An Old Ledger

We had the pleasure this week Of
examining an old copy Of the Mexico
Weekly Ledger, printed July fourth,
1857, when the paper was two years
old and edited by w. d. Fl. Hunter.
This paper contains the first public
speech made by Judges M. Edwards
Of Mexico, who later become noted
orator. This speech was delivered to
the Masons.
Col. Stewart and Major Rollins were
campaigning In this part Of Missouri.

none that are living to-day.

Hugh Spencer, of Tebbetts neigh
borhood, who failed to give in about
81, 800 worth of collateral to the coun-
ty assessor. ]. N. Sampson, last June,
was put on the county grill by the
county board of equalization at its
adjourned meeting held In this city
Monpay. He was taken to task about
the same matter by Prosecuting At
torney ]. w. Tlncher, a couple Of
months ago, and it cost him S48.75,
because OF his negligence in this re-
gard, and while is was in the power
Of the equalization board to thrible
the tax on the amount he was treated
with leniency and only has to pay
the straight levy.
The board heard him on his own
behalf and found out that a portion
of the amount not given In was a
note for 81, 100 that was only Of value
in way that kept matters regarding
his estate straight, being given to
him by bis son, and which he never
expected to try to collect, and .consid-
ing this and other circumstances that
applied to immediate family affairs,
the board deemed it nothing but pro-
per to be somewhat conslderate. Mr..
Spencer can consider himself lucky in
getting out OF bis trouble SO easily,
and he will no doubt be careful here
after about his dealings with the d.
ligent assessor d. FL. Harris conduct
ed Mr.. Spencer's case.

THE PACE THAT KILLS.
No census can tell the wort OF
Shanghai's shame. The evil that sur
passes the widespread gambling and
drinking Is the maintenance Of Chinese
concubines by white men. 1t is freely
asserted that all the unmarried foreig-
ners in the east follow this practice.
or course this sweeping statement is
untrue; and the wholesale genera.iza.
tion upon Shanghais wickedness in
dulged in by missionaries here, ana by
missionary authorities and supporters
at home, is more than uncharitable,
IL is cruel, and false. This city holds
many upright. clean-lived, honorable
men Of spotless character; the fact
that they are In a minority does not
Justify their being SO Unfortunately
libelled. The gross and scandalous
charges, which ignorant or evil.dis-
posed persons make concerning mis-
sionaries, are not whit worse than
the general animadversions Of some
missionaries upon all foreigners en-
gagged in secular pursuits In the Orient.
The best statement Of the situation
Is bad enough. Careful inquiry
among conservative and informed per-
sons elicits the opinion that probably
the larger number Of unmarried
foreigners In Shanghai maintain ma
tive women, The Eurasian offspring
who are the fruit of these, and more
honorable unions, are one Of the tragic
characteristics Of this city.
Right here arises perplexity for
the missionary. Shall he receive into
his home, and give his social approval
to, young men who are known thus to
have contravened fundamental An
glo-Saxon conception of decencyp
Shall all the accepted traditions of re-
spectacle society be abandoned in or
der to win the approval Of these young
men away from home? Ordinarily,
the missionaries decide in the mega
tive. Thus there is gulf fixed be-
tween the two classes of white men
in Asia; and SO mutual criticism is
begotten. In the society which has
dominated Shanghai the missionary,
whatever his standing at home or his
personal qualities, has been persona
non grata." Whether this state Of
affairs will alter with the newly-chang-
ed conditions remains to be seen.
WHEN REFORM STRUCK SHANGHAI.
One further explanatory point
should be noted before describing
Judge Wilhey's sensational reforms.

vice. During trace week" In spring

kinds Of gambling have been open
and unashamed. There is nothing In

Much corn has been planted In Mon

larger than last year, due largely to
the fact that much inferior grass land
has been broken up.

Washington, Aug. 31.-With the ap pointment temporarily to the immigra. tion service of Miss Helen M. Bulls of New York. who recently has been con nected with the Travellers Aid society, the government will bend it's energies toward detection of the systemized White slave traffic believed to exist in the United States. Thus far the immigration service has been unable to make any headway against the evil. Miss Bulls has represented to Com missioner General Sargent, head of the immigration service, that she will be able to gain the evidence necessary not only to check the importation of women and girls for immoral purposes, but to bring to justice the men who are getting rich through the infamous business.

EXPRESS COMPANIES TO FIGHT.
Will Resist Investigation by Indiana
 Railroad Commission.

Indianapolis, Aug. 29.-There are in. dications that the express companies operating in Indiana whose represent atives have been ordered to appear be. fore the state railroad commission and submit data regarding tariffs, capital. ization and earnings will resist the or. der so far as it relates to capitaliZa tion and earnings on the ground that their companies are not chartered un. der the laws of this state and that the commission is exceeding it's DOW. CT when it makes such demand. The right of the commission to inquire into tariffs is not questioned, but it is de nied that the earnings. dividends paid and amount of capital are legitimate subjects of inquiry.
