SATURDAY. November 16, 1889. 
At 1:45 P. M. Friday, November 8, Col. 
William Cassius Goodloe, Collector of In¬ 
ternal Revenue of the Seventh Kentucky 
District, and Col. Armstead W. Swope, ex- 
Collector of Internal Revenue under Hayes, 
both among: the most prominent leaders of 
the Republican party in Kentucky and 
highly esteemed and honorable men, but 
bitter political rivals, met in the post-office 
at Lexington, Ky., and after fiercely glar¬ 
ing at each other and uttering some 
angry words pitched in with * chival¬ 
rous savagery to kill each other. Goodloe, 
48 years old, a member of the Clay family, 
was armed with a clasp-knife, the tradit¬ 
ional weapon of the Kentucky Clays; 
Swope, 50 years old, a native Kentuckian 
also, was “heeled” with a pistol. Swope 
fired first, hitting Goodloe in the abdomen. 
The latter then fiercely carved his antago¬ 
nist and, though receiving another shot, in 
a few moments inflicted over a dozen cuts 
oil him before he fell on his face and died. 
With the coolness and bravery of his race 
Goodloe waited inevitable death till the 
following Sunday, when, after joining the 
Episcopal Church, he died surrounded by 
his weeping family and friends at the hour 
when Swope’s body was being lowered into 
his grave. Roth were good men ; neither 
would be guilty of an ungentlemanly ac¬ 
tion ; neither wanted a fight; but both 
were prepared for one, and through a false, 
semi-barbarous code of honor each became 
at once a murderer and a victim, plunging 
the families of both into distress and their 
hosts of friends into sorrow. The terrible 
lesson is sure to produce good, but at what 
an appalling cost!. 
Last Monday President Harrison com¬ 
pleted the work of converting three Terri¬ 
tories into four States by issuing a procla¬ 
mation admitting Washington into the 
Union. Montana was admitted the prev¬ 
ious Friday, (November 8) and the two Da¬ 
kotas on November 2. There are now' 42 
States in the Union, the original 13 having 
more than trebled. For 13 years the 
number had stood at 38—since August 1, 
1876, when Colorado, the “Centennial 
State ” was admitted. How long until 
other stars shall be added to the flag ? 
Wyoming, with all requirements, is loudly 
knocking at the door already; Idaho is 
much better fitted to be a State than Ne¬ 
vada; Utah would already have been a 
State w'ere it not for Mormonism; New 
Mexico—well New Mexico, why shouldn’t 
she too soon join the Sisterhood ? . 
The Catholic Centennial Jubilee, commem¬ 
orative of the 100th anniversary of the es¬ 
tablishment of the Catholic hierarchy, or 
form of government of the Church in this 
country administered by the bishops and 
clergy, opened with great splendor at Bal¬ 
timore last Sunday. Over 1,(MX) prominent 
laymen from all parts of the country and 
an extraordinary gathering of church dig¬ 
nitaries lent force and solemnity to the oc¬ 
casion. Many eloquent speeches w r ere 
made, but that of Honore Mercier, Prime 
Minister of Quebec, and the most promin¬ 
ent French-Canadian delegate, has created 
the!greatest sensation. He spoke glowingly 
of the extraordinary increase of the French- 
Canadian population in the Dominion and 
the Union. He expects they will become, 
ere long, the dominant race in Canada and 
New England. There is among them a 
strong and growing desire for annexation 
to the United States or at least ultimate 
independence of British rule. The im¬ 
memorial antagonism of the French and 
English races has become deeply embittered 
in Canada by the exasperating stimulant of 
active religious hostility. The Protestants 
are loud in threats and the Catholics equally 
emphatic in defiance, and the future out¬ 
look is by no means amicable. 
