School Tax Election.

Our city readers will remember
that the school-tax election will be
held next Tuesday. We hope every
voter will have the material good of
the town in his mind and be patriots
ic enough to vote for it. 1t will keep
our children and money at home, in
stead of sending hundreds of dollars
to other towns every year. 1t will
cause new houses to be built and oc-
cupied by good tenants, and it will
help us in other ways too numerous
to mention. Let us rally as one man
and vote it unanimously.
when we our children educate.
Wegive to them grand estate,
And they may grander make it.
They cannot lose such wealth at play,
They cannot throw such wealth away;
Nor can the Sheriff take it,"

The leading feature is financial af-
fairs is the increased rate OF discount
abroad by the Bank Of England, the
figures having been advanced on
Thursday from 3 to 4 per cent. This
indicates closer money in Europe, aud
the bank statements give further proof
OF tightnsss. The Bank Of France
had its specie decreased the past
week 2,2l2,500 francs, more than three
fourths being silver, and the Bank Of
Epgland's decrease for the week was
1900, while the proportion Of re-
serve to liabilitiesi is 80 7-l3 per cent.
The situation in this country is easy,
and the tendency at all points fayOrs
cheaper money. Here capital is in
ample supply, and mercantile paper
is discounted by banks or insurance
companies at 6 to 8 per cent, accord
ing to the time paper is to run. Ex-
change rules quiet, and no deviation
has occurred for several weeks.
Bankers buy Eastern cotton bills at
par to 10 discount, and sell drafts on
New York at to premium. New
