Mexico weekly ledger., 1892-06-02

Chinese portion OF Frisco Tonight,
We are not going sssiamming' and
do not expect to sec any such
eircuses as DIR. Parkilurst saw, but
win 60 clear through Chinatown and
aee it all, It is one Of the sights OF
the city, n OF the big sights it Is
also a product peculiar to this
climate, Climate has a great
deal to do with q great many
things,
At this distance we would think
some Of the politicians in the new
Ninth Congressional District OF Mis-
souri, we're being affected with the
climate. We would call their at
tention to the fact that sun strokes
are the direct result OF climate. The
Democrats of Audrain should keep
their skirts clean, protect their own
interests and see that skull-duggery
is promptly and everlastingly
knocked in the head. Nothing
should be done in the interest OF
any man hal may iniure the party
or sully its principles. The Demo-
Gratis of Audrain County know their
minds and do not propose to be
driven by cheap demogogues or
cheaper shoe-string political thugs.
Some people viii find this out after
the pile driver of public opinion gets
two or three more whacks ut them.
The LEDGER is now more inter-
ested in a Board of Trade and
paved streets in Mexico than in
politics, except that we propose for
Audrain County to have its rights,
whatever they may be, at any cost.
A VISIT TO "cHfNA TOWN"
SAN Francisco, May 25.-I I'M
glad to see from the LEDGER that
Prof. d. A. Mcmillan is not going
to leave Mexico. He is one of the
most thorough educators we know of
anywhere, and as a dieiplinarian
cannot be beaten. We congratulate
Col. Fleet on securing his services.
There are a very few McMillans
teaching school. There are teachers
and teachers, and Mexico enjoys
none but the best; we never have
any of the other kind
We went through Selma Town"
last night and we were glad to Ego
through" We had no inclination
to stop. There are $4,000 Chinese
in this town and they don't take up
any more room than would the same
number of rats. They live in eel
lars and sub-cellars. The thicker
they live the better they thrive. We
have several reasons for not writing
what we saw. Any one of the rea-
sons would be sufficient. Curiosity
takes people to "China Town" If
you have a friend you desire to cure
of curiosity, take him clear through
"China Town. and we will guaran-
tee a sure cure, although the cure
may be worse than the disease. Ben
Blanton, of the Paris appeal, has
learned the language quite well-so
well hat lie can drink coffee with
"chop sticks" You need not go
to China to see the heather in all
his glory and in all his squalor.
"China Town. in this city in every
sense of the word is just like a
Chinese city, if not more so.
We expect to visit Oakland and
Woodland tomorrow and will see
DIR. Macfarlane, formerly of Mexico.
Our route home is via Ogden, Salt
Lake City, Denver and Kansas
City. This is a great country here,
but the railroads bring all portions
of it close together, some portions of
it too close.
Do you think Mexico could pro-
duce a Board of Trade to build an
ark if it keeps on raining? Has it
rained any other kind of animals
except frogs? That story of the
frogs caps anything we have seen in
California. We had intended to
write several startling facts, but the
frog story knocks us out. We al
ways said the climate of Missouri
was marvellous. BoBWHTTE.
