there are still other changes in the

DIGGING ANp sron1Na rorAroEs.

The digging and storing of potatoes
by the average farmer, says the
Indiana Farmer, is generally done in
n very careless manner. The essentinl
point is to retain the flavor until used,
and to do this they should never be
lett exposed to the sun or air. EARLY
varieties should be dug as soon as tops
are dead, or when the skin ceases to
slip rom the potato. If early varieties
are lett In the ground they will sprout,
and thus destroy the flavor. Late
varieties may be lett in the ground
until dagger of freezing. AS soon as
dug they should be Immediately stored
in a dark, cool, and somewhat moist,
cellar. And right here is where some
may differ with me, as some recon-
mend dry place in " ich to store.
If stored in a dry place they will wilt
and become strong. L have noticed
potatoes that remained In the ground
over WINTER, that did not freeze, that
were as fresh and we'll favored as
when first matured. If stored in q
dry cellar they should be covered with
moist sawdust, to keep them fresh and
exclude the air. FITTING is most ex-
cellent way; simply piling them on
well drained ground and putting on IA
layer Of straw and enough dirt to keep
them from freezing. Care should be
taken to uncover as soon as danger
irom freezing is past in the spring,
and keep sprouts removed. As to
manner of digging, if FIVE acres or
more are to be dug it would probably
pay to use potato digger, but if less
than that amount, the work csu be
done with a four.t tined fork garden
spade, OF plowed with common break

Questions of Cash.

From Springfield, ILL.,, the Chronicle
has received request to answer three
questions. The first is this
According to statistical almanacs
the receipts during Harrison's term
were in excess of the expenditures. If
this is true what became OF the sur
plus left at the end of Cleveland's first
term?''
The excess of receipts over expendi-
lures during Harrison's Administered ton
with the balance left by the first Cleve-
land administration was largely used
in the purchase of bonds not due and
the redemption of bonds falling due.
A trust fund of some $56, 900, 900, con-
sisting of lawful money deposited by
national banks for the redemption of
surrendered circulation, went the same
road. The result was that the Har-
rison administration left much less in
the treasury than the first Cleveland
administration did.
The fault to be found with the Har-
rison administration is not that it ap-
piled the surplus to the extinguish-
ment Of interest-bearing debt, but that
1t went to such a length in this direc-

Specimen Republican InsincerIty.

Utica Observer: To show how sin
cere are the republicans who have been
denouncing the destructiveness of the
Wilson tariff laws it needs only to be
said that the republicans propose to
leave the law alone and let the country
go to destruction if it likes for the next
three years. Unless the present con-
gress reVises the tariff it cannot be done
until the fall of 1898. If the republi-
cans really thought that the Wilson tar
iff bill was running this country would
they not interpose a corrective meas
ure, or would they let us struggle under
the 'tblighting Wilson tariff law for
three years longer?

First Laid Down by Jefferson.

Thomas Jefferson was pretty good
American. He said in 1908 that a
main object of the United States must
be to exclude all European influence in
this hemisphere That was fifteen
years before the PRONUNCIATION of the
Monroe doctrine. In 1923. when Presi-
dent Monroe asked Jefferson's advice
about enunciating the doctrine, Jeffer-
son said: Our first and fundamental
maxim should be never to entangle our
selves in the broils of Europe. Our
second, never to suffer Europe to inter
NEEDLE with cis-Atlantic affairs"

ton as to embarraSS the treasury. It
is the plain duty of any administration
to apply any surplus. first, to the pay
ment of bonds subject to call, and, sec
ond, to purchase of bonds if none are
subject to call, so far as it can without
paying exorbitant prices. The first
Cleveland administration recognized
this duty and acted upon it. When no
bonds were subject to call and excess
i've prices were demanded for other
bonds it deposited considerable
amounts of surplus with national bank
tentative but to allow the money to
accumulate in the treasury vaults.
causing stringency and deranging BUSH
ness. The Harrison administration
seemed bent on emptying the treasury
no matter what price it had to pay for
bonds.
The second question is: Didn't the
receipts continue to run down under
the Mckinley bill, and haven't they, in
creased under the Wilson bill?"
Yes. A table setting forth the facts
appeared in these columns yesterday
morning. 1t shows that the receipts
ran down from $464. ZOO, 900 during the
hscal year 1890, the year before the
mckinley bill was in force, to 1872 $780,
OO0 In 1894, the last entire fiscal year
under that bill. There was recovery
in 1893, but that it was only spasmodic
is SHOWN by the relapse in 1894. There
was a decrease of no less than $91 ,2OO,-
0OO from the year before the Mckinley
law was in force. The first year under
the new law there was an increase OF
$iI 100000, and the second year part
iy estimated by the secretary of the
treasury of $50, 100 900 over the last
year OF the Mckinley law.
The third question relates to the
surf plus, evidently meaning the
available cash balance in the treasury
at different dates. The treasury tables
from which to obtain the desired facts
are not now at hand. 1t can be stated
positively, however, that the cash bal
ance was largely increased during
Clevelands first term and largely di-
m1nished during Harrison's term. In
the absence of figures covering the ex-
act point of the inquiry, it may inter-
est the Springfield inquirer to know the
excess of receipts over expenditures in
the fiscal years covered by Cleveland S
first administration and Harison's ad-
min1stration. The following table
shows the excess, leaving out of &C
count the postal receipts and disburse-
ments, which were included in the ia
bic given yesterday:
