understand therefore, that this pro-
longed and monotonous bowling
with regard to silver is a burden
and soreness of flesh to them.

all else in a political respect is de-
iiyerance from q kind of elocution

this lingering manifestation Of vo-
cal dropsy and insutferable folly,
they would be contented and happy.
The general situation is satisfactory
to them, and only this one annoy
and exists to prevent them from
going ahead in cheerful and hope
full way to make hemost oftheir op-
portunities. Surely they have fright
to insist that those who are disturb
ing their peace and hindering their
welfare shall subside and let them
alone.-Globe- Democrat.

MIR. EDITOR:
Please allow me a little space in
your paper to explain the ambigu-
tiles of my Office. When l was
elected justice of the peace, there,
We're some who wondered how I
was elected. l will toll You how
it was. l told them that they
could put my name on the ticket if
they would keep still about it, as,
perchance some might have taken
me for an alien, and thereby not
voted straight. That would have
cut my majority down to small
figure, but had such been the case
and l had come out with a only
one majority, OF even one short of
a majority, l would never have
protested or contested, for surely
there is not money enough in the
office to warrant such proceedings.

The Missouri Press Association
has had bill prepared which will
be introduced in the Legislature at
the coming session, and we hope
the country press will take an act
i've interest in securing its passage.
The purport of the bill is that the
Secretary of State shall have print
ed in two newspapers Of opposite
politics in each county all the laws
of general nature enacted by the
General Assembly. A reasonable
compensation is to be allowed for
the printing. Passing over what
ever sclf-interest we may have in
the enactment of such a law, we
believe it would be good thing
for tho people of the State if all
the changes in our laws are set be-
fore them in Il clear and compre-
hensive manner within short time
after the adjournment of each
General Assembly. AS the en-
actments arc published at present
there is hardly one citizen in a
hundred who is fully informed on
the changes made from time to
time in our State laws.

PloW the Stalks Under.

While there is no great manurial
value in stalks, dead grass, weeds
or other trash of this kind, yet in
all lands, especially that which has
been cropped for a number of
years, the mechanical effect is such
that the plowing Of them under is
Away beneficial. If the plan of
gathering up and burning all the
trash instead of plowing it under
is followed the land will soon get
hard, willpack down easily after a
rain, will require more work to
get it into condition to receive seed
and be more difficult to cultivate. =
One of the principal reasons for
plowing in the fall or early in the
winter is that the trash can be
plowed under and will be more
fully out of the way when it is time
to prepare the land for seeding
About the only objection to turning
Potosi journal. (Potosi, Mo.) 1894-1929, 1896-12-23

any considerable quantity of trash
under is that with corn, potatoes,
and such other crops as require
cultivation if the blowing is delayed
until Just previous to planting the
trash will not have time to rot and
will interfere with the work Of cul-
tiyating. But this objection can
be largely avoided by plowing in
fall or early winter.
Better results will be secured if
the land is left Just rs it is plowed.
In this condition it will let in the
air. and rain and the snow, and this
will help to rot whatever is plowed
under.
One of the benefits secured by
plowing under green crops is the
numerous that is added to the soil.
If the fertility is to be kept up,
everything that will add to the fer
tility must be used. 1t requires
the best of management, when
variety of crops is grown and fed
out to stock on the farm, to make
and save enough fertilizer to keep
up the land. Still greater care is
necessary when it is desired to build
land that has been run down by
continuous growing. In fact, not
only must all that is grown be fed
and the manure be put back on the
land but it will be necessary to
grow green crops, like clover,
| buckwheat, rye, and plow them
under at every opportunity.
Farm profits at best are not large
and all reasonable care must be
taken to increase the yield as much
possible in order to reduce the cost.
One Of the essentials in doing
this is a rich soil, and if the soil is
made or kept rich, everything on
the farm that will be of benefit and
that can be spared, should be added
to it. Plow under the stalks,
weeds and everything of this kind
left on the land and secure all of
the benefit possible-C. NJ. w. in

fact that l am termed an alien, /
wish that the law was more string

even young girls, have gone SO far
as to say that l shall not perform
the marriage ceremony for them.

person who claims to be an Amer
lean citizen in the fullest extent Of
the term, and who has complied
with all the requirements to make
him such; one who chaced the wild
Indians for two summers, and later
put in a year south, mixed up in
that little episode of 81 to '65, that
the legality of his ballot is
questioned on grounds that he is
an alien.
All yc who do oppose us, be-
ware! or do it in a straight
forward, manly manner, and when
some of ours to the numbcr OF

Exit of the 2OO-Cent Dollar.

