CHRysANTHEMUM SHOW.
The Largest Floral Display Ever Civ
In st. Louis.

In st. Louis.
ST. Louis, Nov. The second an
nual chrysanthemum show of the st.
Louis Florists club opens this after.
noon at 5 o'clock in the Grand Music
hall of the exposition. 1t will be the
largest floral display ever given in st.
Louis, and will not be confined to ex-
hibits of chrysanthemums, as premiums
are also offered for roses, carnations,
cut flowers and palms. The general
exhibition committee, composed of
Messrs. j. M. Jordan, John Young,
Alex Waldbart, Julius Koenig and
Robert E. lesson, have been working
assiduously for the past month, and
judging from the large number of en-
tries already made it looks as though
their labors will be crowned with sue
cess,
This evening the awarding commit
tee on chrysanthemum plants, consist
ing of E. w. Guy and Robt. F. lesson,
will award the premiums on plants,
and on each successive evening awards
will be made on n or more classes of
piants-roses, carnations, cut flowers,
table decorations, etc.
The premium for which there will be
the keenest competition will be the
one for the handsomest table decora-
ton, which will be awarded Friday
evening.
There is also considerable interest
manifested in the premium for the best
new Seeding chrysanthemum which
has not yet been introduced to the
trade. The new varieties grown by
the leading florists have been kept hid
den, and will be seen for the first time
this evening.
The large hall will be one immense
garden of chrysanthemums, roses, car
nations and palms, and a tremendous
crowd is expected to be present at the
opening.

The Century Magazine i'm 1898.

1t would be hard for a person who
cares for good reading to make a bet
ter investment than a years sub
scription to The CENTURY MAGAZINE.
No region is too remote, nc expense
too great, if it will only produce
what the CENTURY's readers want.
This is the policy that has made it
as the PAIL MALL BUDGET, of Lon
don, says, ''by far the best of the
magazines, English or American"
The November number begins a
new volume and contains the first
chapters of a powerful novel of New
York society, called, "Sweet Bells
Out of Tune" written by Mrs.
Burton Harrison, the author of 1.-THE
Anglomaniacs." In this story the
fashionable wedding, the occupants
of the boxes in the METROPOLITAN
Opera House, the ''smart set" in
the country houses are faithfully re-
fiected, and the illustrations by
Charles Dana Gibson, LIES we'll
known cartoonist, are as brilliant as
the novel.
In this November number begins
also a great series of papers on "The
Bible and Science" opening with
"Does the Bible contain Scientific
Errors?" by Prof. Shields, of Prince
ton, who takes decided ground that
the Bible does not contain scientific
errors of any moment, and who
most interestingly states the case
from his point of view. Other artic-
les in this series will include n in
the December (Christmas) number,
"The Effect of Scientific Study upon
Religious Beliefs"
An important series of letters that
passed between General Sherman
and his brother, Senator John Sher-
man, is also printed in November,
which number contains also con-
tributions from the most distin-
guished writers, including an ar
ticle by James Russell Lowell,
which was not quite completed at
the time of his death. The suggest
ion which Bishop Potter makes in
the November CENTURY as to what
could be done with the Worlds Fair
lift were opened on Sunday, is one
which seems the most practical So
luton of the problem yet offered.
The December CENTURY is to be a
great Christmas number ,-full of
Christmas stories, Christmas poems,
and Christmas pictures,-and it
will begin the first chapters of a
striking novel, of life in Colorado,
Benefits Forgot" by Wolcott
Balestier, who wrote, "The Maui
ahka" with Rudyard Kipling.
Papers on good roads, the new
educational methods, and city gov
eminent are soon to come.

