REPUTATION is A GREAT

REPUTATION is A GREAT
thing in the commercial world. The
reputation of being able to do some
thing or make something better than
anybody else, is a sure sign of future
success, however slow it may be in
coming. We suppose other firms
could make as good as the Chiffon
Paints, if they would take the same
trouble and go to as great expense.
Busses5 hingly they do not think it
Worthwhile. Other firms turn out
as much, and more paint in a year
than we do, but they don't turn out
as good. We concentrate our ener-
gies first on the quality, the output
is sure to increase later. We make a
pure Inseed oil paint. We guaran-
tee it to be more durable, and to
cover more surface than any other
paint made. Its excess of cost over
others is far less than its excess Of
quality. Look for yourself at some
of the buildings covered with Chill
ton Paints. Ask the owners about
it. Invest fifteen cents in a pound
can and see for yourself.

The most conspicuous feature of the
ReViea0 CT Reeiesos for March is u study
of the recent course Of American general
politics as Interpreted by four public men
who have recently passed away-nameiy,
Messrs Blaine, Lamar, Hayes aud Butler.
The article is by Pref. Ii. P. Judson, of
the Chicago University, who Is head
dean of the university colleges and a
thorough student OF American history and
politics. It is interesting to note the
broad and hopeful iona Of Professor Jud-
sons dicussion. One may suspect that he
is Republican In politics, but his article
is almost wno.,,y free from bias. He has
warm sicc Tor nfr. -Biuiuey -p~vsiesais>sis
for The broad conceptions and aims of Mr..
Blain's later years. Professor Judson
gives, what he considers the present-day
significance OF the Monroe doctrine, and
nothing could be more timely than his
discussion Of this subject His tribute TO
the late Justice Lamar is one which that
distinguished staiesmen's friends will ap-
preciate for Its breadth and hearliness. Up
on the whole, MIR. Judson's study of our
political life from the reconstruction peri
cd up 10 the retirement of Mr.. Blame from
the Harrison Cabinet, is perhaps the solid
est and meatiest paper that has appeared in
any of the March magazines. II Is to the
credit OF the Repie,o Of Revie,os that
while other periodicals are somewhat
flinching from solid elaborate discussion,
this magazine invariably gives ample space
10 each number to one well developed sub
ject without putting space limitations upon
the writer. The other parts OF the maya
zine are managed upon the plan Of strict
condensation, but the main feature Of the
month is always elaborate and expansive.

race track bills are condemned by the very
men whovoted for them, in that they were
so rapidly rushed through both Houses.

Mexico weekly ledger., 1893-06-22

THE Mexico LEDGER has a right
to be proud of the part it took in
bringing about the decision of the
Supreme Court of Missouri on the
vagrant law as it was enforced in
this state. No one who has not seen
this law put into actual effect can
appreciate what an abomination it
was. The press of Missouri, with
perhaps one or two exceptions, was
unanimous in endorsing the LED
GERS position in reference to this
matter which is attracting SC much
attention all over the United States.
We are proud to know that, while
this law had been enforced to a
greater or less extent throughout
Missouri, Mexico has the proud
distinction OF promptly moving in
the matter. Our people r almost
unanimously opposed to It and
heartily commend attorney Robert
ION in his habeas corpus proceeding
which proved successful in remov.
inr this blot from the grand old
commonwealth Of Missouri.

. LETTER FROM MR.. GODFREY.
He is Much Delighted With the Speci-

Mr.. C. O. Godfrey, on receipt of
specimens of coal taken out OF the
Davis coal bank, writes the follow
ing letter which will be of interest to
our readers:
To C. C. Davis, Esq, Mexico, Mo.
ST.. LOUIS, June 19.-DEAR SIR:
1 have your letter of June Is, to-
gether with sample of coal, and l
admit that | am surprised at its
quality. You will, however, remem-
Der that l told you, as l did Mr..
Anderson, that the locality where
the boring was done was the most
practicable in the vicinity, and that
for the reason it was away from the
breaks and natural formation. l am
very glad that you have found it.
and it will very largely enhance the
value of your property. Now, what
sort of lease are you inclined tc
give me- it 1 will open it? And would
the Mexico people put in any money
either as advanced, or loan, or joint
owners, and how far is it from the
