an interest in its success should
come to the front promptly. Un
less this enterprise succeeds Mex

its prestige as the horse centre of

and we trust cur people will ap

It is conceded by the horse men

place for the new mile track. If
tad horse men in this city and this
county will do their part the enter
prise is secured. At least one half
the money will be cheerfully con
t0 ited by trotting horse men who
live outside of this city. The bus

Special Dispatch to the Ledger.
St. Lotjis, Mo., Nov. 4, 4:dl) p.
m. Returns are coming in slowly.
There is no question but the Demo-
crats have made gains all over the
United States and have surely car
ried New York, Iowa and Massa
chusetts. McKinley's plurality, at
this hour, is estimated at 22,000.
The results of Tuesday's election
are a sweeping Democratic victory,
Iowa, New York and Massachu
setts all going Democratic, while
Ohio is claimed by the Republi
cans bv a small majority. The full '
returns are not in yet, and it is im
possible to get correct figures in re
gard to the legislatures. The St.
Louis Republic head lines are as fol
lows: "Victory" "New York goes
Democratic" "Flower's election
by abig plurality conceded" "Mas
sachusetts reaffirms her choice of
Governor Russell as her tribute to '
Democratic administration"-"Iowa
signifies her respect for honest gov
ernment by triumphantly re-elect
ing Governor Horace Boiea"-"Ohio
bows to the moloch of the tarifl"
"McKinley's election there claim
ed by a small plurality" "The
preliminary skirmish to the great
battle of 1892 results in a thorough
Democratic triumph."
The Globe Democrat concedes the
victory to the Democracy and prints
the following head lines : "Mc-
Kinley elected" "The Republican
party triumphant in Ohio" "A
good round majority for the apos
tle of protection" "Flower eleci
ed in New York, Boies in Iowa and
Russell inMassachusetta"-,,Demo-
cratic gains in Pennsylvania."
The St. Louis Republic editor
ially says :
The result of yesterday's elec
tions was a substantial Democratic
victory ,'especially if Gov.Boies has
been re-elected in Iowa, as seems
probable at the time of this writ
ing. If the people's verdict is ex
pressed in less emphatic figures
than in the upheaval of last' fall, it
ia sufficiently decisive, Doth to de
fine the issue on which next year's
campaign will be fought and to
give the Democrats every reason to
look for victory on the issue.
The battle in New York has end
ed in a Republican Waterloo. Its
result shows that New York is no
longer a doubtful State, and great
ly simplifies the calculations foi
the Presidential contest of 1892
More important even than Flower's
election as Governor by a greatly
increased majority is the reported
capture of the General Assembly
A Democratic majority in that
body means a new apportionment,
which the Republicans have pre
vented, in brazen defiance of the
Constitution ; a redisricting of the
State that will abolish one of the
most infamous gerrymanders in
the history of American politics;
the sain of a Democratic United
States Senator, and such legisla
tion in the interest of the people
as will make New York securely
Democratic for years.
Scarcely less important is the
re-election of Governor Russell in
Massachusetts. The Republicans
have claimed that bis election last
time was simply a political acci
dent that indicated no real or per
manent change ox opinion among
the voters. His re-election on the
eve of a Presidential contest, after
a hot campaign fought in the main
on national issues, placed Massa
chusetts in the list of doubtful
States, and lends plausibility to
the Democratic claim that on the
tana issue the old Uay state is no
longer Republican. -Governor
Campbell's failure of
re-election in Ohio can hardly be
regarded as a deieat it is rather a
dra wn battle. Ohio is naturally
Republican State, yet after a cam
paign in which all the resources of
Republicanism, financial and other
wise, were lavishly marshalled,
the Republicans were barely able
to retain their lead of last year.
Up to midnight the returns from
Iowa and Pennsylvania were too
scanty to serve as more than indi
cations, and the indications then
were that Boies had again won in
the former and that in the latter
LITTLE RUTH AND HER MOTHER.

(From the Llnneus Bulletin.)
the huge Republican majority had
been cut to almost nothing. Iowa
having gone Democratic in three
successive elections must now be
taken out of the Republican column
and placed in the list of the doubt
ful States.
In its bearing on national issues
the result of yesterday's elections
is significant and well defined. It
means that next year's Presidenti
al contest will be fought squarly on
the issue ol Protection on the one
side and Tarifl Reform on the other
And this is a consummation most
devoutly to be wished by Demo
crats.
MISSOURI FARMING.
Thinks the Farm Caunot Be Equaled
by Any of Those in Kansas.
From a Batler, Mo., Letter.
While Kansas has been looked
upon as the marvelous state in the
way of raising immense crops,
Missouri haa been goiDg along in
the even tenor of her way and
"saying nothing and sawing wood."
But when it comes to large crops
there are several counties in this
state which can show them, and
Bates and Cass are two of them.
That this is true is shown by the
returns made by Captain John
Scearce, who lives just across the
line in Cass county, in Everett
township. The captain has a farm
of 320 acres, and had 100 in wheat
and the same area in corn. His
wheat has been threshed and his
corn has now been cut and is in
shock.
From the 100 acres of wheat land
the captain received a total of 3,
500 bushels ot wheat, which he
sold at the railroad for $2,975. His
corn field has been estimated by
those who are good judges to have
an average yield of over fifty
bushels to the acre, which, if the
estimate holds out, will amount to
at leaet 5,500 bushels, worth not
less than fifty cents per bushel, or
a total if $2,750, making a total of
$5,725 for 200 acres.
In addition to this grain the cap
tain has twenty acres in hay and
has an orchard of twenty acres full
of bearing trees, which this year
are loaded down with fruit. He
has a feed lot in which fifty head
of cattle are ready to be fattened,
while his wife and daughters have
a poultry yard that is one of the
beat in the state, and which nets
them enough every year to pay
more than the expenses ol the
household.
Tne captain estimates this year
that his farm of 320 acres, which
he considers worth $75 an acre, or
a total of $24,000, -will net him
over and above all expenses, not
less than $10,000, which, he thinks
cannot be equaled by any Kansas
farm, no matter where it lies.
Ferryage at Cedar City.
We are all interested in having a
first-class ferry at Cedar City
Capt. Moore has given the best
service we have had within our
recollection and we are surprised
to notice a movement has been
consummated to break down Capt.
Moore and leave tbe question of
ferryage at Cedar City in a very
bad shape. A free ferry has been
started there, which will, of course,
run while there is good weather
and during the time it takes no
work to attend to the business
This ferry will, of course, compel
Capt. Moore to abandon his busi
ness there. The point we desire
to make in this article is that a
free ferry the year around cannot
be maintained at Cedar City on the
plan now adopted, and the next
thing we hear of will be that the
river is up or down or frozen over,
and the travelling public will be
compelled to swim, wade, or skate
over, as the case may be. No bet
ter man can be found anywhere to
have charge of the ferry at Cedar
City than Capt. Moore, and we are
surprised, in view of the light we
have on the subject, that he is not
being encouraged and protected in
his business. The Cole County
Democrat, referring to the matter,
says:
"Until the river is improved at
this point, no one can maintain a
better ferry than the one now and
tor years run by uapi. raoore. -we
are in favor of every proper move
in the interest of this city, but let
us be certain that we do not drive
out the best ferry that the city ever
had, in our efforts to establish a
free ferry. We can never favor
any project that materially injures
one of our cititent. We believe in
the old rule, 'Do unto others as we
would be done by, etc. Better
units our efforts and get Congress
to have a dyke thrown out at this
point, and a good ferry will follow
without injury to any one."
