Saturday morning announcing the
death of John w. Becker, the proprie-

James Woods and Capt. Tucker went
over Saturday to embalm the body
and prepare it for shipment to his old

Mr.. Becker was one of the most
prominent citizens of Logan, and his
sudden death comes as shock to his
many friends over the county. He
came to Logan some six or seven
years ago from Lenora. The Sympa-

Congress as a Prize Ring

The best evidence of the fulfil
ity of all attempts opunish Sen
ators Tillman and McLaurin
effectively is the history of physi-
cal encounters on the floor of
congress. These have been 60
ing on from the origin of the gov
eminent, the only difference be-
ing that encounters with fists on
the floor have taken the place of
encounters with pistols on the
banks Of the Potomac. Duels
were the natural consequence of
early encounters in congress that
passed the verge of mortal endur-
ance. It must be confessed that
the procedure of the field of honor
was more dignified than that of
the prize ring. It cost some val
liable lives, but it kept up the.
average standard of manners on
the floor. There were many
bloodless encounters in the early
day, and some wounds added
glamor to forensic reputation.
Clay and Jackson fought their
|duels with shoals of smaller men.
Finally Cilley, Of Maine, was kill
ed in duel with Graves, Of Ken
lucky, and congress passed a law
prohibiting duels in the District.
This did not put an end to them
at once. because Virginia and
Maryland were near, but the
practice soon died out.
This was more than 60 years
ago. Since then there has been.
a constant series OF physical en-
counters on the floor Of both
houses. The Benton Foote affair
in the senate resem bles most that
now occupying public attention.
Senator Benton made an attack
much like that of Tillman, which
Senator Foote parried with a
pistol. The Brooks Sumner af-
fair was not and encounter, but
a cowardly attack from behind.
Though it occurred on the floor Of
the senate, that body was not in
session. These encounters oc-
Cured in the excited years be-

WHITEHEAD'S record for tax re-
for measures is too well known
to be questioned. He has been
an ardent supporter of reforms in
taxation, and just and equitable
assessment of all property, for
years. There is nothing blatant
about the GAINESVILLE senator, but
his ideas are good, and he is a
man who never deserts his prin-
ciples, not even for the sake of
party. Such d man as he IS the
proper kind of material for the
republican party to select to lead
it's battles in the campaign that is
to come.

BILE rows in the house Of repre-
sentatives. Few of these are re-
membered, except for some lud-
icrous incident, like the pulling
off of Mr.. Barksdale's wig, or the
Potter challenge with it's bowie
knife repartee.
After the war there was more
dignity and self restraint in the
senate, until the political up
heavals of the last few years
brought into it a number of men
having the personal habits and
manner Of the early frontiersmen.
The old practices were first re-
vived BY scraps in committee
rooms. as when Senator Black
burn pulled Senator Chambers
ear, and gradually spread from
there to the floor. The history
of physical encounters in the
house is nearly unbroken. Hard
| ly any congress is wholly free
from them, and some eminent
men have been involved. Samuel
J. Randall and William r. Morri-
son both figured in scraps in
their time. The latest actual as
sault was in 1895, when Brecken-
ridge. ofKentucky, struck Heard,
of Missouri, for calling him liar.
Now it does not appear that
any of those disgraceful affairs
in either house has been effective
ly punished, or thatany measures
have been successfully taken to
make them more infrequent. If
they diminish, it is with the gen
eral amelioration of manners in
the more settled parts of the
country, and this improvement
is neutralized by the constant adj
mission of new senators from
more free and easy communities.
This must come to an end some
time, with the reduction of man
ners all over the country to the
dead, tame level that prevails
from New England to the Middle
West, unless we should bring in
bolomen from the Philippines, or
excitable Latins from the West
Indies. improvement depends
altogether on the personal char
acter of the members. Both
senate and house seem poWerless
to effect any improvement by
measure of discipline. Minnea-

A FEW discordant notes are
heard now and then because the
German Prince Henry is being
royalty entertained everywhere
throughout the country. These
same people who are doing the
kicking against what they call
ssfunkeyism" would be the hrst
people to resent anything not
looking like proper honor accord
ed to Americans representing
their country in a foreign land.
They want Americans to be
treated generously everywhere,
but fail in the fine feelings OF
courtesies due other great men
of foreign countries. But Prince
Henry seems to be a fine fellow,
and is easily winning the hearts
of Americans everywhere even
those who have proclaimed loud
est against him as showing him
the great honors OF the country.
