The presence of Henry Villard,

is the avowed personal represent aivc
of President elect Cleveland, I
md for the avowe 1 purpose of seourng
votes for the suspension of the ,
)'jrchaso of silver bullion l>y the ,
freasury, is an indication of the |
jreat interest that Mr. Cleveland is
aking in this subject; but the oppo- ;
lition of the silver men to such a i
>ill, unless it also provides a satisactory
substitute f??r the present |
diver law, and the idisposition of)
he ropublicians to aid in carrying (
>ut Mr. Cleveland's ideas, even |
hough they accord with their own, |
liakes an opposition that will hardly j
>e overcome, and, if it should get J
hrough tho House, the s'lver Sena- (
,ors have given notice that it will (
?ot he allowed to pass the Senate, t
in I Presidential influence is never (
10 strong in the Senate as in the |
louse, although it is said that Mr. \
Millard can control some ' otes in

The progress of the House on the
Vtorironriatinn hills i.< not snnh <ih tr? i
>11 courage those who are interested ,
n other legislation. A member of ]
he House who has hud nearly tvven- j1
y vvurs ej>crience said to me, "even j j
f wo lost r.o timo waiting for the , |
committees to report Appropriation ,
>i 1 Is it would take every day of the I
iine between now and the 4th of <
March to properly consider the Ap- 1

uf Congress, and never at tho short '
sessions, and this session will not
differ from its predecessors in that
respect* Wo shall plod along until
the last days of the session, and
then tnero will he a grand rush on
the Appropriation hills and as passed
Ihev will contain much that should
have been left out, and much that
they should contain wili necessarily
he left out. 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

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.
Senator VVollcot, of Coloru ,

'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.
The membership of the association,
we don't think, should he eonfinod
to teachers alone*
All who will take upon themselves
an obligation to aid the cause of
education in ny and every possible
way should he urged to join.
Preachers, physicians farmers,
lawyers, all should ho enlisted under
the banner of educational progress;
and their sympathy and aid
can he engaged if they are properly
approach-- I. People interested in
farming organize Alliances; those
in labor form labor unions; thoso
who believe in temperance organize
(cmp reuco lodges; for the propogatio
i of the grett religi hh doctrines
churches arc establish^ 1; the lawyer,
doctor and merehant nil have their
societies and organizations; then,
why should not these,?the success
