Supplies OF Fruits and Vegetables
Equal to the Demand.

SACRAMENTO, Oct. 20, 1892.
The markets yesterday were in plentiful
supply of the majority OF Fruits and Negeta-
bles Tropical Fruits are pretty well dis
played, but the quality is far below what
could be considered as fancy or choice arti-
cles. There were quite large invoices of Mexi-
can Oranges, but they We're small and green.
Yet, as there was a scarcity of Oranges in mar
ket they found ready sale ut 80 cents per
dozen. Lines are III abundant supply and
viii likely reach.
There is absolutely no change in figures for
any other line of Produce, receipts and arri-
walls being about equal, and quotations re-
main stationary.

JERRY SIMPSON TALKS.
Weaver and Polk VIII be The Peoples
Party's Presidential Ticket.

WASHINGTON. D. c., April IA
Congressman Jerry Simpson says
the Peoples party viii carry eight or
ten States in the presidential cleo
ton, and that this viii throw the
election of President into the pres
ent House.
In the next Congress Mr.. Simp-
son looks for the presence of notless
than 100 Peoples party members.
Of the eight in the present House
he says they are united, harmoni-
Gus and well-disciplined group,
maneuvers as a unit on all impor-
tant questions, but of course, in the
presence of so large a Democratic
majority, their eight votes do not
make much of a showing.
However" said he, s'it was our
votes that prevented the tabling of
the Bland silver bill. We could
not prevent the filibustering, but we
did prevent the tabling. In the
next Congress we expect to have the
balance of power and to be in a posi-
ton to make our conviction and
purposes effective in Legislation. "
He also said he thought the popu-
lar ticket would be Weaver and

Pernicieus Legislation.

From the st. Louis Post Dispatch.
The paddock 'tPure Food" bill is
a specimen of the most pernicious
paternalistic legislation. In the
first place it undertakes to supersede
the police power of the States over
matters of sanitary regulation by a
most remarkable expansion of the
Federal power to regulate interstate
commerce. In the next place it
proposes to annex to the Agricul-
tural Department a bureau OF in
spection with blackmailing power
over interstate commerce which cam
not be safely intrusted to bureau of
ficials. The authority to subject
every article of food, medicine or
drink to a costly chemical analysis
and to exclude condemned brands
or trade marks at will from the cham
nels of commerce between the States,
is too inquisitorial and too suscep-
tible of abuse. The bureau ap-
pointed and controlled at Washing.
ton to exercise such a power, could
afford the people very little protec.
ton which they cannot better pro-
vide for themselves by local legisla.
ton and would be extremely liable
to degenerate into a hot-bed or cor.
ruption and fraud.

Many people who would reeoil
with horror from cutting a human
creatures throat, which really does
not hurt very much and only lasts a
moment, will murder a woman s
good name without remorse or COM
Function; and that hurts worse than
death for a lifetime. 1t is meaner
crime than murder. We cry out,
and rightly, too, against the sensa-
tional and depraving habit of max
ing heroes ofrobbers and cut -throats.
1t is a horrible thing to do. And yet
[ have less of hatred and loathing
for the late Jesse James than | have
for some people who have never
been convicted of a capital crime,
but whose tongues we know are
worse than any knife that ever sew

Notes and Comments.

1t is said that ammonia in baking
powders causes discoloration of
the nose. Possibly many alb
stemious citizens have been greatly
misjudged. They have been par
taking of ammonia biscuits merely.
The latest use of electricity is in
the battery just approved by the
trustees of the Newark City Home
to punish unruly boys. They think
it is "more merciful than the rod"
but how can they tell unless they
were given a dose of both =?
1t is believed in England that ar
bitration might settle the Newfound-
land troubles as it promises to do
those of the seal. Possibly; but so
long as men have imaginations and
love angling diplomacy will never
thoroughly take the place of less
roundabout lying concerning fish.
The late Roscoe Conkling refused
to attend his daughters wedding be-
cause she chose to marry railroad
train hand. To-day that young man
is at the head of one of the biggest
railroad systems in the country.
The daughter appears to have bet
ter eye for genius than the old gen.
tleman.
An excellent illustration of good
management by executors is fur
nished by the Tilden estate, which
has increased in value fully 81 ,00O,-
OOO while in the hands of the three
men entrusted with its care. This
is a good showing; but it would be
much more satisfactory to the COM
munity at large if the public were to
reap the full benefit through the
| carrying out of Mr.. Tilden's desire
and intention in the matter Of a
public library on the scale designed
by him.
The other day Private John Allen,
Congressman from Mississippi, en-
tered the House at the close of a roll
call, and several members shouted
out for him to vote. ''Mr. Speaker,
how did Col. Moore vote on the
question: The inquiry was un-
usual but the Speaker informed him
that Col. Moore had voted aye
"Then | vote aye said the joker
II don't know what the bill is, but
Moore was my colonel in the con,
federate army, and he never led me
where there was any danger, and sc
/ I'll stick to him. -