The result of the election has
knocked Mr.. Bryan's gabble about
the 2OOc dollar into cooked hat.
1t was shown on every stump of
the Union during the campaign,
by quotations of the prices of COM
moditics during the past twenty
five years that no such apprecIa-
ton of gold had taken place. But
all in vain. Mr.. Bryan announced
it as a fact, and if the angel from
heaven had come forth and exposed
the, falsehood Bryan's dupes would
have still stuck to it. The result of
the election has exposed the fraud.
and lie who still believes it must be
too big fool to recognize the ex
perience Of his own eyes.
Gold is rapidly coming ont of
its hiding; in fact, it is becoming a
drug on the market, and it now
stands precisely the same basis as
the silver or grecnback dollar. Any
workingman or business man who
prefers his wages or his pay in gold
can get it. Just now we have, for
the time being at least, ignored and
discredited Mr.. Bryan's financial
ideas and system, and readopted
that of Cleveland and Carlisle, and
the consequence is that every
American dollar is ON parity
each with the other. We have
noar istocratic dollar and no pauper
dollar. Each and every American
dollar represents SO much honest
labor or so much Of a commodity
of a given value. The poor mans
wife can visit the bargain counters
and her silver dollar or her green
back dollar will be worth just as
much and bring just as much as the
gold dollar of the richest lady in
the land.
Mr.. Bryan thought the gold
dollar was too good, and he set uE
the gospel of cheap money to BAN
boOZle thefarmers and WOrkiprmen
Now if any farmer or workingmar
wants cheap money, if he want:
poor money, if he wants money fol
his wages that will buy less fol
himself and wife and little darlings
than the gold dollar, he can't ge
it in this great and free country
where all honest men are on pari
ty. If he wants money such a
Mr.. Bryan has sought to produc
for him, he must import
from Mexico or some other mos
quito-bitten country of Soutl
; America, inhabited by a few me-
of immense wealth together wit
half-naked poems and paupers.
The American workingman want
money just as good as that of tn
American banker, and under tn
financial policy of Cleveland an
:. Carlisle and the true Democrat
l theory of finance that is what h
now gcts.-New OrlcansJ State

Sick of Silver.

It is not often that Hon. Tom
Watson, late breyet candidate for
Vice President, says anything
worth considering; but millions of
people will indorse his statement
that the public is weary of being
''bombardedwith books and speech
cs and pamphlets about silver" The
thing was tiresomc enough when
there was campaign in progress
and a vote to be taken, but now
that the election is over and the
question decided, indulgence has
ceased to be even a shadow of Il
virtue. There is no thirst for in
formation upon tho subject, and
still less desire for the sort Of
vociferation that is simply a re-
petition of the stuff against which
an overwhelming majority was
polled in November. 1t is i'm
possible for the free silverites to
say anything new about their
favorite metal. They have present
ea their case in every conceivable
aspect, and their various sophistries
xre as we'll known as the current
slang of the street. The topic is an
exhausted one, the play is over, the
lights have been turned out, it is
time for the voluble and fatiguing
advocates of the soc dollar to quit.
They were always ridiculous, and
their continued talking when there II
nothing to talk about makes then
sickening.

about our form Of government thar

matter, had come to the conclusion
that free silver was a fraud and
rcproacb, and that they did no
want to hear anymore about it

If, as Mr.. Bryan says, free coinage
of silver will raise silver up to equal
gold, how will any man get Il silver
dollar any easier than he can a gold
dollar?
And if not raised up to gold would
it not be a debased money? And il
it be debased to the present 80 cent
market value OF silver would it not
drive all u gold out, and reduce
the value of our present silver and
paper money to the cheap money
value? Certainly it would, and the
crime. Of 90" would actually strike
down more than half our money.
