THE LEDGER. THURSDAY, OCT. 11, 1894. An addition should be bnilt to Hardin College. Mexico should have a system of sewerage on the south Bide. There should be another public school building in Mexico. The streets in the business por tion of the city should be paved. Rev. E. K. Miller's friends warmly welcome him back to Mex ico. John W. Potts, of Mexico, car ried off everything he went alter with his white pony. Mexico is strictly in it when it comes to horse rings. The friends of Col. Breckinridge are making a great mistake in men tioning his name in connection with the Senatorship of Kentucky. The true friends of Breckinridge will allow him to retire, at least tem porarily. It is very peculiar.but a fact, that some of Mexico's business men who "do not believe in advertising" in the local papers never fail to go against any advertising snap or traveling fakir who comes to Mexico looking for suckers. M. L. Ci.ardy has been appoint ed General Attorney for the Mis souri Pacific lines in place of H. S. Priest, resigned. Mr. Clardy is an eminent attorney and has been con nected with the legal department of the Missouri Pacific for years. Governor V. J. Stone will speak in Mexico at the Court House at 2 p. m. on the third of November. Governor Stone should be greeted with one of the largest audiences ever assembled in Mexico. He is a splendid speaker and thoroughly posted on all the live issues of the clay. The Superintendent of the Ham- mond, Louisiana, public schools is in communication with the officers of the Mexico Public Schools in reference to our by-laws,regulations, course of study, etc. The writer says "We have heard of the Mexico Public Schools and the grand repu lation they enjoy." Hon. Champ Clark spoke at Martinsburg Wednesday afternoon to a large and enthusiastic audience. Wednesday night, Oct. 10, he spoke at Benton City. His other appoint ments in this county will be found in the Ledger. Mr. Clark is being greeted with immense audiences everywhere he 6peaks. G. D. and G. Li. r erris are both in Mexico this week on busi ness. Mr. Ferris' new stove is sell ing splendidly and we trust he will make a large amount of money out of it. Inside of six months Mr. G. JJ. Ferns will erect a large new business house on the northwes corner of the public square. He and Leslie are both very much in terested in Mexico and expect to re turn here to reside permanently. The attention of every Populist in Audrain county is especially called to the correspondence found in this issne of the Ledger between Robert Cauthorn, Chairman of the Populist Committee of Audrain county, and Hon. Champ Clark, Democratic nominee for Congress. It the Populists of Audrain county expect to accomplish anything along the lines laid down in their platform they should vote the Dem ocratic ticket unanimously. The Louisville Courier-Journal editorially says : Of all the unrea- sonable "kicks" ever kicked in this kicking world none has ever eur passed the plaint of the New York papers that that big hurricane failed to verify the predictions about its visiting their city. "All that came of it," one of them blubbers, "was n wind storm of not more than average severity." Can't New York let Arkansas have even a cy clono without wanting to beat its record? Sectional jealousy is going to be the ruin of this country. We clip the following from the Louisville Courier-Journal: Our Republican contemporary, the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, thus breaks over the party traces : "One sign of Southern prosperity is increased attendance at the col leges. The pupils at the University of Virginia will number over COO, and other leading Southern institu tions of learning report a similar growth." lhe ulobe-uemocrat must un derstand, however, that with the great majority of Republican organs colleges and college education come under the category of unpardonable sins. They do not know how to belter crush a Democrat than by hurling at him the epithet "Pro feasor I" The Best Country Taper. To the Editor of the Ledger . Liberty, Mo., Oct. 8. No sub scriber on your list enjoys reading theLEDGKR more than my wife, and, in fct, I've read it bo much I hardly know how we could get along with out it. The Mexico Ledger is the best country paper I know of in the State just my idea of a paper to build up and improve a town and county. Respectfully, D. F. Orb. In this issue of the Ledger will be found a statement of the National Bank of this city, one of the most prosperous institutions in the coun try.

