We think there are many rea-
sons for good property being high
in this beautiful and centrally To-
Gated city. Mexico has a bright
prospect of becoming a very large
town, for we are now beginning to
develop our coal and clay interests.
No doubt there is an inexhaustibie
supply of coal and clay under Mex
leo and her surrounding country,
This invites manufactures and we
must only encourage them to secure
for our city ample employment for
hundreds of men at good wages.
Our present advantages and attrac-
tons demand that property in our
midst should be valuable. Our grand
educational advantages are growing
better and better-they are now ex-
celled by no city or town the size oil
Mexico in the East Or West: AS
for water and electric light, we have
them both, and all other model i'm
provements except paved streets,
and likely they will follow soon. All
in all, we have a live, progressive
city, with exceedingly encouraging
prospects for the future. Buyers
pay too little for homes in Mexico
oftener than they pay too much.

upon him the strong hand of the
sanitary authorities within IS hours,
A plumber, instructed thereto by
Coxey, has obtained a Permit to
lay down water pipes to the camp
and to make sewer connections.
Quite a number of Coxey's fol-
lowers obtained furloughs to-day
and washed themselves and their
clothes in the muddy waters of the
eastern branch Of the Potomac.
Others were put to work removing
the garbage and dumpage which
ornament their chosen quarters.

the person named is stamped as a

STONE SAYS IT'S ALL RIGHT.

ernor VIM. J. Stone gives it as his
opinion that the Democratic plat.
form will be Endorsed and that har-
mony will prevail in the Democratic
State Convention, which meets in
this city May 10. Governor Stone
arrived in the city this morning.
He came from Jefferson City to at
tend a meeting of the State Board OF
Equalization, which is inspecting
railroad property which is assessed
by the state.
The Governor is a delegate to the
State Convention from Vernon
county, and when asked if he ex-
pected to attend the convention, he
answered in the affirmative. II will
be there unless something unfore-
seen occurs" he said. II know of
no reason why | should not attend"
"What stand do you expect the
convention to take on the policy of
the national Administrations was
asked.
1.-The convention will undoubtedly
be harmonious" answered the Gov
ernor. 1.-The Democratic platform
will be adopted and all will be peace.
There will be no trouble. The fell
lows who are talking about trouble
are idiots and mischief makers.
They don't understand what they
are talking about. We will have no
trouble in the convention"
1t has been decided that the State
Central Committee viii have it's
headquarters at the Coates Hotel,
while the Aurora Club will have its
headquarters at the Midland. Every
day the indications of a large at

Cost OF Wheat and Corn.
The Department of Agriculture
has made some neutrality-suspicious.
as to the relative cost of raising
wheat and corn. The results are
obtained from estimates made by
$4,000 practical farmers in the case
of wheat and over % 900 in the case
of corn. In connection with these
reports advices were received from
1000 graduates in various agricul-
tural colleges now engaged in farm
ing and the second result, it is stat
ed, tallies very closely with the re-
ports of the practical farmers. In
New England the cost Of raising
wheat is S20.22 per acre, and corn
$2S.03 per acre. In the middle
States it is $18.1S per acre for wheat
and $21.53 for corn. In the West
ern States the total tor raising wheat
is S1Q.S9 and for corn $11.OS, on
the Pacific Coast S13,9S tor wheat
and $3.50 for corn. The average
of the entire country is given at
S11, 50 for wheat and S11.T for
corn. By the statistlcian's report
in December the average value of
wheat per acre was 1918 and corn
SIS 81, showing a loss of $3.50 for
wheat and $3.50 for corn. In this
estimate the value of straw and the
stalks of corn is not taken into con-
sideration. The State giving the
smallest cost price is South Dakota,
SIS. so for wheat and Kansas $500
on corn. In this statement is figur-
ed rent on the land and cost of
manure. A great many farmers
do not take these two items into
consideration.

THE IMPRISONED JUDGES.
The Matter of State Rights to be Test
ed and a Clash Between State Au-
th0rities and the Federal
Court Imminent.

