THE SYNOD.

Next week Lexington will belong to
the Presbyterians. 1t viii: be a week
when all other Lexington denomina-
tons must 60 to the rear, and let their
good brethren of the Presbyterian
church take full and complete posses
sion of the town.
The Missouri Synod meets here next
Tuesday, and there will be delegates
from every church in the state, as well
as many notable visitors, some even
from foreign lands. Lexington seldom
has the privilege of entertaining such
a distinguished body. This assembly
will be made up of people who do right
because it is right. They make 1t their
business to do good. They have been
entertained by other towns before this,
and they know what good treatment
is. But they must know more about
it when they leave Lexington.
They come to DISCUSS their work of
the past year and plan for the work of
the future. They will be royalty well
coined in our homes, and generously
treated while there. Their presence
will make this q better town; their
ministers will preach in our churches;
they will pray at u firesides; they
will bring messages of Joy and love, of
life eternal.
Lexington gladly welcomes the dele
gates. She has entertained Christian
conventions before this one, but she
will make this welcome her best one.
She will receive this "Army Of God'
IN the spirit Of love, and make their
stay here a sojourn of pleasure.

OLD HI BLEDSOE.
He Has Just Returned From the Bat
tlehelds Around Chicamauga
aud Lookout Mountain.

Col. Hiram BIedsoe and Mai. Perry
o. Grub were in the city yesterday,
en- route home from attending the
inaugural ceremonies at Chicamauga,
says the Jefferson City Tribune.
They YER appointed by Gov. Stone,
under an act Of the legislature to marx
the grounds occupied by Missouri
troops during the great battle a. Chic
amauga, Lookout Mountain and vicin-
Ity, and $1,000 was appropriated for
this purpose. Both were active par
Elephants in the battle, but on different
sides. They erected seventeen mark
ers and three monuments, which are
said to be the best on the field. The
markers are six feet long and the mon
uments 7x5 feet. One OF the monu-
ments Is dedicated 10 the confederate
soldiers and two to the fsderals. Both
Col. Bledsoe and Maj. Grub enjoyed
their visit very much.
Col. Bledsoe has q very vidid recol-
lection of the battle, as he fred the
opening shot from his famous battery.
He commanded the First Missouri
battery, which consisted of four ~
pound pieces, and was In the hottest of
the fight, and his artillery made havoc
In the federal ranks. The. federal
regiment to which Maj. Grub belonged
was ordered to capture Bledsoe's bat
terry, and in this way Col. Bledsoe and
Mai. Grub obtained an insight into
each others fighting qualities. ave
vn.Aa II hot Coz ola IT; - said NJ;
Grub, ''but while we wero doing so
he made matters very unpleasant for
u.s."
These men are now the warmest of
personal friends, and both believe the
war Is over. Col. Bledsoe is much the
Oldest man. He served in the Mexican
war, and there obtained a training that
proved 70 valuable to him during the
civil war. Time has not bowed his
giant frame. He is still as straight as
an arrow and as hearty as a grizzly
bear. He has q kindly face, and bears
no outward signs of the savage warrior
that he q He u q modest as a
school girl, and it is next to impossible
to get him to talk about his famous
battery and ihe many stirring events in
which he was the central figure. While
listening to him talking about the big
corn crop in Cass county it is hard to
imagine that he it was who kept such
a livid hell in front of cannons that
nothing could live within their range.
But times have changed. In place of
cannons and munitions of war, and
commands that meant death and de-
struction, Col: Bledsoc devotes his
time to the peaceful occupation of
agriculture, and the most striking COM
mands he now issues is to his negro
hands to be sure and feed the mules
regularly.

PASSING THE HAT.


A few days ago it looked as il the
administration would have to issue
another batch of bonds to support the
gold reserve; but Is several state cleo
tions are about to be held, the admin
istrxtion don't believe It Is right to
issue these bonds until the people
have voted Tho fall. Another reason
assigned Is that another bond issue
would revive the .ssilver craze"
In order to keep q little life in the
s'third term" boom, and to prevent
even the astute East from joining the
silver states, another scheme has been
hatched out. 1t is this:
The administration will call on the
banks, which it has SO generously
befriended, to let the treasury have all
the gold they al spare and take green
backs, &c., in return.
BY this scheme it is expected to raise
e8e. 0O0, 900. This will prevent q
bond issue for the near future, but the
scheme Is not so particularly good
after all.
A nation whose resources are greater
than those of any other country on the
globe, should do business on business
principles. II q private citizen wants
gold he goes and borrows it. So
should the nation. This thing Of

MIR. HERBERT NOW TALKING.

