An Editor Killed.

LOUISVILLE, Sept. ~, 1913.
The editor of the Vicksburg Sentinel, Mr.. John
jenkins, was killed IN the street, during poltl-
cal quarrel. This is the third fourth editor, or
attachE OF the Sentinei that has either been killed
duel or street fight, in the last SIX or seven
years.
Mr. Geo. Wright, we believe, was the first one.
He was the New Orleans correspondent of the
Sentinel, during the commercial revulson of 1897;
and in giving an account OF the tnancIers OF that
period, offended one OF them, which led to duel
and the death OF Wright.
The second was Dr. Hsgan, a very unable man
In private lic-but one not to be- ulfted with IN
public affairs. He was engaged in three or four
street fights, and was finally "ad to the land" to
use his own expression. For several days before
he was killed, both he and his antagonist went
armed with rifles, in The streets.
We do not recoect the name OF the third editor
killed.
Mr. Jenkins, who has just lost his life, was chal-
lenged about year ago, and quit. n large party
went to the ground to see the duel, but for some
good cause the fight was postponed, much to the
ANNOYANCE OF the spectators.

GO We have barely lime this morning to

o. We have barely time this morning to
mention that Robert Dale Owen made speech
last night TO crowd of Wings and locofocos
at the Court House, and that he was followed
in a few remarks by Gen. Lane. The notice
was short, but, notwithstanding, the audience
was large, and contained good many more
Wings than locofocos, who were induced tol
attend to hear what could or would be
said about Gen. Taylor, the Peoples candidate
for the Presidency. We have no time now to
notice the speeches of either gentleman, if
IN fact they require a notice. They were
like all the loeofoce speeches that we have
heard so far in Indiana, very poor apologies in
deed-so we think, SO thought the crowd, and
80 thought the speakers themselves; for they
apologised when they commenced, apoogised
as they went along, and apologised when they
concluded, as it was right and proper they
should do. OF course Mr.. Owen-who re-
members the time when he ran against
MIR. Payne perfectly well but has no
recollection of the time when he was
candidate against Judge Embree-was sore
ly perplexed because the wings in the pres
ent fight had no platform-the locos had a
large platform, one that was calculated to hold
any quantity, but the wings, the stingy fell
lows, had nothing but the Constitution to
stand upon, and as consequence locofoco or
stors had hard time oft fighting against it,
although they are prepared to do it as usual
nther than lose the fat offices they have SO
long enjoyed. Mr. O. spoke about an hour,
and laborsd very hard during the time. He
failed to raise the first whisper of applause for
Cass, but succeeded in stirring up Old lacks
friends, who, when they got upon the street
gave voice to their feelings in cheers for the
good old man and brave soldier. 1t was alto
gether the tamest affair we have attended in
long time, and the locos themselves looked,
and no doubt felt, that if their great gun
couldn't fight "better lick against old Rough
and Ready and the Constitution than he did
last night, they would undoubtingly find
themselves in November next in the situation
of Santa Anna at Buena Vista, badly whipped
and scattered. The wings were pleased, the
locos mortified, and several who went to the
meeting not caring how they voted, came away
confirmed Tayler men. Therefore, we say SC
far, good and the more such speeches there
are made the better for the Wings.
Gen. Lane III his remarks unsaid all that ht
had formerly said of Gen. Taylor, his cid com
mander.

ORIGIN OF YANKEE Doodle. During the
French war OF 1888, the provincial army,
sent against Niagara and Frontenac, was
commanded by Governor Shirley of Massa
chuseiis, and General Johnson OF New York
Through the earlypart OF the season the ar
my lay encamped on The Hudson, a little be-
low Albany. While the troops were in This
position, they were continually receiving re-
cruiis from the new England States in the
form of drafts and volunteers. They came
10, company after company, just as they ha u
issued from their farms and firesides, and
their appearance is said to have equalled any
specimen of the ludcrous ever exhibited,
save and except the famous company of Sir
John Falstaif. Some OF them had long hair,
some short, and some wore enormous wigs.
Some had black suits, some had blue, and
some had gray. Some had long coats, some
had short ones, and some had no coats al all.
Their Announcements were equally varied,
and all together furnished the most grotesqde
and amusing spectacle, that can well be i'm
agined, and abundance of sport for the Brit
ish Regulars.
The music played by the volunteers was
such as mad been out of date in the British
army for centuries, and assisted finely to add
point 10 the amusement afforded by the
whole scens In the British army at thai
time, was one DR.. Shackburg, surgeon, who
was skllful musician and great wag. -
The doctor Immediately tuned his ate tion
TO the Yankee volunteers, and determined
TO pass off a joke by composing a tune fo
their pa rlicular use. He accordingly Iemod
died the air of .Nankee DOODLE called il
"Yqnkee Doodle" and with all the gravity
/ imaginable recommended il to The new-com
ers, as one Of the most celebrated airs tina
bis country had ever produced.
The volunteers admired the tune and not
wiihsianding The hearty laugh aud noisy rid
icule of the regulars, 1t soon became a gen
eral iavorite ihroug bout The whole American
camp.
Thus originated an air in pure levity ant
ridicule, which many a British soldier in
few years had cause 10 consider the knel
of all bis glory. The same soul-s,irrinl
strains were heard at subsequent period oil
Bunker's Hill; ii e same on The plains o
; Yorktown; and the same strains will coniin
ne 10 warm the American heart, so long a
music hath charms TO inspire the breast an
rouse the soul TO action.
