COUNTY TREASURER +. V. Gentry is
satisfied that it pays to advertise.
Last week he published in the Mexico
LEDGER, exclusively, names of parties
TO whom costs were due. The ink
wasn't dry before he began receiving
callers asking for dues. He has re-
ceived letters and calls from nearly
every one to whom costs we're due. 1t
pays to advertise if you have anything
to sell which it will pay the purchaser

A Liberal Education.

The late Prof. Huxley held this opin-
ion as to what constitutes a liberal ed
ucation:
The man has a liberal education who
has been so trained in youth that his
body is the ready servant of his will,
and does with ease and pleasure all the
work that, as a mechanism, it is capa-
BILE of; whose intellect is a clear, cold
logic engine, with all its parts of equal
strength and in smooth working order,
ready, like the steam engine, to be
turned to any kind of work, and spin
the gossamers as well as forge the an
chors Of the mind; whose mind is
stored with a knowledge of the great
and fundamental truths of nature and
of the laws of her operations; one
who, no stunted ascetic, is full of life
and fire, but whose passions are train
ed to come to halt by a vigorous will,
the servant of a tender conscience;
who has learned to love all beauty,
whether of nature or of art, to hate all
vileness, and to respect others as him
self. Such a one, and no other, has
had a liberal education.

International Agreement.


The English BimetaIlic League is
giving evidences of its activity, and
there is good reason to believe that il
will be a factor in determining the re-
suit OF the forthcoming elections, l;
has the great advantage of presenting
to the English people a definite prop
osition against which there is no posi-
tive opposition.
English bimetallism does not com
nit itself to anything more than an
enlarged use of silver by means of in
ternational agreement. Indeed, it
does not ever go SO far as that. It
merely favors the calling of an inter
national conference to determine what
steps, if any, a be taken to bring
about such a result.
The only valid reason for opposing
so modest a programme would - q
conviction that international bimCtal-
lism would be a bad thing. But no one
goes SO far as that. The extremists OF
gold recommendation and the extrem-
lists in favor of the unlimited free coin
age of silver join in recognizing that
the more extended use of silver would
be a benefit to the commerce of the
world. Their only objection to an in
ternational agreement is that they do
not be lieve it can be brought about.
The way to settle that question is to
try it. Nations, like individuals, do
not know what they a do until they
try. And so promising an experiment
as that of an international conference
is entitled to a fair and final trial.

Southern Democrats and Pcpulists.

FROM the new lplh "STIt.
The Arkansas Populists are wasting
breath when they invite Southern
Democrats to join them in forcing
party reorganization and the general
changes which some regard as newt
able in Southern politics.
The Southern situation has already
taken the shape it is likely to hold
throughout the next Presidential cam
paign. Southern Democrats who
favor the free coinage of silver will
not invite the cooperation of the
Populists, nor will they openly engage
in any general demonstration under
Populist leadership.
The probabilities at the South are
that there will be a tacit alliance be-
tween Republicans and Populists in an
attempt to capture local offices at any
rate, and if possible electoral votes.
1t is safe to that the men
who control Democratic committees,
conventions and other agencies OF Or
ganization at the South will not bolt
this year or next on the silver ques-
tom or amy othor. ~ least boiling
will be merely sporadic, and it can
hardly result in any general fusion
with the Populists.
The action Of Southern free coinage
Democrats against a platform or can
didate that does not suit them is likely
to be almost wholly undemonstrative
and negative. No one will be able to
approximate the result Of such a am
paign as is promised at the South I'M
til the vote, cast and uncast, is ac-
counted for.

Reader, did you ever take SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR, the "KING OF

take a liver remedy. It is a sluggish or
diseased liver that impairs digestion
and causes constipation, when the waste
that should be carried off remains in
the body and poisons the whole system.
That duh, heavy feeling is due to a
torpid liver. Biliousness, Headache,
Malaria and Indigestion are all liver
diseases. Keep the liver active by an
occasional dose of Simmons Liver Reg
Uiator and you'll get rid of these trou-
bles, and give tone to the whole sys-

HE WILL LEAVE STURGEON.
W. H. Winscott Will Go on the lOad
for a Chicago Firm-He Makes
a Statement.
From the Sturgeon Leader

