Mckinley on the Change.

'"The people of this country voted for a change and they got it. They may be deluded once, but cannot be deluded twice on the same thing. It is not the lack of money, nor the currency from which we suffer, but it is a lack of con- fidence and the uncertainty as to the future tariff legislation. Manufactur- CTS are now working on orders only, and careful to sec that those who buy their products arc able to pay for them. The result is that thousands and tens of thousands of workingmen are out of work and the mills are closed. What we do want is a certainty as to busi- ness. We want to know, when we make product, what kind of products we are to meet in the, market, Our manufacturers are not going to make goods with tariff materials and protec- ton wages when they may soon have to compete with raw materials and wages that are lower We have the mere expectation of free trade now. Give us the real free trade enacted into law and prices will go still lower. We are now troubled with uncertainty.
 You can stop and wait to sec what the future will be, but you cannot stop and wait without putting out into the streets one million laboring men who would be employed at good wagessif it were not for this uncertainty. Stop ping and waiting mean demoralization and death to business. ."-Gov. Mckinley

ABOUT PIN CUSHIONS.
Fashion Has Once More Declared
 in Their Favor.
Lace and Ribbon Essential to True Ele- gance-Noveities That Are as Dainty as oainty Can Be-Hat-
 Pin Cushions.

At first thought pin cushion Is . prosaic thing It is highly necessary object, a receptacle for an essential ele- ment of the toilet-mayhap a conven- fence which we should none of us like to be without. A search among the assortment of to-day will reveal some fresh and interesting facts, and will show that the cushion has developed out of the prosaic into something genu- inely dainty and genuinely attractive apart from its obvious use.
 There are almost as many varieties of cushions as there are of pins. and the well equipped woman has many sizes and many sorts. She not only has her dressing table well supplied and her hat pins, her scarf pins, her stick pins and her plain everyday pins provided with fitting receptacles, but she has also her pocket cushions, which she carries in her shopping or haudker- chief bag.
 A bright girl once paraphrascd the familiar couplet with:
 "A pin in need
 Is Q friend indeedr'
 and doubt if there lives even one of her sisters who would question the truth so put The want of pin has many time become a vexation and @ trial; the need of just one of the fa- miliar objects has been the cause of many loss of temper, and the fashion that declares cushions essential is an excellent one from an ethical as we'll as from the merely utilitarian point of view.
 The very latest decree of fashion de- clares lace and ribbons essential to true elegance, and prefers that the dressing table cushions should be round. It asserts that pocket cushions are to be the vogue, and it makes sug- gestions for both my lady's boudoir and for less asthetic mans own room, as well as for his pocket cushion, which is really what it's name implies.
 The round cushions of embroidered linen and lace are nearly as dainty as dainty can be, and the long, narrow, rectangular ones made from the same or similar materials are charming apart from their usefulness, which is, of course, the first point to be borne in mind.
 As pretty model for lady's use as any that have seen is made of fine white Japanese linen, Oriental lace and yellow satin ribbon. It is one of the largest shown and would measure niOa ar ton inphac in 6iomatar It ;c well stuffed, as all cushions, not es- pecially round cushions, should always be, and it has an under side of cowslip

MhH AuIrniu HuIni Net.

In the local option election last
Saturday, Audrain county went
wet" by majority of 2S1. The
people have evidently got tired of
seeing Mexico sell all the liquor
while the balance of the county was
"dry. "-Centralia Quart.
Mexico did not sell all the liquor
by any means. In less than month
after local option went into effect
in this county just as much whiskey
could be had as before the people
voted the county dry. But the man
that wanted it had to lie to get it ;
also the man that sold il violated the
law. 1t worked a dual iniquity in
these two points. Where there IS a
demand there will be supply-if
not legally, then illegally. In no
case that is recalled has local option
been success. All kinds of schemes
were entered into by buyer and SELL
er to evade the law. The only way
to deal with whiskey is to slap the
high license onto it. The people of
this county realized that they had
the full benefit of representation
without taxation under the local op-
ton law; in other words, plenty of
whiskey sold and no revenue de-
rived. The people saw it was a mis-.
erable failure. This is the reason
they voted the measure down.

HE GOT SIXTY DAYS.
A Farmer Who Severely Chastised His
Wife Given Taste OF the Law.

