freighted back and forth to Bristol, England,

Indeed, when Smith in 1914 entered Monhe-
gan Island harbor, on a like voyage, his ships
laden with goods for the purchase of cargo
of furs, he found that the native trade in this
article had been so entirely mohopolized, by
the Pepham commerce that he could do moth

an English trading house, no doubt an eye

trade with the natives.

Teachers Contracts.

Can teacher recover wages on

Certainly not, for il wonld not be

certificate and valid contract.
Is it necessary that the board

director or treasurer. The require
ment that is be flied il directory
merely aud proceeds trom obvious
prudential considerations. Can a
teacher, holding a valid contract,
be dismissed from his school with
out the annulment of his certificat I?
1t is not necessary to wait for
this. If the teacher proves incom-
potent to teach and govern the
school--in ether words, to fulfill nis
part of the contract--it is not only
the right, but the duty Of the board
to dismiss such teacher. OF course
the incompetency must be suscepti.
Bile Of proof The board should not
act hastily, or on the tattle OF dissat-
isfied pupils or parents, but take full
coguizance of the facts. A teacher
thus dismissed, on good grounds
should be promptly and honorahly
settled with, for services rendered /,

nothing more on contract, after being
Justly dismissed.

EDITOR HERALD This jmmense

lation thereto will. Of course, be in
terestins alike TO miners and capital.
lists. IL affords chance for good
and rich investment. the ground be-
ing open for that purpose on really
liberal and encouraging conditions
Mr.. Joseph Spark is the owner of the
cave, which is situated on the Hazel
Green road, little over quarter of
mile from the village of Fairplay.
1t was discovered in 1889; and, al
though known to contain mineral, it
has lain unworked on account of the
heavy condition of the water, which,
however, is now Is feet lower than
has ever been known since its dis
covery.
Mr.. Spark feels confident that a
ten inch pump would drain the cave,
and keep it drained, hence it will be
evident to all practical miners that
the working cost Of the undertaking
could not be heavy. The cave itself
IS only 40 feet from the surface, and
1t seems incredible that capitalists,
though knowing the facts connected
with its discovery and history, have
never thought of making arrange
ments for proving up the evidently
hidden wealth OF this "rnde store
house of Nature" Such an under
taking could not be called ven-
ture. Mineral has been found at the
caves entrance, as we'll as along the
sides as far into its interior as the
state of the water permitted careful
exploration.
When the Brothere Spark, in their
recent tour of explorations, ultimate
ly reached what they call the "Fore-
head, " merely as distinctive name
for the present, they discovered an
other spacious cavern striking off to
the left hand. The ceiling or cap Of
this side chamber is SO high that the
lights from their candles could not
reach it, This cavern they could not
explore. as the entrance was blocked
up with ponderous tumbling rocks.
At this point they found some min
eral OF grain so characteristic that
1t would make any miner declare
that there's more where that came
from The Brothers Spark have
resolved To push their explorations
until they ascertain the number and
extent of these different caverns.
The water is now low, and affords
unusual facilities for so doing. Blu,

Congressional Supremacy.

The principal of Congressional Su-
premacy in the control OF trans State
railroad lines is about TO be tested.
The legislature of Kentucky recently
refused to allow the extension of the
Cincinnati Southern Railroad through
the eastern portion of the Sta. Q. To
connect with the Southern seaboard
lines through sheer jealousy of the
northern termini, and in continuance
Of its old fogy policy of exclusive
State legislation, TO the prejudice of
rs citizens and general prosperity
Mr. Sherman of Ohio has introduced
bill granting the right Of way, and
thus establishing a precedent, winch
resolution If successfully carried
through Congress, will make a rad.
ical revolution ia the management Of
the Railroad interests of this coun
try. III seems to us that the adoption
OF this principle. thereby bringing
the vast power of railroads under
one general control. and that control
responsible directly 10 the people OF
all the sections interested. cannot bur
work we'll, asc deprive be nubridled
eastern corporations ofsome part Of
tneir responsibility 70 the people Of
tho West, whose produce aud traffic
are now their piunder. There can
he no doubt that sooner or later, d
stand Of some character has 90 lie
made, aud line of demarcation es-
tablIshed, where the power of vast
railroad corporations, whose lines
extend over states aud territories,
shall end, the rights OF citizens begin.
And that principle will never get
toothold so long as the subject is LEFT
To the Legislatures of twenty differ
ent States, representing as many diff
ferent interests. 1t is no doubt a
matter which will excite warm dis
cussion, much legal investigation, and
q desperate struggle before becoming
q fixed policy. The Aurora Herald
one OF the ablest of our Illinois con-
temporaries, says:
"The time is not far distant when
Congress will be forced, in the exer
else its constitutional authority for
the regulation Of commerce between
the States, to take cognizance Of these
things Yet the questions involved
are 40 many and so intricate, that
our legislators may well hesitate to
grapple with them and when the
problem does come up, it will try
their honesty as well as their wisdom,
TO the uttermost.
1t is an important sign of the in
creasing interest which this matter
excites, that the most thoughtful Of
our public men, our most careful
thinkers, and the writers in our best
newspapers and reviews, are giving
il more OF their attention. We are
beginning to feel that we shall soon
be brought face to face With prob
lens whose solution will call for all
the knowledge we can acquire and

political science, there have been re-
Gently not q few valuable contribu-
tions to the written ideas upon this
