serves. The building, since 1t has
been enlarged, is tie most complete

TOO EARLY.

Commendations OF Gov. Hill, MIR.
Randall and other prominent Demo-
Gratis, as the strongest candidate for
President in 1888, continue to be
made. Such suggestions are no
doubt put forth in good faith, but
they seem to us quite premature.
1t is q whole year too soon to dis
cuss this question intelligently. The
party needs to wait and watch the
development of the Labor movement,
to observe what Congress and the
Administration accomplish this win
ter, and above all to study the bear
ings of tie election next year.
There is time for good many
things to happen between now and
June, 1888, that will and must influ-
ence both parties in the choice of
their Presidential candidates. Pre-
mature booms are apt to be self-ex-
plosive. Sufficient unto the year is
the politics thereof.

RETURNING PROSPERITY.

The report of the Postmaster
General shows that the net increase
of revenue in the department for the
last fiscal year was 30 per cent, and
that the volume of business by which
it was gained increased over z per
cent. This is but another proof of
the fact which commercial and other
statistics establish, that there has
been steady and gratifying return
of business prosperity during the
past year and a half. The way in
which this country has refused to go
to ruin under Democratic rule would
be very depressing to prophets of
evil less brassy than are those of the
Republican party.

Il desire to state that a great deal Of

these very rascals, although there are
some honest men who really need as
sistance. The very men who were
killed the other night drew charity

Reply to ]. H. Hayden.

To the Editor OF the Ledger.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Nov. ga
careful and analytical reading of J.
H. Haydon's reply to Democrats
Showed Under" fails to bring to the
surface any argument worthy of no.
tice. Indeed, he does not touch the
main question at all, but on the con-
trary slip-shods off on something
which he charges Democrat with
having done, or rather instigated,
during the late political canvass, and
which democrat never heard of
until he read it in Haydon's master
ly (?) argument in reply to "Demo-
crst." Democrat asserted that
Prohibition, under the decision Of
the Eighth United States Judicial
Circuit Court could not obtain with
out compensation to the owners of
the brewing and distilllng establish
ments whose property would be de-
stroyed by the adoption Of a prohib-
itory amendment to the constitution.
Mr.. Hayden does not refer to this
feature Of the matter, and why? be-
cause he knows that it is not the pol
icy and the purpose of itineramt Pro-
hibitionists to enlighten the people
| upon this feature Of the effect Of the
adoption of such amendment.
If the people can be deluded into
the adoption of Prohibition it is all
they want, and the question of taxa
tion for the purposes of compensation
they propose shall be held in obey
ance and not brought to the front
until it is too late for the tax-paying
people OF Missouri to realize the
burden they have voted upon them
selves.
Let Mr.. Hayden answer this
straight-out and direct question
Will he vote for Prohibition with
compensation
Let him bear in mind when an.
swering it that compensation is not g
question for him to determine wheth.
er the people shall be taxed to pay il
or not.
The courts, so far as they have
passed upon the subject, say the
owners of such property shall be re
imbursed for their loss. If the high
er courts affirm this ruling, and ther.
seems little doubt Of it, will Mr.
Hayden pay his part Of the tax tt
compensate these brewers and dis
tillersi or will he resist it! If thu
latter, then his character as a goot
citlzeI and moral reformer is subjec
to just criticism.
As before remarked, trust th,
Legislature will submit the amend
ment, but when it is submitted let i
be with compensation, so that th'
electors shall make no mistake upol
casting their votes. Let them hav,
all the light that 1t is possible for th
General Assembly to shed upon 81
important subject, DEMOCRAT.

THANKSGIVING DAY has become q
recognized institution. Whatever
may have been the fortunes of the
average man, in so much of his way
as he has passed over, there has
been in it something of sunshine,
along with perhaps, much of gloom.
And for that sunshine he should give
thanks, as well as for the gloom be-
ing no greater than it was. Nothing
is so bad that it may be no worse,
and though it seem one here or there
has right to say: "Why should l
give thanks!" let him but look around
and he cannot but notice himself
rich in many things of the greatest
worth. Consequently Thanksgiving
should not be so much an obligation
as pleasure. To turn the mind, il
only for little while, to higher and
better things, is gsod and wholesome
for the soul to that extent of time,
and in setting apart one day for the
same purpose, who knows but that,
properly used, it may not be the
source of such an awakening of the
spirit to nobler impulses, that from
its happening there may begin q
newer and sweeter life. Like mer-
chants, who almost by chance drop
into the counting house and look over
the books, we may at these times
find such column of debt or credit
as will startle or lead us into keeping
q more correct account between this
and the promises OF Heaven.

Boems Capt. Shields.

AHe uiSSinsVuie ToSt, NJ ehe coh-
clusion of Capt. Shields meeting
there speaks of its result as follows:
Stress of other business and de-
mands on our columns last week
prevented us from noticing the tenn
perance meetings conducted by Capt.
D. K. Shields. The meeting closed
Tuesday night after lasting four
weeks, during which time nearly
1,100 people signed the pledge, some
of them confirmed drinkers whom no
other influence nor effort would per-
haps have ever reached.
The meeting and its results speak
for themselves. The good accom-
plished is beyond compute, and the
seed sown will bear abundant fruit
in years to come. Capt. Shields
came here stranger to our town and
its people, but il is not to much to
say that he has endeared himself to
the people, and no where can he find
more devoted friends than in the city
of Higginsville. He met with some
opposltion-what movement for the
betterment of humanity does not?
The opposition came, however, from
those whese buslnes was threatened
from others who were too much pre-
JUDGED to give him hearing. No
man could long sit under his earnest,
eloquent appeals without being con
vinced by his argument and won
over to his cause. His soul is in this
work, and it does not take him long
to convert his hearers, make them
his warm partisans and enlist them in
the cause for which he so eloquently
pleads.
He is man of wonderful resource
in the way of argument; rich in il
lustration, effective in his appeals,
strong in logic and convincing in the
application of his telling points. He
is as far removed from the common
place temperance lecturer as it is
possible to conceive and we do not
believe that any other man could
have accomplished the work that he
has done in this county. After the
first few nights the Opera House was
packed at each meeting. Next to
John B. Cough we believe that
Shields is the most eloquent, the most
: persuasive, the most convincing
and the strongest temperance lec-
} turer ever on the platform in this
: country; and in this view we are
sustained by every unprecedented man
who has ever heard him. He advo.
Gates temperance from a religious,
: moral and scientific standpoint. His
! platform is comprehensive and broad
: enough for every American citizen tc
stand on, and no man who loves his
: church, his home and his country
E should ever hesitate to enroll himself
: in this cause. Temperance reform
Is the great, the overshadowing issue
8 now before the American people, anc
if ever it be met and settled it viii
d be done, in our opinion, upon ths
lines and in pursuance of the policy
: advocated by Capt. Shields.
