge the duties of his office, and shall have omitted or shall be unable to nominate an assistant town | clerk, the selectmen may appoint one, | who, having been duly sworn, may act as town clerk, except as provided in the pre- ceding section, during such inability or until the next annual meeting of said town"
 It would Seem that this authorizes Mir McMahon to hold office until the annual town meeting. The selectmen, however, call attention to section 63 of the statutes which reads as follows:
 "If any town office in any town shall be vacant by the neglect of the town to ap- point, or the refusal of any person ap- pointed to act, or by the death or removal of any person appointed, or from any other cause, such town, in legal town meeting assembled, may fill the vacancy; but until the town shall fill it, such va cancy may be filled by the selectmen of the town"
 It was said this afternoon that the selectmen in order to avoid the necessity of holding a special election, would ap- point whoever was the choice of the demo- cratic party to act during the unexpired term. It is possible that the delegates to the last town convention may be called together to make choice. They were as follows% First district William Cassin. Thomas Fin negan. Joseph T. Kenney. John F. Cor den, Peter Dunn second-Daniel F. Dal- ton. William J. Cullen, Kyron Brophy, David H. Hayes, Peter w. Reilly; third P. H. Began, P. F. Bannon, Patrick Cronin, Thomas Kilmartin, James Doherty, (deceased); fourth-John R. Martin, John Kavanaugh. William Kurtz. Timothy O'Rourke. Maurice Healey, Edward B. Reilly, William Casey.
