the future and saw the approval OF
coming generations whose views
would not be obscured by the passions
and excitement of the moment When
the news of his death reached Missouri
there was an entire change of sentl-
ment and all classes united to do
honor to his memory. They then real
lied that the mightiest man of Mis-
souri, was dead, the man who lowered
above friends and foes All the state
was in mourning and his funeral at
ST Louis was attended by more than
forty thousand people.
Saved Missouri to Union.
1t was the fight Benton made that
enabled others, when the war came,
TO keep Missouri in the Union. II Mis-
souri, had seeded there probably
would have been a different story to
tell than that which came from Apo
mattox
So Benton won life's battle by sim
pie honesty, by perseverance, by hav-
ing ideals and remaining true to them
in sunshine and in shadow His infu-
ence will be felt for good as long as
this republic lasts, and the failure to
secure political preferment at the end
of his life by giving up the fight &C
centuates the grandeur of his charac-
ter. He lost for tie moment, but in
losing he gained for all time. For him
there was victory in defeat The les
son of his life is-it is not essential
always to win, but It is essential to
keep the faith.

and resolution was passed demand
in territory north of the Missouri COM
promise boundary and instructing the
senators to vote accordingly. Benton
denounced this resolution as treason
able and refused to obey it. He said
1t did not represent the sentiment of
the people of the state and he appealed
from the Missouri legislature to the
Missouri people. The struggle was bit
ter and intense. AS Benton was up
for reelection, 1t being the close of
his fifth term as senator. the effort
was to control the legislature which
was to elect the senator for the fol-
lowing term. Neither side obtained a
majority of the members and dead
lock resulted to be broken by the anti
Benton Democrats combining with the
Wings and bringing about Benton's
defeat.
The old warrior was not dismayed
and kept up the fight. In 1852 he was
sent to the lower house of congress
from st. Louis as Union Democrat
For thirty years he had been absolute
dictator in the politics of Nilsson
His word was final, and his wishes
law, but the tide bad turned, and for
the remaining years of his life set
steadily against him. Yet at no time
In his career does Benton present a
more inspiring figure than when, with
his back to the wall, crowded on every
side by foes, he continued to battle for
the principles he believed in. BY COM
promising and by trucking to the pub
lie sentiment of his state he could
have regained his seat in the senate,
but he would have lost the love and
admiration due the brave man who
rrefers defeat with the right to vic
tory with what he considers wrong.
Benton's mannerisms were marked
and did not tend to make him popular
with the masses. He seemed egotiS-
tical to the point of absurdity, yet in
him it was merely exaggerated SELF
respect. To the casual observer stern
and pompous. he was gentle and ten
der-hearted to those who knew him
we'll Els public and private life were
above reproach. His high sense OF
honor as a public servant, his incor-
ruptible integrity, his unwavering ad-
herence at whatever cost to the prin-
ciples he believed in, his powerful in
tellect and his aggressive energy COM
bined to make him a fighter eminently
qualified to lead and represent the
militant people CT the West In the first
half of the last century.
He was defeated for reelection to
the house In 1854, and In 1856 became
the candidate of the Union Democrats
for governor, and ran third in the
race. He was now IA yesrs old, but as
vigorous and robust as ever. Without

gratitude, he cheerfully took up the

Tn. Mystery Of a Duel.

Having fought his duel and saved
his honor by firing a shot in the air,
the editor of a French provincial
newspaper went back to his desk and
the incident had quite left his mind
when he felt something strange in
his thigh. He looked and found that
he was bleeding profusely.
A doctor was called, who discov.
cred that a bullet was embedded in
the editors thigh some two inches
deep and required extraction. why
was this not taken notice of on the
spot where the duel took place?"
he asked. The editor was as much
in the dark as the doctor. At the mo-
ment of the duel he had fired into
the air and his adversary also took
a distracted sort of aim. There had
evidently been no intention of doing
the slightest harm on either side.
The editor felt nothing as he left
the field and had shaken hands with
his antagonist as a sign OF reconcilia-
ton. How a bullet came TO be lodged
In his thigh was simply one OF the
mysteries Of dueling-

After the election of Andrew Jack
son to the chief magistracy Benton be-
came the right arm of that great presi-
dent. In the ATTEMPTED notification
OF the tariff laws by South Carolina,
Benton made effective Jacksons ulti-

passage of a compromise tariff bill
which stopped everybody from talking
of fighting, but satisfied nobody.
Fought United States Bank.
Jackson's greatest battle was
against the United States bank, which
he declared must either be put out of
business or it would run the govern
ment. Benton led this fight in the
senate. He brought up the question
In 1881 by submitting a resolution to
the effect that it was not expedient to
re-charter the bank. The war against
the bank ragged f1ercely for years. 1t
had many powerful adherents and OBJ
tanned the support of a number of
members of congress, as was shown
later by investigation, through what
amounted to brazen bribery in the
way of favoritism on loans. In the
midst of the fight the presidential cleo
ton of 1892 took place and Jackson
was triumphantly reelected. Shortly
after this Jackson made an order with
drawing the public funds from the
bank This precipitated a tremendous
public uproar and the senate adopted
resolution censuring Jackson for
the act Benton Immediately began a
fight to expunge this resolution from
the record, and finally in the last days
of the Jackson administration, the mo-
ton prevailed amidst great excitement
and the resolution OF censure was ex-
plunged by having black border
drawn around 1t and across its face
the words: ''Expunged by order of the
senate. January Is. 1887" Jackson
deeply appreciated the value of Ben
tons support and years later, on his
deathbed, said to q friend: Tell Col.
