A dispatch from st, Paul says: The
agents of the different lines leading to
Chicago were very busy to-day in taking
hold of the change of passenger rates and
preparing advertisements and circulars ex-
toliing the virtues of their road and the
cheap fares. They say that the preparation
for the breaking OF the pool was made Oct.
6, andsVas pushed upon the Omaha and
Milwaukee lines by the Albert Lea at that
time. The cut of the Albert Lea did not
affect Che freight rates, which, according
to the pool, last until Nov. 80. At that
time the freight rates will be changed and
either lowered on the Albert Lea or raised,

The republican press throughout the
country is busy making up presidential
slate for the democrats. 1t appears to the
ARGUS that the republicans have quite
enough to do to look after themselves.
Give the country much needed rest, gen
tlemen. The advice rendered is entirely
untimely and unbecomlng. Ben Butler
seems to be the gentleman the republicans
desire the democrats to select; but their
advice will not be needed Ben will net
be the man; and the ARGUS can see no pos
sible reason why he should while there are
hundreds why he should not.

DOES PROTECTION PROTECT LAHORE

Evansville Courier
The one cry which has been used by pro
| tectiOnists to bolster up their robbery of
the treasury under the forms of law" as
Dir. Justice Miller characterized the present
ubiquitous tariff system, is that they de
sire to protect American labor. Nothing
could be more disingenuous and hypocriti-
cal than such an argument, for the most
unintelligent workman knows that the
laboring men who work in the machine
shops of the country do rot share the
enormous bounties given to the bosses by
the protective tariff. A tariff that would
result in the protection of labor, is such a
tariff as would give TO the laborer al of
the increase in the price of manufactured
articles consequent upon the duty imposed
by government. To illustrate: Ii an arti-
Gle can be produced in England or Europe
10 per cent. cheaper than in the United
States it is fair and just that the tariff on
that article should be 10 per cent, so
as to protect the American labor
er against the competition of the
Kcheaper labor of older countries This
would still leave the American manufac-
turer the advantage of the ocean freight,
which should be ample protection for the
bosses. But the advocates of protection"
are not satisfied with tariff of that kind
Under the false plea Of protecting Amer
lean labor, they not only demand tariff
sufficient to cover the difference in the cost
of labor as compared with the cost of Eu-
ropean labor, but they demand, also, a
tariff large enough to assure them an enor-
nous profit on their wares Take the ar
ticle of blankets, for example. A duty of
twenty per cent would more than cover
the difference between the price of Ameri-
can and transatlantic labor, leaving the
American manufacturer the handsome
margin in his favor afforded by the saving
of ocean transportation. But what do we
see? Blankets those articles so lndispen-
sible to the comfort of poor and rich alike,
are taxed from SO to 104 per cent, accord
ing to quality, the cheapest article being
protected by the highest tariff. Now, if
prOtectionists are sincere in their declara-
ton that they are solicitous only Tor
the welfare of American labor. why do
they not divide the 65 to 81 per cent. In
excess of the sum necessary to protect la
Dor as against European competition,
among their Employer Why hog all that
enormous profit instead of sharing it with
the labor they pretend that they want to
protect? Does not every intelligent labor
er know that these manufacturers are insin-
cere when they make such pretensions?
Can any intelligent laborer witness the i'm
mense fortunes that have been accumGlat-

EDITING IN ARIZONA.
The Pleasures of Cowboy Criticisms.

