LOAN CERTIFICATES.

BY an act of Congress approved Feb
ruary goth, 1879, the Secretary of the
Treasury is authorized to issue certifi-
Gates of deposite of the denomination
Of $40. bearing interest at the rate of
per cent. These certificates
will be nearly of the form and size of
the United States note, bearing on
their face and back the conditions of
their issue. will he ready for delivery
about the first of April, at which time
interest begins, and will be sold for
the lawful money of the United States
at par aud accrued interests at date OF
purchase. These certificates have
been created for the two-fold pur-
pose of aiding in the refundlng
of The national debt at alower
/ rate of interest, and enabling
people of limited means who desire to
save their small earnings to place them
where they viii be absolutely safe ana
ALWAYS available. Both these objects
are commcndable and worthy the coun-
| tenance Of the masses who have learn
ed to their great cost the instability OF
saving banks. These certificates are
convertible into 4 per cent. bonds, up
ON conversion into which the interest
becomes payable, interest running
| from April 1st as above stated. 1t is
| the purpose of the Secretary OF the
/ Treasury to make this loan as popular
and accessible as possible and to that
end banks, bankers, postmasters and
other public officials and other persons
will he invited and encouraged to aid
in placing this loan in the hands or
| people of limited means-those for
whom it was especially designed.
Should the project of SO introducing
this refunding scheme prove success
full we have no doubt that it will be-
come quite popular with the people
and of mutual benefit to the holders
of such certificates and the govern
ment. Secretary Sherman also an
nounces that as soon as practicable
certificates of the denomination of
300 viii be issued under the law above
cited, to be registered in the books OF
the treasury in the name of the owners,
which name will be entered upon the
face of the certificate. The issue OF
the certificates which we have thus
briefly noticed cannot fail to affect
adversely savings banks, but the his
tory of savings institutions of this
country during the past few years mas
tended greatly to impair public cent?
dence therein and there is no just
cause for complaint on the part of the
institutions suggested that this dis
trust should beget more safe and per-
feet system of deposits of which de-
positors can avail themselves.

Tue dogma of State sovereignty
which came near precipitating a rebel
lion in 1882, checked only by the firm
ness of President jackson, and which
brought on the great civil war of
1S61-5, is again asserting itself In our
National Congress to suppress which
stern measures may yet be evoked.

The advocates of a high protective
tariff in this country are beginning to
observe hints from the Dominion Gov
eminent of Canada and the German
Empire that this is a game that two
can play at, the latter proposing to
impose a tariff on all imports from the
United States practically prohibitory
in it's nature. Should Great Britain
and other countries to which Ameri-
can exports are now sent, adopt the
measure suggested, our boasted ''bal-
ance of trade" would soon be obliter-
ated.

The Greenbackers cut sorry figure
in the organization of the National
House of Representatives.. Instead of
their boosted balance of power their
candidate Tor speaker received but
thirteen votes, neither the Democrats
or Republicans manifesting any desire
to buy or sell. The Democrats have a
majority over Republicans and Green
hackers combined, hence there was no
occasion for trade of any kind and
the Greenbackers as well as the Re-
publicans are left out in the wet.

ELIZA KELLEY, Tovey district, Spring

good compositions. She wisely gives
these their proper place in school
work. Her pupils sing. Reading
thorough and lessons short.
c. q. McIsTYRE, Lauder school, River

has shown sufficient interest In the
school to visit it during the winter
term. We wish that several hundred
such ladies could be imported and even

would help US out.

THERE are some teachers who say to
us that they have one very nice class
and would like to show us how nicely
it is doing. That is just The class we
do not care to hear or see. IL you have
a class that is an utter failure, "trot
it out. We can recall our own expe-
rience under the system of township
superintendency and ''committee" sys-
TEN, and the practice of keeping few
classes to show off, TO visitors, clings
to few from early customs. The
idea that the superintendent must OK
anime classes is another medieyaiism.
He comes to see your everyday work,
not to waste time with a class that
will only become embarrassed by his
questions, as a stranger. Be modern;
stick to your programme though q
king calls. Do not hint at anything
else.

WE know schools in Pierce county
in which a teacher is almost always
dictated by the parents in regard to
his methods, and if there is any chance
to annoy him it does not pass unim-
proved. The result is that the pupils
grow up with the most unlova1le and
hypercritical dispositions possible.
Their parents TO them seem very smart
because they can find fault with any
teacher. Such children should be
pitied, but they are despised. Parents
need not wonder why they do not gain
more friends. OF course, In education
they are years behind other pupils,
does that pay! 1t is always good poll
cy to sustain poor teacher, if you
must have one, much more good
one. 1t is a sign of some genius to be
able to see good work and know it, but
not to growl at every thing different
from our own inherited beliefs.
