Startling Experience.

Next to scarlet fever there is no
disease among children more dreaded
by parents than whooping cough.
1t is liable to come at all seasons OF
the year; it exhausts the strength OF
the little ones, and physicians are
often unable to check it. Mr.. F. w
Harbaugh, of the Telegram, Balti'
more, Maryland, had six of his chll'
dren, aged from six to thirteen years
prostrated with this malady at one
and the same time. A complete cure
was, however, effected by Red Sta
Cough Cure; and Mr.. Harbaugl
writes that the cough, which gener
ally lasts nine weeks, left in fou
weeks, and he is confident it woul'
have disappeared sooner if he ha'
been aware of the existence Of sue
an invaluable remedy.

VEST TO LEAD THE DEMOCRACY
Put Forward IN the Senate as the
Presidents Spokesman.

Those Democratic papers that are
misrepresenting and trying to injure
Senator Vest, of Missouri, should
read the following. They claim to be
heart and soul for the administration
and at the same time would traduce
it's leaders in the Senate.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 21st--
Senator Vest is beginning to be rec
ognized as the administration leader
on the Democratic side. He is to be
the mou,hpiece of the administration.
This was shown in his presentation
of the resolution calling for the Kelley
correspondence, and his subsequent
remarks upon the subject to-day. MIR.
Vest is a man who has more than
ordinary gifts as DICTATOR. He Is,
perhaps, the best off-hand talker on
the Democratic side. He has had
longer training in the active practice
of the law than almost any one upon
that side. He is man below the
medium size, with a great round head
sets so low between his shoulders thai
he has the appearance of having nc
neck at all. He is blonde with s
fiorid, high colored complexion. Hi:
face is very ro.ud and double chin
neo. He is shaved smooth, with the
l exception Of a small light brown
i mustache, which curls in at the cor
ners of his mouth. His nose i
: straight. His eyes are cold, fish,
a blue, deeply set under broad
J. bulgy forehead. His blonde hair
u beginning to hin and is bushed S
g closely to his head that it does nc
IL conceal its outline. He has a plea.
ant voice and easy delivery and read
IS flow Of language. He has positlv'
% aggressive style and at times
If wonderfully forid rhetoric.

MEXICO, MISSOURI, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 81, 1885.

lowing the plain teachings of the
New Testament as practiced by the
Apostles constitutes sect then the |
Christian church is sect; and we
say further that if it be only q sect it |
is the worst of all sects because it |
came almost last in the long list. !
But who is so reckless as to say that
those who follow the example of the
inspired Apostles of the Lord Jesus
Christ are a sect? Before this can
be done this this further fact must be
made out clearly and distinctly Ito
wit): That there is no such thing as
primitive apostolic practice taught in
the New Testament, and if it be that
it is so obscurely taught that human
intelligence can not comprehend it.
Now this may seem to SAVIOR little
of egotism but We do not intend
anything of the kind because we have
the combined wisdom of the protest
ant world almost without exception
as to all the points of practice above
set out. On the subject of creeds Of
course all agree that the Bible con-
tains all the creeds contain and much
l more. SO then the creed of the
Christian church talking after the
manner of men is certainly the best
creed. On the platform of unior
composed of the Bible, all agree that
. it is the best on earth. On the thirt
i point all protestants claim to confess
Christ and follow him.
On the 4th point all agree that i'm
e mersion in water is Christian baptism
but some say sprlnkling will do
v. Our Methodist friends will give
man his choice, and thus they con
IS cede the question, while scholar
u of all denominations agree that tn

We Stand Corrected,

The Mexico LEDGER says: Owe
take the Congressional Record, but
from it are unable to learn whether
our congressman is sick or we'll"
We much fear that White will never
outlive his personal dislike for Col.
Hutton and that he cannot properly
appreciate the dignified modesty,
which, thus early in the session, has
kept our brilliant representative in
the background. The LEDGER should
remember that "our congressman" is
stranger to national politics, and
naturally requires little time fol
study and reflection before commenc.
ing to hurl things about in congress
to the great surprise and utter amaze
ment of his fellow-members. Give
the Col. time to recover from The
exhausting labor of his postoffic'
appointments, and we will guarantee
that as soon as the ''proprieties" ma,
warrant it, he will be heard from ant
in such emphatic tones as will satisfy
not only Bob White, but the Who'll
earth, including Cleopatra's Needl
and the Statue of Liberty Enlighter
ing the World, that he is not only a
Washington but in the most robus
health and laboring nobly for hi

The New Steel Ships.

Commodore Scard's summing up of the
points of superiority which the new steel
ships now being constructed NAV claim over
the old, gives the following: First. the new
ships have double bottoms. If any accident
happens to the outer one the ship is not seri-
ousilv injured, provided the inner one still
remains intact; second. they have protective
decks which slant fore and aft and towa ard the
sides. These decks are made Of thick steel
and beneath them the engines and magazines
are located; third, they have athwart ships
water tight bulkheads; fourth, they have
numerous subdivisions below, so that if the
ship springs a leak it can only fill one OF these
and soon be repaired; fifth there are power
full pumps connected with all the subdivis-
ions aud with the double bottom; sixth, they
carry a considerable amount of coal above
the protective deck and on each side of the
boilers. This serves as a sort of earthwork
seventh they have gun shields made of two
inch steel plates. These are placed upon the
front of the gun carriages, and are intended
to protect the carriages and crew in a meas
ure from small shot and pieces of shell. The
guns are otherwise protected by heavy hem
pen mats called "mantlets," which are hung
up between the guns.