From the St. Louis Globe - Democrat . One of the most interesting events at the Fair yesterday was the pre sentation in the afternoon about 4 o'clock of three magnificent watches, chains, etc., offered as premiums by the Mermod & Jaccard Jewelry Com pany for the best editorial notice of the usefulness of the Fair. The pre sentation took place in the arena and was witnessed by fully 25,000 people, the amphitheater being crowded to its utmost capacity. Col. C. C. Maffilt introduced MayorWal bridge, who made the presentation speech in his usual graceful and elegant style. The Mayor was very complimentary to the press, and es pecially to the State press. Mr. E. H. Mead, representing the Mermod & Jaccard Jewelry Com pany, was then introduced and made the following brief address: Gentlemen of the Press and Representatives of the St. Louis Fair Association: As a little explanation of "what we are here for," we must be ex cused if, with pardonable egotism, (under the circumstances) we begin with ourselves, the Mermod & Jac card Jewelry Company. It has ever been the aim, yes, the creed of our house that we should be actively and financially at the front in whatever tended to the advance ment and glorification of our city, St. Louis. It is perhaps well known to many of you that the Mermod & Jaccard Jewelry Co. took a very ac tive and leading part in the Autumn al Festivities Association which in so many ways during the past three years lias succeeded in lining our city with welcome and delighted guests, and which culminated in the building of that enduring monument the new Planters House, one of the most magnificent hostelries in this the land so noted for its fine hotels So far by way of preface. Now, when the question came up of our giving some special prizes for the St. Louis Fair our first thought was, what will do the greatest amount of good. After mature de liberation we wisely, as it proved concluded to enlist the co-operation of the greatest power of modern times the press and nobly have you, gentlemen, responded to our efforts, and as you look around you to-day at the grand success of this the grandest of our Fairs, you must feel that by your splendid and stir ring articles on the achievements and possibilities of the great St Louis Fair, you have touched effect ively the hearts of the good peopl of the great est, and renewed an active and hearty interest in thie our grand St. Louis institutiDn From tO'day we believe it snail go on to greater and greater triumphs adding a lasting and increasing at traction to our beloved city, which we fondly trust, like the scriptural mustard seed of old, shall grow into a mighty tree thac will overshadow the earth, and beneath its ever hos pitable branches shall be gathered the nations of the earth to dwell here in peace, prosperity and happiness Col. C. C. Maffitt then stepped to the front and made.with a few happy remarks, the presentation of the grand prizes as follows : First prize, R. M. White, Mexico "Ledger," Mexico, Mo. Second prize, Morris Emmerson, "Weekly Register." Mount Vernon, 111. Third prize, John W. Jacks, "The Standard," Montgomery City, Mo. Mr. While briefly responded on the part of the press, complimenting the broad, liberal spirit which ac tuated the Mermod-Jaccard Jewelry Co. in remembering the country press, and said he believed the re sults would be beneficial and en during. A very handsome gold medal, also manufactured by the Mermod & Jaccard Jewelry Company, was pre sented to Prof. Buffano, band master of the Fair Grounds. Sir. While's 1'rize Editorial. From the St. Louis Republic. Mr. Robert M. White, the vigor ous editor of the Mexico (Mo.) Ledger, won the Mermod-Jaccard prize for the best article on the St. Louis Fair. Mr. White's article is a model of terse English, and the discriminating young journalist em ployed The Republic's famous "Nothing Impossible" picture of St. Louis to decorate his production No doubt that happy thought helped him to win. ve quote irom me prize article a passage which St. Louis people should think upon: "St.Louis,on account of her Ioca tion and solid, substantial prosperi ty, is just the city for a grand nationnl fair a fair that will attract exhibits and patronage from every State in iho Union and foreign countries as well. The St. Louis Fair not only brings country and city people, the farmer and business man, into more friendly relations, but will unite more closely the East and thfl West, the North and the South. It can be in importance to the nation what it now is to the States of Missouri and Illinois. "The St. Louis National Fair" this is a grand possibility ; in fact, a piobability." A great national fair would be welcomed by the agricultural basin, and St. Louis is the center of agri cultural production. A display of the choice specimens of agricultural progress would be so useful that exhibitors and public alike would welcome the opportunity. Mr. White's words are pregnant with suggestion. The Wilson Hill. From the Chicago Tunes. The following has been received : Editor of The Times: Why do republican papers assert that the Wilson tariff law is a free-trade measure? If they are honest they know it is practically the same as the McKinley tariff law. Independent. Our correspondent does not seem to have carefully read the arguments of the republican press. Had he studied the new tariff law from a republican standpoint be would have seen that the Wilson bill is a vie ious free-trade measure, because it admits free of duty such staple ar ticles of commerce as acorns, apatite, balm of Gilead, bladders, dried blood, catgut, whipgut, and wormgut, cocculus indieus.cudbear, divi-divi, dragon's blood, kelp, litmus, myrobalan, osmium, puln, sabadilla seed, spunk and zaffer. With these great industries ot our country brought into free competi tion with the pauper industries of Europe, what is going to become of us? Tfue, almost every other article produced or manufactured