According to a decision just rendered by the 
Supreme Court, N. J., a law' passed in 1878 
is unconstitutional, though under it the 
boroughs of Sea Island City, Somer’s 
Point, Ocean City, Avalon, Anglesea, Holly 
Beach, Cape May Point, South Atlantic 
City, Beach Haven, Barnegat City, Lava- 
lette, Point Pleasant and Atlantic High¬ 
lands were incorporated. These are all in 
debt, the outstanding bonds aggregating 
over 8250,000. This indebtedness will be 
worthless unless the N. J. legislature shall 
pass a law rectifying all mistakes. 
Boston capitalists have made preparations"' 
for sinking wells on the south shore of the 
Gulf of St. Lawrence in Canada, expecting 
to develop a rich oil field there. Boston re¬ 
finers having been driven out of business 
since pipe lines w'ere laid from the Penn- • 
sylvania oil regions to New York, Phila¬ 
delphia and Baltimore, expect to get a fine 
supply of Canadian oil near home. 
All the Philadelphia oil refineries have 
passed into the hands of the Standard Oil 
Trust, and the Pennsylvania Railroad Com¬ 
pany proposes to discontinue carrying crude 
oil. The oil-producers of Western Pennsyl¬ 
vania, therefore, find themselves at the 
mercy of the Pipe Line Monopoly controlled 
by the Standard. It is said that to escape 
from oppression, they have raised $6,000,000 
to build an independent pipe line to some 
point on the Atlantic coast. The route of 
the line has not been disclosed lest the 
Standard should succeed in blocking the pro¬ 
ject.Owned personal property—chiefly 
cash and bonds—to the amount of $628,989. 
95 and still committed suicide the other 
day ! Surely Oliver Garrison, lately of this 
city and formerly of California, brother of 
the late Commodore Garrison, must have 
been crazy to be guilty of so big a folly and 
so unexpiable a crime. 
Astonishingly large as the desertions from 
our army are, those from the Marine Corp 
are still larger. Out of 1,823 enlisted men 
515 deserted last year—considerably over 
one-fourth !.It, appears that the 
greatest Democratic gains in the recent 
elections occurred in rural districts. This 
being an “ off” year in politics, it is claim¬ 
ed that the farmers, not feeling themselves 
constrained by party ties, voted according 
to their convictions. Even in Ohio where 
the Democratic party and candidate for 
Governor openly made the campaign on the 
basis of “free w T ool,” large Democratic 
gains were made m country places. The 
anti-Tariff feeling is said to have helped the 
Democrats in the country, and the anti- 
Proliibition feeling had the same effect in 
the towms.Dave Wambold, the well- 
know'n “negro” minstrel, died in this city 
last Sunday night, aged over 50. He left 
between $75,000 and 8100,000.Vola- 
puk, the “ universal language,” is gaining 
ground in this country and elsew'liere. 
More than 2,000,000 people are now' study¬ 
ing it; 2,000 books have been published on 
it; 30 periodicals are devoted to it, and 600 
societies for its advancement have been 
organized—so say its advocates.The 
first sod of the Nicaragua Canal was form¬ 
ally turned on October 22. Much of the 
preliminary work in the way of clearing 
the route, laying dow n a railroad for the 
transportation of men, supplies and materi¬ 
als, and setting up a telegraph line, has 
already been done in a business-like man¬ 
ner, and the outlook is good. 
In Ohio the auction for the seat in the U. 
S. Senate now occupied by “Standard Oil” 
Payne, is quite brisk. Calvin S. Brice, 
millionaire Chairman of the Democratic 
National Committee, and millionaire man¬ 
ufacturer Thomas, of Springfield, are now' 
the most likely bidders.Ellis, a 
Texas negro, is striving to obtain con¬ 
cessions of land from the Mexican Govern¬ 
ment for a large negro colony from the 
South. Many high officials favor the pro¬ 
ject; but the white Mexicans are generally 
against it: they think the Indian popula¬ 
tion is quite as much of an “off color ” ele¬ 
ment as they ought to contend with. 
