PRACTICE WHAT YOUPREACH.

Last Monday night at the meeting
ofthe Citizens Association we were
surprised to see that body order 500
copies off paper from st. Louis.
Our home papers may work day
and night, they may have whole col
umns ofmatter pertaining to the in
terest of the city, they may report
speeches and minutes Of the Associa-
ton, and write editorials pertaining to
the good of the town, We may do this
and more because We wish to forward
the interests Of our town end county
and work in harmony with the Asso-
citation, and then, when any money is
to be expended for printers ink, you
send to St. Louis and order 800 cop
les of n paper, paying five cents acopy
when you could get 0 0copies Of your
home paper containing the same ar
ticle and other matter complimentary
to the town for three and n half or four
cents a copy.
Consistency, thou art a jewell"
While we preach about patronizing
home institutions &C., let us pratice
what we preach and not set such a bad
example to those not members Of the
association. What encouragement
do you hold out to your home papers
TO work night and day for you and
your interests. Is kicking us in the
face encouraging to us and ycurinter-
ests. All we ask is {. show. If we
can do the same work for the same
orless money, DO we not merit your
favors, or would you prefer to ignole
your home papers which are all the
life ofthe town?

THE DEVIL.
ALL ABOUT HIS SATANIC MA
JESTI.

The following pointed article on the
Devil appeared in Sundays St. Louis
Republican and as it animated from
one OF MeXico's prominent citizens,
We take pleasure in reproducing it
for the benefit of our readers.
Mr.. EDIToR-Since your leading
editorial in last Sundays paper raised
the devils in general, allow me to say
something of one of them III particu-
lar. La common with the writer of
that article We agree that much igno-
rance prevails among pulpit orators
on this question. As a general propo-
sition it is affirmed from the pulpit
that all the wickedness in the earth is
traceable to some peculiar, mysterious,
incomprehenslble influence Of the
devil, exerted in some way upon the
human will. To this view we cannot
assent because it grants in q large
powers which we understand
belong only to God-that of omni-
presence. To grant him any one of
the attributes of Deity is to grant him
all of them, and we apprehend that
will not be permitted Every in
telligent Bible student knows that
there r two very important occasion
On which the devil made his appear
ance on the earth. The first was in
the Garden of Eden, and the second
vas when Christ was led by the spirit
INTO the wilderness and had tasted for
forty days. Then it is said the temp
Ter came to him and Christ called him
Satan. His efforts in the garden of
Eden proved successful. Here he
only against human flesh.
With Christ he was a failure, for there
he came in contact not only with
iesh, but with Divine spirit, Now
n both these cases the devil came in
bodily shape. had speech and used
:, as any other sensible advocate
would have done, argued the ques-
ions and presented motives as induce
nents to action. Notwithstanding
is success over the great federal
Mexico weekly ledger., 1878-01-31

which will result in a saving of ten
millions of dollars a year in interest,
which in itself is no inconsiderable
item. 1t is believed that the meas
ures proposed will be generally ac-
ceptable to the country. A circulat-
ing medium will be afforded, superior
10 the legal tender note, since it will
be receivable for customs duties,
which the legal tender is not, and
The feature of interconvertibility for
four per cent. gold bonds at par,
gives it a value above that of the
Logan tender note. The National
Banks will also be relieved of all re-
sponsibility FOR their circulation, and
the present tax of one per cent. there
on amounting to about So, 100, 900
per annum, and this, it is believed,
will commend the measure to their
favor.

UNITED STATES SENATOR.
GOV. HARDIN Is THE MAN.

We clip the following from the
Fulton Telegraph Of a late date:
As the time has come for the peo-
pie to speak out on this all important
question, and is politicians are be-
ginning to throw out their tow lines,
would it not be well for the people TO
say in their might who they want to
fill that exalted station? Now it is
very plain in the eyes Of politicians,
as well as the public journals Of the
State, to say who they want. That
mar is Ex-Governor Hardin. He
has been tried i'll many ways and
never found wanting. Noman doubts
his capacity or his honesty, anG that
is all that General jackson required
of a man to secure his favor, and it
is all the people now require. Then
why not speak out and let politicians
and brokendown hacks stand from
under.
Coy. Hardin has retired to his lit
tie farm in Audrain county, but the
people Of to-day are like the Greeks
0' old they will bring their Cincin-
natus out from his pillow, and place
him where he Fan do them some good.
Gov. Hardin will pay no lobbyists,
nor throw around .'slush" to procure
his own elevation, hence, men of that
profession will oppose his election,
but they are few compared with the
mighty host that will shout the ''tCc-
sin" Tor IiardiE, and the working
mems rights. He is not = man that
wishes TO accumulate large quantities
of this worlds goods; as a proof, he
has OF his small fortune donated more
than $40, 900 to the cause of edura-
ton, and at this day many n poor,
hard working mans child is reaping
the benefit OF his liberality.
1t is a well-known fact that the
election OF Gov. Hardin, to the posi-
ton of United States Senator would
give more general satisfaction, and
would be herGldcd with more ioV
throughout the State than the cleo
ton Of any other Then put him
there IS a colleague Of Senator Cock
lell, and then may Missouri feel proud
Of her representatives IN that branch
of Congress.
As the Telegraph has been first to
promulgate many good things, let it
first sound slogan" Hardin, and
get him e seat in the United
Senate, like the illustrious Ben
ton, the people will keep him there.
