THE LEDGER suggested that it
thought Clay would write a card de-
nying the report about his thinking
of running for the Legislature, in the
kindest OF spirit. Clay's political
friends, and not his enemies, were the
cause of this report, which was even
announced in public meeting at the
court house and reported in the In
telliqencer. The LEDGER did no,
have anything to do with starting
any such report, but its editor, On ali
occasions, said it was all bosh that
Clay had too much sense to think oil
such a thing. In view of the posi-
ton Clay's friends kept him in before
the public. we presumed he would

WHICH GIVES THE NEMS2

The hatelligencer of last Thursday
made feeble effort to print tele-
graphic account of the strike of the
Chicago Packers, which ended in a
disastrous row, causing bloodshed.
The little recital they did have was a
''re-hash," copied partly from the
Globe Democrat, and was so condens-
ed as to be very unsatisfactory. The
LEDGER, of the same date, contained
over half a column, in small type,
relating to the deplerable affair
more than three times the amount the
Mtelligencer had, and in a shape that
some satisfaction could be derived
and information cleaned from reading
it.
Besides the foregoing important
item of news, the LEDGER contained
a full report Of the anti-Prohibition
convention at Chicago, the disas-
trous railroad accident near Edgar,
Neb., the drowning of four young
men at st. Louis, '.Foillng a mob
in Kentucky, and two or three col
umns of other late important tele-
graph news items, besides a correct
market report. Not line of any of
these happenings was printed in the
daily Intelligencer, and yet they were
all news items of moment, occupying
important positions in all the leading
daily papers of the same date as the
LEDGER throughout the country. We
reiterate: there is no use taking
the St. Louis daily papers; the
LEDGER each evening gives all the
more important telegraph news, and
much of it is even later than that
furnished by the morning papers OF
! St. Louis or Kansas City.
The people want a paper for the
news it contains, and we leave it to
the intelligent readers of this com
munlty to decide between the InteUi.
gencer and this paper. We are doing
our utmost to give cur readers q
newsy journal and how we'll we are
succeeding, let them Judge.

THE INFLUENCE of the LEDGER. &

THE INFLUENCE of the LEDGER, ac-
cording to its contemporaries regard
ed to be worth from $50 to $500,
that paper claiming that the LEDGER
agreed to nominate a real live states
man named Buckner (who; when re-
minded of the fact, some of our read
ers will remember, ran for Governor
against Marmaduke) to the position
of Governor of the great state OF
Missouri for fifty dollars, (Which is
untrue) also that the LEDGER was to
get $500 for carrying the Water-works
proposition, (Which is also untrue)
though it done good work for this
enterprise. The Lateliigeneer, in
the face of those charges, acknowl.
edges to selling its space for 50 cents
to a mythical man for constable
over the regular nominee of Sailing
township. We consider that oul

value of advertising in the two pa.

LETTER FROM HOWELL COUNTY.

fruit, wheat, potatoes and tobacco, also
for raising stock without attention.
have never mentioned the raising of to-
bacco before. A tobacco raiser presented
me with tobacco stalk which had two
leaves that measured is inches wide and
s5 inches long. He has one acre he thinks
will make 1900 pounds. he says he
raised tobacco in Kentucky for thirteen
years, and that this will beat Kentucky II
rightly tended. This tobacco is the White
Ruby. Another gentlemen has one.foarth
of an acre and says he will raise at least
45o pounds.
A subscriber of your paper wanta TO
know IL we have any apples that will
measure eleven inches around. have
one in my possession that measures LAX
inches In circumference, and 1t is q seed

apples are not as large as they were last
year. He says 1t takes from 30 10 80 10
I'LL half bushel measure this year, while
last year 25 to 20 filed it. II any readers
of this paper can beat this on tobacco or
apples would like 10 hear from them.
Potatoes are raised with but little cultiva-
| ton: both Irish and sweet are raised
every year without fail.
The farmers SOW wheat and plow IL In
with double shovel plows; this Is all that
is done. They always raise q good crop
Of first.class wheat.
When we say that tame grass does we'll
We mean II grows well. One man has 100
acres Of red clover, from which he cut his
first crop this year, and stacked 1t In v
shed. He sold It where It stood for
81, $50, supposed to be about two hundred
tons. This fall he cut over the saIno
ground and got what he supposed to be
seventy-fve tons, making an average OF
"a tons per acre, also getting $3.50 per
acre for his land by selling part. This Is the
way grass does here. Timothy and blae-
grass do equally well, but has not yet
been tested as TO its yield. Tame grasses
are used but little for pasture as the wild
grass furnishes ample grazing for all
kinds of stock.
The advantages Of this country In grow
ing stock and produce, together with its
mild climate and healthy situation, is not
to be surpassed by any other portion Of
the United States. think that my three
letters to the LEDGER will show the
numerous advantages "for both the rich
and poor" sufficiently that those who are
in search Of homes may find one In this
country, as described In the LEDGEa's
issues OF August 20, September 80, aud
October 81. Knowing that many VIII
read this in the LEDGER, hope they will
be benefited by it. W. NEwKrRK,

