THE GALL TO DUTY
[From the New York world.I

u rom Ine NE" OIh w Ollu'J
The World did not agree with
President Wilson last month in his
opinion that the election of Re-
publican Congress would be in any
sense a reputation of his Admins
tration, and of course we do not ac-
cept that view to-day.
The present Democratic Congress,
acquitting itself admirably in many
ways, is chargeable with grievous
sins of omission and commission. As
The World said more than a week
ago, this Congress has yielded too
often to narrow sectional and sectar-
ian influences. Some of its leaders
have made themselves the obedient
and humble servants of Republican
marplots. A few of it's members
have carried their pacifism and pro-
German demagogY of neutral days
into the fierce strife of war. Con-
demnation was invited.
1t is the Sixty-ffth Congress and
not the President, therefore, that is
in disfavor, and there can be no
question of the recognition of this
fact abroad as well as at home
when, in spite of many misrepre-
sentations and misconceptions
everybody is made to understand
that on this occasion the people
were electing a Congress and not a
President.
More regrettable. in our estima-
tion, than any political changes that
have taken place is the spirit of par
! tisanship which has been awakened
and for this the President cannot be
! held blameless. The World said at
the time, and it says now, that his
! interference with the nomination
and election of members of Congress
in various states was unwise and
! calculated to defeat the very pur-
pose that he wished to promote,
Americans have always responded to
! true White House leadership, but
| they have just as consistently re-
sented White House intrusion upon
! their local affairs. There never
! should be repetition of this error.
AS we can imagine nothing much
worse for the country in its present
situation than a CONTINUATION of the
venomous partisanship recently in
| evidence, we must entreat Dem ocrats
as we'll as Republicans to remember
| that the interests at stake transcend
| in importance the welfare of any
political organization or the future
of any politician. The call to-day
F., is to duty. Those who give closest
| heed to that summons will have the
| fewest reasons for regret and
apology hereafter.

Indications are that the Congress
ional delegation from Pennsylvania
in the next Congress will consist of
twenty-nine Republicans, six Demo-
Gratis and NJ. Clyde Kelly at the start,
but that contests to be inaugurated
least one Democrat who is apparent
ly elected on the face of the returns
The present delegation consists of
twenty-eight Republicans, seven
Democrats and Kelly. 1t is believed
that Kelly, who had all the nomina-
tions in his district, will go into the
Republican caucus. This will mean
thirty Republicans. The Democrats

in special election, went down be-

The Democratic state windmill last
night claimed the election of John

in the Luzerne district, but Repub-
lican state leaders say that with
some of the soldier votes not in yet

in the official count the windmill is
revolving too fast for its own good.
IN the Lackawanna district charges
that the election of McLane, the
wet Democrat, was counted in are
said to be in process of drafting. In
any event there will be contests from

unknown in Pennsylvania politics.

"Kerensky and Korniloff got off. Men

How Death Came
AS the mob pushed closer and closer
upon the general, Krylenko stormed
and shouted, but no one took any no
tice. With a single blow the general
was struck down by tall sailor from
the rebel cruiser Aurora. Dukhonin
got on his feet again once, his face
streaming with blood. He tried to
speak but a dozen bayonets were run

BRUTAL MURDER OF BRAVE RUSSIAN GENERAL
BY MOB Of |NFUR|ATED B0LSHEVIM SAILORS

PARIS-A vivid picture of the cir
cumstances of the murder, by infur-
lated Bolsheviki, of General Dukhon-
in, formerly COMMUNICATIVE chief of the
Russian army, is given by the Petro-
grad correspondent of the Matin, who
apparently was an ye-witness OF the
tragedy. According to his story En-
sign Krylenko, the Bolsheviki COM
mander-in-c chief, endeavored to save
General Dukhonin from the mob but
his efforts were unavailing and the
Russian commander was struck down
by sailor and then run through with
dozen bayonets.
The murder took place after the Boil
sheviki had captured the headquarters
of the Russian army at Mohilev and
followed General Dukhonin's refusal
to request the German army officials
to enter into an armistice with the
'Bolsheviki. The general was on board
a train when the mob surrounded him.
According to the Mathis correspond
ent the general appeared at the
window of his railway carriage.
'.Let Them Kill Mel"
Throw us your epaulettes!" shrek
ed the soldiers, cor we'll kill you,
and they shouldered their rifles.
Krylenko begged the general to give
way to them, but Dukhonin refused.
"They can go to the deuce" he cried.
Let them kill mel"
Kill Him Right Out
A bullet whistled by, breaking the

Jeff went up to DukhOnin and gently

favorable to the shipper. The marke1
has shown a splendid strength in bott
the cattle and hog departments with 9
substantial advance In the range Of
prices paid.
While the receipts and volume OF
business in the cattle department were
not large, the prices were rs to SO
cents higher in the different classes,
reaching an $11 top on steers, and an
$3.50 top on COWS. The top steers
showed an advance of about 25c to 35c,
while common to medium stuff and
COWS showed an advance OF 35c to
SOC. Buying was very active and be-
fore the noon period on Monday ar
rived the entire offering had changed
hands and the yards were cleared.
Three or four loads of steers sold
for lie straight, and as many more
sold for $10.65@11.75. The great bulk
Of the steers offered went at $10@11.
About six loads of COWS sold for $3.50
and as many more at $8@850. Com
mon to medium stuff showed a sharp
advance, with about half enough sup
ply to meet the demands of the market.
The following quotations are current
in the cattle department.: Medium to
