Rerunding The Cotton Tax.

There has been much discussion among our exchanges and the pa ners generally of this State, oi Hon. Thos. C. McRae's bill Tn Con rress. to refund the cotton tax. A majority of the press favor the bill as being eminently just and feasible, while some say 1t wi" be hard to pass and will not work well, iuasmuch as many produeeers have disposed of their receipts for this cotton tax, which is ROW held by corporations and capitalists The Daily Gazette, of Little Rock. was among the latter. For the ln- formation of the "Old Lady," and my other objectors, NC VIII here p,ye the two last sections of Mir. McRae's bin, bearing on this ques- ton, the snd section especially beaying upon the point complained Of, and making it impossible for other than the producers hay ing this tax refunded them, ard turn. ing all moneys not so paid out into permanent school fund for the different States:
 SEC. ?. That before the said sums are paid out ofthe Treas. ury of the United States. the said States and Territories shall enter into an obligation to return the tax. cs so collected 10 the producers of said cotton, or their heirs, so far as they can be ascertained and shown by clear and satisfactory evidence of the identity of the producer and the amount paid, to be produced in the manner aud 10 the tribunal authorized by the several States, and to hold and use any portion thereof which cannot be returned 10 the producers. of their heirs, within period of reasonab e iim- ,ation, to be fixed by the States, hot shorter than two years, as a permanent frees chool fund, and far m other purpose.
 SEC. 3. That the right ofhsving said taxes refunded to the produc' CTS is personal, and the claim there for is not aud shall uot be made as signable; and the States are here. by prohibited from paying any part of said taxes so refunded to any assignee thereof.
 The two above sections comprise the whole of Mir. McRae's bill, ex- cepting Section 1, which enumer- ates the several amounts each State paid, which will be refunded in case the bill becomes law.
 We hope the "Old Lady" and other papers who have been mista' ken as to MT, McRae's bill will cor rect the errors they have made.
 The cotton tax was unjust, un- constitutional and burdensome to the people of the South, and the Supreme Court having never con sirmed it, it has remained fund to itself in the. treasury. out of eircu' lation. We cannot see the neces- sity of longer waiting to dispose oi tho matter equitsb!y, by returning it to circulation and the people who paid it, as nearly as possible, and Mr. McRae's bil! will do that, ifpassed. @f

So spend tune and energy in committing to mem ory chronological tables, which are crowded out of the memory in few days. is indeed almost criml- nal. The sequence of events IS the necessity. Dear teachers of Neva- da county, dn "ot spend our time, and that of yoar pupils in strinalnS together dates after dates with few facts of little importance. Do not have your pupils simply read the history lessons, which lnyaria- bly present an array ot facts El'h which the minds of the papllS gen erally have little sympathy. IL matters net what method you use just so you create q real love TOT tie study of History and it's grand underlying principles, which re- suits in a granler patriotism and a Ipurer character. Every lesson should contain inspiration, and the teacher must breathe into 1t the breath Of life.'
 DIRECTIONS.
 1. Examine the advance lessons with the pupils, calling attention to the facts to be mcmorized and have the pupils mark them.
 9. Draw maps and locate in. portant places.
 3. Require pupils to classify aad tabalate the lessons a8 far as possible.
 1. Be sure that your pupils be come acquainted with tue dctaila of the history of Arkansa5.
 ,. Do not have your pupils com init to memory page after page ol the history. Have them to com pIehend the great causes. results and relations"
 6. Assign lessons by topics a. far B possible.
 :. Supplement yonr work by interesting incidents aud stories.
 $. "Fix in the memory tie causes and result. of the War of the Revolution audof iSl2, of tha Mex icsn Wacand the War of Secessiop' but do not attempt to make pupils remember the dates of many bat! tleB."
 9. Review frequently as 10 a Chronology, b. BIogrn phy, C. Ge- ography. This exercise can b' made very interesting
 In general, history cHltiYates th, intellect and iAcu,cates moral les sons. The past should be compar- ed with the present Changes and progress should be noted 1 National eSoiutioAs shoa'l be viewed with their effect upon mind
 Montaigne says: By means O history the pupil enjoys intercours' with the great men of the best po- riods; bat lie must learn not s' much the year and the day of th' destruction of a city, as noble traits of character; not So much oc- currences, as to form correc Judgment upon them''

Cleveland and His Vetoes.

WASHINGTON, July 6.-The Presi-
dent has been engaged the past two
days in personally examining the l4l
special pension acts delivered to him
June "a. which, by reason of the time
required by the Pension Bureau to
examine its records concerning them,
were only ready on Saturday for his
consideration. He has carefully stud
led all the facts presented in the reports
made by the Congressional committee
in each case and the special reports
prepared for his information by the
Pension Bureau, which are very vol
luminous and complete. The result of
his investigation is, 90 bills vetoed
and 12O approved and signed, one
having been recalled. During this
session of Congress 565 special pen
81 on acts have become laws, and 80
have been vetoed.

