SOW about fifty per cent. more than
last year. A variety known as the
Red Mediterranean was sown by
nearly all our farmers, who claim that
this variety is better adapted to both
soil and climate of this county than
any they have eve sown.

FROM LADDoN1A.


LADDoNIA, Mo, Oct. 4, 1880.
EDITOR LEDGER:-Last Tuesday
the elevator belonging to Carter &
Hisey was burned down. The mill,
belonging to e. Ahlfeldt and run in
the same building, was also destroyed.
The fire was supposed to have caught
from the cars. The elevator was
partially insured, but the mill was a
total loss, having no insurance. Sew
eral papers are in circulation getting
money subscribed to aid Mr.. Ahlfeldt
to rebuild his mill. We never learned
the exact number of bushels of grain
destroyed; but supposed to be about
1900. Mr.. Cases store house, just
across the street from the elevator,
was saved from the fire by the hardest
exertions. Every man, woman and
child WIS out trying to do something,
if it was only to halloo at some one
else. Who has not witnessed a fire
and seen some laughable scenes to
take place? for they are sure to fol-
low in the excitement. The goods
belonged to Case & Cummings, and
some thought the house in such great
danger that it would be better to take
the goods out. Many of them were
taken out, and some got burned had
they remained in the house they
would have been safe. We saw a
gentleman once in Laddonia cutting
down a pine tree that stood near a
burning building to keep the tree
from getting burnt and spelling it
from growing. Another commenced
to tear up the well to keep it from
being destroyed by fire. Case &
Cummings are very thankful for the
help received. Mrs. Kicks had
several pieces of bed clothes burned.

The Judiciary. !
Nh. EDITOR 1T is too late to
enter upon a discussion of the best
method of selecting judges. For the
present, at least, that is settled. The
election Is at hand and there is no
other legal procedure than resort to
the ballot. To raise an issue about
1t would be injurious and sophistical /;
injurious because it would have to
proceed upon the supposition that the
successful candidate will become par
tisan after securing position, and
sophistical because no one has been
brought out as the champion of judic-
ial elections. Of course there are
two sides to such questions. The
old Wing party maintained that
Judges ought to be appointed for life,
or at least during good behavior
but such incumbents we're found te
be very difficult to get rid of wher
incompetent OF otherwise objection
able, and on that account elections
of Judges for short terms became the
rule Under that arrangement, which
is the existing one in Missouri, it il
as necessary and proper that candi
dates for the judiciary should b.
nominated and sustained as for othe
positions. DEMOCRAT.

To the People 1f the Third Judicial
Circuit Of Missouri. composed Of he
Counties Of Iud'aia, Montgomery
dnd Pike:
FELLOW CITIZENS: In reply to in
quiries and solicitations, verbal and
written, for some time past addressed
to me, | deem it proper to say:
I am a candidate for reelection to
the Circuit Judgeship at the general
election on the first Tuesday of No
vember next.
/ have concluded to make this IN
nouncement in the belief that my
candidacy for and election to the Of
fee 1 now hold, will be acceptable to
a majority of my constituents, else l
would not wish to retain the same,
and would at once decline being a
candidate therefor. Long years since
I was the recipient of nominations for
political office at the handle of popu-
lar assemblies and delegate conyen-
tons. Were I seeking political pre-
ferment, / would cheerfully conform
to the usages of the party at whose
hands 1 sought or expected to receive
it. To no such preferment do | now
aspire.
I do not regard the Circuit Judge
ship as in any proper sense a political
Office, and l do not deem it proper
that the party affinities of candidate
should be made a test in the choice
of the incumbent of that important
office.
The J%effersonian test: sis he hon.
est, is he capable, is he faithful to
the constitution? is, 1 submit, the
true one in that regard. The judge
on the bench Gas all thoughtful per-
sons will agree) should be "no re-
spector of PERSONS" and by being
chosen not as a partisan, and by
party machinery, but with reference
to his qualities as a lawyer and a cit
izen, he should Gas far as possible)
be placed above the temptation Oh
even the suspicion of being influenced
in his official condact by political
considerations, Or any party bias o:
prejudice.
I In asking the last favor / intend tt
solicit at the hands of my respected
constituents, l have to say, in con
clusion: having discharged to the
best of my ability the laborious ant
responsible duties of the judicia
Office. to which, by your Independent
suffrages, I have several times beer
chosen, that if, by your continued
kindness, | should be retained in thu
same beyond the present term, profit
ing by the experience of the past,
shall honestly endeavor to serve yo'
with renewed energy and increasing
fidelity. Returning to you my sin
cere thanks, l have the honor to b.
