That has been my oxperinco at every short sesion." It is always a good sign when a' Uongressinal Committee sits down upon a plausible adventurer with a scheme for his own enrichment at other peoples' exponfe. Kver since j the begining of the fifty second Congress an Italian anventurer named Ch so Caesar Mareno. who spent a considerable portion of his life plating at politics on the Sandwich Islands, has been worrying members of the Mouse Committee on Foreign Affairs to givo their sup port to a bill which he had introduced'bst year, extending for live 1 years the provisions of an act parsed 1 in 187(>, incorporating this Caesar of linuiicc and his associates as a company to construct a cnhlo from this country to China and Japan, via i Hawaii. At the hearings which the committe has given him it, lias been brought out that Moreno had n I no money invested in the scheme? in fact no has none to invest in any thing?and that his original intention was merely to try to sell stock * in his proposed company after the bill incorporating it became a law, bti? he failed to sell the stock. It is now suspected that lie intended to induce investors to come in by representing *tha United States to he behind bis company, citing the , extension of time he hoped to get from ('ongress as proof- The mem bers of ibe committee have sized this Caesar up, and tlie result will be the downfall of bis dream of j (lnancial greatness, at least, for the! present. Senator I 'offer says that no man 1 is authorized to say how lie will vote upon the question of the reorganization of the Senate, alien it meets in extra session after Mr. Cleveland's : inaugration, and that be lias not yet decided himself, and does not expect: to until be knows just bow the : membership of that body will stand. Senator Carlisle still insists that ! lie has not either accepted or declined a place in Mr. Cleveland's Cabinet,! Nevertheless it is stated that Mr. Cleveland secured Senator Carisle's ( acceptance of the Troanry portfolio , by promising him tbut all tbo in- I lluence of the admin'stration should be exerted to make him tbo oandi- 1 date of his party in 189G, Many So- . cretai'ies of the Tronanrv linvn lm/1 President i ll aspirations, notably I i Ulmse, Bristovv ami Sherman, butji nono of them ever succeeded, even ! to the extent of being nominated. 1 But, of course, that is no argument ( Things are done every day that were I never done before. 1 The Panama Canal scandal in 1 Prance is having its effect in Congress.

The sums paid to those men varied between 1,0"" < r 2,000 francs and .'100.000 francs! each. Ste|dianc said that behave tho list to ('lcmeneeau, who, he thought, c< uld make best use of it* Considerable questioning on the part of Chairman luison excited many uddi tional facts which went to show that Stephuno had had in liis possession a list similar to the one photographed for Andrionx.

Stephano was then recalled. He repeated bis former testimony without variation, directly contradicting everything that Clonieneeau had said. The Journal des Debuts says that the police have found three luin died checks paid by A roll, thn Ran iima lobbyist and agent of the O.iron de Keniuch, and endorsed l>y eon-i spicuous men.

'IViu'Iici'h' Association. W c often hear the question asked, "what has become of our Teachers' Association?' N o one scctus to he able to give an answer, bet us ask tho question, "can we havo a live Touchers' Association in this County,'' and let us nil join in the chorus "we can," I lorry has once had an Association, and if it is dead why not restored it? There is .scarcely another county in the liulmeth State, what Iris no such organization* They have been tried and proved to be of great educative inllnence. It is a sad commentary upon the nihility of any S(dtool Commissioner* for him to say that ho cannot get uj> a Teachers' Association in his county. And it is still moro pitablo for a county which is without enough live and progressive teachers to organize and keep up an association. This, wo arc confident, is not the case with our county. I lorry can have a nourishing as ociation if all our teachers would only co-operate and work in union. Teaching is not a profession t<> he ashamed of; on the contrary, the wide awake teacher should he proud of his ealling, and shoul 1 strive diligently to improve, and raise the standard of his profession. I.iko all other professions, it requires con stunt study ami practice to keep in line with our advanced teachors, and he in harmony with the progress <>f tlm Nineteenth Century. It is necessary that ovr teachers como together in council. It affords an opportunity for follow-tonehers t<? give experiences, exchange ideas and discuss principles. In this matter however, it is necessary that we have a leader, thus duty, wo think, naturally devolves upon the School Commissioner, lie it is who should issue the manifesto and lead in effecting an organization . After trie organization is completely, he it is who should see that the teachers attend. Let him visit them, write them cards, write extensively in his county papers, and so interest tho teachers that they cannot keep away. Such an officer would undoubtedly prove a blessing to his County, and justly merit promotion at the end of his term. These meetings ought to be held at least quarterly, and could be con voned at t ie County s^at, or hold at various places throughout the county. liy this means these meetings would have a great "educative inIhience,'' not only among the teachers hut to the public at large. The teachers who attend them will be found auporior to those who do not. The peoplo who attend, seeing the best, most efficient methods, will he ready to help their teacher in his work; and they will not ho satisfied nori progressive teacher.
