A DUEL TO THE DEATH.

NEW YORK, Sept. ga special
to the Tribune from st. Louis says
a duel was fought at Cotton wood
Point, No., late last night, In which
both contestants we're killed. On
Saturday afternoon two strangers,
seemingly the best of friends, en-
tered the town and began drinking
heavily. Both were armed and
finally got into dispute over the
merits of a bale of cotton. The
discussion resulted in a fight in
which the larger of the two was
worsted. Not satisfied, he demand
ed a fight and suggested that to
prevent undue advantage on either
side, they clasp their LETT hands
and fight with their right. This
programme was carried out and
seven shots were fired. The large
man, who made the proposition to
fight in this manner, was instantly
killed, three bullets going through
his body and one through his head
The other received three bullets
and died in fifteen minutes. Meth
or of the men were know in the
town, but they were Unidentified to-
day az Matt Perry and James
Oakley, farmers, who live fifteen
miles southwest Of Cottonwood.
The bodies lay side by side to-day
in the warehouse and were visited
by all the town people and hun
dreds from the county.

A PIucky Young WOMAN.

On Friday evening last a new
lot of prisoners were received at
the Jail at Camden, ). g., an inse.
cure building, for some time in
charge of Miss Gaskins, because of
the Illness of her father, the jailer.
As the prison was crowded, nine OF
the prisoners were locked up in an
old cell which had not been used
for some time. In the night one
of the prisoners managed to get
out of the cell into the corridor, and
by some means procured piece of
iron, with which he broke the lock
and released the other eight. They
Immediately began prying off the
bars from one of the windows, and
in a few minutes all of them would
have been free. At this juncture,
however, Miss Gaskins heard the
noise. The plucky little woman at
once picked up bar of iron, unlock
ed tho opter door, and rushed into
the corridor, where the prisoners
we're working at the window. She
drove every one of them back in.
to their cell, in short order, and
kept guard at the door until the
sheriff arrived and took charge of
the jail and managed the prisoners,

desperadoes, and one convicted

Gen. Fitz Lee Declines Challenges to
Engage in Joint Discussion With
Hon. John s. Wise.
LURAY, VA, 2S.-.-There was an
immense turnout of the farmers
and laboring men Of Page to-day,
the largest known for twcntyyears.
Wise aud Lee were both present.
A joint discussion was rendered
Lee, which he declined, as will be
seen from the statement below.
Wise addressed an audience Of 700
voters in the court house yard in a
speech Of two and a halfhOurs with
a power and effect uneQualed in the
history of Page. His vastaudience
listened with the most marked at
tenlion to every sentence uttered
by him, and Notwithstanding the
fact that he repeatedly requested
his audience not to interrupt him
by applause, he was frequently
greeted with spontaneous outbursts.
You may look with certainty for
an old-time majority in Page foI
the entire Republican ticket.
Lee addressed less than 300 vO.
ters, and his followers look crestfal.
len tonight. They feel that this
was bad day for the bourbOns in
Page. OF Lees audience from -
to 100 men were from adjoining
counties, and at least seventy.fve
ladies and a number of boys helped
to swell his crowd. The attempt
ed cavalry parade and military
display, considering the immense
efforts made for weeks, was simply
a ridiculous farce.
At the instance of Wise aproposl-
ton for joint discussion with Lee
was submitted as follows; Gen.
Lee to open ina speech ofone hour,
Wise to follow in one hour and a
quarter, Lee to rejoin in a half
hour, Wise to close in quarter of
an hour, or at Lees option to re-
verse the proposition aud let Wise |

refused, very much to |

TO discuss with his competitor the |
record and policy Of his party. The
proposition was submitted three |
separate times, and each times re.
fused by Lee.

AGRICULTURE AND PROTECTION.

