STONE ON HARMONY.
The Governor Not Sure OF Democratic
Peace Financial Issues Are Yet
Decidedly Unsettled.
From the 81. Louis Chronicle.

From the 81. Louis Chronicle.
The trouble about the Democratic
thermometers is that they talk har-
mony for the newspapers, and then
turn about and renew the discord pri-
vately.
This was conspicuously true at the
meeting of the Missouri State Com
mlttee last week. The sound money
and free silver leaders talked for pub
LEGATION, as though every obstacle to
complete reunion had been removed,
and then quietly continued the quar-
rel when they thought it would not
reach the newspapers.
Another instance is that of Gov.
Stone, who telegraphed the Chronicle
on Saturday that all vas now peace
and concord, while ct the same time
he had just finished a letter to a friend
in Sedalia, in which he said:
1.-TWO and a half years ago we were
a compact, disciplined, victorious
party; to-day we are little better than
a disorganized, discomfitted, discor-
dant mob"
And then he gave the eason fol-
this condition of things.
ssThe undemocratic financial poll
cies of the Administration are almost
wholly responsible for our misfor'
tunes. When Mr.. Cleveland deliber'
ately put the tariff issue, upon which
he had been elected, behind him, and
within three or four -aonths after his
installation, assembled Congress ir
special session, for the single purpose
of repeating the only law on the stat
ute books authorizing the coinage o
silver dollars, his party bolted at once
! and looked ON in amazement.
81 am for harmony, too" adds the
Governor. 81 am as sincerely anx'
ious for harmony and success as any
Democrat in the State, and am more
than willing to make sacrifices to Sc
cure them. But, if harmony means
am to doff my Democracy and put OF
the livery of the plutocrat, I object
If the alternative offered be the
abandonment of party principle Of
the af1iction of party defeat; if mus
surrender in the open field or be sho
from ambush, why then I prefer t.
stand by the old flag. If defeat should
come, we would at least preserve no
only our party organization, but on
party, faith and honor"
"There is not much harmony in thu
Governors letter." said a local Dem
ocrat. "He intimates that the none!
fight is still on, and that trouble is still
ahead for the party. Maybe he i
right, but it seem rather indiscree
to keep on stirring up the animals, ant

Christian Union.

To the Editor OF the Ledger.
MEXICO, Mo-, Nov. 27.-It is hardly
probable that too much can be said on
the subject of the union of Gods peo-
pie. Jesus prayed that believers in
Him might be one. Hear Him:
"Neither pray l for these alone,
(the Apostles) but for them also
which believe on Me through their
word, Through the Apostles word)
that they all may be u as thou
Father art in Me and l in thee; that
they also may be one in us that the
world may believe that thou hast sent
me-"
Here we see from this prayer the
great end to be accomplished. "That
the world may believe thou hast sent
Me-" That the world is full of in
fidelity to-day cannot be questioned.
Now IL Gods people will just live a
life in harmony with the prayer of
Gods blessed Son infidelity will soon
die the deeth. Let Bible readers read
carefully the brief history of the
Jerusalem church as given in the Sec
ond chapter of Acts of Apostles. 1t
Is said they were of ''one heart and
one soul" Here in the beginning we
find the union Jesus prayed for.
They, the Jerusalem Christians, were
me-. 1t was organized Christian union
and of curse a union that was
manifest to all. Sand they continued
In the Apostles doctrine and fellow
ship, and in the breaking of bread and
prayers" They believed the same
facts, they obeyed the gospel and re-
ceived and enjoyed the promises of
the Savior. And what was the result?
The Lord added to the church daily
those who were being saved. The
very same results would follow to-day
il Gods people were of m heart and
soul. The Corinthian church vas ad-
monished to be perfectly joined to-
gether In the same mind and in the
same judgment. Snow, l beseech
you, Brethren, by the name of our Lord
Jesus Christ that ye all speak the
same things and that there be no di-
visisaa among ynn-n See first Ger, |
LIST chapter, 10th verse. These words
are for US to-day; let us lay them to
heart. Our zeal for "churchanity'' is
a sad thing. What we need is
"Christianity." Let US then endeavor
to keep the unity of the spirit in the
bond of peace, remembering that
there is but one body, one spirit and
hope, one Lord, N faith, n bap-
tism and one God, Father of all, who |
Is above all, and through all and in you
all. Therefore, or for this reason,
endeavor to keep the unity of the
spirit in the bond of peace. "Pray
without ceasing and in everything
give thanks for this is the viii of God
in Christ Jesus concerning YOU"

REFLECTION.

Out in the dusky nightfall,
Where the shadows weird and
strange,
Fit and futter, when we gaze there
We our thoughts cannot arrange;
Rushing wildly, madly DER US
Come the dreams of other days,
Then the present comes before us,
But as quickly by it strays.
And we sit in muddled musings,
Thinking as the hours fast HE,
That perhaps before the daylight
We, perhaps, perchance, may die.
So our life is just the present
Sweetened with imaeinings
OF the past, and maybe future
Most is what the present brings.
And then il the rain drops tremble
On the pane and window sill,
II we hear the pillows rumbiing
All to us is music still;
For the thought that we have loved
ones,
Be they far or be they near,
And the knowing Gods above US,
Keep our spirits in good cheer.