went as delegate to the Grand
Lodge of the Anti-Horse Thief As
sociation. He reports very pleas
ant and successful meeting, though
the hotel accommodations were not
sufficiently ample to entertain the
large number Of visitors present, but
the hospitality of the citizens made
up for this deficiency. Five towns
wanted the next NEE ting OF the
Grand Lodge -Kirksville, Mexico,
Trenton, Unionville, MAryville. After
several ballots resulting in q tic be-
tween Mexico, Kirksville and Mary
vile, the former came out ahead, and
this city was selected AZ the next
place Of meeting, the third Weines-
day Of October, 1887. When Mex
leo goes after a thing, sending relia-
bic, pushing men as representatives,

A NEW CORPSE.

Our friend. of the Iateligencer,
should be too much of lawyer (al-
though, on account Of fizzling in his
attempt to be elected prosecuting
attorney of Warren county soon af-
ter he had been admitted to the bar,
he came to the conclusion he was q
failure in this direction, and now de-
nominates all lawyers, without dis
tinction, "shysters'D to plead guilty
before half of the evidence is in,
and, in consideration of his connec-
ton with the Ltelltgencer, he should
be better sexton than to try and
hurry the corpse.
He started out to prove that the
editor of the LEDGER was not q Dem
ocrat, because his father was a Re-
publican. He wound up his case by
getting on the defensive himself and
trying to prove that he himself was
Democrat because he never scratch
ed ticket, at the same time not de-
nying that he had been a candidate
for some Office in said party from the
very time (if not before) that be was
old enough to. vote. OF course a
uan would vote the Democratic
ticket if his name was on it.
Next be tries to make the people
think that the editor of the LEDGER
demanded $50 of Judge Buckner for
supporting him for the nomination of
Governor, and, in the meantime, he
accepts 9s cents for supporting a
mythical man for constable over the
regular nominee. He acknowledges
the corn but says his limited acquaint-
ance prevented him from knowing
whether such man as Scholten was
running or even lived. For heavens
sake, he don't intend to admit that
for paltry SO cents he would even
support straw man against the nom-
inee If this is a fact he is even
mere stuck on money than he tries 10

SHALL WAR TAXES LAST FOREVER

OF all the dishonest and demagogic
campaign talk in Republican organs,
that is the worst which represents
the Democratic demand for preven-
ton of the surplus by reduction of
the war taxes as "agitation against
the tariff and "raid on American
industries.
The Republicans themselves have
"agitated'' the tariff question and
inkered the tariff much more than
the Democrats have. They made a
''horizontal reduction" Of 10 per
cent. in the duties in 1878 and restor-
ed the old basis three years later.
They diminished the revenue by en-
larging the free list. In 1882 they
''agitated'' still further by appointing
a Tariff Commi ssion packed with
Protectionists. This Commission
made ''raid on American industries
by proposing 20 per cent. reduction
in the average duty. A Republican
President and two Republican Secre-
taries of the Treasury joined in this
"agitation" and "raid'' by urging
the reduction. A Republican Chair
man of the Senate Finance Commit
tee approved the bill ostensibIy pre-.
pared for this purpose and declared
that it would reduce the duties 2C
per cent. and abate S40,000,000 tc
$50, O,OO0,O00 from the custom collec
tions.
This revision proved to be sham
| Instead of reducing the average duty
20 per cent, il lowered it only about
2 per cent. Instead of diminishing
the revenues $50,000,000 it lessened
them but $40, 100000. And it actu
ally raised the tariff on iron ore and
other articles. In acknowledgment
of this failure, the Republican Ma
tienal Convention of 1884 pledged
the party to correct the inequalities
of the tariff, as means of prevent
ing the surplus-more agitation.
I The revenue reformcrs, be they
democrats or Republicans, woule
be content for the present with tn,

and iudiciously made. IF that wal
