THE recent address of Hon. John L. Hoff-
man, before the New York Constitution
club, very ably treats Of the superior advan-
tages of the Jeffersonian over the Hamil-
tonian idea of government, showing th;a
centraiation is not a source Ofstrength to q
nation. He instances the condition of the
French, who with their seat of government
in the hands of the German enemy, fell an
easy prey to the prowess of the latter and
then makes comparison of the uninterrupted
vigor with which the fight for the Union was
kept up in the late civil wa. in this country,
even after all communication with Washing
ton was cut oil for time. The Union
forces were by no means paralyZed when
this latter misfortune occurred, but kept up
the work of organizing armies and sending
money and supplies under state and muni-
cipal regulations as before. A similar oc-
currence would have been the end Of q
strong government. The severe crises through
which this country has passed eminently
prove the superiority Of the theory that the
national government should never be
allowed TO do that which the state govern
ment can do better, nor the state govern
ment intermeddle with that which more
properly comes under municipal administra-
ton.

SHARON now wishes that he had not hung
up his Christmas stocking

Ir was 4 wise old saying of Thomas A'Kem-
pis that if you would increase mans pleas
ures, study to decrease his appetites. And
this was well eXemplified in the very pleas
ant Christmas that has just passed away.
Though the times were harder, the sum of
enjoyment was just as great. Adversely had
decreased the appottes of men, and a smaller
amount ofenjoyment went greater distance.

SWEET SlXTEENS.
The Members of This Organization
Hold an Important Meet
ing.

Ihe Sweet Sixteen society Is. s }, re-
Gently organic. by a number of East Sc
daIIa young ladies, ranging from 20 to 80,
recently beli meeting and adopted GER
tain grips, signs and words Decs ssary to a
secret order. Some little difficulty was ex-
p rienced In selecting a grip that could be
easily given without detection on the part
OF persons not members of the order, and
the discussion over the 10 after waxed SO
warm. that at enc time the existence of
the society was seriously threatened. Every
enc had certain grip to offer and insisted
upon lis adoption without unnecessary de-
lay. One young lady wanted the
right thumb doubled when :he fraiernal
shake was given; another thought a dis
loc,tiOn OF the front finger at the first
joint would prove an unmistaksbl sigu OF
membership, while a third considered IA
three fingered shake the proper thing
Some wsntrd the grip.dispensed with en-
hrely, and argued Tor the adoption of some
playful and social demonstration i'm lieu
thereof, such as gentle pull or pinch on
the lobe of the left ear, or mild twesk of
the nose accompanied BY some misleading
compliment rs 10 that members classic
beauty.
The former was declared to be objection
able on account of the elastic nature of the
suricuiar organ, q constant pulling at
which would have tendency i'm time to
lengthen it an inch or two. The nose
tweskirg sign was discarded as brutal and
liable to give the end of that srgan an un-
pleasant and suggestive vermilliou hue.
What sign or grip was 6nslIy adopted is
not known, for the members OF the society
claim that the time has not yet arrived for
them to diyulge the secrets of the organize
ton.
At the last meeting 3 number of resolu-
tions we're adopted, ore of which indorses
the candidacy Of Belva lockwood, and an
other, carefully worded one, favored the
general introduction of coschmen
in all families wealthy enough to
afford gentlemen of that calling.
1t was unanimously conceded that the ab-
clifton of coschmen would be a direct stab
at the progress of civilization.

Found the Mule.

Friday night Ed. Bouldin hitched fine
mule on Second street, in front of The
Fountsin saloon. The gentleman went
about his business, and when, about two
hours later, he returned to get the animal
that is without pride of ancestry or hope of
posterlty, it was non est; some one had
removed" it.
Search was instituted by Mr.. Bouldin
and the police, but without success. Later
In the nigh, Jack Stevens, a negro man,
was locked up on the charge of being
drunk. Certain developments led the ar
resting officer to believe that Jack had
'nlan Bouldin's mule, and yesterday MORN
Z che owner of the animal was informed
She suspicious of the officer. Jack was
l. -sssssioped closely, but he stoutly denied
knowledge of the mules disappearance.

asren the crime on him, the darkey was
simply fined for drunk. The mule was
found In an alley yesterday morning. The
police still think Jack took the mule.

Go Slow, Sister.

"Mattie Jones" was fined s. in the police
court Yesterday morning. She didn't sp-
pear in person, as she wanted to avoid un
due publicity. This same reason prompted
her to give an assumed name, for her name
is not "Msttie Jones'" She is a married
woman, living on East Fourth street, and
the mother of two children. Her husband
does not know that his wife was out Fri
day night on lark, and that she is untrue
to her marriage vows. Bot the BAzoo
does, and is also in possession of her true
name.
This woman is one of the many married
women in Sedslia who are bringing dis

children, by their lewd and dirty conduct.

Some two weeks ago, the notorious Lee
Grant, who has q pencil ant for Kissing q
rucktion of some kline, l-d from this city on
account of having attempted to rape q
young colored girl. He was also under
bond for appearance at the November term
of the criminal court, having committed q
crime which lays him liable to prosecu-
ton.
After his last bad break, Lee liz out for
the blooming west, but tarried in Kansas
City, Kansas. The fact that he was wanted
here had been wired to all thstowns around
and in this way he was picked up at the
above place, having been recognized there
by colorcd policeman, who knew him
personally. Last night, in company with
a colored constable, Lee arrived 10 Ssdslia,
snd was duly locked up in the county Jail.
File will not be SLOWED to plead his own
cause this time, with no one to oppose him,
and the probabilities are that this pestifer-
Gus fellow, slick as be is, will take trip
over the road, with Jefferson City as the
point. He is about the meanest
coon ever raised in Sedalia.

A Careless Clerk

Friday night, Marshal Barnett VS.
hastily summoned home by a message
stating that one of his children had been
gwen an overdose OF medicine through the
mistake OF prescription clerk in writing
The directions. Mr.. Barnett found, on
arriving home, that such was the case, but
ne was greatly relieved to learn on inves-
tiga;Ion, that no harm would result TO the
child. The fear that such would be case
was increased, owing to the recent affection
in the marshal's household. Prescrip,ic n
clerks should be very careful in writing
elections, as to the quantity of medicine to
be taken.

One month ago, yesterday, the free de-

and from the FIRST it has moved along
smoothly, every day witnessing the down.
fell Of some difficulty and the overthrow of
some obstacle. OF course, owing to the
complete revolution of postofice n gulation
and internal workings BY the Introduction
OF this system, there was no little friction
at first, and blunders and errors were made
as IVES expected there would be, by every-
body, except few chronic kickers, who
always growl at everything and everybody,
except themselves.
The system is now wo king finely and
very few mistakes are made in the delivery
OF mail matter. One thing people ought
to remember, and that is, TO have their
mail, il they want ii delivered, addressed
TO their street and number. By doing this,
much delay and trouble will be avoided.