| Mr.. John p. Clum, until recently the
editor of the Tombstone (Ariz.) Epataph, is
| in the city, and tells a highly interesting
| story of personal adventure, from which
| 1t would appear that, next to running a
bank, editing a paper in the uncivilZed
portions of the west is about as dangerous
an undertaking as man can well engage
in. He went to New Mexico in 1871, and
in 1874 was appointed Indian agent for the
Apache tribes, at San Carlos, Arizona In
May, 1880, Mr.. Clum established the Tomb
stone Epdtaph as a weekly. 1t is now a
furnishing daily. He was first made post
master, and afterward mayor. As post
master he had hard time of it, but as the
chief magistrate of the village brought as
he was, into almost daily contact with the
rougher and most desperate elements, he
grew accustomed to write his editorials
in sight of his trusty Colts six
shooter. In attempting to preserve
order he made enemies of the COWBOYS
This was the first step in a long and pro
tracted warfare which lasted off and on
for more than six months. First, there
occurred drawn battle at mid dav. be-
tween MIR. Clum's chief of police and three
officers. and four COW boys. Three of the
offic rs were badly injured. and three cow
boys killed outright. The fourth, who
happened not to be armed, ran away and
escaped. After this citizens commit
tee was formed and paraded the streets
day and night, armed with six shooters,
needle-guns and Henry rifles Mr. Clum
assaIled the cowboys vigorously through
the columns of the EpGtaDh, and every
time one was brought before him as mag
istrate he imposed on him heavy fines. Then
the cowboys lay in wait for Mr. Clum,
until he was compelled to go heavily
arr n rod c4o
without being attended by bedyguard
Every editorial added new fuel to the
flame. The. cowboys rode into town by
night and tried to waylay the editor as he
went to his Office in the morning. Luckily
he escaped all their bullets
Every ordinary plan failing, the COW
boys banded together, and camping few |
miles from Tombstone, in deep and wild |
canyon, signed deaths head agreement |
to kill Mr.. Clum with pens dipped in blood |
taken from convicts arm, and afterward |
drank from cup of warm blood, diluted |
with pure spring water This came TO his |
ears, and he bought another Henry rifle.
and never went out into the street without
being accompanied by several members of
his police force. The chief of police was
shot at and nearly killed one night Things
were getting very desperate indeed, and the |
Epatdm had great difficulty in getting out
without the death of a compositor or an
adventurous newsboy. Mr.. Clum slept in
a room guarded by men armed to the
teeth. He did not remove his
clothes, but kept his gun and pistol
where he could lay his hands on them
Life was now becoming such /
decided burden that he determined to pull
up stakes and move to some place where
the shotgun played a less constant part in
the progress of civilization and the main
tenance of the press To leave wa. how

ever, not an easy thing to do, for the cow
boys, suspecting some such move. had laid
their plans accordingly, and were posted
around the outskirts of the town in the
bushes, ready to shoot him as soon as he
appeared.
Mr.. Clum determined to reach Tucson at
any cost, and ore dark night about o'clock
got in a stage coach and drove out into the
prairie. 1t was bitter cold, the horses were
galloping along in the darkness and snow
aud Mr.. Clum was sleeping uneasy, muffied
up in his overcoat in the bottom of the
coach, dreaming of the good things in
store for an editor when he gets to heaven,
when loud voice outside cried ''Haltr'
He jumped to his feet and the horses sud
denly reared back and stopped.
The order to halt and the commence
ment of the firing were simultaneous. To
the command "Hold upr' the driver re-
sponded, s'AIl right" but the shots
frightened the horses, and they broke into
run. After running about mile one of
the horses fell dead, and the coach stopped
Upon examination it was found that the
horse was fatally shot. While this horse
was being cut out of the traces Mr.. Clum
stepped to one side of the road to listen,
as a second approach of the assailants was
feared. Believing that the purpose of the
attack was to kill him, he decided to leave
the coach and take his chances on foot, as
he saw he had no show of making a fight
in the coach. He walked to the Grand
Central mill. about seven miles distant,
where he was kindly provided for. After
a sleep of Two hours he started on horse
back for Benson, arriving there without
any further trouble. From there he pro-
ceeded to Tucson, and Immediately left for
the East Mr. Clum has sold his paper
and will probably not return to Tombstone.

