quite probable that the temperance candi-
dates will make almost as great proper
tional inroads upon the Democratic as
upon the Republican vote,
What good the temperance men can ex-
pect by prohibition it is difficult to con-
ceive. In Maine there is larger percent
age of drunkenness at the present time
than there was before the passage of the
Maine liquor law. In Kansas the prohib-
itory law is openly deied. If man is
arrested for violating it he demands a
jury trial, and though scores OF cases have
been before the courts there has not, as
yet, been single conviction by jury.
In Iowa manufacturers have not reduced
the capacity of their distilleries or brew
cries, and dealers coptin1e to sell spirits
precisely as they did before the adoption
Of the prohibitory amendment to the
constitution. In all three of the states
named, where the experiment has been
tried, prohibition is an absolute failure.

THE FIFTH DISTRICT.

The Democratic Convention in the Fifth
District took the action which had already
been foreshadowed by the GLOBE, and
placed Hon. E. p. Barnum of Sauk Center
in nomination for Congress. If the policy
of making q nomination was to be adopt
ed & worthier selection of a standard bear
er could not be found than Mr.. Barnum.
He has always been,ready to maintain the
party standard and commands support
from his friends and the respect OF his DO
litical opponents.
The GLOBE has differed and still contin-
ues to differ. relative to the policy OF max
ing any Democratic nomination whatever
The GLoEB mas regarded the numerical Re-
publican strength OF the district so great
as to preclude the possibility of a Demo
crat being elected. The District compris-
es the section of the State which has been
the recipient of the greater portion of the
immense emigration which has been pour
ing into the State. As far as can be ascer-
tanned this immigration has been over
whelmingly Republican. With the full
vote which this contest viii call forth it is
safe 70 predict that the vote of Kindred
ana Nelson combined will reach 25.00O. If
this premise IS correct it becomes. evident
that the question to be determined at the
poIs Is which Republican viii be elected.
Mr.. Ba.Hu-n and his friends propose 10

able TO change the aspect of affairs. They
ought 70 be- and doubtless are. unalterablv

strengthen the most corrupt ring which ev-

vantage, they may be disabused when the

The past two weeks have witnessed the
best and most satisfactory exhibition, from
every point of view, in which the agri-
culturists of our section of country ever
engaged. great state Ike Minnesota, of
course, ought to be able to offer, at their
annual fairs, grand display of stock and
agricultural products, especially when the
territory embraces so large and varied a
soil ana climate as ours does.
The advantages OF such an annual ex-
hibition, when properly conducted, in act
ing as stimulus upon the production Of
better grade of products, and the intro
duction of better blood among our
horses, cattle, sheep and swine. has caused
our Legislature to enact favorable laws fol
the organization and support of state
agricultural society, and the fair
just closed at Rochester marks
the twenty fourth year of our Minnesota
organization. The society has seen its ups
and downs, its good timessand its adversi-
ties, but the present year has combined all
of the most favorable elements, and the
time for mutual congratulations among ita
friends has now fully come.
For the third successive year, as has been
before remarked, Rochester, located in
Southern Minnesota, has been selected as
the most proper location, and as a better
grade of accommodations were necessary
than the past two years offered, the citizens
of Rochester by the organization of joint
stock company and the liberal expenditure
of money, rose equal to the emergency
and provided ample and desirable quar-
ter5 for the reception of the samples Of
the wealth and increase of the states ag
ricultural products.
Under the stimulus of tie united anG
earnest efforts of set of officers who spared
no pains or effort to make it successful, thl
state fair was the scene this year of an un
rivaled and mammoth exhibition. Ful
accounts from day to day have been give1
of the more noteworthy and important o.
the exhibits, but in this, our closing allu
sion to the fair, there are several features
which we do not wish to omit which W;

A Dual TO the Death.

Robert Crittenden, the brother of
Henry Crittenden, whose removal to

very remarkable duel about the year
1880. He canvassing the Territory of
Arkansas as candidate for Delegate to
Congress-Gen. Conway, the brother of
the subsequent Governor of the State of
that name, being his opponent. The
latter was g jackson man." while Crit
tenden was anti-Jackson," in the polit-
ical nomenclature of that day. There
was an immense concourse of people in
attendance, and party feeling ran pretty
high. The discussion became personal,
and Crittenden at the close of his second
speech remarked that he "trusted no
gentleman would utter such words in
the heat of debate toward him as could
not be tolerated by the code of honor"
Conway retorted in a torrent OF bitter
invective and personal denunciations.
Crittenden briefly and calmly reioined
Your language, Gen. Conway, admits
OF only one answer, and that, you may
be sure, [ viii make right speedily" A
hostile message was sent the same dav,
and the meeting arranged for the follow
ing morning.
: vast throng had collected to witness
the duel, for there had been no attempt
made to conceal ii. Ben Desha, son
of Gov. Desha Of Kentucky, was Crit
tenden's second, and Col. Wharton Rec
tor was the second of Conway. There
was some delay in settling the prelim-
inaries, at which Gen. Conway became
impatient and excited, while Crittenden
remained perfectly cool, stretched quiet
ly on blanket, with his eyes closed as
though he were sleeping. Finally the
principals were called to their positions.
"The spectator" says an eyewitness,
cat glance contrasted their aspect and
bearing. Crittenden inherited the no
blest of human forms, with fair hair,
blue eyes and lofty countenance, frank
and open IN Its expression, and wearing
the seal of death-defying bravery. He
stood cool, collected and unconcerned,
like rifleman about to fire at mark.
But Conway had stern face, eyes dark
as night, and his look of indubitable
courage was percephbly tinged with
revenge.
"At length Desha gave the word in a
voice that rang over the hills like the
peal OF trumpet: Fire One-two-
three 7 At the sound 'Firep Conway
raised his weapon and drew the trigger.
His bullet grazed Crittenden's breast
and cut button off his coat without
more injury. But Crittenden waited

TEMPER4NCE IN V-TsCOysrv

The temperance question appears likely
to have an important bearing upon the
coming congressional elections in our
neighh0vi2g state of Wisconsin. In every
district save one-the Eighth-the tenn
perance men have either already nomi-
mated candidates for the house. or an
nource their intention of doing so. as the
candidates OF both parties with the excep-
tions noted are opposed to the introduc-
ton of that issue into politics. In the
Eighth district the Republican candidate
William I. Price, is acceptable to the tenn
perance element, as he has for years been
an ardent worker in their cause
The prominence of this issue in the can.
vass has already given rise to good deal
of anxiety in Republican circles. 1t is
generally thought that the Temperance
candidates will draw their main sun-
port from the Republican party, and as
several of the districts are close, it is feared
that the result viii be the defeat of tbs
Republican and the success of the Demo
cratic candidates. While there is no d,nb.

Republicans in this respect, we are afraid
