Morton on Money,

PHILADELPHIA, July 14.-The 1meri-
can publishes this week another batch
of correspondence between the Hon.
j. Sterling Morton, United States Sec
rotary of Agriculture, and Mr.. Edward
Stern of this city on the silver ques-
ton.
The following letter explains itself:
Edward Stern, Esq, Philadelphia, Pa.
WASHINGTON, d. c., July DEAR
SIR: am instructed by the Secretary
of Agriculture to respectfully decline
for him, or the ground of lack of time,
any further correspondence with you
upon the silver question. He thinks
that you are perfectly sincere in be-
ieving that legislation can remedy all
ills which humanity is heir to. He has
no doubt that legislation will, if it can,
make equal by statute the things
which nature made unequal and for
which mankind makes unequal de-
mand soon, by enactment-plough,
plant and reap. If legislation can
create 80 cents of value in a silver dol
lar weighing 1925 grains, it can, with
equal facility, create 100 cents of value
in a piece of pasteboard. If legislation
can create any value, it can create all
value. If it can make the promise to
pay a dollar equal to the dollar itself,
it can make 4 meal ticket as nutritious
as a meal, a milk ticket as nourishing

SENATOR PETERS NEW PARTY
1t Must Be Formed, He Says-Its
Motto and Platform.

Topeka, KAs., July 1~4.-Senatol
PETER is out for a new party. In 6
letter just published he says:
ga new party must be formed, be-
caused there is new work to be done
work that the 'other parties are not
fit to do. But it will be built on q
foundation deeper and broader than
free silver Or 'bimetallism,' for these
terms express nothing that reaches
the core of the troubles which con-
front US. It's motto will be something
like this: Let the people rule It's
platform could properly be short
plain and responsive to the needs OF
the times and could safely be construt-
ed on six pillars:
Get the people to work; pay them
for what they do.
Away with landlordism.
Out with the transportation monop-
oily.
Down with the money power.
Up with the people.
Live the Republic.

THE st. Louis Republic, in closing an
editorial regarding the action of the
State Democratic Committee in call.
ing an early convention, facetiously
remarks:
at is a matter of regret that the
people of the State have missed such
a display of eminent abilities on the
stump as no state has witnessed in
this generation. All of us have been
deprived of a spectacle which was
ours by the right of natural events.
Missouri has been a state of regular
majorities. 1t has only on rare occas
ions heard any of the distinguished
orators of either party, except its own
sons, and when one of them came he
presented a set speech with little of
that "arousement" which comes with
a close grapple.
But the chance has disappeared and
in it's fullness cannot come again. The
convention will be held without con-
test and without excitement. The
resolutions are already written. There
Is nothing to go before the delegates
except a few speeches already made
often and nothing for them to do ex-
cept help candidates for next years
nominations to play for position.
Pertle Springs is a charming little
resort. The time spent there ought
to be an agreeable period of recreation

The State Convention.
THE DATE rs FIXED FOR AUGUST
6 AND THE PLACE PER-
TIE SPRINGS.
All Efforts to Obtain a Delay Una
valuable No Agreements to De-
fer the Primaries Made The
Official Call Issued.