has to pay a tariff duty, but when such necessaries of life as apatite, litmus, pulu, and spunk are admitted free the Wilson tariff law threatens to undermine the very foundations of our "protective" otherwise, rob' her system. What About Corn! From the Sedalia Democrat. It is told of Col. Tracey, tho Re publican nominee for Congress, that recently, in the course of a speech at Malta Bend a thriving town in the midst of the finest corn-raising section of the State and where the crop this year will make from sixty to eighty bushels per acre he said : "Gentleman, two years ago the Democrats had emblazoned on every wall, ote tor o rover Cleve land and get a dollar a bushel for your wheat!' Now you are getting 40 cents." Instantly a stalwart Democrat exclaimed: "What's the matter with 50 cents per bushel for corn?" The crowd went wild. The colonel didn't have a word to say in reply. He recognized, too bite, that he was in the midst of a corn-growing sec tion and that wheat was of seconda ry consideration, and that if he charged the democracy with bringing wheat down to 40 cents the crowd would credit the Democrats with the increase in the price of corn to 50 and 55 cents a bushel. Hotel Burned. Fulton, Mo., October 7. The old Central Hotel, owned by Edwin Curd and J. Sam Watson, was destroyed by fire this morning. The hotel was oc cupied by the Fulton "Jour nal," Chenoweth, Dunn & Dunn, barbers; Miss Annie Dunn, dress maker, and some fiveor six families. The furniture and clothing of those living on the second and third floors were a total loss. No insurance. Loss on building estimated at $5000, insured for $2000. The fire was undoubtedly the work of an in cendiary. 1'reclons hisky. From Harier's Magazine. "The way an Indian loves whisky beats everything," 6aid the soldier. "I once met a Cheyenne on a pony. 'Give me drink of whisky ; I'll give you a bridle for it,' says he. 4No says I. 'I'll give you my saddle,' says he. 'No,' says I. 'I'll give you my pony,' says he. 'No,' says I. Finally, if you'U believe me be offered his bridle and saddle and pony all in a bunch for a drink!" "Well, and wouldn't you give it to him for all that?" asked the soldier's listener. "Not much," said the soldier. "I had only one drink left, and I wanted that myself." Large (Jims. To the Editor of the Ledger. Martinsburg, Mo., Oct. 9. What is the largest gun on any war ship ot the world? What is the largest gun on any vessel of our navy? Where was a fifteen-inch gun used during our civil war on land or in the navy? Warfare. The heaviest guns are in tho Brit ish Navy; they weigh HO.'i tons, with a caliber of lCi inches. The ItalianNavy has eight 17-inch guns, which, however, are said to weigh less than the English guns. The largest guns in our navy are the 13 inch guns on the Indiana, Massa chusetts and Oregon. Fifteen-inch guns were usea uunng me war on some of the monitors ; the heaviest land guns were about eight-inch. The famous "Swamp Angel," used at the siege of Charleston, was an eight-inch gun. Clump Clark in Form. Troy, Mo., Oct. 9. Champ Clark made his first speech at this place since he was first nominated for Congress, and be was greeted by one of the most enthusiastic audiences ever assembled in this city. Mr. Clark was at his best and made a masterly defense of the Democratic work done in the last Congress. He (Clark) will poll the full party vote in this (Lincoln) county, at the next election, and the Democrats will have a largely increased majority. "Would Sot Do Without It." to Mr. R.

The Fulton Stars and Mexico Browns met on the diamond at Aux vasse Friday, and after a hard fought game, abundant with costly errors, Mexico came out victorious. About 700 spectators witnessed the con test. The game was umpired by Robert Lawder, of Mexico, and all were loud in their praise of his efficiency and accuracy in that unthankful position. Mr. Lawder i3 a perfect gentleman and under his rulings one of the quietest and most friendly games ot ball we ever saw was played. Owing to their lack of practice our boys did not do them selves justice in their playing, and we are confident that if another came between the same nines can be arranged they will prove them selves the superior ball players.

Engineer Samuel Smith, who was injured in the Southern railway wreck near Bristol, Tenn., on Sun day, died yesterday. The wreck will cost the company $100,000. .Modern Maxims. It's better to cut pie with a knife than break hearts with a bottle. It's of less consequence to have long-tailed coat than a long bank account. it s better to waste a little money than to lose a good deal of life, It's unkind to stir up unpleasant recollections by onsring a minor actor a ham omelet. It's better to keep an even temper than to "get even" with your enemies. It's belter to walk six miles a day than to die 16 years too early It's cheaper to keep a happy- family in comfortable shape than to support one young bachelor. it a easier to uodge the income tax collector than a girl who's ju? learning to ride a bicycle.

From tile Louisville Courier-Journal. At last the secret is out. Our Republican friends have dis covered the whole gigantic conspi racy and exposed it to an astounded and indignant world. The improving business, so they tell us, is all a damnable plot of the Democrats to influence votes. Mills and factories, they soy, are kept running, without profit, until the election in order to aid the Demo crats. That is all. Isn't it easy when once you see? Observe what lucid ami conclusive logic: A Democratic tariff, say our Re publican friends, is the greatest foe tn mills and factories. A Democratic tariff cripples and closes down mills and factories. Therefore, the mills and factories are conspiring to run without profit until November, in order that they may help to carry the election for the Democrats and a Democratic tariff. How simple great mysteries be -come when mighty minds lay hold on them !
