The dissatisfaction brought
about by the two state conven-
tions recently held by the oppos-
ing forces in this state is melting
away and each side is lining up
for the great battle to occur in
November, Both parties-as a
whole disappointed in the
selections made, but like dutiful
soldiers, have swallowed the dose
and are ready to respond to the
orders of their commanders.
The fight will be a hot one and
while a great many of the leaders
of the republican party are calcu-
lating. on this being a republican
year, it might be well for them to
remember that their opponents
are workers from away back and
will neither spare time or money
to carry the state. The repub-
lican party of North Dakota has
it's workers, too, and don't let
them forget it.

that but So a year could be col

The fusion state ticket nOmin-
ated at Fargo last week is a sad
disappointment to the rank and
file of the combined parties while
it is a very pleasant surprise for
the republicans. tits about the
weakest ticket to our notion ever
put up by the fusion forces in
this. state. The nomination of
the notorious Col. Creel for con-
gress ensures the election of Mr..
Spalding by a large majority.
The fusion forces have missed
the grandest opportunity of their
lives to put up a strong ticket
against the opposition and have
signally failed. The way it looks
now the entire republican state
ticket will be elected easily.

The indications now are that
the war " i'll he over inside of two
weeks-practically. If it is then
the people of this country have a
great deal to be thankful for and
much to be proud of. To think
that in ninety days a country
could muster and equip an army
of 100000 men. go to war and
whip another country with so lit
tie loss of life and property, is in
deed wonderful. The war has
been handled in ~ manner that
should meet with the approval of
all and the outcome certainly re-
fleets creditably upon the able
craftsmanship of President Nc
Kinley aided by his very able
cabinet. The war will have cost
this country up to the end of this
week the sum of 100000, 900.
This is a vast sum when you
come to look at it but it is money
well invested. Spain can hardly
hope to get off without giving up
a few lines of valuable territory
under the circumstances. And
as Porto Rico is considered one
of the most healthful and valuable
islands in the West Indies, from
a political, physical and defensive
standpoint, our Uncle Samuel can
use it very nicely.

DUELS IN THE OLD WAY.
Fought Between English and
American Officers.

1t was the third year of the century
! that the frigates Chesapeake, New
York, John Adams and Enterprise were
in the harbor of Malta. There was
every kind of bad feeling in the minds
of the Englishman of the day, still
sick and sorry over the loss of the
| thirteen best colonies of the crown. And
this had taken the form of insulting
the officers Of the American navy upon
every possible Occason-or, rather it
was to take that form upon this par
ticular evening, when a number of the
Americans We're ashore for the purpose
Of attending the theater. The private
secretary to the British Governor was
a notable duelist of the old fire eating"
stripe, who had already killed as many
Of his countrymen as a Western deS-
perado has tenderfeet. and he propos-
ed to vary his diet, as he boasted by
| having a Yankee for breakfast the
next day"
So he looked over the little group of
Americans and prudently selected Mid
shipman Joseph cambridge, a mere boy
at the time, as his victim So he walk
ed by him, while he was speaking with
friend, and deliberately jostled him.
1t was not so much this-for the mans
braggadocio had not come to his ears
but the jaunty way in which the Eng
lishmain walked away which aroused
in his mind the notion that it was a
piece of British insolence. Just then
Lieutenant Stephen Decatur came
along, and, as he was not without ex-
perience, cambridge referred the mat
ter to him. 1T will not be difficult to
learn whether it was intended as an
insult or not" he said. and they We're
turning to go to the Briton, when he
came by them.
Those Yankees will never stand the
smell Of gunpowder." he remarked
loudly to a companion, when Balm
bridge knocked him down. AS soon as
he could get to his feet there was
challenge. of course. The matter was
referred to Decatur standing by, and
he ordered Bainbridge (only a boy I6
years old. remember) to go aboard his
ship and give himself no further
trouble. This done, Decatur and the
second of the Englishman arranged the
details AT the rising of to-morrows
sum- said our lieutenant. I'VE will meet
at the beach. Our men will stand
back to back. AT the word March,
they will each take two steps, turn and
fire" The Englishman protested, call
ing 1t murder. But Decatur explained
that his man was an inexperienced boy,
who had been selected with apparent
reference to his youth and ignorance
by much older man. The plan pro-
posed was the only one which placed
the two on any even footing. But"
Decatur added, IF the terms seem
harsh. permit me to take the place of
my friend, and 1 will fight at the usual
ten PAGES. But, as this was not the
Englishman's intention. and as the
challenged had the rights in the case,
it was settled in that way.
Then the gallant Stephen went back
to his ship and called up cambridge

He was a rash and impetuous young
lawyer, who had just had a decision
given against him by the Circuit
Judges. He had made a hard fight and
the result was a crushing blow to his
youthful ambition
Il cannot reconcile this finding with
the demands of justice." he shouted, as
he looked defiantly at the Judges.
1t was an outbreak as startling as
defiant. While the court had its sew
eral heads together with a view to
determining what penalty should be
meted out for this glaring offense, one
of the oldest practitioners at the bar
arose and addressed the Judges:

according to Maclay, after shooting
through his hat at the first, Balm
bridge laid his adversary dead. 1t is
matter of further history that Sir
Alexander Ball. the. British Governor
Of the island, made so great a trouble
over the sudden taking off of his secre-
tary that it was deemed wise to order
Lieutenant Stephen Decatur, Jr, home
for Il season.
After the war of 1872, in which the
naval success of the Americans trans
cended anything in English history, the
British officers had their feelings kept
in a continued state of laceration by
the presence in European waters of the
ships which the Americans had cap
tured. This brought on a number of
duels. The most famous of these was
composite affair wherein an Ameri-
can lieutenant was publicly insulted by
six Britons at Gibraltar. He chal-
lenged them all for successive morn
ings. The American killed the first
four. When the fifth morning arrived
the customary party of principals,
seconds and surgeons We're riding up
to the scene of battle, the American
on poor horse, the English officer on
good one. Suddenly crowd was seen
approaching, evidently Englishmen,
though they We're disguised as high
waymen. The officer OWNED their
purpose instantly. They have come
to kill YOU he said with deep indig-
nation at so cOwardly a plot; take my
horse and run. We can settle our dis
pute at any time" The second joined
in his principals opportunities and the
American escaped. 1t ended in a good
natured apology on the part Of the sur
viving Englishmen, and the American
accepted the explanations in the spirit
in which they were offered, bringing
good feeling to every one concerned.
1t is poetic injustice that Decatur
should have fallen at last by the hand
of Barron, one of his own country
men, after having done SO much to
sustain the honor of the flag and the
service in various parts Of the world.
