COAL AT MARTINsBURG.

Correspondence of the Ledger.
MARTINsBURG, Mo-, June o.
This place is overioyed over the re-
cent rich find of coal right in town,
and a little history of our good luck
will no doubt be of interest. Some
time since s'The jolly Thirteen of
Wellsville made a contract with DIR.
Taylor and began sinking a shaft /;
they met with many hindrances in
the way of rain, but persevered. AT
a depth of 70 feet a vein AZ inches
thick was found which was consid-
cred extra good quality for home
use, but was not just what was
wanted for steam purposes. Not
satisfied, the shaft was sunk to a
depth of 102 feet, when coal of the
very highest grade was found in a
vein So inches thick. 1t is now be-
ing brought up in large quantities.
Our "Jolly Thirteen are all ex-
perienced miners, having sunk
shafts in Missouri, Illinois, Texas,
Ohio, and other states, and they as
sert this vein to be as good as any
ever found in their experience.
They say it equals the celebrated
Illinois coal. A car load will be
shipped this week and the company
is now ready to supply all local de-
mands and in the near future we
hope to be able to supply the Wa
bash railroad as well as Mexico and
other points. This whole section is
highly elated over our rich coal
find.

CHAMP cLARK's FAIRNESS.
He Is Not the Kind OF q Democrat
That Sulks and Kfcks-He Is
Straight Goods.

To the Editor of the Ledger.
MEXICO, Mo-, June 22.-Two
years ago at the convention which
instructed Audrain's delegates for
R. H. Norton for Congress, Champ
Clark, then the defested candidate,
being called for, came forward and
addressed the meeting in a strong,
manly, Democratic speech which
made such animpression upon those
that heard it that hundreds who had
before opposed him said then and
there if ever Champ Clark offered
for Congress again they would be
for him. In this speech Mr.. Clark
said: 81 confess it has been my
desire to represent this district in
the council of the nation. The peo-
pie have willed it otherwise and 1
accept their verdict. / am not the
kind of a Democrat hat kicks or
sulks. The people have decided
that l am not to be "a leader of the
vanguard hosts in this year of our
Lord and Master, 1890, but 1 hope
l may still fight as a high private in
the lower ranks, and, though / have
been defeated in what 1 deem a
laudable ambition, / submit most
cheerfully to the will of the people
and stand ready now, as always, to
answer any and every call of my
party to service"
This year, the county which gave
Mr.. Norton $50 majority then, went
92S in favor of Clark If Mr.. Nor
ton had held the party interest par
amount to his own selfish ambition,
he would have retired as Clark had
done before, giving his generous rival
a fair field and thus securing Demo-
cratic harmony and success. Not
even, after every inch of ground has
been fought and resulted in a victory
for Clark, unparalleled in the his
tory of politics in Missouri, is Mr..
Norton willing to hear and heed the
voice of the people. Mr.. Norton
has even seen fit to threaten the
party with defeat in November if it
dares to name another than he for
Congressional honors. This be-
havior is unworthy a man and a
Democrat. The more conservative
Norton men will, | am sure, con-
denim it. Even the Troy Free
Press, whose editor has made a gal
liant fight for Norton as long as there
was a hope of his nomination says:
"This talk of boiling is all rot
No man is greater than the Demo
cratic party" Four years ago Mr..
| Norton's attitude toward the party
was that of a supplicant. l do not
know by what right he assumes to
dictate the policy of the party in the
Ninth Congressional District, un-
less the adage must be verified,
''That beggars mounted ride theii
horse to DEATH" Macauley tells us
that during the trial of the Bishops
under the reign of James II OF Eng
land one Bishop named Trelawney
was so beloved by the people Of
Cornwall that they went all over the
country singing a song, the burden
of which is still remembered:
'.And shall Trelawney disS
And shall Trelawney dior
rthen thirty thousand Coraish boys
Will know the reason why"
The people have spoken in no un'
certain tones in favor of Champ
| Clark for Congress. They will have
| him or know the reason why.
Yours,
JOHN M. DAVIS.
