From the ST. Louis Republic

Etblli tue OF. LOUIS Hepupltt-
Full newspaper circulation may
be expected for the Missouri Su-
preme Courts decision which wipes
out the legal sale Of Migrants at auc-
ton. The law was only al antique,
and like many others in every old
State had remained in the books be-
cause it was too rarely applied to
arrest attention. Nobody was fool
ish enough to suppose that it repre-
scented the spirit of Missouri, and
the Supreme Courts decision hav-
ing declared that it is obnoxious to
the letter of the Constitution, the
only inference is that the people of
the State are as far as those of New
York from lending c~ountenance to
enforced servitude except in punish
ment for high crime and under prison
discipline. The existence of the relic
was deemed worthy of publication
in the press, and the now apparent
fact that it existed only through its
obscurity is an evidence of the gen.
eral emancipation of the race from
ancient cruelty which deserves equal
prominence. There are traces of
blue laws yet in New England which
will be removed by isolated attempts
to revive them in practice as this
law was ended in Missouri.

The Sunday Question.
To the Editor of the ledger.

10 INC III VI tAS btuSVi'
MEXICO, Mo-, June 22.-As the
late decision of the court sustaining
the directors of the Worlds Fair in
allowing the public to visit it on
Sunday has occasioned much dis
cussion, it seems proper to recur to
the Sunday question for the purpose
of placing it in its proper attitude
before the readers of the LEDGER.
That the observance of Sunday or
a weekly Sabbath, is of the highest
and most vital importance to Christ
ianity is not tor a moment to be
questioned. Without it Christianity
could not be sustained. Worldliness
is so engrossing that it is absolutely
necessary for even Christians to be
stately warned against its seductive
and demoralizing tende ncies and
have placed before them the terrors
of a future judgment for their every
day contact. And if Sunday and
the teachings of the pulpit and the
reflections they arouse are necessary
to the welfare of Christians, of how
much more importance are they to
the reformation and good eonductof
worldlings? But Sunday has, and
always has had since it was estab-
lished, a civil and secular as well as
an ecclesiastical side. Weekly rest
is of as much importance to laboring
as to religious people. The human
system demands SO much rest and
the laborer car get it only by state
appointment. 1t is the only day on
which he can give personal attention
to the welfare of his family and on
that account alone it ought to be
maintained as a civil institution.
Religionists base their views of
Sunday upon the laws of Moses
which were of a mixed secular and
religious character and few readers
of the Old Testament pay any at
tention to that fact. Of the Sabbath
Moses wrote: Lev. 1913. "Six
days shall work be done; but the
seventh day is the Sabbath of rest,
an holy convocation; ye shall do no
work thereon. 1t is the Sabbath of
the Lord in all your dwellings," 1t
was not the law of the sanctuary, as
much as the clergy have striven and
are striving to make it SO. They
labor on Sunday in the sanctuary as
much as the priests did in the Tenn
Pile, to which the Fourth Command
ment did not apply. The church,
while seeking to maintain religious
observance of Sunday, should leave
the secular regulation of i. to the
state. NoNPARTIsAN.

The Repeal of the vagrant Law.

from the Louisiana Press.
The newspapers of Missouri with
commendable unanimity took up
their fabers in the cause of progress
and enlightenment when they
denounced the vagrancy law
and demanded its repeal. The
sale of the yagrant in Mexico
under that law stirred up some
of the people of that town and
aided calamity by the Mexico LED
GER they brought the matter before
the Supreme Court and that tribunal
decided last week that the law was
unconstitutional. Hon. Fred Leh-
man, of st. Louis, Geo. Robertson,
OF Mexico, and the LEDGER are emit
tied to much praise for the part they
took in the matter.

WashingtOn's Account Book.

George Washington's private
account book with the government
is at the Worlds Fair. This account
book that Washington kept with
the United States commenced in
June, of 1875 and continued until
June 1882. The first item reads /:
ITO the purchase of horses 1.-TWO of
which were had on credit from Mr..
James Pease) to equip me for my
journey to the army at Cambridge
as per the service / was upon
having sent my chariot and horses
back to Virginia-e239." Another
entry was "To 3331s dollars given
to-, to induce him to 60 into
the town of Boston to establish a
secret correspondence for the
purpose of conveying intelligence
of the enemy's movements and de-
signs" 1t was dated July Is,
ITS, but did not say whether they
had to give any money to 60"
to get his consent after he was in
duced.
Some ofour illustrious forefather's
accounts with the government SEEM
ed to have struck him as being too
small and some too large. At the
end, however, he appeared to even
up the thing with a sort of an
apology to the United States. He
evidently thought in balancing up
that he was too much the loser to
not get it all in.

