Terrible Fight Between Stations.

CINCINNATI, Oct. 23.-The Enqutr-
err has Vincennes special describ-
ing rafting fight between two stall
lions. The animals were being ex-
hibited at fair, when a team of
horses ran away and darted among
the blooded stock. Instantly all was
commotion. The blooded mares be-
gan neighing, which two stations
seemed to interpret as a sort OF bat
tie cry. They broke away from their
keepers and dashed at each other
like mad. Both snorted terribly,
and the fire seemed to flash from
their eyes. With open jaws they
bit each others necks, paving and
tearing up the ground for space
of 20 feet. At last by some means
they got loose, and, each backing a
few feet, they whirled and commenc-
ed kicking each other. The sharp
corks on the hind shoes drew blood
from the tanks of each and left enor-
nous welts and cuts. Then one OF
them, with an instinct that seemed
human, suddenly whirled to the right
and grabbed his opponent by the
neck, trying at the same time to get
his fore feet upon his shoulders.
They struggled and struggled, the
sweat and blood pouring from their
wounds.
The farmers about were panic
stricken. A couple of cowboys got
stout ropes and tried to lasso them.
This was no easy effort, and attend
ed with considerable danger. Be-
fore it was accomplished the animals
made a final vicious dash at each
other and while linked in each 9TH
er's ferocious embrace the cowboys
got in their work and succeeded in
securing them. They were deliver
ed over to the keepers, who led them
away covered with blood, limping,
lame and sore.

Arose From Her Coffin.

BRooKINs, Oak, Oct. 21.-A week
ago Mrs. Alexander Young, who has
been in poor health for some time,
came to town to take the train for the
east for medical treatment, but while
here grew worse and was taken to a
neighbours house, where she remained
until Thursday, when it was announc-
cd toat she had died. Arrangements
were made for the funeral, and Friday,
when the coffin was being trimmed,
she came out of her stupor, and is
now conscious. Her chances for re-
covery are good.

A Few Nice Questions for West Virginia

Democrats to Answer.
Why are you In favor OF free wool +,
free lumber and free salt, and not in
favor of free rice and free sugar ?
Are you in favor of keeping up the
internal revenue system
Why is England in favor of Cleve-
land and his policy2
Why Is every Free Trader in the
land for Cleveland and the Mills bill2
What possible or reasonable ex-
cuse could Protective Democrat or
a Republican have for voting with
your
If protection Is good for the sugar
industry Of Louisiana, why would
not protection be good for the wool
and lumber industries OF West Vir-
ginia and the ore and iron industries
Of Pennsylvania and Virginia !?
Nearly every poor man nses tobac-
co and every poor family uses sugar
and rice, and yet the Democrats fa-

The Merits OF vestibuled Trains.

The chief merit claimed for the
vestibule appliance is that it efiectu-
ally prevents telescoping Of cars In
case of collision, and the second great
advantage lies in the fact that the
new device entirely overcomes the
swaying motion impaired to. ordi-
nary trains when rounding curves at
high speed. The Limited Express
running via b. 81 @. II. II. between
Philadelphia and Chicago, is com
posed entirely Of Vcstibulcd Cars,
the Baggage Cars, Day Coaches,
Dining Car and Pullman Sleepers all
being fitted with Pullman's Patent
Vestibules.
All cars in the train are heated by
steam drawn from the locomotive.
Porters are in attendance in the Day
Coaches, as well as in the Sleepers,
to look after the wants of passengers.
The entire train runs through with
out change between Philadelphia and
Chicago via Washington and Ralti-
more, and no extra fare is exacted
from passengers holding tickets Of
any class.
The b. 81 O. Vestibuled Limited
leaves Martinsburg at ! o'clock r. NJ.
daily for Chicago and at 3.l2 p. NJ.
daily for Washington, Baltimore and

CORRESPONDENCE
Ed. INDEPENDENT :

The Republican party of Berkeley
has given the people an excellent
ticket,--strong and reliable men.
Buxton needs no special notice, for
he is a part of the history of the
county. His colleague, Mr.. Joseph
Kitchen, is having the brunt of the
fight. Every effort is being made to
beat him, and every wind is ladened
with perfidious lies. Who is Joe.
Kitchen For years he has lived
here with US, loved by all, pushing,
quiet and kind hearted. No man
ever went to him in want, that he
did not help him. He has done more
for our people and valley than any
man in it. Like his venerable father,
he is shrewd business man. His
planning mill and saw mill keep busy
goodly force. He is trusted and
respected here, at home. Although
in business life for twenty years,
dealing with men of all dispositions,
selling and buying, he has yet once
to sue, or be sued by any man. Is
not this testimonial of which to be
proud? Defamation can't hurt such
a man. The Republican party should
rally around him in this fight. Ev-
cry effort will be made to beat him,
by violent and partisan leaders, but
both democrats and republicans will
stand up for honesty, fairness and
good citizenship. Joe ISLANDERS none,
he treats all with kindness and never
seeks to defraud or mislead those
who live about him. Remember, the
strongest fight is being made against
him, and don't swop in this contest.