Morris Welch, who lives in the
vicinity of Cant, is a farmer in a
small way and is a recent acquisition
to Audrain county from Illinois. He
is said to be an industrious fellow,
but the bane of his life is the drip
pings from the still-wooing the
nectar yielded from the country's
staple product and sold over the bar
under the high license system.
When Welch "tanks up"-which
has been quite frequent of late-he
thinks, to regulate family affairs in
his household, it is his duty to
abuse and mistreat Mrs. Welch, who
is a timid woman and does not re-
sent her husbands indignities.
Last week Welch, IL is alleged,
whipped his wife in a brutal man
ner. Her brothers swore out war
rant for his arrest and Constable
Bunton went out and got him. This
morning he was brought before
Squire Tomlinson, who sentenced
the prisoner to 60 days in Jail. The
Squire, in passing sentence, took
occasion to give Welch some excel
lent advice, which he promised faith
fully to heed. Welch held up his
hand and told a LEDGER reporter be,
fore he went behind the bars that he
would never take another drink of
whiskey. "Here,'' said he, 81 am
in a nice fix. Got my crop all in
and me in Jail until after corn-cut-
ting time"
1t is said that Mrs. Welch was
severely beaten up by her husband.
They have four children. The abused
wife will bring suit for divorce. Her
brothers say she has already stood
Welch's ill-treatment too long.

X, M. Whites Address.

In a lengthy report of the proceed
ings of the Missouri Press Associa-
ton, in session at Clinton, the st.
Louis Republics special correspond
ent says:
The first paper presented was by
R. nj. White of the Mexico LEDGER.
His subject was ''News and Newspa-
pers." 1t was strong and vigorous,
and presented many progressive
thoughts. He said he knew how to
run newspaper because most of Lis
subscribers had told him how. He
claimed it was not the mission of q
newspaper to vilify contemporary;
that the people were no more con-
cerned in what one editor thought of
his competing neighbor than they
were in what one butcher thought of
his neighbor. He took still stronger
position; that newspaper is no
more party organ than it is per-
sonal organ. The news, editorials,
advertisements, and all should be of
such a nature that the most fastidi-
Gus could read it with impunity in
the home circle. He suggested that
inasmuch as journalism is as much
of profession as is law or medicine,
and welding tar greater influence,
colleges ought to establish chairs of
journalism.

Mrs. Pearson Admits Hsr Guilt,

JOPLIN, Mo-, June 22.-There is
no longer any doubt that Mrs. J. E.
Pearson, of this city, and the erst-
while evangelist, Leigh Vernon, went
away together. The father Of the
woman, Rev. VIM. Sparks, of Pitts
burg, Kas., has received a letter
from his daughter, postmarked on a
railway mail route in Canada, in
which she acknowledges that she is
with Vernon, and says that pursuit
of her would be useless. While in
Joplin, Vernon said he liked adver-
tising, and it is the purpose OF the
Pastors Alliance, of Joplin, to give
him more than he desires. 1t has
been ascertained that Vernon ap-
preached other women. While in
Joplin he sent his wife and two
children to California before leaving
with Mrs. Pearson, and has aban.
doned them. Several gentlemen
prominent in church work loaned
Vernon various sums OF money
which he has failed to repay.

OVER at Paris the whole town
turns out to see the "katy Flyer"
go through. The other day Editor
Rlanton got too near the track
and almost received a paralytie
stroke from the force OF the passing
flyer. The same train took the
breath away from Joe Burnett and
carried it on TO Hannibal before
it was fully decided upon whose
fragrance of new mown hay was
aboard. When the train sailed past
the crowds at the Paris depot hats
and bonnets flew in every direction
and the feathers were blown off of
a dozen chickens in a coop on the
platform. Nothing like it was ever
witnessed in Paris, although they
have had a railroad for several years
and occasionally freight or dirt
train stops there. The appeal says
the Flyer run from Evansville, IS
miles, in % minutes. A magnifi-
cent, glorious feat! But the Chi
cago Il Alton Hummer comes in

There won't be any more niggers
sold in Missouri either for life orsix
months. The Supreme Court on
Monday, Judge Sherwood writing the
opinion, declared the vagrancy laws
of Missouri unconstitutional. This
was the law under which the niggers
at Fayette, Mexico and Marshall
were sold last spring for a period of
six months. The test case was that
of Thompson, taken from Mexico by
Mr.. George Robertson, attorney for
the Chicago & Alton, and by Mr.. F.

bash, of their own motion and at
their own expense. The court holds
the law unconstitutional on plain