The object of Protection is to Sc
cure to the producer the home
market, and the amount of Protec-
ton which any industry receives
cannot be estimated by the amount
of duties collected on rival products
imported, but by the extent to
which the duty imposed secures to
it the benefit Of the home market
Not many months since foreign
flour was offered in New York by
foreign house at a less price than
the same grade were sold there, but
the tariff stood in the way. There
are those who think that wheat
can be produced in India so cheap
with the labor, which costs next To
nothing, that it can be sold in the
United States at a price below that
which the American producer can
afford. But for the tariff on sheep,
Canada would send us much larger
droves Of sheep than it now does
from every point across the border,
and the industry in Vermont,
Maine and New Hampshire, whics
is largely remuneratlve because the
manufacturing towns make a con
slant market for mutton, would be
injured. The fifteen cents per
bushel duty imposed upon potatoes,
while it does not greatly enhance
the price of that farm product, one
year with another, saves our people
the home market in seasons OF
plenty. The Springfield Republi-
can very properly denies the oft
repeated assumption that agrlcul-
ture is dying out in New England
1t is not; on the contrary, the
New England farmers can raise
more now than will bring money
than they could before the fertile
prairies of the West were opened.
They can do this because the towns
which the so called protected i'll
dustries have built up make a
market foT products which the
West cannot send them.
Statistics show that agrlcul'
ture in the midst Of varied indus
tries is much moro remunerAtiye
than in those sections where 1t is
about the only industry. Now
remove the protective tariff from
the towns which make market for
the New England farmers, and what
will be the result? When the Nor
rison tariff bill was under discus
sion prominent paper IN England,
representing the manufacturers
there, said that it would make it
possible for the English manutac-
turer of cotton, wool, iron, ETC.,
to sell $500, 100000 more of their
products in America. That would
mean $500, 900 900 less to be manu-
featured here aud the closing of our
factories. This done, what would
become Of New England farmers
market in our manufacturing
townsi TO say that only those i'll
dustries are benefited by protec-
ton which are directly protected
is as absurd as to affirm that only
those persons are protected by the
laws for the punishment OF theft
who rescued from thieves by the
officers of the law.-Philadelphla

THE RECORD.

Attorney. General Blair has only
drawn the allowed and customary
fees for extra services mob imposed
by upon his Office. Yet, in any
view, all the extra fees he has
drawn for four years Stated at
something over $4,000 will not
equal the outlay appropriated by
the Bourbons for extra counsel in
one year. Their former record in
this line, too, is even worse.
Now see the record:
Among the first acts of the
BourbOns in 1884 was one to APP
propriate 81, 900 as a fee to Il. p.
cambridge as extra counsel
On February ODD, 1884, the
Bourbon Usurpers authorized the
Auditor to expend for counsel
$1,000 in the prosecution of a suit
against S. Brown Allen aud John
Il. Hamilton.
March l, 1884, the Bourbon
Usurpers authorized the Auditor,
"upon such terms as may be agreed
upon," to employ additional connsel
in the coupon suits at Washington.
MesSrs. Staples, Garland and
Merrick were employed, upon a
promised fee, each, of $780,
total, S7,5OO-and for nothing
In November, 1884, the Bourbon
Usurpers appropriated $500 out OF
the State Treasury to pay John w.
Daniel and Walter II. Staples, en-
ployed by BOSS Barbour, as counsel
for the Bourbon State Committee
before the Court of Appeals in the
Congressional Gerrymander case!
The Bourbon Usurpers apprOprl-
ated 81, 800 to three Bourbon law
yers to "revise and digest" the
laws of the State-One of these
walter r. Staples) being now en-.
gagged diligently as a Bourbon
State Canyasser
These usurpers also authorized
the Auditor to employ advisory
counsel (Mr. Incredibly at a cost of
$500 year.
All of the above, mark, except
the appropriation to revise the
laws, is the regular official work of
the Attorney. General. There is no
extra official work, except that
noted; and Attorney-General Blair's
record shows that he was fully
equal to it.