A convention of the Knights of Labor has 
been in session at Atlanta, Ga., during the 
week. No officers are to to be elected: 
changes in the constitution and other 
matters alone claim attention. Federation 
with the Farmers’ Alliance, Equal Wages 
for Women doing Men’s Work, Children’s 
Labor, National Banks and Governmental 
Control of Railroads and Telegraphs, were 
the chief topics discussed. The member¬ 
ship of the order has fallen off from 700,000 
three years ago, to about 200,000; but it is 
claimed that the internal dissensions 
w'hich were the main cause of this decline, 
have been eliminated, and that the order is 
now' increasing and prospering. 
In the National Women’s Christian Tem¬ 
perance Union, which has been in session 
at Chicago during the week, there have 
been several discordant breezes, the gus¬ 
tiest of which arose from a difference of 
opinion among the members as to the ad¬ 
visability of the association taking an 
active part in “practical politics!” The 
majority voted in support of such a policy, 
whereupon the Iowa delegates withdrew. 
It is said that many ministers and other 
well-wishers are withheld from supporting 
the organization on account of its participa¬ 
tion in “politics.”.The Western Union 
refuses to agree with the rates for send¬ 
ing Government messages fixed by Post¬ 
master-General Wanamaker on October 30, 
last. It says that his reduction amounts to 
an average of 40 per cent., and that to do 
the business at that rate would entail a 
dead loss upon it.The Pan-Amer¬ 
ican excursionists returned to Washington 
last Wednesday, after just 42 days’ absence, 
during which they had traveled 6,000 miles 
on the same train, drawn by the same en¬ 
gine, with the same set of officers—the 
longest trip ever made by the same train. 
All were greatly surprised as well as 
f (leased with what they had seen and de- 
ighted with their treatment. After pleas- 
u re, work!. 
The Secretary of State of Missouri warns 
the Missouri companies that have joined 
the Lead Trust, the Cotton-seed Oil Trust 
and the Linseed Oil Trust that unless they 
at once withdraw' from the Trusts in com¬ 
pliance with the lately passed Anti trust 
Law', he will straightway take measures to 
annul their charters. They’ll probably with¬ 
draw.All our w'iiulow-glass makers 
are forming a “combine” : “ to low'er the 
price of glass,” they say, “by cheapening its 
manufacture;” “to raise the price of glass,” 
t he people know', “by forming a monopoly.” 
The w'ould-bemonopolists are “protected” 
by an import duty ranging from 55 to 125 
per cent, on competing goods from abroad.. 
FOREIGN NEWS. 
Saturday, November 16, 1889. 
Years ago the Boers of the Transvaal 
Dutch Republic of South Africa enacted a 
strong protective tariff. The country luts 
of late been rapidly populated, and the 
Pretoria government made no allowances 
for the fact. Droughts have of late ruined 
the crops and destroyed vast numbers of 
sheep and cattle, so that a famine now pre¬ 
vails throughout the country. The gov- 
vernment has abolished all tariffs on food¬ 
stuffs and established forage depots here 
and there and is giving bonuses to wagons 
bringing in provisions from the English 
possessions to the south. The government 
of Natal, the nearest of these, has offered a 
bonus of $5,000 to the first 50 provision 
wagons starting for Joannesburg, the cen¬ 
ter of distress, where food is now selling at 
famine prices. Recent rains promise to 
mitigate the destitution soon. 
The new French Chamber of Deputies met 
Tuesday, with a Republican majority of 
154, and a fair prospect of a harmonious 
session, as there is a healthy inclination for 
compromise among the warring factions of 
the majority...I otters f rom ex¬ 
plorer Stanley, lately received at Zanzibar, 
say that he and his party expect to reach 
that place by the middle of next January. 
They hadn’t reached the place w'here Dr. 
Peters and his people were massacred, 
however, and their arrival at the coast may 
still be delayed by hard fighting. Assist¬ 
ance and supplies will be pushed rapidly 
forw'ard by the New' York Herald and the 
German authorities at Zanzibar. 
AGRICULTURAL NEWS. 
S\TURDAY, November 16.1889. 