JEFFERSON Cry, No., May I'll
The designations of judges Copen-
haven, hewitt and Lyons, the i'm
prisoned Judges of the County Court
of st. Clair County, who we're a few
days ago removed from the Jackson
County Jail to Henry County, is be-
lieved here to have been the result
of a decision to bring the matter to a
test of the rights of the state of
| Missouri.
1t is doubtful if the latest plan OF
the Judges to obtain their liberty
and escape imprisonment will sue
coed without a struggle'in the courts,
and it is probable that a clash be-
tween the state authorities and the
Federal Court will result.
4 year ago Judge Philips OF Kan
sas City and Gov. Stone had a tilt
over the right of the Federal Court
to interfere with State officials in the
discharge of their duties, but the
discussion was terminated before it
became serious. 1t is known that
Gov. Stone is anxious to have the
Judges released from Jail and re-
. sents the manner in which they have
been handled by Judge Philips. He
holds that they could not make the
required tax levy without violating
a state law, and so have been con.
stantly threatened by both Scylla
and Charybdis.
Judge Philips has declared thai
the judges could not get out of jai
by resigning, and it is certain that he
will refuse to recognize their resig
, nation, and will claim that they can.
not escape his jurisdiction until they
) make the required levy or receive ar
order from him for their liberty. A
bitter fight is certain if Gov. Stone
f adheres to the strong sentiments ht
, expressed in his famous State:
5 rights message and the imprison
ment of the st. Clair County Judges
may be reproductive ofevents which
will form interesting reading in thu
history of Missouri.
The three Judges who had beer
in jail in Kansas City for eighteen
| months for their refusal to compl,
{ with the order of Judge Philips o
; Federal Court to make a levy to pa,
the bonds issued by st. Clair count.
: for the Tebo & Neosho railway, wer
transferred to the Henry county jai
; last Sunday by order of Judge Phil
& fps. No officer went with them ant
; they carried their own commitment
in a big envelope. They did no
!. know until an hour before train tim
: that they were to be transferred.

Col. Breekinridge Should BE Beaten.
Col. Henry Watterson's Editorial in the
Courier journal.

tot. henfy attefson 5 Eulioflai III Ius
Courier journal.
The Courier-Journal profoundly
regrets the necessity which compels
it, as a duty to the public and DEM
ocracy, to depart from its rule of
strict neutrality between contending
candidates of the Democratic party
prior to the verdict of a convention
or primary election. But the situa-
ton in the Ashland district, I'M
fortunate as it is unprecedented,
makes it imperative that every
journal which has the good of the
party at heart, which cherishes the
honor of Kentucky and which ap-
preciates its obligations to society,
shall protest with all its power
against the reelection to Congress
of Col. w. C. P. Breckenridge.
We do not underrate what he has
done for his party and the cause of
tariff reform in the past. But even
if his ability for further usefulness
were not destroyed by the miserable
scandal which has darkened his
name, the party could not afford to
accept his services at the price it
would be forced to pay. It is idle
to attempt to obscure the issue with
sophistical distinctions between
Col. Breckinridge's public and pri-
vate life. The case has gone far
beyond the possibility of that.
The question simply is, do the
people of Kentucky propose to send
as a Representative to Congress the
man whom Col. Breckenridge con-
fessed himself TO be in his testimony
before a Washington lury?. 1t is a
question which transcends the linn
its of the Ashland district and of
the State itself. 1t is a question in
which the people Of the entire ma
ton are deeply interested, and it
is a question which we have no
doubt will be answered by the citi-
zens of the Bluegrass in a manner
which shall not only vindicate their
own ~self-respect, but crafty the
millions of worthy men and women
who are the mainstay and hope of
our Republican civilization, and who
are shocked at the mere possibility
of an official honor to such a man as
Col. Breckenridge, at such a time as
this.
That part of his speech Saturday
devoted to the scandal in which he
has figured were better passed over
in pity. 1t was a strange exhibit
ton of marvellous %effrontery, wretch
ed taste and mentally and morally
oblique cssuistry.' 1t is amazing
that such a plea could be made by
one of Col. Breckinridge's intelli-
gence and age.
