The Silver Question.

Many tiuauciers have continually
claimed that the cause of our present
'.hard times is not for any political
reasons but because of the unsettled
condition of the silver question. 1t
certainly is not an economic measure
to buy silver bullion and coin it at the
rate of S24, 5000 Il year, and then
have to purchase new vaults to store
this surplus in. But the time may
come when the treasury department,
because Of the small gold-balance, will
have to pay the clearing houses these
silver dollars Instead of gold. Such Il
crisis was barely averted Il few months
ago and is liable To occur again at any
time. Also rs Senator Morrill, has re-
Gently pointed out i'll the debate in
congress, the establishment of IL silver
standard instead of a gold standard
will fall the heaviest on the working
class. for. it means depreciation OF Is
OF ~ per cent. in the purchasing power
of money in every hody's pocket. Also
such change would lower the wages
of every working man in the country,
and all receiving fixed incomes. With
these arguments against the further
coinage of silver dollars it is an abSo-
lutte necessity that congress should
stop their coinage, and the sooner that
step is taken the better will be the
financial condition of our country.

The Adirondack Forests.

Mr.. Julian Rix. who is n native OF
Peacham, has been giving Il series of
pen pictures IN Harper's Weekly, OF
the wilderness which was once a part
of the great Adirondack forest, but
which i now rendered desoiate by the
hand. OF the ruthless farmer with fire

are considered feasible for the urOtec-
ton of the forest. one is 10 have them
under state control and the other is to
have them under private ownership.
Both these methods have their several
adhcrents, and it is gratifying To
notice that this important matter is be
ing discussed and good results may be
expected thereirom. Besides the pre-
valence of dIouths and floods directly
tracea bic to forest obstruction, there is
abundant evidence that our timber

Letters from the People.
A Word About Schools.
prom a Danville Correspondent. /

- From Danville Correspondent .--
The recent discussion upon the sub
ject of singing in our common schools
has led me to give my opinion in re-
gard to the matter. think the intro
duction of singing into the schools has
been benefit. My experience has been
that it has a wonderfully quieting in
fiuence in a school and so is beneficial
in government, aside from the real ad-
vancement made in musical education
which is quite noticeable /; as the schOl-
airs in our common district schools, al
most without exception, enjoy singing
for few minutes each day in school.
But there is another reason why sing
ing has been Il benefit. 1t has awak-
ened an interest among parents and
supporters of schools, and such an in
terest awakened in the fathers and
mothers of the scholars is just what
the schools most need.
What merchant would entrust the
care of his books to an entire stranger
for two or three months at a time,
without once glancing over the ac-
counts, or in any way acquaintlng
himself with the manner in which this
branch of his business is being carried
ON ? Yet many of our teachers are
hired almost entire strangers, some
friend of the applicant perhaps gives a
lot Ii
ing anything about the capabilities as
II teacher, and the authorized persons,
to save time and trouble accept the
applicant upon condition that GER
tain per cent. can be passed in the
examination, upon a few of the COM
mon school branches.
All parents should know what is be-
ing done toward the education of their
children, and whether the school is an
advantage or "a detriment, aud if it be
worse than no school take measures to
make it better; but if the school is
making good progress freely tell the
teacher the same and let her feel that
they appreciate what she is doing and
that they are satisfied with her modes
of teaching. Every teacher needs en-
couragment and needs to be made to
feel that hers is an important work
and each scholar needs the encourage
ment equally as much. Scholars should
be made to feel that the work they are
doing is worthy the notice of older
people. They cannot always realize
the advancement they are making un-
less they are reminded of it occasion
ally. Then parents visit your children
in school, and when you have heard
their recitations and taken note of
their behavior, talk to them kindly
and encouragingly, and it will most
certainly stimulate both scholars and
teacher to greater efforts in the way of
education. E. F. H.

Counting the Electoral Vote.

In the discussion of tire electoral
vste question in 1876, when President
Hayes was finally seated by a Joint
commission, Senator Edmunds gave
the opinion that the vice president had
no power to declare the result. when
Congress meets ia open and count the
electoral votes. Last week Wednes-
day. rs president of the joint eonven-
tons of The two houses OF Congress,
Mr.. Edmunds was careful TO announce
the vote in u way which left no doubt
of his conviction upon the subject.
The language of the constitution is
this: The president Of the Senate
and House of Representatives open all
the certificates, and the votes shall

was performed and the counting OF the
votes. and canvass of the result was
really done by the telleTs. After Sen
ator Hoar. as one of the tellers, hand
acting vice presideur-he announced
the result, which was in brief PIG

and iS2 vUtes for Blaine and Logan,
when he added. Grover Cleveland

dent of the United States for four
years commencing on the 1th of March,

Sir. Edmuuds closed with these words /:

ness aud ability. He will find friends
where he never suspected them before,
who will be driven to declare them
selves by his position. Many even
who may not approve his political at
titude in the late campaign will dread
the manifestation of spirit that de-
nies an editor of Mr.. Stdne's honesty
and consistency the right to express
his real convictions. When the bitter
ness shall have passed away, and the
partisan heats have cooled, ne will
find that he has suffered only ia the
pain of losing some old friends and
making them enemies. But in bust
ness way, in the respect of his readers,
and the length of his subscription list,
he will find that he has not lost any
thing. In Journalism, as in other en-
terprises, there is not Only neral sat
isfaction in being honest and copscien-
tious, but there is business wisdom in
it. Mr.. Stones experience, we expect,
will give him higher opinion of the
honesty, fairness and tolerance of the
newspaper reading public as whole
than he ever had before. ...-..

SOUTH RYEGATE.

| NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH.
NJ. F. Mcdonald had very narrow
escape at the station last week Tues
| day morning. He started to cross the
railroad track from the station to his
stone works, in front of the snow pillow,
which was running at a medium rate
of speed. Surprising that it was the
morning mail train he started to cross
the track, thinking that the train
would slow up and stop as the morn
ing mail always does, and thus give
him plenty of time to cross. He had
nearly reached the opposite side of
the track when the snow pillow struck
him on the leg throwing him back on
the wing of the pillow, where he was
carried down to the switch distance
of nearly one hundred yards before the
train could be stopped. When they
backed off of him it was found that
both bones of his left leg were broken
just above the ankle. Drs. j. B. and
S. w. Darling set the leg and at last
accounts he was doing as well as could
be expected. His escape was almost
miraculous as the train could not have
been run four feet farther without rails
ing the pillow on account of the switch
irons, when Mr.. Mcdonald would have
been carried under the wheels and
fearfully mangled if not killed out
right.