Tuesday, August 6, a MISSOURI DEM
ocratic State Convention will be held
at Pertle Springs to adopt resolutions
outlining the party policy on the cur
rency question. The basis of repre-
sentation will be the same as that of
the last State Convention, held at
Kansas City, May 10, 1894.
Yesterday the Democratic State
Central Committee met at the South
ern Hotel, and with practical una
nimity decided upon the action which
is outlined above. Despite the fact
that Congressman U. s. Hall, F. w.
Lehman, President E. c. Kehr, of the
Democratic Sound Currency Club.
Representative Thomas r. Buckner,
of Pike County, and other conspicuous
Democrats who cannot e the wis
dom of a Is to / declaration, demand
| ed time in which to make a fight, the
| committee fixed the convention a.
such an early date that anything like
an intelligent discussion of the ques-
\ Won III 1SobC 10 ouh ot Nv duSCbioh'
There was no agreement as to the
terms upon which a late convention
could be held, nor was there a gen.
uine attempt to arrive at any AMIGA
BILE settlement. The silver men could
not promise that the counties which
were dominated and controlled by the
central committees demanding an
early convention would not at once
proceed to call primaries throughout
the State. Whatever hope members
of the committee might have had be-
fore the meeting that a fair discussion
was possible was dispelled by the in
flammatory speech of II. NJ. Hill, who
appeared as chief spokesman for an
early convention, denouncing the
committee for its delay and threaten
ing the vengeance of the people.
Perhaps the hot weather operated
on some who are not inclined to make
unnecessary exertion. In any event,
there will be no contest; the oppon-
ents of independent free silver coin
age will, except in a few localities, re-
main away from the primaries, and
the Is to l free silver men will run
the convention to suit themselves.
Those who had expected a free sum-
mer show and a feast of intellectual
reasoning on finance will be disap-
pointed. Carlisle will not come to
Missouri. Wilson, Palmer, Villas, Mills,
Lindsay, Cochran and a host of others
will remain at home. Stewart, Jones,
Teller, Wolcott and "Coin" Harvey
will seek other fields.
1t will all have to be done over again
in 1895; and the oratory, the resolu-
tions, and all that sort of things, in
the dog days of 1895, will be no more
than an unobstructed expression OF
one side which the other side will not
accept as binding.

The Weight of Wisdom as to Pie.

" AN ApN tAitAI D'AA bAA'
That aggressive and excellent paper,
the ,In, is opening, indeed has opened.
a campaign on pie, holding vigorously
that pie should be constructed as to be
eaten out of hand.
In this particular few who have
bright memories of the pies mother
made will offer criticism. The pies of
the days before the war were a dis
; tinct and radically superior article 10
those which now appear, pale and
watery, from the modern kitchen.
Then a pie was a thing of glory; to be
w~orshipped with longing eyes, saluted
with watering chops; regarded with
hungry emotions, and eaten with pro-
found and grateful reverence, until
safety came with the last fiaky crumb.
When does any n remember of ask
ing for a fork? Or a spoon? Perish
the idea! No need for either there.
That pie would melt in your mouth,
stifle your nostrils with its divine odor,
and satisfy even your childish appe-
tite, and never a drop of juice fan to
the spotiess floor below.
But how different now. We are
supplied with an intricately interlaeed
affair, whereof the contents are SO
diluted that in place of a fork, one re-
quires a spoon if not a sponge. The
bottom crust is soggy and heavy. alb
soluteiy leaden in composition. OF
course we need forks now, even to get
the crust, it is so tough. Those who
have eaten of mothers pies in the old
days will agree with the Sun that it is
on the right path when it assails the
custom of eating pie with a fork, and
it is to be presumed that the able pa
per named has a deeper object than to
drive out this absurdity, and hopes to
see revived the pie that was itself
ample and abundant cause for being
eaten out of hand.

