IL government may contract debis on the
basis of gold values, and afterwards buy sill
YER bullion and make it into dollar coins, put
ting SO cents worth of silver into each coin,
and then pay its debts with these short-weight
dollars at their face value, that government is
an essential fraud. Yet to that complexion

Night.

| hear the cries that follow birth and death,
hear huge pestilence draw his vaporous breath :
Beware, prepare, else ye iel" he saith.
hear a haggard student turn and sigh,
hear men begging heaven to let them die,
Aud, drowning all, Nild-eyed woman's cry.
So night takes toll of wisdom as Of sin,
The students aud the drunkard's cheek is thin,
But hesh is not the prize we strive to win.
Now airy swarms Of huttering dreams descend
On souls, like birds on trees, aud have no end.
o God from vulture dreams my soul defend.
Let fall on her a rose-leaf rain Of dreams,
All passio onate-sweet, as are the loving beams
OF starlight on the glimmering woods and streams

Our Congressman on the Tariff

A commercial paper has written to
all the new congressman asking how
they stand on the tariff and whether
they are for protection or free trade.
OF all the replies, we judge by its
heading of his reply, this paper thinks
our cengressman's is the only n at
all ambiguous. This is his first
utterance, SO to speak, since his elec-
ton, and is as follows:
s.xcLrNEs A LITTLE TO BOTH SIDES"
I am in favor of q tariff for revenue
witk protection a. the incident. and
am therefore opposed to a tariff 70,
protection with erenue as the incl
dent. l have objections TO both the
Randall and Morrison views of the
question, and cannot say that agree
with e.tller. JoHN E. HUTTON,
(Dem. tn Msssouri) Mexico, Mo.
We trust that the first thing the
Col. does will be TO draft a bill em-
botlying his views, as every Democrat
is anxious to have the tariff settled.
The settling of this matter We think
just suits him and is worthy the en-
tire life of any great statesman. We
are perhaps surprised that he does not
agree with such nien as Randall and
Morrison.

LADDoNIA, Feb. 17.-Considering
the weather, the Laddonians havebeen
enjoying themselves finely during
the past week. The skating rink is
open three evenings in the week,
where all meet, and have a social
time. On last Friday night Laddo-
MIA had its first masque ball. Most
of the denizens turned out, and Joy
and mirth seemed to reign supreme.
Several of the company were mask
ed, though some were not. George
Convey was there looking like Santa
Claus; Frank Barr looked like one
of the ancient knights; Ed. Rodman
represented the editor of the LEDGER;
J. N. Cross, with much dignity, look
ed like King James; Will Lippencott
was a Grand Vizier; Charlie Mont
gomery and W. FL. L gan were fine
looking sailor boys; Noah Mitchell
looked graceful as the queen of the
west; John Freeman was a savage
looking Indian; Stevens & Mitch
ell were superb looking Dutch
men, DR.. Roberts was a first
class ''dude" and James Ian
drum was Barnum's clown. The la
dies were nicely attired, some look
ing like gypsies, some like queens,
and others like Scotch girls. The
music was fine, many joined in the
dance, and all partook of the mirth,
and laughed as ''they have not done
for ages past"
James Farmer, the teacher of the
Band, says they I improving rap
idly. MI. Farmer is also agent for
all the leading pianos and organs.

home from Lincoln county last week
after a protracted visit.
bliss Annie WEIGH was visiting
near Perry last week.
Mrs. Mollie Scanland is quite sick
with the measles.
Mrs. Josie Links health is improv-
ing.
We have heard of educated hogs,
but we think Laddonia can take the
premium in this line. This morning
we saw two fine looking hogs setting
up in a sleigh, driving two big, black
horses, and the hogs looked as indie
pendent as any sleigh riders we have
seen. This looks strange, but the
reader will think stranger yet, when
we tell you the hogs were running
off from our butchers, and trying to
make good their escape.
Last week the Literary Society
was excellent. Mrs. F. Bruton's pa
per vas one of the chief features of
the evening. E. C. Kennen has
charge of the paper for this week.
The G. 7. Lodge gives an open
session next Saturday night at the
Christian church. All are invited;
and you a come without money.
There is a great cali for houses to
rent. People having money could
not invest it better than in building
houses in Laddonia. Everybody
seems confident that our town will
make great growth this year, and all
its citizens r happy and content.
