The Liberty Advance is anxious for
some Information about what become
of the $4,000 appropriated by the
legislature and placed under the con-
troll Of Governor Woodson, for the
purpose of employing men to capture
the James Boys, and ven suggests
that the matter be investigated. 1t is
true that the James Boys were not
captured, and 1t does not appear that
any II employed by Governor Wood
son ever tried to capture them. But
the Advance must be quite a novi, e
in political matters not to know that
money under the control of a demo-
cratic official is presumed TO be plac-
ed where it will do the most good
and is not q proper subject for inves-
tigation.

CORN

II is quite common nowadays to
hear ''Pay rs you CO." in corn 1t is quite
as necessary to harrow as you go. AT
ter ba kward spring. all are about
done planting, and the short time that
will elapse between now and harvest
will necessarily be a busy interval. II
this month should be dry there will be
ample time Tor thorough cultivativation
and no implement is so useful as the
harrow. Just as soon rs the corn n
be seen the harrow should he brought
into use, and while one is all it gener-
ally gets with this great '%'leveler" and
clod breaker, two '~'workings" will be
found to be time and labor well spent.
The best practical corn-raiscrs use the
harrow and two-horsc cultivrtor and be-
lieve in level cultivation. The turning
pillow is almost entirely discarded in corn
cultivation except as ~perchance in q
very wet season., and we think this is
progress.-Juurnal oil Agriculture and

CLYMER's committee failed to 60 on
with the Kerr investigation. The mem
bers OF the committee were in attend
ance, and Mr.. Kerr and his friends were
on hand. but Harvey was missing. 1t
is almost unnecessary TO mention that
Clymer was responsible for the dissap-
pearance of the witness. Clvmer has a
way of getting rid OF witnesses just when
they are most needed. He permitted
Marsh to leave the country and Harvey
to leave the city. Naturally there ait
various surmises as to the cause of Har
ney's sudden departure, and few OF
these surmises are favorable to Mr.
Kerr. Measures ought to be taken for
the immediate suppression OF Clymer. Sc

The true road to a healthy condi'
ton of the finances lies in improving
tho nations foreign trade by selling
more and buying less, and thereby
producing the balance Of trade In the
nations favor. THIS can not be done
by o contraction Of the Currency and
an increase of our foreign interest
bearing debt.
Text of Hon. David Rea's great e.
nancial speech.
Mr.. Rea's financial theory is well
known 10 be that money should in
some way be made more plenty, but
we never before understood that the
object Of giving the people more mon
ey is that they may bay less. We
think a little rejection will convince
Mr.. Rea that when money is most
plentiful is precisely when people
buy most, aud especially Of costly i'm
ported goods, and II the financial
prosperity of the nation is to be Sc
cured only by selling more and buy
ing less, whatever may be the way to
attain this desirable end. 1t is plain
that the way to not attain it is BY
having "a more and q better curren-
cy." But "this cannot be done by a
contraction of the currency and an
increase of our foreign interest bear
ing debt" Will Mr.. Rea inform us
how contracting the currency iucreas-
cs the foreign debt. If the govern
meut rcdeems the greenbacks with
gold, the public debt (not the interest
bearing debt however) is diminished
by every dollar that is redeemed. Rut
probably Mt. Rea means that the gov
ernment will have to sell additional
bonds In Europe to procure the gold
to redeem the greenbacks. This
would increase the interest bearing
debt, but would not contract the cur.
rehcy, but would leave precisely as
many dollars in circulation as before.
On the whole Mr.. Rea's text viewed
as a part Of his known financial thco-
ny seems somewhat unsatisfactory.
