TYING UP THE CURRENCY.

Mr.. FOLGER's contractive policy is
beginning to create some uneasiness in
business circles, and is believed to be
operating as an impairment Of trade.
Having reduced the Treasury balance
to a very low figure by successive calls
of bonds, Mr.. FoLGER, toward the end
Of January, turned suuarely upon his
heel and began to restore the balance
to its standard level by keeping the sur
plus revenue in the vaults of the depart
ment. AS the result of his reversal OF
policy, he has practically produced Sc
we're contraction of the currency at a
time of the year when, under natural
influences, the money supply is always
ut its lowest.
The Boston Herald gives the follow
ing remarkable comparison between
the lawful money and gold and silver
bullion held by the Treasury, exclusive
of outstanding certificates, as stated last
Monday, and the amounts reported by
the department OH the LIST ult.:

Mr.. EDIToR:--We had the pleasure Of atien l.
lug meeting at Mt. Tabor on Christmas day.
The object of the meeting was to interest the
children with Christmas tree, and give the
pastor pounding. We were pleased to notice
the harmony that prevailed among all denomi-
nations and many persons, members of no church
were equally interested in making the occasion
a success. Leau,iful Holly bush, with its
green leaves and red berries. was made more
attractive by the many nice presents hung there
on for the young people and the Pastor. Every
one seemed delighted. and the children especi.
ally as they received the presents from the beau
tful tree. No doub; tn. Ch istmas tree at Mt
Tabor will be talked about by the children ill
Christmas comes again. The Pastor would CRATE
fully acknowledge the many valuable presents
he received from different persons on the occa-
sion. Surely minister should feel very thank
full and much encouraged to known that so many
OF his friends are willing to lend eIping hand
in supporting him. d.

For
The Schools.


Before pyoceeaing further in the discussion
of this questio ver1ta l will say once for all
that nothing can be further from my intention
than to say one word rejecting on the motives
of the officers of our Public Schools or on the
teachers whom they have employed. The former
ma Of the highest character. have been sin
cefely desirous of fully dscharging the duties
they assumed: while for the teachers it would
be difficult task indeed to find persons more
accomplished than Mrs. Clifford, Mis-. Massey
and Mrs. Gibbs, Maj. D. A. Townsend and Mr..
B. F. Bailey.
without question, upon the Trustees are de-
volved the duties Of selecting the teachers from
amongst those holding certificates and of locat-
ing the schools in the school Districts and also
Of determining the compensation TO be paid the
teachers, and further, to see that the teachess
do their duty. But the course of studies
curricuum-is prescribed By the State Board of
Education, and is of binding obligation upon
all connected with the public schools. Should
it be desired to have other branches taught at
the same time and place there coull be no OBJ
lection to its being done, provided these were
not allowed to impede or interfere with the reg
ular free course. This can be reality effected
by calling in such additional assistance as may
BE- requisite for the purp"se-to be paid for
outside Of the public fund, which by lay is de.
voted solely to the support of the Free Public
Schools.
-. This fund is small at best--pitiahly small,
Fcompared TO the interests at stake-and the
greater is the need Of economy in its applica-
ton. In other school Districts of the County
the public schools arc taught for much less than
has been paid here, and well taught too. Is it
not sad to see so many Of our boys and girls
leaving home to seek schools elsewhere? We
have only to look about ~ to see how very neg
leciful we have been in the cause of Education

cmies, forsooh, which are dependent on the
charity OF the Town authorities to keep them
from falling to pieces? And yet who will be
bold enough to say that our Town is behind any
ofthosc named, in refinement in culture, in m o.
rality and in all those things that make life de-
sirable. Then let us pause long enough to re.
fleet how little of all this is home bred and how
g'cat is the danger of being left far in the
rear in the onward and upward march of our
vauntedi iAnglo saxon race. O.

mcncy in putting the streets in such condition