SEVERAL complaints come to us
from various quarters in regard to
poles being cut down, professions
stoned, ropes cut or some other act
committed which should never occur
in q, civilized community. Every
good citizen and every right minded
person will condemn actions OF this
kind no matter by whom committed.
No votes were made by this kind of
campaigning, unless it was for the
party wronged. The good citizen and
the man who has the welfare and sue
cess of his party in view will be as
jealous in defending an opponents
property as he would in defending
that of his own party. Of course it is
only boys or men who have not taken
a manly view of this subject that give
cause for complaints like those referred
to above. On the other hand no par
tisan should seize upon the trivial act
Of an opponent in hurrahing for bis
favorite candidate or other like exhi-
bition of enthusiasm, as pretext to
commit an assault and If he does SO
he should BIO prosecuted to the full
extent Of the law.

now CANADA VIEWS 1T.
The Treaty Is the First step Toward
Reciprocity.

MONTREAL Feb. Accommodating upon the
fishery treaty, the Go.tnc, the government or-
gan, says: ut is step toward that reciprocity
which the Canadian government has long
been anxious to obtain and have often been
blamed by their opponents for not obtaining.
The whole treaty, we think, can be regarded
with satisfaction, both rs definition OF Can
Ada's rights, as r provision for reciprocity ia an
important Industrial product, and chiefly as
removing the cause of dissatisfaction with our
nearest neighbor."
The Herald says. "The President, 1t itappears.
has prepared state document expressive OF
his pleasure at the motives that HCtuated all
parties in making the usual comments on the
preservation OF peace, the promotion OF inter
national harmony, &c. No one questions the
motives of the Gnited states, and those Of
Great Britain and Mr.. Cha mberlain are tora
bly, plain; but what Sir John McDonald,s
motives may have been in Compellihg Sir
Charles to surrender time only will show.
Whatever II may be, the fact remains that
piecemeal the rights, possessions, and interests
of Canada are abandoned to the United states,
and so we presume II will continue as long as
Sir John remains in power, until there ro.

IRON AND STEEL IMPORTS.
Value OF tho Impurtations for 1887 ns
Agninst 1856.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. o2.-Tne imports OF
iron and steel in lSST amounted to l,7S3,2jl
tons against l,OoS,564 tons 10 1856 and OF
iron ore 1,19I,3Ol tons against 1,03o,4i3
tone In 1856. The value OF iron ana steel
imports Ifor 1857 was $50, ,42O.540 against
s4l $3.50, 40 in lSSG: OF irou ore the valus
was So 2OG, ,95S against 81 ,0l2, ,437 in 1856.
II was predicted by the general manager

er that, II the heavy importations con.
tinutd, collapse OF the American iron
trade would eventually follow. The heavy
importations were not stopped, and before
Congress convened in De ember the de-
mand for almost all kinds Of iron and steel
had declined, and So had prices. The
heavy importations Of iron and steel have,
however, been followed by reaction I'm
ports slightly declined in October, and In a
more marked degree In November and De.

January. The exports Of iron and steel

4 Glve-away "Treaty."

The alleged fisheries treaty which the
President sends to the Senate with his APP
proval will not be ratified. 1t is sad to re-
feet that work of which Mr.. Bayard has
boasted as an extraordinary triumph OF his
diplomacy should fail utterly to meet the
requirements OF American interests. II
the administration really had at heart any
object except to make treaty on any
terms and be rid Of the subject, It has been
sadly overreached by the willy Britons.
With reference to the rights of the United
States, the treaty gives us nothing. 1t 10
an abortion.
A fair Interpretation OF Mr.. Bayard's
work justitles the conclusion that bis desire
to accomplish something in diplomacy has
overbalanced his judgment as to what is
demanded. Whether he asked II or not, he
has received nothing. Whether willingly or
rot, he has given away a good deal. He
places the headline controversy just where
fair Interpretation OF the question has
always placed 1t. He has made great pa
:. rade Of receiving the rightta nurrhsss-nas
fact every nation but ours has that right by
/ the law common to all commercial nations.
Ard for this common right he gives, first, for
two years burdensone tonnage license on
United States fishermen, and, second, the
prospective freedom OF our markets to Ca
madam fishermen.
There is nothing new in this unique in
suument, by courtesy called treaty, which
the British commissioners demand and the
administration comedies, toward the policy
Of free trade in Gol. For that great
privilege the Canadians Will give us only
rights which other nations have for nothing.
Tie privilege will not be given. There is
10 reason why the United States should
sacrifice the cherished policy of protection
TO its industries in order to obtain Ordinary
commercial rights.

How Long Win They Vote Against
Tbemselyes?

The southern people, and particularly OF
Virginia, West Virginia, and North Caro-
lina1 have made special requests OF the
t.tieth Congress for two legislative acts
Firet, that 1t should repeal the tax on to-
tacco; and, second, that it should pass the
Blair bill for aid to common schools.
The first act is solely within the control
'f the Democrats OF the House, they hay
majority of that body, which alone
can originate revenue bills. They have
organized the machinery of the House SO
that hS no possibility can the Republican
minority even rake up for consideration
any subject distasteful to the Carlisle
junto. The Democrats are in the twelfth
week Of their reign In that branch. What
Lave they done? Every measure which
has been introduced to repeal or reduce
the burdens OF the internal revenue imposi-
tiops has been pigeon-holed or sent to the
tomb guarded by Boss Mills's committee.
That committee never will allow the House
10 vote on the repeal OF the tobacco tax
as an Independent measnSa.-.--T6cjr