"WAsHINGTON d. c., Sept. 80, 1895.
Secretary Herbert left today for the
south where he will make several
speeches on the currency question:"
The above telegram is taken from q
daily paper. The announcement that
Secretary Herbert was going south is
not OF more interest than would be the
announcement that he was a gold bug.
But read that telegram. 1t conveys
the intelligence that the secretary is
going to make ssspeeches on the cur
rency question:" There is nothing
even remarkable in this, until we COM
pare the present with the past.
Had this been an announcement that
he was going down in Kentucky to
speak for a democratic ticket it would
have invoked the applause of q nation.
Had such an one been made last year
1t would have enthused and encouraged
democrats the nation rel No such
announcement was made and nom will
be made. MIR. Herbert is a member OF
Mr.. Cleveland's cabinet. He holds his
Office by virtue of the democratic party,
combined with C~leveland's remarkable
power Of discovery.
Last year when the democrats of the
south were struggling with all their
might and main to carry the south, to
prevent negro supremacy, federal cleo
ton laws and force bills, MIR. Herbert
was not allowed to make democratic
speeches. In other words the federal
democratic appointees were not allowed
by the president to support the party
ticket on the stump and assist the
south in defeating all chances Of force
bill legislation. Tennessee was almost
surrendered to the force bill advocates.
Kentucky now is swinging in the
balance; Missouri was put in the re-
publican column; all because Of an
undemocratic administration.
Mr.. Herbert and bis associates were
not allowed to speak for their party
ticket, for honest elections and against
force bill rule, but now that Wall street
wants to fasten the gold standard on
the nation, MI. Herbert is in the south
making gold speeches.
This administration is in closer SYM
pathy with Wall street than it 10 with
the people. Mr.. Cleveland would veto
a force bill, but he has shown that he
would not urn a hand to prevent one
passing congress.

OFFICE SEEKING,

Ever since the children Ut Israel
crossed into the promised land, mans
highest ambition has been to serve his
country. 1t is a grand privilege to be
in a position to ask ones countrymen
for their suffrage and confidence. II
Is a great honor for n to serve his
country in any capacity whatever, be
the Office great or small. It, however,
is the right of any individual to ask
for an Office, and there Is no DISPOSE
ton on the part of any party to restrict
the ofice-seeking business. But Office
hunting, to pay, must be done on an
honest basis. The day for demagogues
has gone forever.
Office seekers hereafter must be
what they seem, and seem what they
are. The day has come when the
people are going to elevate the pro-
fesslon for the politician. The day is
here when double dealing to get .
government job will not be counter
anced, but will be repudiated by the
people.
The INTELLIGKNCKR believes In politi-
cal parties. 1t believes they are neces-
sary, but it also believes that the virtues
of the parties will in the future be deter
mined by ITS principles, as we'll % by
the men who advocate these printiples.
The people are looking around today
for honest, conscientious men to put In
high places; men Of character; men
of convictions, and courage to express
them. The man who in this age starts
to get an Office by deception Is the
biggest fool out Of In asylum.
To all official aspirants who read
this paper we make these suggestions :
II you can't serve your country with
out making = complete sacrifice Of your
principles;
II you have no convictions upon
issues of government;
II you have convictions and not
courage to express them;
II you would not make your election
q grand triumph Of principle instead
Of person;
II you can't trust your judgment TO
form convictions for yourself, and are
willing to trust 1t to lead your country
men;
II You are not willing to assert your
principles when called upon by men
who are interested 10 good govern
ment-
Then forever stay out Of politics, and
60 into q business that Is better suited
to your nature.

ELECTRIC LIGHTS,

There has been several bitches In
the elictric light matter, but time seems
to have ~untangled tho affairs. and IL
will not be long before there will be q
$26 900 electric light plant IN opera
ton here. The much mooted %, 900
bridge subscription is now In the hands
of Treasurer ChansiOr, OF the Bridge
company. and IL cash Is . guarantee
the guarantee is good.
The city council meets Monday night.
That body will doubtless pass the
ordinance in controversy over the
mayors veto. This will be done, how
ever, with the sanction of Mayor
Taubman.
The complications that have arisen
in this matter have been the subject of
some little adverse criticism, hut the
fact still remains that il the contract
with the company was q good thing
two weeks ago it is good now.
Lexington needs electricity, and she
needs 1t badly. She may, by waiting
II few years, get q better or cheaper
contract than this one, but Lexington
has waited long enough for these i'm
provements. She has waited now until
every piece Of property In town has
suffered by depreciation. She can
afford to wait no longer.
The contract calls for cheaper lights
than given any town in the state, and
We could not ask any more. Electicity
is getting cheaper, it is true, but 1t is
equally true that while Lexington's
hands are folded her property values
are going down. Let's wake up and
add some Of these modern improve
ments ere we are bound hand and foot
by the demon Of retrogression and
decay.

Lexington INTELLIGENCER.
The speeches Of Riley Hall saved the
state of Missouri to the democracy In
1S92.-Richmond Conservator.
1t is nonsense to say that Riley Halls
speeches carried Missouri In 1892, or
that any other mans speeches did it.
But il Hall did assist the ticket, it was
while he was advocating democratic
principles, and long before he had sold
his people out for q few government
jobs for his family. Hall is q demo-
crat for Hall and his family.

support that part of 1t which declares
both gold and silver to be the money

ment. In short, as the question of the
equal coinage Of both gold aud silver
as the money metals Of our country is
paramount to all other questions at
present, be who would win the on
gressional race must declare himself
favorable to restoration Of silver coin
age, and must adopt as his rules of
faith che platform Of the Pertle Springs
convention Of August 6, last. As
much as Lafayette county democracy