Ex-Governor CURTIN, our much
esteemed congressman from this dis

stituents, informing them of his reas-
ons for retiring from Congress at the
end of his present term. The circular
letter appears in this issue and the
gentleman's many friends will read OF
his retirement with heartfelt regret.
His congressional career was certain
ly q brilliant one and during his two
terms of office he endearcd himself to
the soldier as we'll as to the laborer.
His patriotic devotion to his country
and his fearlessness in always adyo-
eating measures that would be for the
public good have made him one of the
most prominent members of thellouse
and it is actually pity when man
of his type retires from public life.
But such is the whirligig of time. AT

statesmen step down and out to make

Announcement Of Curtin's
Retirement.

To the Citizens of the TUentieth Con-
gressional District I:
Having contemplated for some time
my retirement from Congress at the ex-
piratlon of my present term. I now an
nounce to the citizens Of the Twen tieth
Congressional District that will not a.
gain lie candidate for reelection.
l make this announcement now in
answer to the many citizens of the Dis
trict, of different political parties, who
have written me asking that l again al
low my name to be used.
The office of Member of Congress is
not sinecure. | am constantly press
ed with duties and engagements which
| try to fulfill but which have too often
failed from the impossibility of success.
Among these, not the least onerous and
painful, are the numerous applications
for official position, where success is
possible under the most favorable Cir
cumstances only to very few.
1t has happened also that the claims
for aid in obtaining pensions made on
me, not only by the Surviving soldiers
resident in Pennsy lyania, but by those
who have left the State, have added
very largely to my labors. l need not
say that haye willingly responded to
these calls from the men who offered
their lives for the preservation of the
Government and I may be allowed to
add that my efforts in behalf of this
most deserving class of our citizens, mot
only in the Bureau of Pensions, but in
my place in Congress, aided sometimes
by my own personal knowledge and
testimony, have not been fruitless.
And here l desire to express especial
ly my deep gratitude to the SURVIVING
soldiers OF the District, who, with re-
markable unanimity, haye earnestly
and enthusiastically sustained me.
Their confidence and friendship, given
to me early in the war, have meyer been
withdrawn, and one of the most CRATE
full reflections of my life is that 1 shall
retain that confidence and friendship
until the end.
Another very gratifying memory of
my public life in State and Nation is,
that have tried to deserve, and have
received in full measure, the confidence
and support of the industrial people of
my District and of Pennsylvania. and
this is the more gratifying because in
every public and private act and utter
ance by which / have sought to advance
the interests and welfare of our work
ingmen, they have been advised that
only in the supremacy of law and order
and by the maintenance of the rights of
person and property, can labor find its
just security and reward.
Honored as l have been 50 often with

j. l.. SpANGLER, ESQ, of Bellefonte,
announces himself as candidate for
Congress in this issue. AS every
county in the district presents candi-
dates for the congressional nomina-
tion, it is most advisable to have Gen.
tire follow suit and keep up with the
rest. Otherwise it would be disputa-
BILE ground and would become regu-
lar battlefield for all the other aspi-
rants. AS far US Mr.. Spangler's rec
ord is concerned we deem it hardly
necessary to write up lengthy article,
as he is well and favorably known by
many. However we would remind
our democratic readers that he is one
of the best barristers in the county, a
man possessing the necessary qualifi-
cations to appear in the congressional
halls acceptably, should he be nomi-
mated and elected, and that he has al
ways been a most active and jealous
worker in the party.

THE recent Republican state con-
vention furnished another strong
proof that the Republican party of
Pennsylvania is run by a powerful
machine. 1t was truly Republican
feast, with set programme, and the
ticket nominated stands upon plat
form of empty phrases, with probably
one exception, the prohibition clause.
AS far as the nominees are concerned,
the ticket is not an iota stronger than
the one in 1882, and is likely to meet
the same fate. Gen. Beaver, at the
head of it, was q brave and illustrious
soldier, and has an irreproachable pri-
vate character, but he is and always
will be an unlueky political star.

AS MAY be seen in the notice at the
head of this column the democratic
state convention of Pennsylvania will
be held in Harrisburg on Wednesday,
August 18th. Of course, the nomina-
tion of a candidate for governor COM
mands the general and foremost at
tention. Though there are quite a
number of candidates mentioned, the
probabilities are that the convention
will settle down to either Lieut.. Gov.
Black or Senator Wallace. At all
events much care should and, we
think, will be taken to select candi-
date that will give general satisfac-
tion, especially since the republican
ticket and platform have some weak
points, that may, by q diplomatic
management of the democratic forces,
become the means of Republican de-
feat.
