The Mystery Of a Duel.

Having fought his duel and saved
his honor by firing shot in the air.
the editor Of 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 bulle, 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 placer"
he asked. The editor was as much
In the dark rs 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 sign Of reconcilia.

in his thigh was simply one Of the
mysteries Of dueling.

would not be obscured by the passions

the news Of his death reached Missouri

honor to his memory. They then real.

above friends and foes. All the state
was In mourning and his funeral at

forty thousand people.

would have been a different story to

So Benton won LIES battle by sim.
pie honesty, by perseverance. by hav.
ing ideals and remaining true to them
in sunshine and In shadow. His influ.
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.

losing he gained for all time. For hin

was largely produced in Missouri. In
this he made the mistake that has
been made by so many senators and
congressman OF this day. who say they
oppose protection. but vote for pro-

After the election OF Andrew Jack.

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 II 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 flercely for years. It
had many powerful adherents and OBJ.
tanned the support OF 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 q
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 16, 1887" Jackson
deeply appreciated the value Of Ben
tons support and years later, on his
deathbed, said to friend: Tell Col
Benton am grateful"
Benton was the supporter Of Jack
sons successors to the presidency
particularly Of Van Buren, and Polk
but after Andrew Jackson. the presi
dents up to the Civil war welded lit

fore. and were largely engaged In q
game Of hide-and.seek on the slavery

il did not represent the sentiment Of

| ter and intense. As Benton was up

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 a 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 a Union Democrat.
For thirty years he had been absolute
dictator In the politics OF Missouri
His word was final, and his wishes

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 regaincd his seat In the senate,
but he would have lost the love and
admiration due the brave man who
prefers 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.
teal 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
well. His public and private life were
above reproach. His high sense Of
honor us 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 fighter eminently
qualified to lead and represent the
militant people Of 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 "A years old, but as
vigorous and robust rs ever. Without
lamenting his fate or the peoples In
gratitude. he cheerfully took up the
completion Of his Thirty Years
View" giving a mental picture Of the
important events In the history OF oul
country with which he had been con
nected. In 1858 he died In Washing

lie misunderstanding that had wreck
