THE LEDGER
THURSDAY, SEPT. 4, 1890.
Tbers were 14,951 people at the
Mexico Fair on "big Thursday"
that we know of.
The anti-Horse Thief Aesocia
tion of Audrain county is growing
and should be a power for good in
the land.
Every citizen in Mexico should
make it his businese to keep his
alley clean aud hit sidewalk in
good repair.
Rei'L'bucaxs who are wise will
rally under Jim Blaine's banner
Jim Blaine, as we have often said,
is the biggest man in his party.
Every stockholder in the Mex
ico Fair should be in favor of in
creasing the capital stock and
securing a kite-shaped mile track.
Mexico needs a Board ot Trade
composed of Buch men as consti
tute our fair directory. This state
ment will bear repeating every
day.
The Youngs Creek Club is push
ing arrangements to have a grand
rally of Audrain Democratic clubs
in Mexico this fall. It will be
success.
Geo. Kabhich is home Irom an
extended tour through California
He says in the world over there is
no place like Mexico and Audrain
county.
There has already been snow in
Pennsylvania. This is merely
precursor of the snowing under of
Quay and his man Friday, Delema
ter. in November.
Col. fcjwiTZLER. the young and
handsome widower who edits th
Columbia Statesman, says:
handsome widow should either be
married, buried, or placed in
convent."
We appreciate highly the letters
of comendation from promminent
citizens of Kansas City, heartily en
Morsing the position taken by the
Ledger in regard to the Kansas
City Sunday Sun.
Hon. Nat. M. Shelton will
speak in Mexico September 25th
and D. C. Allen, of Liberty, will
hake us up on the same day. They
are a couple of the best Democratic
talkers in the State.
In the past the Republicans
have been claiming to "carry
Missouri this fall." This time
they claim they, will "carry Mis
souri in two years." By their own
admission they are getting further
and further behind.
Ths suits filed against the Sala
mander Company will be watched
by the public very closely. A
core at least of other cases will
follow if these are gained. The
complainants claim that they can
not stand the smoke, and the Sala
mander Company of course can not
pay any such damages as are and
will be asked.
It turns out just as we expect
ed. No merchant wrote the card
so signed in the Intelligencer,
Cookie wrote it all by his little
self. No merchant ever saw the
card until he saw it in print. At
the same time our contemporary
ays "tie would have preferred not
to publish the article." Now, crawl
into your hole and stay there.
J. M. Sims had one and one-half
acres of potatoes this season, which
yielded 225 bushels. He is selling
them at from $1.30 to $1.50 per
buBhel. Who is it that claims
com ia the only crop to raise in
Missouri? The Ledger has always
held that our people do not pay
enough attention ta other crops
than corn.
It is a shame and disgrace the
way the Democratic party is being
butchered in the 8th and 9th Dis
tricts of Missouri. A lew cheap
politicians are apparently having
their own way, and as a result the
Republicans will again carry these
districts. It looks to the Ledger
as though the State : Democratic
Committee should interfere and
save the districts. The complex
ion of the next House of Congress
may depend on such an action
The districts are both Democratic
when delivered from the toils of
the grog-shop gang who are now in
control.

land. Not long ago a similar con
dition of things prevailed in New
York, where tons of fish were
dumped into the bay when the
Itriking cloakmakers went hungry.
Somehow the great law of supply
and demand, which political econo
mists makes so much of, does not
always seem to work well. Some
body ought to be able to devise a
scheme by which the surplus of the
world's products can be brought to
those who most need them.