pATRoNIZE HOME SCHOOLS,

In our news columns to-day we print
the announcement of the Missouri
Military Academy for the session of
1895 and 1896, from which it will be
seen that the faculty is unusually
strong and complete. The fact is,
that in this special work of training
boys for college or university or for
business life, under the very best dis
cipline and restraint, this school is
recognized all over this and adjoining
states as first and foremost, and its
graduates are already taking the high
est stand in Yale, Princeton, Wander
bilt, DePauw, the universities of Michi-
gan, Virginia, Missouri and in the lead
ing law and medical schools of the
country, and each successive year
will witness a steady Improvement
along all its lines of work.
The Military Academy and Hardin
College are spending thousands OF
dollars every yearin advertising Mex
leo and Audrain County, and all over
Missouri and the adjoining states our
community is recognized Is one of
the most progressive and cultivated in
tho West, because of the public spirit
OF it's leading citizens in locating these
two admirable schools in their midst.
But what are we doing in sending
our boys and girls to these schools?
We are surely seeking the highest ad-
vantages for them, and we cannot af-
ford to send them to inferior schools,
certainly, when our own r the best.
The LEDGER has worked day in and
day out for the interests OF Mexico and
Audrain County and we do not believe
our labor has been without reward.
But we do not hesitate to say that
among the varied interests Of the COM
munity none will conduce more to its
permanent prosperity and give it a
better reputation abroad than its edu-
cational advantages.
Let each citizen of Audrain, there
fore, make up his mind to patronize
home schools, build up his own COM
munity and show to outsiders that
actions speak louder than words. The
Military Academy and Hardin College
should each have fifty pupils from Au-
drain County the coming year, and
with the magnificent prospect for
crops this 10 easily be done and the
money remain at home for the perma-
nent increase Of u county's wealth.

EX-CONFEDERATE REUNION
Preparations for the Annual Gathering
at the Higglnsville Home.

Preparations are being made by the
officers of the Ex-Confederate Asso-
citation of Missouri for the eleventh
annual reunion to be held August 81 at
the Ex-Confederate Home at Higgins
vile, Mo. A rate of one and one-third
fare for the round trip from all points
has been secured and it is thought the
number of visitors will exceed prev
ious reunions. There will be no tents
provided as it has been found that few
visitors al to remain more than one
day, but those SO desiring will find ac-
commodations under roof.
This is the third year of the home
and farm, which embraces 1862 acres.
The grounds and improvements were
secured at a cost of S67 900, raised by
subscription, all of which, except ST.
600 from Senator Hearst of California
and $3.50 from the G. A. r. of Chicago,
was secured in Missouri in amounts
ranging from 10 cents upward. The
expenditures for four years have ag-
| gregated S4S, 900.

Decline of the Silver Craze,

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo, July 10
That the turning point of the silver
craze in this section of Missouri has
| been reached is admitted, even by
some of the most ardent supporters
of the white metal. The general re-
vival of business the country over and
the magnificent crop prospects have
more to do, no doubt, in Fastening
the end than anything else. Over in
Galloway county, where the corn fields
are like forests and promise any
where from sixty to 100 bushels to the
acre, there is a sound money senti-
ment that is beginning to assert itself;
and right here in Cole county, where
the name of Bland has for nearly a
quarter of a century been potent,
there is a feeling that If the election
of delegates to the Convention at Per-
tie Springs is to be held over again,
there is no dead sure thing that the
EEsilyerites'' will carry the county.
There 10 mo gaiu1ayiIig the fact that
| there Is a change of sentiment work
ing among the ranks of the Democ-
racy. The politicians are still howl
ing, but the farmers and the business
men + too much occupied with crops
and trade to lend their ears to them,
and, like Othello, they r beginning
to find "their occupation gone"
Anent the silver question comes a
good story from over in the "king-
dom" of Galloway. In one of the
most fertile portions of the''kingdomn
lives "Uncle Billy" -. He is a char
acter in his way, and Il prosperous,
hard working man, with grain in his
barnes, fat horses, sleek cattle and
blooded sheep and hogsin his pastures,
and money to his credit in the bank.
He attends to his crops, and has no
time to sit on the fence and discuss
silver. y n~eighbor OF his, who is a
rampant Populist and silver advocate,
passed his place the other day. He
accosted "Uncle Billy" as follows:
"Well, Uncle Billy when do you
think we will have better times?"
"Have you got any fat cattle!"
asked "uncle Billy"
ono"
"Have you got any sheep?"
"No."
"Have you got any fat hogs?"
Hardly enough to make my meat"
"Well," said Uncle Billy, reflective
ly,"I1I be id if / see how times are
ever going to get any better for you"
Outside of only a few politicians
about Jefferson City there is now but
little discussion of the silver question
in Cole county.
