means to enable the STATE TO make

OF the high character which marks the
people of North Missouri.

" RAILROAD DIVISION.
MEXICO TIE POINT.
GRAND THING FOR AUDRAIN.
MONEY AND YORK WILL BRING 1T HERE.

The G. & A. railroad extension to
Kansas City is no longera probability,
but d certainty. In this weeks issue
of the LEDGER can he found Il notice
to contractors for the work on the
extension, and all prcliminaries are
so arranged that work will begin at
once after the 2Gth Of this month. In
fact, some OF the contractors are even
now in Mexico.
This extension opening up such Il
rich and extensive cattle grazing coun-
'ty as it will, is bound TO have a freight
division at, or NEAR Mexico. where
the stock will have to be unloaded
and fed, where all freight engine crews
will either have homes or board where
there will be large repair shops filed
with workmen to repair freight en-
gines. &C., where there will be a
large yard filed with ~switchmen.
brakemen and others who have various
duties in a railroad yard. In short.
a railroad division is q grand thing
for q. city. 1t brings hundreds of
workmen to n town rs we have shown
above, who have to be fed and clothed.
1t will also furnish a sale for all the
hay and corr grown in the country
for as we have stated above, all stock
would have to be taken out of the
cars and fed hoe.
The many benefits accruing from a
railroad division at Mexico will ap-
pear evident to orr intelligent read
ers. The point is, how are we to
secure this division? Well, in the
first place and in the last place, rail-
roads are only moved by moneyed
considerations, and if we want this di-
vision at Mexico, we will have to
make some proposition to the Com
pany that will induce them to favor
us in this way. Perhaps we will have
to buy the land and build the stock
yards. We have no iiea what remu-
neration the Company will want, bat
we think that this matter should be
taken in hand by the Citizens Associ-
alton at once, and that \ committe {
be appointed to wait OH the Company
and find out that inducements will
have to be thrown cut by tic city 10
insure for IFS this great enterprise.
We need not sit still and
expect the division to come TO Mexi-
co and "side track for MS If we
want the new division we must work
for it and if we fail, then We will know
that we have done our duty.

WESTERN REAL ESTAYE
GOOD sECURITY-LOwER RATE OF L.
TERESr.

Il. H. Allison, 1Itna Lie Insur-
ance Agent in this city, has our thanks
for a late Hartford paper in which we
find a carefully prepared report OF
the special Insurance commission. ii
will be seen from the following cx-
tract that Western real estate is good
security for money loaned at 4 reas-
enable rate IF interest, and that only
one company lost; and while the
! Phoenix lost Sc, 900 two other com
panies made over 5000. The follow
ing extract speaks for itself in behalf
Of western real estate:
Many of the outstanding loans in
the west were made upon interest at
the rate of 8, . OF 10 per cent. per
annum. The tendency is toward
lower rates, and in fact lower rates
are accepted upon new loans. and the
rates have been reduced upon many
existing loans by some Of the compa-
MES. In many cases the mortgagers
are confident that they n pay 6 or
Z per cent. and hold their property,
but they are not willing to undertake
to pay 8 or 10 per cent, the rate
named when the loan was made.
Those, therefore, who feel that the
value of their property is not much in
excess of the amount of the loan, of
fer the companies the option, either
to reduce the rate of interest or take
the property. We are confident that
If, in such cases, this concession in
the rate OF interest on the part of the
companies is made, it will prevent
the foreclosure of a large amount of
real estate loans. We therefore as
sumo that the mortgagors who have
paid the interest on their loans dur
ing the past three years of unprece-
dented depression and disaster in
business and financial circles, at high
rates of interest, will now, that the
worst is over, especially in the west,
with its great crops, its enterprise and
almost fabulous agricultural, manu-
featuring and mineral wealth, make
all the necessary exertion to hold
their real estate for use or to realize.
in case they sell, the advance which
they are confident a renewed pros
perity will bring, and we believe. as
we have before stated that our insur-
anee companies will sustain in the end
70 net loss of consequence upon their
outstanding loans upon real estate in
the west.

CITY ELECTION.

The time for city election is draw
ing nigh and the public begins to cast
its mind about for material for candi-
dates. Orr contemporary q few weeks
since stated that Mexico had been
cursed with ignorant and
inefficient officers. Now
while We have perhaps had some men
in the Council Chamber who would
have been Out of place in the halls OF
Congress, still our worthy cotem-
porary is mistaken if he thinks we
have been cursed with ignorant Off
cials. The fact Of tie matter is, he
never goes to the Council meetings,
and. so knows nothing about the
workings of the Council. Before q
maj can render an Intelligent unbi-
ass@a opinion on a subject, lie must
know what he is talking about. Our
Council during the past year has done
good efficient work. The different
officials have performed the various
duties deyolying on them in a manner
that has proved acceptable to all.
4. II. Fowler has proved u model
Mayor. Geo. Robertson has done
most efficient work as City Attorney,
and the other officials I'd councilmen
have done their utmost 10 forward
the interests Of the city. We under
stand that several of the officers will
be closely contested for. We trust
the contestants will all come out in
good time SO that the public can have
