Mr.. sIBLEYrs FINANCIAL AxIoMs.

without paying attention to tie silver
argument of Mr.. sibley's Memphis speech
ii is worth while, for the study ia tie arts
Of politician to auaIyze what he is pleased
to style axioms. Referring to the volume
of moaey he said:
First-Duuble the volume Of money aud
You double prices.
Epcond-Dividc the volume Of money and
yuu divide prices.
Thirl-Doublc the volume Of money and
Puu divide the debts.
Fmrh-Divide the volume Of money aud
-9uu double the de bts.
It is absolutely fmpossi bic to make
money circulate unless there Is sufficient
business to create demand for its use.
Money is a convenience with which TO
facilitate exchanges. 1t has nothing to
do with changing prices except through
Initiation. and then only because money
; deprecated. If Mr.. SIbley means TO
double prices by flooding the country
with deprecated money his axiom viii
stand
The second axiom is subject 10 the
same criticism that destroys the truth
Of the first. But it may be said that hard
times and its consequent contraction Gf
the volume Of money VIII lessen prices to
some extent through lack Of legitimate
demand for products. Necessity in times
of business depression induces producers
Ia attempt 20 force sales aud this uude-
Sirdble method Of crowdiag the markets
naturally causes a reduction and not
division Of prices.
1t is not true that the doubling Of the
volume OF good money viii divide debts.
Il ali tie banks and business houses in
tbe country were bursting with money
debtors could not get hold Of it without
first giving IN equivalent, nor would debts
be easier TO pay. 1t is a fact, however,
that doubling the volume with a de-
preciated money would divide debts con-
tracted in times Of sound money, as has
been demonstrated in every country which
has undergone the ordeal of disastrous,
unreliable currency
This country has just experienced what
Mr. sibley terms a division Of the volume
OF money. A protracted business strin-
gency has caused capital to refuse in
vestEnent and the volume of money usually
circulated has been correspondiBgly de-
creased. This decrease has not doubled
debts. because with the exception of a
short interval there has not been a time
when money could not be borrowed at
low rates Of interest. Hard times has
Iessened the power Of debtors to earn
money TO pay Indebtedness, aud has also
diminished the volume of money in circu-
Iation but it has in no way doubled debts.
1t may be safely asserted that the
United States would never suffer from
q money stringency if politicians would
stop agitaung the financial question.
Business prosperity would create a demand
for everything mankind deals in. and in
response to that demand money would
come from its hiding places and be more
accessible. Settled conditions are all that
are needed TO create good times. Changes
are necessary to remedy some Of the evils
OF our financial system, but they should
never be made by radical politicians.

LAWYERS FIERY ANSWER
Trial of Capt. HoWgate Marked
by a Peppery Episode.
MR. WORTHINGTON's THREATS
He Objected TO Mr.. Birney's State
ment That He Was Evading the
Rules of Court-He Said Insinua-
tions Would Be Fifty Dealt with
Outside the Court Room.