The proprietors of the Lakeside Stock 
Farm at Syracuse must be bard to please if 
they do not experience feelings of satisfac¬ 
tion over the numerous prizes won by the 
animals comprised in their herd of Hol- 
stein-Friesians. The animals have been 
shown only at the largest fairs in New' 
York State, and have never been shown 
outside the State with two exceptions. At 
the New York State Fair at Albany, N. Y., 
the animals from this establishment won 
all the first and all the second premiums in 
the Holstein-Friesian class, except on two- 
year-old bulls, where they did not compete. 
The first was, how'ever, won by a bull bred 
at Lakeside; they also w’on sweepstakes 
prizes on best bull and best cow of any age, 
also the special prize of $100, offered by the 
Holstein-Friesian Association for the best 
herd of Holstein-Friesians on exhibition. 
The firm also won the sweepstakes, seven 
first and two second prizes on Clydesdale 
horses ; sweepstakes on French Coach stal¬ 
lion, and several first and second prizes on 
PercheroDs, Roadsters, and others. At the 
Buffalo International Fair, their stock 
also took a large number of prizes. Their 
bull Netlierland Statesman took sweep- 
stakes prizes for best male of any age. 
Netherland Prince and four of liis get 
took first prize for bull and produce, be¬ 
sides w'hich a large number of other ani¬ 
mals took first and second prizes. In the 
Horse Department they were also very suc¬ 
cessful. entering stock in 17 classes, and 
winning 16 prizes, including the $600 prize 
for Clydesdale stallion and four of his get 
won by Rufus and his progeny. Besides 
the prizes won by the firm, large numbers 
of animals bred by them and sold to other 
parties, took high honors at the Bay State 
Fair, New England Fair, Rhode* Island 
State Fair, Wisconsin State Fair, Illinois 
State Fair, and many other State, district 
and county fairs. The firm and the stock 
deserve all the honors received. 
The New York State Dairymen’s Associa¬ 
tion will hold its 13th annual convention 
at Ithaca, N. Y., December 10-12. A cor¬ 
dial invitation is extended to all, especially 
to w'omen and young men. Suitable space 
will be provided for the exhibition of dairy 
products and utensils. Governor Hoartf, 
of Wisconsin, Major Alvord, Prof. W. W. 
Cook, of Vermont, Col. Curtis and other 
noted dairy writers and speakers have 
promised addresses. Josiah Shull, Ilion, 
secretary.The Kausas State Hor¬ 
ticultural Society will hold its 23d annual 
meeting at Paola, December 3-5. All local 
horticultural societies are requested to send 
delegates. Space will be provided for the 
exhibition of seasonable fruits and horti¬ 
cultural products. Entertainment will be 
provided. G. C. Brackett, secretary, Law¬ 
rence.The Dunellen Phosphate 
Company has been organized in Florida 
with a capital of $1,200,000. It is intended 
to develop 3,000,000 acres of new' phosphate 
land in the State. 
The United States Consul at Jamaica re¬ 
ports that an exhibition will be held on 
that Island during the wan ter of 1890-91, 
under government auspices. A large space 
will be given to exhibits from the United 
States, which will be admitted free of duty. 
The consul thinks the opportunity a good 
one for the exhibition of sugar machinery 
of American manufacture.Secre¬ 
tary Rusk has just written a letter to the 
President calling attention to the fact that 
the House of Representatives failed at its 
last session to make an appropriation for 
the printing of the annual report of the 
Department of Agriculture.The 
exports of pure-bred horses from England 
are said to be on the increase though the 
destinations vary considerably. The Lon¬ 
don Live-Stock Journal gives the distribu¬ 
tion of the exports for the nine months end¬

same periods in two preceding years as

The value of the exports to the United 
States seems to have fallen off, while those 
to France, Holland and “ other countries ” 
have increased. The latter include the 
shipments to South America. 
The California State Board of Trade have 
another train of three cars about completed

Wednesday afternoon, and were entertain¬ 
ed by him at his house in the evening.