Mexico weekly ledger., 1892-11-17

As THE complete returns from ths
remarkable election now more than
a week old come to hand the exact
condition of affairs revealed by the
count of the ballots is worthy of 8
close study.
The solid south vas only shaken
in one small spo! by the dynamics
of the canvass, while the entire north
received a SCATTERING blow. That
one spot was little Delaware, which
out of its handful of votes was on
ly able to give a plurality of half a
thousand to the Democrats, who
four years ago had a plurality of g.
AL in that State. When one re.
fleets, however, hat in the great
State of Ohio the voters of the two
parties we're so evenly matched
that the electoral vote apparently is
divided, there is small wonder that
Delaware's Democratic plurality
should be whitfield down to such
proportions.
At the north, Notwithstanding a
general parting of majorities, New
England, with the exception of Con-
necticut-and with New England,
Pennsylvania, Iowa, Minnesota and
Michigan-stood up stoutly for the
Republicans. California, Nebraska,
Montana, Wyoming, Washington,
South Dakota and Oregon escaped
narrowly from the clutches of DEM
ocrats or Weaver1tes. Ohio trem-
bles in the balance, the probability
being that % of its electoral votes
will go to Harrison and 1 to Cleve-
land. All the other states belong
to either the Democrats or the Popu-
lists. The 444 electoral votes will
be cast as follows: For Cleveland,
|26S; for Harrison, 1853; for Weaver,
%.
What Of the Peoples Party? With
its Democratic allies it has carried
the States of Kansas, Colorado, Ne
vada, North Dakota and Idaho. 1t
almost captured Nebraska and South
Dakota. 1t made a hard fight for
Oregon, and may even have secured
one elector there. 1t polled a heavy
vote in Minnesota, Alabama and
other states.

Missouri will likely be given a
cabinet position. This being the
case Governor D.. r. Francis will be
the representative of Missouri in
Grover Cleveland's ''family". Gov.
Francis, as the LEDGER happens to
know, is a particular friend Of Gro
yer Cleveland, who appreciates his
executive ability, sterling integrity,
force of character, and ability and
willingness to work. There is no
more efficient and conscientious
worker in Office anywhere than D.
R. Francis, Governor Of Missouri.
His bitterest enemy cannot point to
a single mistake made during his
administration. He has made a
model, business Governor and would
make a most efficient and excellent
cabinet officer.

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION.
Goyern0r Francis Asks That All Mis-.

Twenty Fourth.

JEFFERSON City, Mo-, Nov. a.
Governor Francis issued the follow
ing Thanksgiving proclamation to-
night:
The people of Missouri have
abundant cause to return thanks for
the manifold blessings of the past
year. Peace has prevailed, pesti-
lence has not invaded our borders !;
bountiful harvests have rewarded
our labors for these and for the
priceless heritage of a free govern
ment, founded to afford equality OF
protection and of opportunity; for
the fraternal sentiment that pre-
vades our people; for the continued
prosperity and progressive develop
ment of the State, let us unite in
grateful acknowledgment to the
Giver of all good.
In accordance, therefore, with the
Recommendation of the President of
the United States, /, David K.
Francis, Governor of Missouri, do
appoint Thursday, November "a,
1892, a day of thanksgiving and
prayer.
On that day | call upon the peo-
pie to obstain from their usual secu-
lar occupations and in their places
of worship and at their firesides to
give expression to their appreciation
| of the b~eneficence of Almighty God
and reverently ask for continuance
| of the Divine favor. Let them show
their worthiness of blessings conferr-
ed by doing good to others and by
manifesting that broad spirit OF
humanity which should character
ize an intelligent, happy and CRATE
full people.

JUDGE JAMES GIBSON of Kansas
City has been i'll for some days and
had to be taken to the polls in a
carriage to vote. Judge Gibson is
worn out with the hard work which
he did during the canvass. No man
in the state worked harder for the
success OF the ticket than did James
Gibson, one of the defeated candi-
didates for the nomination for Gov
ernor. He is a thorough Democrat
and when defeated supports the
ticket as heartily and cordially as
if his name was upon it. The Dem
ocratic party is not accustomed to
forget Democrats made of such stuff

Possible Source of Democratic Strength

IL oCSAokS " " vi SkA II n
II IS not likely 70 be overlooked
by the members of the LITId con-
Lgress that the territories of New
Mexico and Arizona have an amia-
BILE bent toward Democracy. They
would form an addition to the solid
south, and its needs only a congress
ional enactment to make them such.
This action would give four more
Democratic Senators at the capital,
increasing the plurality of Demo
Gratis in the senate to a majority.
1t now seems probable that the
victorious party will go into the
LIIId congress with forty-three
Democratic Senators, as against
forty Republican Senators and five
from the Peoples party. The two
latter bands working together might,
if they desired, put a bar to Demo-
cratic legislation. The four new
Senators would give the Democracy
9 total of AZ votes, a clear majority
of 2 over all.
Moreover, the Democrats will not
forget that two new states full of
Democratic voters would probably
make an agreeable addition to that
party's list of presidential electors
in 1896.

The plan of the Missouri State
Teachers Reading Circle proposes
that wherever convenient local cir
cles Of five or six be formed and that
they hold monthly meetings at some
convenient place for the discussion

recommended that the teachers in

decide upon a course of reading and
send their order for books to me i'm