ST. LOUIS LETTER.
Filley and the'Silks An Inde
pendent Ticket Threatened
The Muddle in the 8th
and 9th Political
Gosxip.
pecla) Correspondence tf the 1-edger.
Sr. Louis, Sept. 1. As usual,
the two political parties of this
city are in a state of demoraliza
tion. The committees of both
parties imagine that they are dele
gated to make the nominations and
formulate the policy of the cam-
mi . -.
paign. ine voters do not agree
with them on this point, and are
oflering objections to the mid
night caucuses at which tickets are
made, only to be indorsed by the
. .... .
aeiegates selected for that pur
pose, in convention assembled
Much dissatisfaction exists, and
the more conservative of the two
parties speak seriously of running
an independent ticket. The Fil
leyites and the Silk Stocking wing
of the Republican party are pull
ing against one another like so
many kilkenny cats, and it seems
almost impossible for them to unite
witn any degree oi harmony or
success upon any ticket either fac
tion succeeds in nominating.
The Democratic party is any
thing but harmonious. The 8tb
Congressional district is in a sorry
flight. The turmoil and confusion
now prevailing in that locality has
been the cause oi driving from
the contest for Congressional hon
ors all the aspirants except O'Niell
and O'Malley, and they propose to
remain and make the light to the
death, and it will be death to
either one of them who gets the
nomination, and certain death to
the party in that district. The
struggle will be so bitter at the
primary that the defeated will
carry it up to the general election
and the result will be the success
of the Republican candidate. This
state of affairs is to be regretted
aa the party throughout the State
is pulling well together, with the
brightest prospects of electing
every Congressman, outside of the
city of St. Louis, and with accept
able candidates the three so-called
city districts can be redeemed.
In the 9th diatrict Mr. James
Butler still persists in his candi
dacy and the consequence is he is
without a competitor. His nomina
tion will be the means of electing
another Republican. The strong
Democratic opposition to the But
ler regime will more that show its
strength, and the district will be
lost by not less than 4,000 ma
jority. The , immense Democratic
vote given to the Republican can
didates two years ago, was intend
ed as a rebuke to the Butle
methods in running and managing
political parties. Gov. Francis
and other respected and popular
Democrats had to suffer for the ir
regularities of that memorable
campaign. But it would seem that
the 10,000 majority then rolled up
was not a sufficient rebuff, as the
same men with. the same influences
and the same doubtful methods are
forcing themselves upon the party
again. How would 20,000 suit
them?
It is the duty of the State Cen
tral Committee to inter tere in these
two districts. The party in the
State should demand that the com
mittee take some steps by which
the people will have some voice in
making the aominations, and save
to the party the same districts that
gave to the Republicans the con
trol of the present Congress
1 his disaffection will extend
to the 10th district, as a large por
tion of it lies in the southern part
of tbe city. Unless new men
come to the front in those districts,
the entire city ticket, including 14
members of the Legislature and
three State Senators, will fall
wreck, as they did two years ago.
The State Committee must come to
the rescue and assert its rights it
is the chosen representative body
of the Democracy of the State, and
they will look to it for an amicable
settlement of a struggle that prom
ises certain defeat.
State Senator J. C. McGinnis
had been agreed upon by the Fil
leyites as the man to pit against
Sam Byrnes in the 10th district
1 he Ulobe-JJemocrat a attack: upon
him as "Filley's and tbe Brewers
candidate," had the effect of draw
ing a card from the expounder of
"personal liberty," declining the
use of his name as a candidate for
Congress. It is the first time that
the towering Senator ever display
ed the white-feather. The Filley
ites will now put up either Col
Herquemberg or Maj. Bartold
The silk stocking wing have al
ready indorsed Kinsey for re-elec
tion, who is proposing all kinds of
regrets lor tbe past and promises
tuture lealty it the hoodlums will
forgive and forget his little indis
cretion in refusing to indorse the
old man" for postmaster. Col
Sam Byrnes will have tbe distin
guished honor of representing the
10th district in the next Congress
Every gun in the Republican bat
tery will be turned against Bland
and Heard. , They believe that the
farmers are with them in this as
sault, but they will be overwhelm
ingly disappointed when the votes
are counted next Novembei. Their
wish is father to the thought. Mr
Erwin may be one of the leaders of
the Farmers' Alliance, but tbe old
Democratic farmers of the 11th dis
trict will never go back upon the
man who stood their best and truest
champion, and until tbe tillers of
the soil throughout the whole coun
try are falling into Democratic line
indorsing tariff revision and the
unlimited coinage of silver, and no
man did more to accomplish these
measures than R, P. Bland, or
'Silver Dick," as he is more fa
miliarly known. John T- Heard
will have nothing to fear.
Mr. James G. Blaine's newly
coined word for tariff reduction,
and the position he has taken
against the McKinley bill, is crea
ting quite a disturbance in the Re
publican party and its managers,
as well as the administration, are
becoming alarmed at the impend
ing situation. It is said that if the
President signs the bill in its pres
ent shape, Mr. Blaine will with
draw from the Cabinet, as he is
pledged to the opening up of trade
relations with the South and Cen
tral American States. Should he
be permitted to do so, he would
become a strong presidential possi
bility, which Mr. Harrison cannot
afford while he poses for a second
term.
President Harrison and many
leading Republicans have no great
love for Senator Quay, since his
nersistent refusal to resign the
Chairmanship of the National Com
mittee. They are satisfied that he
has become a dead weight to the
party, and are anxious to unload.
They would not grieve much it his
man Delamater was defeated for
Governor of Pennsylvania. It
might not generally be known that
Senator Quay favors Gen. Alger
for the next Republican presiden
tial candidate.

