Yield This Season.
CedarvaIe, Dec. 1.-The farmers in
this vicinity are just now finishing up
harvesting a crop of alfalfa. This is
the fourth crop that has been cut here
this year. Four crops from the same
soil have never been produced fn one
season before. Last year there were only
two crops, the last one being harvested
in the first part of October. The warm
weather and moisture that have pre-
vailed have caused the unusual growth

nounces that this republic is alto
gether too small, too weak, too feeble to
regulate its own financial system. and
leaves it to be inferred that we cannot
secure free coinage without the AID
and consent of Her Britannia
Majesty's government. OF course the
Honorable Thomas, being now a true
blue Englishman, in sentiment and
tastes, if not by birth. may be pardon
ed for his belief that John Bull rules
the universe, but there are those here
who have heard this new Hannaite de-
clare that man who entertained sucn
views as he now expresses should be
shot for treason. And at that time II
was the proud boast of the Honorable
| Thomas that he wore no Wall street
collar. He lays claim to no such honor

ST Louis convention, Thomas, with

his constituents that he would rather
be true than be a king. He has APP
parentIy revised his views in this re-
spect, for he expressed no such senti-

tween the Kearns of four years ago

stituents. and the Kearns of today
coming home unannounced and un-
noticed. exemplifies the distinction be-
tween the man who would rather be
true and the man who would rather