NOVEL DUCK COUNTING.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 9-As the steamer
Emma G. Elliott was coming down the
river last night, the cabin passengers
and the crew were startled by a
singular whistling sound in the air all about
the boat. No one could account for the
noise. and the more they tried the more
unaccountable it seemed, Capt. Postal
went to the electrical machine and turned
on the light eight hundred candle power
In a moment the whole foggy river was
flooded with light. 1t was seen that the
noise proceeded from an immense colony
of wild ducks on their way southwark.
The binding glare startled the fowls, and
rising in great numbers they began flying
straight at the lamp. For twenty minutes
the boat was literally full of ducks.
Some would hit heavily against the
glass around the light, and fall
stunned to the deck. Others fell in
to the faces of the men and were knocked
down with sticks and canes. In all several
hundred were secured. Thirty-six were
found concealed in different parts of the
cabin this morning, when the boat came
into the wharf at st. Louis. Others were
found about the boilers and in the engine
room and a great number were killed by
the wheels. The ducks were mostly ia
the water when the boat ran into the i'm
mense flock, and when the electric light
was turned on them they seemed to go crazy
With fear They rose in great droves and
Hhirled around in the air before dashing
themselves against the lamp. The men on
he Elliott say that never on the river has
here been so many ducks and geese as at
present. Every slough and creek along
he river between here and Cairo had sew
raj hundred ducks floating on it this |
morning The total catch on the Elliott |
will amount to several hundred. A great |
many Of The ducks killed fell back into the |
liver and were lost

THE PASSENGER WAR.

The cut in passenger rates from Mime
apolis and St Paul to Chicago, inaugurated
by the Chicago, Milwaukee and ST. Paul,
has resulted in the same reduction being
announced by the Chicago and Northwest
ern and Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis and
Omaha, which Jointly form a through line
to Chicago. The fact that the Albert Lea
route had been payinga commission or re-
bate to passengers the last six weeks OF So
ON regular first-class fare to Chicago had
been previously announced. The Albert
Lea people claim to have begun this us
measure of self protection because they
made afidavits that the rival lines are MAX
ing rebate of 81 to So on Chicago tick
cts, and also to secure an equal division of
all the traffic. The Albert Lea route has
met the cut of the other lines by drop to
$3 for first-class rebate ticket to Chicago,
selling tickets at $40 and refunding 81 in
Chicago. The other roads have not vet
openly met this cut but undoubtedly will

WASHINGTON. Nov. IS. 1882.

DEAR SIR:-The late election has made
federal office holders a sad and funeral
looking set, and the general complaint is
that the avalanche seems to have no end
Democratic rejoicing is loud and expressed
and democratic politicians are making vows
OF good bahavior, now that they are in
power that exceed in vehemence and
scope the regulation and reform resolu-
tons passed on New Years day by the
average citizen The sweep seems to be
complete and the republican dependency
correspondingly great, in fact it bears
great resemblance to a sinking ship and
the desertion of the rats. The result is
mostly attributed to the tariff commission,
the failure to reduce taxation and the ar
bftrary action of the bosses in several
States although the Iowa result depended
on these causes and the prohibition ques-
ton combined. The contest for the
speakership has already begun, and while
Sam Randall will doubtless poll
some strength, yet it is generally recog-
nized that Carlisle is the man. He is not
only a power in himself, but will unite in
his support all the Western members, and
in addition to all thisand above all this, Is the
leading exponent of tariff reform, which is
not only now the dominant issue, but is the
one that the democratic leaders and follow
ers feel is most strongly demanded by the
people. 1t is hard to find a protectionist
here, outside of the Pennsylvania men and |
q few rOck-rooted republicans who have |
decided to sink with cClors flying. Pcsi- |
lent Arthur has not yet returned from New |
ork; but every train brings in hosts of |
clerks who had gone home to vote, and |
Nho now seem to think that the Hubbell |
was enough to ask of them
without this lncieased expenditure BY |
he way, they now talk of investigating |
he expenditure of that fund, and making /
Hubbell show what he did with it. Outside |
IF politics the city is quiet.