District Attorney Birney yesterday made
sharp fight to prevent the introduction
of testimony in the Howgate trial to show
that Capt. Howgate was not fugitive from
justice from 1884 to last September His
efforts aroused Mr. Worthington, OF Capt.
Howgate's counsel, and a scene occurred, re-
calling that in the Dom case.
Under Judge McComas ruling all evi-
dence to show that Capt Howgate was
willing to stand a trial any time for ten
years past is excluded. In spite of this
number of the witnesses offered yesterday
by the defense had apparently no valuable
testimony except upon that point AS
stated by Col Enoch Totteu in an argll-
ment before Judge Cole two weeks ago,
facts got before the jury indirectly have
their weight no matter how earnestly the
court may instruct the jury to disregard
them.
MR.. BIRNEYPROTESTED.
Col. Totten's method of meeting such
proceeding by opposing counsel, he said, is
to make the irregularity the basis of
motive for new trial, but Mfr. Birney is
shut out from this remedy. He accordingly
protested against statements to the jury
Of facts tha had been ruled out, aud Mt
w NOEtUIuRlUD lbph EIi!DIdEG at Ills
The wit nesses for the defense were
Arthur E. Bateman, the New York broker,
j. +. Jackson, s. Mclean, John c. Bax-
ter, w P Bnshby, Geo E King, Geo c.
Maynard and L. w Colby
When Mr.. Bateman began to tell of his
acquaintance with Capt. HOwgate n New
York Mr.. Birney objected. Mr. Worthiug-
ton stated that he wished to prove by
Mr. Bateman that the latter met and talked
at length with Capt. Howgate in New
York, and within month saw Chief HaZen,
OF the secret service, on train between
New York and Washington
lie started to tell Mr.. Hazen about Capt
Howgate, but the Information was per
emptOrily refused.
As Mr.. WoTthington was saying all
this Mr.. Birney arose and objected, say
ing Mr.. Worthington was bringing before
the jury, in his own statements the eVi-
! dence which had been ru led out.
HE REPLIED HEARTILY
Mr.. Worthington replied Indignantly that
the District Attorney had twice intimated
that his conduct was improper He had
done nothing that it was not his right and
his duty to his client TO do.
Mr. Birney's insinuations were wholly
uncalled for and If continued would be
fitlydealt with on tsidethe court room.
Judge McCumas in ruling out Mr.. Bate
mans testimony said he thought Mr.
Wurthiugtou was acting in good faith.
Mr.. WOrthiEgton then moved to strike
out the testimony offered by the prosecu-
tiun regarding Capt. Howgate's flight,
but with few minor exceptions his mo-
tiOn was denied.
The defense was not allowed, also,
to show that Gen. Myer held himself
responsible for accounts approved by
! him Other witnesses offered testi-
mony given at the last trial, but it was
refused. The defense noted many ex-
ceptions during the day.

Rejected.

The board of county commissioners
met in special session last Saturday to
consider the ACCESSIBILITY of accepting
the legislatures proposition of furnish
ing seed TO the farmers of tie county.
The substance of the act is as follows:
First-That the county commission
ers shall draw special warrant payable
to the state before amount apportioned
becomes available. Second-That ev-
cry applicant shall make his request
for seeds in writing, give list of the
property owned by him and a descrip-
ton of his land, sign note, due No
vember l, for the amount, the said
note to be first lien upon the crop;
that he shall not receive seed to exceed
$1,000 in value, ETC., etc. Third-The
county Shall collect said notes, togeth-
Ell with per cent, interest after ma
turity, TO make herself whole and
transmit same to state treasurer to be
Endorsed on warrant.
After due deliberation the board
made the following order which we
think Will meet the approval of the
majority Of the people of the county.
Under the provisions OF the act no one
could be materially benefited and the
county would only be run deeper
INTO debt:
Be it resolved by the board OF County Com
missioners Of Barber county, Kansas, that
whereas the legislature Of this state has by all
act appropriated certain money for the pur-
pose of enabling the board OF Railway Com
missoners to purchase seed and grain for the
benefit OF the farmers of the Seventh Con
gressIonal District 0he appor;ionment of this
county under said act being Twenty Four
Hundred aud Fifty Goials.} And whereas
the said Gpportiopmen 1T IS based on the coudi-
ton that this board shall draw its warrant for
said sum, thereby enlarsing tho debt of the
county, and in the judgment of this board tie
acceptance of the said appropriation would be
little, If any. advantage to the farmers OF this
county. And it being the se-sc OF this board
that the TURNER'S of this county are not so
hard put to for seed ard grain that they
would desire to increase the Indebtedness of
their county to the extent OF Twenty -FOUR
Hundred and Fifty dollars for such purpose
Therefore resolved that this county would
and does most respe ctfully decline to accept
the benefits, if any there be, of said act.
