Mexico weekly ledger., 1888-10-11

During the course of the present
campaign, Professor J. P. Blanton,
of the Kirksville (Mo.) Normal
School, has made several Demo
cratic speeches remarkable for their
eloquence and effectiveness. For
this, he is of course criticised by an
unreasonable Republican paper
here and there, but even these dc
not claim that he has neglected his
duties as a teacher, or that he is
not. thoroughly efficient in his po-
sition as the head of the Normal
School. Professor Blanton is a
citizen of Missouri and the United
States-consequently, free to make
as many political speeches as he
pleases in time that belongs to him.
If it could be shown that he has
devoted to political speaking time
that did not belong to him, we
would be ready to condemn him
Or if it could be shown that as an
employe of the State, receiving his
salary from Republicans as well as
Democrats, he had slandered his
employers or any of them, we would
again be ready to condemn. But
he has done nothing of the sort
He has told the truth In public
speeches, and he has told it on his
own time. We hope he will con.
tinue to do so, as often as his othel
public and private duties will.

"Perfect Quiefv

A nervous looking man went into
store the other day and sat down
for an hour or so, when a clerk
asked him if there was anything
she could do for him. He said no,
he didn't want anything. She went
away and he sat there a half an
hour longer, when the proprietor
went to him and asked him if he
wanted to be shown anything.
"No," said the nervous man. 81

sician has recommended perfect
quiet for me, and says above all
things / should avoid being in

lation." The merchant picked up

him, but the man went out. He
said all he wanted was a quiet life.

THE SENATE TARIFF BILL.
An Estimated Reduction of rs
Millions Made.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-Mr. ALI.
son from the committee on finance
reported back to the Senate the
House Tariff Bill with an amend
ment in the nature of a substitute
It was placed on the calendar and
ordered to be printed. He said
that the majority and minority re.
ports, to accompany the bill, would
be filed tomorrow or Friday, and
gave notice that he would call up
the bill for consideration on Mon.
day next.
The substitute for the Mills
Tariff Bill embodies an entire re.
vision of the tariff schedules anC
the administrative features of the
present law proposing the re-enact.
ment of all such features as, in the
opinion of the majority of the com.
mittee, ought not to be changed.
According to the estimates made
by the committee, the bill provides
for a total reduction of about 75
million dollars, made up approx
mately as follows: Sugar, $27..
$4,000; free list, Sc, 500, 900; tobac'
CO, internal revenue, s24, 800, 900;

BLAINE LIED, AS USUAL.
The Election in Maine Shows q
Clear Republican Loss.
From the BROOKLYN Citizen.

From the brooklyn Citizen.
Mr.. Blaine's political revolu-
tien" is dwindling to something
very like a "scare." The jubila-
ton with which that eager person
claimed everything and an
nounced that his party had actu-
ally held its own as compared with
1884, proved how thoroughly he
had been alarmed in his own State.
Manifestly, in spite of all the in
fiuence that had been brought to
bear to make grand display in
Maine, the Republicans had no
confidence in their own case. The
reaction that came when they found
that the Democrats had been pay
ing little or TO attention to the
State, and that it was still Repub-
lican after all, prompted them to
call their mere escape from disas-
ter a great victory. Mr.. Blaine
thought that to have held up the
plurality of 1884 was as big a thing
as the most sanguine Republican
could hope for. But, as usual, Mr..
Blaine has claimed too much.
The plurality of 1888 is not equal
to that of 1884. The Democrats
have gained, without any special
exertions and on merely local is
sues, 2, 154 votes, and the Republi-
cans have relatively lost since 1884
nearly 1,5OO of their plurality. In
stead of being 10000 this year it is
little more than $1,000. Perhaps
when the official figures come in,
after the Western Union Telegraph
company has done monkeying with
them, they may get down to IT,
500. This serious loss in the Re-
publican show State is what Mr..
Blaine calls a "political revelu-
ton"
An interesting fact is that the
Democratic gains were made in the
manufacturing and fisheries dis
tricts, proving that neither the
tariff scare nor the rejection of the
treaty has helped the Republicans
a particle, both having, in fact, re-
coiled upon them.

