that has been smoldering in the Thirteenth,

somewhat sarcastically to w. c. B. Harri-

appointment by Mr.. Miller had not proved
source of unalloyed satisfaction to the
Republicans of Elkhart county. As a re-
suit Mr.. Harrison was on the warpath last
evening, and when he was seen at the Eng

to Mr.. Brown, first. however, taking a

We occasionally smile at the fondness of
the Englishmaa for a prize fight or anything
in the way of fisticuffs, but the national trait
has its good points after all, and there arise
frequent occasions when we might wish the
American would resort to this comparatively
harmless method of defense instead of
the ready appeal to deadly weapons or the
still more dangerous and cowardly demand
for mob violence. An instance in point oc-
CURED on Sunday night at the Union Sta
ton, when an overofficious negro with
watchman's badge came pushing through
the crowd and knocked down a woman with
her infant in her arms. Demands that he
reply the offender fourished revolver. The
timely arrival of the police put end to
a situation that was dangerous, to say the
least. 1t was proper occasion for the use
of fists. Had some man in the crowd quickly
come to the defense of the woman by knock
ing the negro down the chances are that
the difficulty would have ended then and
there and no further damage done. The
ending of the incident as it did was. Of
course. better, but the police are not al
ways on hand so promptly.
An old-fashioned fist fight has become very
rare In America. When men brawl, as men
of a certain grade of intelligence will, it Is
invariably the revolver, the knife or some
other weapon that comes into play, and the
result is a tragedy which means death or
a period in the hospital for the one and a
term in prison for the other. There is
something cowardly about the use of weap-
ons in an individual encounter that is re-
pugnant to the Anglo-Saxon sense of man.
illness, but the cowardliness of the man that
calls on the crowd to assist him in violence
is even more contemplate. When the sit
uation is such that officers of the law can
not be reached in time, and peace is i'm
possible, the real man will, last re-
sort, defend himself or others with the
weapons nature has provided him. and will
look to bystanders for nothing more than
fair play.

been found however.