Correspondence of the Ledger.
LApDoNIA, Mo-, April 13.-Hon.
Champ Clark spoke at Browns
Hall Saturday night. 1t was a
Democratic speech throughout, and
was listened to with profound at
tention. Mrs. Clark accompanied
her husband and seemed to EN- Joy
her visit much. She is very pleas
ant lady and took quite an interest
in the speech.
The coal miners at the well get
out coal very slowly-not near
enough to supply the demand.
Many think it would be well to stop
mining there altogether, as the base-
ment is larger now than will be re-
quired for water. 1t is thought the
well will fail to fill up, being such a
basement below to fill.
The G.. A. R. order had supper
here last night.
The horse show here last Satur-
day was well attended. The town
was full of people, and all the
merchants had big trade.
A baby girl has come to dwell
with Mr.. and Mrs. Byron Barton.
Miss Maggie Torreyson has been
quite sick at her brothers here, but
we are glad to state she is now inn
proving.
There are few children in town
that are seemingly growing up for
the penitentiary. They can steal,
lie, swear and fight well now.
Some of their lies are equal to those
of old and reliable iars-nothing
childish about them. They are great
"rumagers,' and love to look in
places where they should not and
take what they want.

A DIAMOND RING AND LAMP.
j. N. Pollard and Leslie Ferris, two
Liberal Merchants, Offer Prizes to
The Second and Third Most
Popular Teacher i'm the
Ledger Contest.

j. M. Pollard, the ieweler, and
Leslie Ferris, the hardware dealer,
added to their already extended popu-
larity this morning by announcing
that they will give two valuable prizes
to the teachers coming out of the
LEDGER teachers contest second
and third best. The teachers of
Audrain county may justly appre-
ciate this manifestation of liberality
and kindness by these gentlemen.
DIAMOND RING.
Mr.. Pollard has in his show case
a diamond ring which is not only
beautiful, but valuable. The teacher
who comes out second best will be
presented with this souvenir. The
honor attached to becoming the
recipient of this ring by friends cast
ing their ballots for you enhances
the prize and should make the win
ner feel proud, indeed.
VALUABLE HANGING LAMP
Will embellish the home of the
third popular teacher in the contest.
1t is a beautiful thing and Mr.. Ferris
is exceedingly generous in Offering
such an exquisite prize. 1t would
deeora the handsomest home in
the county. 1t is genuine Rochest-
er, with lifting fount, beautifully
trimmed and is a leader as well as
a novelty. This lamp retails for
$15 and if you viii drop in his store
and see it you viii think it worth
the sum.
The contest will close May 4. The
teacher who is victorious over the
long list of contestants will be sent
to the review term at the Chilli
cothe Normal School at the LED
GERS expense from the time she
leaves Mexico until she returns.
The lucky three can pose with a
great deal of satisfaction while the
defeated candidates will have moth
ing to regret-only they didn't win.

am sixty.six years old. In August, 1889, was
troubled with the peculiar skin disease to which
people of my age are subject, known among medi-

the ankles. 1t rapidly extended over the lower
extremites until my legs were nearly one raw sore;
from legs the trouble extended across the hips,
legs and arms greatly swollen with an itching,
burning pain, without cessation. Although the
lest medical advice attainable was employed, no
less than five physicians of the place being con.