Hardin College Notes.

Mrs. Walton, of Salisbury, and
Mr.. and Mrs. Mcclure, of Colora-
do, visited their daughters at Har-
din College this week.
Among the pupils entered lately
at the college are Misses Collins
and Aurand, of Clinton, and Miss
Archer, of Hot Springs, Arkansas.
Prof. Yancy already has pupils
from Texas, Colorado, Kentucky,
Illinois, and Iowa, and is expect
ing others from Dakota, Colorado,
Kansas, Arkansas and Kentucky.
The day pupils, as well as the
regular boarders of the Institution,
are doing excellent work. The
general work of the school has
never been more satisfactory than
it is this term.
The two literary societies were
lately organized, with Miss Emma
Williams, of st. Louis, as Presi-
dent of the Comedian, and Miss
Lola Phillips, of Henderson, KY,
as President of the Polyhymnian.
The young ladies propose editing
and publishing, very soon, a school
magazine.

lege, returned from a visit to the

A Big Incendiary Blaze.

COLUMBIA, Mo-, October B.
Columbia has been treated to sew
eral incendiary fires during the past
few days. On Saturday night the
door of the Statesman Office was
set on fire, but was discovered by
a young man sleeping in the office
and extinguished before any serious
damage was done. A like attempt
was made to fire the McAlister
Lumber Co.'s lumber yard, which
was also extinguished. This morn
ing about two O'Clock fire started at
the back of RAIDERS hardware store,
and some eight buildings, covering
almost the entire block, were con-
sumed. The loss is estimated at
from $4,000 to $4,000, most OF
which is covered by insurance.

As Mr.. Thurman was about To

ged and barefooted urchin, with a
bundle of papers under his arm,
ran up to him and piped out
"Paper, sir =? All about Thur

The old man stopped and smil-
ling benignantly on the little fe Low
asked:
"Who is Thurman, my boy?"
81 don't know, sir" promptly
came the answer.
This pleased the old gentleman,
immensely, and patting the boy OH
the head he chuekled 10 himself
something about "fame" and pass

of the amused spectators. The

The best way of acquiring good
manners is by mixing with really
refined, agreeable, courteous, clever
people. Uneonsciously one takes
the tone from them, and the les
son is an easy, pleasant one. Of
course some people have charm
of manner all their own-they were
born with it, it is a gift, just like
a sweet voice, but by cultivation 1t
can be made more fascinating.
True politeness consists in be-
ing easy ones self, and in making
everybody about as easy as enc
can.

A CORRESPONDENT of the New
York Sun, who is at present study
ing the campaign in Indiana,
writes to that paper exposing a de-
ception which has already been
exposed, but which is not yet fully
understood by the people at large.
The correspondent referred to
writes:
In one respect the people of the
whole country are deceived as to
Indiana. The pilgrimages to Gen.
Harrison's home are not what
they are represented to be.
The railroads are working up these
excursions at low rates, and are
daily bringing crowds desirous OF
seeing Indiana's big city and State
fair now in progress here. The pill
grims are not wholly Republicans,
either in fact or by avowal. They
are mainly sightseers. Their num-
bers are habitually overstated. A
band that came while the Sun re-
porter has been here was published
as numbering 400 souls. AS mat
ter of fact, the railroad sold only
1919 tickets. The alleged 400 were
called Republicans and reported
to have called on Gen. Harrison.
AS a matter of fact, few of them
did so, and there was no proof that
all of these few were Republicans.

THE GRAND RALLY.
A Red-Letter Day for the Democ
racy of fAudrain-Circular
Letter.