Editor II. NJ. White.

The Missouri Editorial Associa-
ton is in session at Clinton and in an
article headed Editors Who Have
Been Honored," the st. Louis Re
public of to-day contains the follow
ing brief biography of the editor of
the LEDGER:
Robert M. White, editor of the
Mexico LEDGER, is the correspond
ing secretary. There is not in Mis-
souri, a more deservedly popular
man than Bob White. By good
sense, energy and enterprise he
has built up in Mexico n of the
best newspapers in the State.
When he assumed charge of the
Ledger in 1877 the paper had
neither circulation nor prestige to
speak of. Now both daily and
weekly editions are printed, the
weekly having perhaps the largest
circulation of any country journal
in his section of the State, and his
daily, always bright and newsy,
is in a healthy condition. Mr..
White has been president of the
Missouri Press Association, and
was elected president of the North
east Missouri Press Association, or
ganizedSeptember 1889. He has been
a delegate to every National Edi-
torial Convention, and at the meet
ing at Boston was made a member
of the National Executive Com
mittee. He is a New Yorker by
birth, but came to Missouri in his
youth and was educated at West
minister College, Fulton, Mo, from
which institution he graduated with
the highest hOnOrs.

GORGEOUS IN GATHERING GEMs.
Jewels of Engtaaa's Arist0eratte
i'ames at the Queens Reception.

s AT the last drawing room sof
Queen Victoria there was a carnival
of Jewels. One reckless woman the
Marchioness of Tweeddale, was ar
rayed i'm a white skirt whose many
seams were outlined with diamonds
and emeralds. The Duchess OF
Devonshire was a blaze of gems and
SO was tho Duchess of Buccleuch.
The marchioness seems to have
been the only one who sewed up the
seams of her skirt, SO to speak, with
Jewels, but there was quite a goodly
number whose bodice seams were
outlined with diamonds. One lady
worea long string of diamonds across
her breast, like an order. Jeweled
hooks upon which to hang their fans
were worn by most of the guests.
A quaint and beautiful fancy was
the placing of a diamond in the heart
of a rose worn in the hair or on the
bodice. There it nestled like a green
dewdrop-provided it was not lost
in the crush. Necklaces in profu-
sion were worn, and such was the
passion for display that these were
often supplemented by a band Of
velvet studded with stars. Birds,
butterflies, and flowers of jewels
were quite common, and the wells
were kept in place by long earrings
formed into pins, but with the PEN
dants free to flash out Kaleidoscope,
prismatic colors. The bodices fast
ened at the back with diamonds and
one waist had a fringe of diamonds
across the front. Jeweled girdles
were also worn. The turquois was
represented whenever it would har-
monte with the color of the gown.
Emeralds were much worn and the
present supremacy of mauve or
heliotrope had brought the amethyst
out in force.

A HANDLE TO HIS NAME.
How VIM. o. johnson Came TO be
Called "Captain."

Some people do not know that
Alderman VIM. 0. Johnson is just
ly entitled to the military dignity of
Captain, but the title came to him
indirectly from Gen. Price who, in
the early days of war troubles in
Missouri, commissioned Mr.. john
son a recruiting officer under Coils.
Jno. E. Murray and Daugherty.
Capt Johnson raised 160 men in
this community for the cause of the
South and was elected Captain of
the company. Coils. Murray and
Daugherty then had about 500 men
and were preparing to join Gen.
Price when Federal soldiers captured
both officers near Santa Fe and
brought them to Mexico, subse-
quently sending them to st. Louis,
where they were exchanged as pris-
oners of war. Both Colonies re-
turned to Price. Afterward Col.
Murray was drowned while crossing
the Mississippi from Illinois to Mis-
souri, on a recruiting expedition and
in order to reorganize his old COM
mand. J. &. Lakenan's father was
drowned at the same time. Capt.
Johnson aided the ''lost cause" in
many ways, besides liberal financial
assistance.
Alderman Johnson is not in the
best of health and dropped into the
LEDGER Office to-day for a little chat
before leaving for Ell Dorado Springs.
He expressed himself in favor of
taking down all wooden awnings
and cross signs, the opening of all
necessary streets and alleys, paving
the streets around the public square,
and any other improvements nec-
essary to make Mexico a city.
