THE IItJIsD bill,

The Uurl bill, whica, provides that no
freight originating In tho United States
should pass through Canada, is still n sub
jcct of discussion among shippers and rail-
roal nun here. M ono believes that the bill
WIS introduced In Congress III good faith.
There Is Il general belief that the principal
object Of introducing 1t was for tho PURPOSE
OF Influencing stock spcculat1ons. There nro
some raflrond managers, WHO Nre evidently
well posted, who hint tint deeper aim WIS at
ti,cb0ttom of thatbiIl. Oneof these gentlemen
statetl to a TRIBUNE reporter yesterday, while
discussing the bill, tint there WINS 10
joke or stock speculation Mt the bottom OF
the matter. III his opinion the bill
would become law sooner or later.
Upon being questioned Qs to tho grounds for
such belief, lID sn1l that the EASTERN railroad
managers hat! becOnla greatly alarmed over
the prospects OF q National Ratlroad lnw.
Such Il law, he saf,l, would fix ratesa.ld rules
lean foads only. Thus the Cal!ntla roads
would hp enabled to tlO rs they pleasctl, and
could inflIct Immense ,dan,age upon tho
American lines. III order. to make q Nm
tt0nal Natfr0nd law operative, 1t would bo
necessary to phssthe bill as proposed by Mr..
IIurd, prohibiting tho Canadn lines from
competing with tlls American ,ronds. Que

Classification of the Normal School
Teachers.

Some years since, practical educators
urged upon the attention OF the Regents
of Normal Schools the propriety of
grading the salaries OF teachers in these
schools upon their terms OF service. II
was then maiutaned that it would pre-
vent dissatisfaction and complaint, re-
move the occasions for raising the COM
peusatiOu Of any teacher on mere personal
grounds place ali employed on more
equal footing, and supply proper lncen.
lives for these 10 rem ain longer under the
employment ot the Board. The necessity
OF adopting this policy became very ap-
parent at the recent annual meeting OF The
Regents, and the following classification

GEN HANCOCK, in his letter of accept
ance, says, at is only by full vote, free
ballot and fair count, that the people can
rule in tact, as required by the theory OF
our government Take this foundation
away, and the whole structure falls" he
could not have framed more pointed
rebuke to the party which has placed him
ia nomination. 1t IS notorious that msny
of the States which sr5 counted as solid
for him d. not pretend 10 have either Is
free ballot or tsir count. The
NazoO plan OF intimidation Is
in extensive use in Mississippi,
Louisiana, Alabama South Carolina
and other portions of the South. Tissue
ballots have IN many instances decided
the elections. The contingent plan has
been put ia successful operation in many
places, to thwart the legitimate decisions
of the Dallot-bJx, II these monstrous
abuses, the existence Of which cannot be
successfully disputed, had been corrected
at their first appearance the present Con
gress, instead of being largely Democrat.
ic, would have been Republican in both
branches, and ospecuyely, Gen. HAN
COCK would not stsnd the slightest
chance of an election; the solid por-
ton of his support would be
broken up, aud he would tsil with
out remedy, In many OF the
Southern States, where there was lsrge
Republican majority Only = lew years
ago, the Republican element, SO tar ss is
shown by the election returns, is almost
utterly extinct, and in hardly any locality
is there free vote. II has been made
dangerous, as well IS futile, TO be an out
spoken Republican there. The shotgun
heroes ana the riile-club marksmen nave
done their fatal work AMI made II ex-
tremely unhealthy to express any opinion
or take any political action not approved
of by the Bourbon element. Gen. HAN
OCK must ave been aware OF this condl-
ton of things when he penned his letter,
and the question is whether he would feel