4 Leader reporter called at the res
idence of w. II. Winscott yesterday
and found that gentleman to be a very
sick man. He has been i'll for the
past two weeks-the illness being
brought on probably from worrying
and nervousness.
He expects to leave Sturgeon next
week if possible. lie has been offered
a position by a Chicago firm and will
probably travel in Arkansas and
Texas.
His wife will go to Chillicothe next
week and will spend a couple of
months at some springs; she is in poor
health and will take the advice of her
physician and try and recuperate.
The Leader recognizes that Mr..
Winscott has made mistakes, but it
does not believe In kicking a man be-
cause he is down.
True, he occupied positions that I'M
der the circumstances he had no right
to hold, but he did about like most
men would have done.
AS he said to a Leader reporter: 81
always thought there would come a
day when 1 could get enough money
to pay my shortage and relieve my
mind of the burden it carried for
years"
We remember n year in particu-
lar when Mr.. Winscott worked day
and night to make Il few dollars.
During banking hours he attended
to his banking business and as soon
as his duties we're done he went to
his book and stationery store and
labored until late at night, and then he
lost money. The store proved losing
venture.
Mr.. Winscott is a clever, accom-
modating gentleman but he was not
the man for a bank cashier. He did
not possess some of those qualities
which are absolutely requisite in or
der to make a good f%inancier.
But withal let's draw the curtain
over the past in this instance. The
Leader trusts that Mr.. Winscott has
learned a lesson that will help guide
him in future days.
To RIGHT A WRONG.
the Editor of the Leader.
STURGEON, Mo-, July s.-Through
your columns desire to right a wrong
and an injustice done an innocent
woman in connection with my recent
troubles with the Sturgeon Exchange
Bank. Her name has been freely and
unjustly used and all kinds of rumors
seem to be afioat. So to exonerate
her and all others from any blame, |
feel it my duty to publicly say that all
talk connecting her name in any
way is utterly false. Her husband has
written sworn statement from me
his wife is innocent of any wrong
and he is satisfied. But rumor has it
every way. | therefore think it JUS
tice to both him and her for the pub
lie TO know the truth.

The most probable rumor yet set
afloat concerning that vacancy in the
United States Supreme Court is that
saying President Cleveland proposes
giving the place to Secretary Carlisle.
There are several reasons why this
rumor is the most probable of its kind,
but the legal eminence of Mr.. Carlisle
isn't one of them. Although he has
been lawyer for nearly forty years
oflice-holding has been his real occupa-
ton. But no one denies that he is a
much ADLER man than some of those
who have held seats upon the Supreme
Court Bench. President Cleveland
ought to give Mr.. Carlisle something
in return for the sacrifices he has made
for him. According to those who
ought to know Secretary Carlisle's
substitution of Mr.. Cleveland's finan-
cial ideas for his own has made it cer-
tain that his political career is closed,
as it has alienated the support of many
of the very men who had previously
stood by him. That he is poor man
is well known, and creditable to him,
too. Therefore it is altogether prob
able that Mr.. Cleveland should think
of repaying his devotion by anchoring
him in lifelong position.

mainder of his arm which, was left

ously stolen back again. The find is
reported to be six miles south of vii.
liams and the vein to be unusually rich
in the precious metal. Several parties
have so far taken claims, but what the
result will be yet remains to be proven
by development.
The mining excitement becomes the
more intense as time goes by. At
this writing about two hundred men
are in the district busily engaged in
stalking out claims. There seems to
be no question but what a great body
of ore has been discovered. Among

are residents Of this city. might be

for the three cOunciImen present, the

made an even two-apd-two vote be-

several ballots had been taken with no
decisive result, which of course was
under the rules of proceed
ure, the matter was made the result of
a special meeting Tuesday evening. Or

The Supreme Court of the United
States handed down a decision yester-
day that has an important bearing on
homestead entries, says the Tucson
'Citizen," more especially that class
OF entries made for the purpose of
clearing the land of timber and then
abandoning the same. This has been
done repeatedly in the vicinity of
Tucson. Land thus impoverished be-
comes sterile waste aud is practically
robbed of half its value to others who
would locate thereon for the purpose
of making themselves a home. The
court decided that lands entered under
the homestead laws are not by the
mere act of entry so segregated from
4he public as to give the homesteader
the right to sell timber from the entry.
and in so doing he is liable to criminal
prosecution. The decision is right
erus one and should be rigidly en-
forced.

The politicians, without regard to
party, regard Vice-Presiden, Steven
son 5 recent statement that President
Cleveland will be renominated by the
Democrats If he so desires as the most
important uttcrance yet made on the
third-term question. They know that
in speaking thus Mr.. Stevenson did
not voice his personal sentiment, which
is known to be antagonistic to Mr..
Cleveland, but his judgment as an ex-
perienced, practical politician. They
regard it as if he had said that Mr..
Cleveland had the Democratic party
where it could not do otherwise than
nominate him if he wishes to be nomi-
mated. Recent talk and action of those
near to Mr. Cleveland has caused many
previous doubtcrs to believe that he is
really out for the nomination again.
