Robinson for congress,

We are reliably informed that Hon.
A. II. Buckner will not be a candi-
date for reelection to Congress. If
this is a fact. and We presume it is,
We wish to present to the Democrats
Of Audrain the name of Judge Elijah
Robinson of Pike county. as a candi-
date for Congress from this district.
Judge Robinson is well-known to all
Of our readers and to the entire party
of the district rs an accomplished
gentleman, n talented lawyer, a faith
full servant Of the people, and a pure.
pushing, true Democrat, whose rec
ord, political and private, is without
q stain. One who will know what is
best for his district, and knowing will
at once use all of his energies to do.
At this early day we do not intend to
present i'm detail the reasons why
Audrain democrats should he for
Robinson for Congress. The demo-
Gratis Of Audrain and of this entire
district do not need to be told by any
newspaper who 1t is hest for them to
vote for, and We are ure they will
agree with us that Robinson is the
man for the place. Even now we
have heard hundreds express them
selves for him, and not . single voice
of disapproval has come to our ears,
and we have made extensive inquiry.
He is a fit man to take the place Of
our distinguished Congressman, the
Hon. A. III. Buckner.

Musical.

Mrs. Lou Gardner gave another
one of her delightful concerts at the
Opera House last Friday evening be-
fore a fair audience. Mrs. Gardner
never fails to draw good houses, from
the fact that she is always assisted by
the best talent to be had, and is,
perhaps, the best accompanist in the
city-with the exception, We may
mention, Of one, W. NJ. Treloar. So
well was every detail arranged Friday
evening that each exercise passed off
with the most happy results, and not
the least noticeable hitch occurred, as
is often the case with amateurs, which
feature only speaks we'll for the man
agement. There we're a number of
those who took part that were deser-
wing of especial mention. The vocal
solo, 'sAngels' Serenade," by Miss
Nettie LaRue, with violin obligato by
Frank Hulett, was we'll presented.
Miss Fannie Ross, a student Of Har-
din College, rendered 30, as Fair as
Poets Dreaming in a charming
manner. Miss Fannie has a sweet
voice, and together with her unaffect.
ed grace, she made herself a decided
favorite. Miss Emma Allison in the
past two years has made wonderful
progress in vocal study. The only
apparent difficulty with Miss Emms
is q lack of confidence in herself
Her voice, to use the expression o.
a musical connoissieur present, ''I'
as pure as a snowflake and as musica
as q mountain rivulet." Her solo
when the Tide Comes In," by Mil
lard. gives the young lady ample
opportunity to display her talent
The co~ntralto solo by Miss Carrie
Woodward, was u surprise to many
She has a strong voice and manipu
lates it with perfect ease. Mise;
: Woodward, Ross and Allison enjoyed
r the distinction of being heartily en-
Ecored. Messrs. Gentry. Woellmer
Gamble, Roberts and Harding, ant
Misses Shea, West, Griffin and other
assisted in making the occasion rar
musical treat.

Much Ado About Nothing.

Ine Press goes to a great deal Of
trouble to show that the LEDGER Bull
Ietin was the cause of the report about
John Greasy. Does Newt Cross want
to convey the idea that editors
throughout the state come to Mexico
to read our Bulletin? The LEDGER
stated the report was false aud had
nothing to do with starting it What
is the matter with you, Newt? Amt
you we'll? John Creasy's boy was
the real of the report. No
slanderous remark was ever made
about John or his family. The most
Of Cross remarks are errors. He
should not write about things con-
corning what he knows nothing.

CONGRESS-.

With each successive Congress,
legislation is dilatory. Already
q third Of an ordinary session has
passed with nothing enacted for the
relief of taxpayers. Much of this in
creasing delay undoubtedly comes
from ovcrgrown congressional repre-
sentation; but when an emergency
arises concerning which there is little
conflict Of opinion, both the House
and Senate can act with promptness.
The national aid recently impaired to
the suffering populations of the Ohio
is an apt illustration of what is meant.
OF late years, however, Congress has
moved slowly and rarely more so
than on the W of presidential cleo
tons. None of the great questions
of popular contentious upon which
the approaching elections will hinge,
have yet been taken up. 1t has not
determined whether there shall he a
Tariff for protection Or a Tariff for
revenue. The national banks are un-
CERTAIN as TO their fate. Foreign
commerce languishes without suspi-
cion of what will be its future. Our
manufacturers are kept in a state of
uncertainty and disquietude. BUSH
ness is unproductive and money unem-
ployed and without demand is receed-
ing and accommodating in capital CEN
tiers, without ordinary benefit to pro-
ductive areas and with all this trans
piring Congress is hesitating and in
active, apparently devoid of cohesive
leadership. The enthusiasm nantes
ted at the commencement of the ses-
sion by the majority of the democrats
of the House has antagonized that of
the party in Ohio, Indiana. New York.
Pennsylvania and New Jersey and
just as a great popular uprising SEEM
cd to be about TO transfer the govern
ment of tn ,ountry 10 its hands, has
done its utmost to stake the fate of
Ms party upon the impracticable issue
of a tariff for rcvenue only. Will. the
Democracy recover from the blow
thus inflicted? The LEDGER thinks
it will. 1t has survived many similar
trials. Its traditional mission cannot
be destroyed by misconeeption of the
immortal issues it represents.

To the Editor OF the Ledger.
MEXICO, Mo-, Feb. 25.-Could
any thing induce our City Council to
publish In statement of expenditures
the total amount of warrants issued?
We never get a complete statement
as there is always an in erval of
about two weeks between the meet
ings of the outgoing council and the
incoming, so that cash on hand re-
ported by the new council is always
different from cash on hand reported
by the outgoing council; the state
ments published never close up the
years business. If we could get the
total of warrants issued, and the re-
port was made up to the end of each
term, we could begin to guess at what
was done, even if the payments of q
loan was put on the income side.

statement can not be made.-TEpIToR

FnrntvaL,s Alleged Motive.

Omaha, Neb., Oct 20--A gentleman
from Fullerton, Nance county, says
although no clue has yet been obtained
as to the whereabouts of Furnival, the
murderer OF PerciTal, wife and child,
and MAR and Baird, some light has been
obtained as to the motive Of the murder
The story is TO the effect that the
coroner has discovered letters written tc
Furnival from Englund showing that he
came TO Nebraska to murder Percival,
who was heir to an estate in England
his father being u wealthy lord. The
next OF kin is o worthless scion of nobil-
lty, addicted to gambling and other
vices. 1t il claimed that the person
who wrote the letters TO Furnival would
profit by Perciva's death, and that he
hired Furnival to do the deed. 1t is
also stated that the authorities are keep
ing the letters secret, as they want to
communicate with the authorities in
England aud have the author
of the letters arrested. 1t
is not yet explained if
these statements are correct, why Furni-
val murdered Mair and Bard, unless it
was that he was afraid that they might
render material aid in oiiecting his Cap
ture or possessed secrets which he was
afraid they would reveal. Every effort
Is beng 'nnde to discover the where
abouts of Nurnivai. Sheriff Se1bbel, Of
Nance county, believes thet he is some
whore in Iowa, and that he will be cap
tnrgd before many days.