The executive committee Of the
Mexico Cleveland and Francis
Club has written the following cir
cular letter to Democrats of Au-
drain county:
MEXICO. Mo-, October 8, 1885,
DEAR SIR 1t is the intention of
the Democrats of this vicinity to
arrange for a grand rally of the
Democracy of Audrain and adjoin-
ing counties on "Wednesday, Oct.
18th, the date set by the State
Committee fer speaking at Mexico.
Mr.. Francis, Mr.. Norton and other
nominees of the party will be here,
and an invitation has been sent to
Senator Vest and other distinguish
ed Democrats to address the peo-
pie.
1t is our hope to make the oc-
casion a red letter day in the his.
tory of the Democracy of Audrain.
We want to surpass the grand
demonstration of four years ago
and we want your valuable assist
ance. 1t is necessary to organize
clubs in all neighborhoods, to the
end that the interest may become
general and a full turnout be had.
We will arrange for a monster
parade at night with fully 1000
torches in line. Cannot your
neighborhood turn cut a strong
representation? We want to send
the whole ticket out of Audrain
with a rousing majority this fall
and increase the representation of
the county in the various conven-
tions. See the Democrats of your
neighborhood at once, organize and
prepare to be in line on the 18th.
All organized clubs and others
desiring to participate in the pro-
cession are requested to report to
the Grand Marshal as early in the
day as possible.

Big Betting,
From the Sedalia Democrat

FROM the Se&ail2 Democrat.
One of the heaviest bets OF the
campaign was made IN this city
yesterday by Late Barnard, Re-
publican, and Conductor Jack Mil
hern, an enthusiastic follower OF
Cleveland and Thurman. Lafe is a
Hoosier and a red-hot Republican,
and of course is sanguine that Ah
Ben Harrison will carry Indiana.
Yesterday the two gentlemen, in
company with several friends, were
discussing the political situation
when Mr.. Barnard gave it out cold
that the Republican standard bear
er would sweep the country,
Indiana certain. Jack differed
with him, and offered to bet $3.50
even that Indiana will cast its
electoral votes for Cleveland and
Thurman. The bet was taken, the
contract drawn up, and certified
checks placed in hands of a stake
holder. On the evening of the 9th
day of November Colonel Barnard
will be a wiser and poorer man.

Longest Session Known.

The present session of Congress
lis, or will be, the longest ses-
sion known to American history.
The longest heretofore was during
the Thirty-frst Congress, which
was in continuous session three
hundred and two days. The pres
ent Congress has been in continu-
Gus session three hundred and four
days, with a fair prospect of a
considerable continuance, making
the longest session known to Amer
ican history. 1t will be apt to con-
tinue its session until the Decen-

The Upchurch Monument.

J. J. Upchurch, who is recogniz-
ed as the father or founder of the
Ancient Order of United Workmen,
lies buried in Bellefontaine ceme-
terry, St. Louis. For a long time
the order has had under considera-
ton the erection of monument to
his memory, to be erected over his
grave. Up to last advicss only
So, 900 had been raised, but a syste-
matte canvass is going on and will
soon be finished. The largest
subscription paid in is 81, 600,
which was from Mount Olive lodge,
St. Louis; Jefferson lodge, of the
same city, has subscribed $500,
but the amount has not yet been
paid. The monument is to be of
red granite, and the plans are be-
ing drawn. Upehurch was prac-
tical benefactor of mankind, and it
is appropriate that his memory
should be thus honored and his
grave not go unneglected, which
has been the fate of the graves Of
so many distinguished citizens who
have gone before him.

Annie Dickinson is said TO get
5000 from the Republican cam
paign committee for each speech
which she delivers in Indiana.
While this is profitable and pleas
ant for Annie, il must harrow the
souls of John G. New and other
practical Indiana politicians TO see
SO much good money go to waste
when il might exert an immense
amount Of real political influence
in crisp 50 bills. But then, unlike
the campaign of18So, this is q CAM