FIRE INSURANCE LAW.
Bluffing and Bulldozing a Thing
of the Past The New Law
Fills a Long felt Want.
The new fire insurance law is as
follows:
Section 5897, page 1401, of the
Revised Statutes of Missouri, oi
1889 In all suits brought upon
policies of insurance against loss
or damage by fire hereafter issued
or renewed, the defendant shall
not be permitted to deny that the
property insured thereby was worth
at the time of the issuing ot the
policy . the full amount insured
therein on said property; and in
case of total loss ol the property
insured, the measure of damage
shall be the amount for which the
same was insured, less whatever
depreciation in value, below the
amount for which the property is
insured, the property may have
sustained between the time of is
suing the policy and the time of
the loss, and the burden of prov
ing such depreciation shall be upon
the defendant: and in case the
whole property insured, ascertain
ed in the manner hereinafter pre
scribed, which the part injured or
destroyed bears to the whole prop
erty insured.
GROWING.
The Anti-Horse Thief Associa
tion Flourishing.
A large number of the members
of the Audrain County anti-Horse
Thief Association met in Mexico
on August 23. Mr. Wm. Llewellyn
was chairman of the meeting and
Wm. Vivion was secretary. The
meeting was held for the good of
the order so the members could
become better acquainted and be
more able to do good and effective
service for the public. We are
giaa to know tne order is growing
in Audrain and we are sure the
objects of the order are worthy of
the endorsemet of the entire
law-abiding public. The next
State meeting will be at Union
ville, Mo., on the 3rd Wednesday
of Oct. Audrain should be well
represented at that meeting.
In Memoriam.
The death of Mrs. Mary A. Boaz
occurred in this city on Saturday
morning, Aug. 25th, at 3 o'clock.
She was born Sept. 24th, 1815, in
Buckingham county, Va. She was
married to David P. Boaz May 22d,
1839. Eight children were born to
them, six of whom survive. Mrs.
Boaz' united with the Christian
Church in Mexico over 30 years ago
and continued in that faith to the
end of her life. She was for several
years an invalid unable to leave
her home. During this long period
she was tenderly and affectionately
caied for by her daughter, Nannie
When it became evident that the
time of her departure was at hand,
her children were summoned and
all gathered around her bedside to
say farewell. "She died in the
faith, not having received the prom
ises; but having seen them afar off
was persuaded
braced them."

at Wanamaker, Saline county, Mo.:
Whereas, In the judgment of
this Farmers' and Laborers7 Union
the conditions under which the

and conspire to render all lauda

prive all honest industry of just re
ward; and,
Whereas, chief among the agen
cies productive of these conditions
is the embodiment oi the protect
ive tariff principle into laws neces
sarily favoring the few at the ex-
Dense of the many, and the further
class legislation which has struck
down one of our coin metals there
by destroying a character of money

whereas, this farmers- ana

correction ol those leading evils
would open up the avenues to

honorable record in Congress, pecu

Resolved, That m the judgment
of this Farmers' and Laborers

To the Editor ol the Ledger.
Kankakee, III., September 2.
Dear Sir: Please nnd inclosed
picture of kite-shaped mile track
with figures on it. The work on
the track was done through a com
mittee of our' Board, under the
supervision of Jno. K. Groswell
our engineer of this place, who if
you will write bim will gladly give
all information you may desire.
Now, abeut the track; we here
think that it is the right idea for a
track;only one tarn, and that much
larger than the ordinary track and
your horses all leave the wire going
straight away lor one-third of a
mile before coming to the turn, so
you see there is no excuse for one
driver running into another. There
is no advantage in positions until
the turn is reached and then the
horses are usually somewhat scat
tered so there is no chance for one
running into another. This kind
ot a track must be fast and will, I
beheve,oe adopted by a great many
associations in the luture. 1 in
close programme of our fall meet
ing. Come over and see our track
at the meeting. Respectfully,
J. Frank Leonard, Sec'y.

ant Evening. ..
Special Correspondence ot the Ledger.
EAVER DAM, Sept. 2
Perhaps never in the his
tory of Beaver Dam was
there an event chronicled
that surpassed the lawn soiree at
the residence of Mrs. Mart Ford on
the evening of August 27. On our
way, as we drove over the descent,
at a distance of a half mile, we
could count every tree and sbruo
in the lawn ol four acres, which
was made as light as day by
Chineese lanterns; and as we got
nearer we could see that the front
and side gates each contained an
arch of evergreens. As we came
up in front we noticed a large circle
enclosed by canvas in the center of
which were six large evergreen
trees containing lights. Near the
center of this circle the tables were
erected in the form ot a cross. " It
was indeed a beauty nicely dec
orated with grasses and an endless
variety of choice flowers, artistic
ally trimmed cakes, baskets ot
grapes, etc. As we looked upon
the five hundred invited guests as
they were promenading back and
forth upon the lawn, we thought it
a sight rarely every seen at an
evening party. This multitude of
joyful people came from various
parts, Mexico furnishing quite
delegation, also Fulton, Columbia,
Centralia; Auxvasse, McCredie,
Benton City and Concord. At an
appropriate hour the invited guests
began to arrive and at 10:30 sup
per was announced, sixty people
taking their places around the
tables at once. There seemed to
be no end to the good eatables an
abundance of everything. Every
body left at a late hour amid con
gratulations and best wishes to the
committee for the hospitable way
in which they had been entertain
ed. Many regrets were made by
the committee and others on ac
count of the illness of Robert Cal
houn, who was one of the commit
tee and could not be present. The
committee was composed of the
following named ladies and gentle
