May End In u Duel.

Congressman Boatner and Watson got
into a quarrel yesterday during the ses-
sion of the Cobb investigation committee
that may result in resort to arms
Mr.. Cobb explained that while arguing
the NOyes- Rockwell case he was ex-
hausted by overwork on the matter and
an attack of grip, and that he took a
little beef tea and whisky but was far
from drunk.
Mr.. Watson also made statement
saying he had not intended to bring
Judge Cobb into this matter personally.
His charge was general one, and in
tended to reflect upon the House for
permitting such action. He still be-
lieved that Judge Cobb was intoxicated
Then hot words were exchanged be-
tween Mr.. Watson and Mr.. Boatner,
each affirming that he would not avoid
the other. Friends of Boatncr and Wat
son fear personal encounter may result
from the quarrel. Both come from
states where the code duello is recognized
and both are fearless men and have re-
cords as coming out victorious in previ-
Gus affairs of honor.

A Memorable Sight.

WRoCEsTER, Mass, July 31.-CrOwds
who came to see Professor Blonde Viii
lis balloon ascension on Friday, wit
messed a sight they will not soon forget.
A heavy thunder storm came up and
the balloon escaped from the crowd try
ing to hold it. One luckleSs spectator,
Benjamin Long was caught by the right
foot in a loop of the anchor rope and
carried heavenwards head down. The
balloon shot upwards. Long was swayed
to and fro in his frantic endeavors to get
into the parachute. Two Thousand
waited with bated breath to see the un-
lucky man Drained on a house chimney
or dashed to death on the ground.
From the very first Long made efforts
to save himself. His poor old mother
was in the crowd and was almost para
lived with horror as she saw her son
hanging by his foot. Far up in the
gloom and darkness flashes of lightning
revealed his position in the air and just
when death seemed certain from collision
with the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation boathouse he caught by chance
the cutoff rope of the parachute and
and dropped like a shot fifty feet. Then
the big umbrella filled and he landed
safely.

lT takes ten columns of space in the
New York World to recapituate all the
strikes which have occurred in protected
industries in this country since the Me
Kinley law went into effect. The mag
nitude of the list is astounding even to
those who have long been convinced
that protection" protects capital in its
aggressions on labor. Sixteen days after
the act went into effect l 200 miners at
Dayton, Tenn, struck against II reduc-
ton of wages. That was the first; it
has been followed by more than four
hundred and seventy-five strikes against
reduction of wages under the operation
of the Mckinley tariff. AS the World
expresses it, there has been no instant
of time since the Mckinley tariff act
went into effect that there has not been
in progress, somewhere within the
United States, strike against Il proposed
reduction of wages in some protected in
diistry.

The news from Alabama, says the
Philadelphia Record, is full ofencourage-
ment for the Democratic party. The
election of the Democratic candidate for
governor by a rOusing majority over a
coalition of the Farmers Alliance, the
Republican party, and dissatisfied Demo
Gratis, after a rattling campaign, puts an
end to the fear that the South can be Sc
duced from its old allegiance by any
side issue. The South is solid. The
leaders of Democracy may, therefore,
give their undivided attention to keep
ing the Democratic states of the North
in line, and to pushing the battle for
tariff reform i'll Massachusetts, New
Hampshire, Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin,
Minnesota and Michigan.
The result in Alabama cleares away
the smoke. From henceforth the battle
will be a battle waged in the debatable
states of the North. The Republican
campaigners will throw no more money
away in dalliance with the Farmer 5
Alliance The soup that was in that
dish has been split. They will concen-
trate their efforts, and their cash, in an
attempt to repeat the achievement of
1883, when they really purchased the
presidency with the fat" friend out of
protected manufacturers.
The people of the United States at the
first opportunity Indignantly repudiated
the apparant bargain by which the con-
! tributors to the Harrison campaign fund
were repaid in tariff legislation for their
cash outlay. They will now have the
opportunity to thrust out, neck and
heels, the president as well as the Con
gress which came into power as a result
of the election of 1888. Nothing seems
surer than that the votes of the country
will make the best of their opportunity
The Republican party has done nothing
| to deserve further trial.

NEVER have American work lngmen,
saws the Harrisburg Patriot, had a plain
er issue upon which to cast their ballost
than they have this year. They have
had plenty of time and abundance of
opportunity to determine the worth OF
the Republican measures they have been
asked to support, and the only thing
now necessary is for them to form
opinions upon their observations.
The old cry of free trade and low
wages is being dinned into their ears IN
the old style. Well, suppose the tariff
be lowered, what then? Their wages
cannot be made any lower than they are
now becoming. Wages OF American
workingmen are less than by 50 per
capita than they were few years ago.
They are being reduced in the protected
industries more than in any other. Let
any man who belongs to a union OF
workingmen employed in protected
industry examine the reports of wages
paid to members during the existence of
that union. Let him examine the re-
ords of strikes and lockouts and note
why they were declared. There can be
no more eloquent teacher of the tallac-
iousneSs of protection than the records
of protected workingmen' 5 unions.
1t is denied that lower tariff will cause
lower wages The tariff was reduced on
steel billets, but Mr.. Frick said that had
nothing to do with the reduction OF
wages at Homestead. The tariff on su-
| gar was removed altogether, yet work
| ingmen in the sugar industry have suf'
fered no reductions of wages in conse-
Uuence, neither has American sugar been
driven out of the market. Indeed, in
comprehensive as it may appear from a
Republican standpoint, the production
and sales of American sugar are actually
increasing.
While the wages of workingmen are
being reduced the purchasing power
of his money also becomes smaller; he
| loses doubly. He loses the amount OF
money cut from his usual income and
he pays IA tax to the protected manufac-
turer Every workingman knows that
! he must pay tax upon whatever he
| imports, but there are some who forget
that they pay an equal tax upon articles
manufactured here, the only difference
| beiup that the tax on imDOrtS goes into
the national treasury while the other
goes into the pocket of the manufacture
er and that the latter is far the greater
| in amount.
The issue is plain, and no working
man can afford to ignore it. In fact
no workingman will. He has been
fooled but will no longer play the foo
| for anybody's enrichment.

believe you assert fact when you
say Ellison never asks what

don't think he has sny politics on

1t is true, also, as you state,
that Judge Ellison has always re-
fused TO countenance any Demo-
cratic nomination for that Office
in his district until this year. But
last winter q change came over
the spirit Of his dreams He had
this district remodeled and Shelby
