John T. Miller of Fort Reno, Okla,
while seated in group at the Laclede
hotel, pugilism being the topic of con-
versation. said:
when you talk about fight to a
finish and Knockout blows, both are
witnessed in the aboriginal degree of
perfection when a fight between two
Indian bucks is seen in ring, the cir
cumstances of which is not rope, but
a string of interested human spec
tators. 1t is fact that among Ind
ians of the same tribe. though they
may rumber thousands, there are few
cases of quarrels among them that
ever result IN murder. This is strange
when it is remembered that the Indian
is passionate, uncontrolled in his i'm
pulses. cruel and ferocious by nature
They have their difficulties and quar-
rels. however. but arbitration of the
old men prevents bloodshed or murder.
Yet once in a while fight occurs,
and it is novel sight to witness. One
buck challenges another to combat,
and. accompanied by their friends to
the battle-ground, each buck is stripped
to the nudity SO pleasing in high cult
ured art schools among the pale faces,
and made to confront the other. Be-
tween them lies war club-a smooth,
long piece of hard wood, seasoned by
years of service and regarded as sort
of mascot because of the blood stains
on it received during war. The sec
onds of the surly looking duelists toss
up a piece of bark on the wet or the
dry principle, when boys long ago
chose sides in playing town ball. The
winner picks up the club, and his
opponent folding his arms, sturdily
plants himself, bending his head. 1t
is the club-bearer's privilege to whack
his antagonist just as hard as he can,
and with all the vigorous malicious
ness he can command on the back. 1t
is foul blow to strike above or below
the back. One blow is struck, and
then the man who has endured it picks
up the club, and his opponent is sub
jected to all the force he can COM
mand. So the whacking goes on, and
almost every blow is knock-down
one. until the duelist last knocked
down rises to his feet and refuses to
accept the club from his opponent He
has had enough and the party breaks
up.
The severity of the punishment in
flicted and endured in these duels is
marvellous. The club used has a
jagged edge, and every blow struck
brings blood, making deep cuts and
fearful bruises. / have seen two such
fights, and they are brutal and nau-
seating in the GOODNESS of their pro-
cedure and the appearance of both
contestants after victory is won and
defeat confessed. ~ Globe Democrat.

elints From eaumer's Shield.

Ben Butterworth says the republican
party would never pass another Nc
Kinley bill if they had it to do over,
and Ben. knows.
Poor old Forakeri Nobody seems to
care except his ''blowers and strikers"
what he says or does. Nobody pays
any attention to it.
Mckinley was the ring leader and
chief looter in the billion dollar con-
gress, of szunk-like memory. Ohio
farmers will please remember that.
1t hasn't yet struck the ranting pro-
lection idiots that they are making a
holy show of themselves by bowling
about the only free trade provisions of
the infamous Mckinley bill, free sugar
and reciprocity. What sightl Don't
the silly things see themselves as others
see them?

The Near Horse Fed the Off Horse

would like to tell you what l saw
from my window on Huntington ave-
nue. to-day. A handsome team of
horses stopped near our door, where
the grass looked temptingly green.
The near horse munched the grass
contentedly, which the off horse tried
in vain to reach. Suddenly, to my
astonishment, the near horse raised
his head with his mouth full of grass
and held it near his companions
mouth. The off horse accepted the
apparent invitation to eat and took
the grass from the other ones mouth.
After turning and eating a while on
his own account he repeated this
maneuver, and l then called in the
other members of my family to watch
them. There could be no mistake
about it; the horse who could reach
the grass fed his companion at short
intervals as long as they stood before
the door.-Our Dumb A1ineals.

will be either Campbell or Mckinley,
and in order to make McKinley's defeat
sure we will vote for Campbell, and
then the balance of the peoples ticket.
That is a very sensible view. In that
way they show their entire strength in
their own ticket and at the same time
help lay out Mckinley, the fraud and
false prophet.

Mexico Following a Bad Example.

Mexico, instead of looking towards rec
iprocity with the United States, has just
passed a new tariff law which possesses
all the distinguishing features of the Nc
Kinley bill Instead of decreasing duties
she has largely increased them, in some
instances as high as $50 per cent, and
the peculiar feature of this tariff is that
it's malignancy is directed against the
Omitted States. The highest duties i'm
posed are against those articles which
are produced by the people of the
United States. Mexico has not forgot
ten the reciprocity fasco which occur
red during the administration of Presi-
dent Arthur Our minister to Mexico,
Mr.. Foster (recently so active in the re-
ciprocal treaty with Spain) succeeded

ali over the country by the protected
interests. 1t was denounced as an en-
tering wedge, the object of which was
to make an insidious attack on the pro
tective principle. The president urged
it's adoption, had interviews with the
leading republican senators and ever
brought the discipline whip into play
1t was all to no purpose. The confrma

Glessner, of the Hancock Courier,
says this well:

to insure McKinley's defeat. They

By the above table it will be readily
seen that the foreign manufacturer of
the article of window glass, which we
imported into the United States in 1890,
not only made US a present of the glass,
but gave us $125, 600, the difference be-
tween the worth of the glass and the
tariff duties for taking it.
If it be true, as the protectioniSt af-
firms, that the foreign seller is as gem
erous as this shows him to be, that he
is not only willing to give away his
products but to pay US to accept them,
protection certainly offers us an easy
way not only to become the richest ma
ton on earth but to absorb all the
riches of other nations.
The Cotton Manufacturers associa-
ton will soon close down the mills at
Fall River. 1t took the first step last
week, when by vote of twenty-nine
out of the thirty-three corporations rep
resented in the combination, it adopted
a resolution declaring ''some action
should be taken toward reducing the
cost of the production, and unanimous
ly recommends that reduction in the
wages of operatives be made, to take
effect October 5, 1891" The 'tprotec-
tion'' for these corporations was in
creased by an increase of taxes through
the Mckinley bill, and since that bill
was introduced there has been decline
of upward of two cents pound in the
price of raw cotton. So, though there
is higher tax for buying foreign cot
ton goods, though these operations pay
the cotton grower 2 cents a pound less
for the raw material than before the
Mckinley bill, they resolve that the
time has come to cut wages again, and
they set the date for the cut. In these
establishments @here the time has
come to cut wages again there are
over 80, 900 persons working for less
than dollar day-under the McKin-
ley bill-and so 'the American IL borer
is protected. .''-Wyandotte Union
