We note with pleasure the increasing
desire on the part of the people for bet
ter teachers-for q higher standard Of
scholaship-for more thorough work
for an improvement on the humdrum
style of hearing vecitations, in short, for
teachers with teaching qualities inherited
by nature, and improved by cultivation.
More and more those teachers will sink
to their proper level who think there is
nothing more for them to learn, and day
by day proceed around in circle.

At che recent State Convention Of
Teachers the subject of "How to improve
the public schools,.' Vas discussed by the
School Commissioners present, and the
universal sentiment was "more money"
This opinion il entertained by nearly
everybody, and the question is how to
rsise it. Everybody wants a longer
school term, and longer terms mean more
money. Now. how are we to get it.?
The only answer is from the people
themselves, from the whole body of the
people, and it must be left to them, to
say whether they will pay it, and how.
Every parent is interested in the educa-
ton of his child, that he shall at least
receive the rudiments Of an education,
and it is equally clear to every parent that
his child will not receive it going to
school two to three months in the year.
Then will you lengthen the term by pri-
vate subscription or by taxation? When
it is done-by private subscription few
have the burden, and some receive the
benefit without assuming any of the bur.
dens. But the Legislature has provided
by statute very simple solution OF the
difficulty. Under the recent Act ma.
jority of the resident freeholders In any
Township may petition the Trustees to
call public meeting of all the taxpayers
of the District who return real or per-
sonal property ofthe value of Que hun
dred dollars, and this meeting, by ma.
jority vote of those present, may levy q
special tax of not more than two mills,
and each voter has theright to designate
at what school house his money shall be
expended. If the people will -take. hold
of this it will give us about double the
present term, so that we could have at
least six months school. It is a mat.
ter for each Township to determine for
itself, and will not cost the people as
much as it does now to run school by
private subscription, for everybody will
have to help. Many Of t.e iownahias
in ether Counties have already acted
upon it, and it is going into effect this
next winter, and let rs not be behind.

How many parents have visited their
schools since they began? Some of your
schools are running low, and we wonder
how many are going to visit them. You
are not busy now, and would it not be a
good idea to hitch up some day and go
over and spend two or three hours with
the school and see if your children are
doing anything? May be you don't
know much about school teaching, but
that tired teacher will be glad to see you
and your own boy or girl will be helped
by your manifestation of interest.

We need professional teachers-men
and women who follow teaching as a
business for the purpose Of making q
livelihood, and we cannot have them
until there is at least good living in
the business. No man or woman can
afford to teach for three or four months
in the year and then scratch around for
living the balance OF the year. The
teacher who does this will be failure
will satisfy neither himself nor his
patrons. And the teacher who attempts
to do this lowers the profession and les.
sens his own selfrespect.

 Attempt to Assasslnate q Priace-The
 Pope's Voice Very Feeble.
 LONDON, Oct. 21.-Judge Hannen, the presiding Judge of the Parnell Com mission, which will resume business at the old stand next Thursday, has ex- pressed strong determination to un- earth the missing books of the League and the first business of the Commission will be an attempt to ex- tort some thing in regard to their where abouts from Mir. Henry Campbell, MT. Parnell's private secretary.
 All similar attempts made'at tho last session of tho Commission proved fu- tile, and 1t Is claimed now that the fail ure to elicit any evidence on tho sub ject was due entirely to the lack of in formation on the part of the questioners.
 During the long recess neither Judge Hannen nor the Attorney-General has been idle, and under their instruction the Secretary of the Commission, it is stated, has gathered full and complete informa tion as to the manner in which tho missing books and documents have been disposed of. This inform ation, it is claimed, will enable tho Attorney General to question Mir. Campbell and other witnesses, who have been subpanacd to testify, with sufficient knowledge of the facts to insure truth full and valuable evidence.
 The friends of MT. Parnell deny that any information whatever has been gathered in Paris or any where clso bearing on the sub ject, and assert that the claim that such is the fact is merely bluff on tho part of tho enemies of Ireland who seek in this way to scare MT.

 WAsH1NGToN. Oct 21.-As members elect to the Fifty-frst Congress reach the city, gossip respecting the organ ization of the next House of Represen- tatives naturally increases. The con- census of opinion among members-elect now here indicate that the Speakership will go either to Maine (Mr. Reed) or Ohio (Mr. Mckinley.
 Messrs. Burroughs, of Michigan, and Cannon, of Illinois, are both on the ground, however, and it IS said will at least make tho contest interesting before balloting begins. At this writ ing it would be very difficult under taking to pick out the stronger candi- date from the first two named.
 Major John M. Carson, of the Phila- delphia Ledger" appears to have already practically captured the clerk ship of the next House. In his modest way Major Carson has been working all summer and it is claimed by his friends that he has pledges sufficient to elect on the first ballot.

A NEW INDUSTRY,
The Manufacture of Rolled Steel Car E2Wheels to Begin at Norristown, Pa.

The Manufacture of Rolled Steel Car EAWheels to Begin at Norristown, Pa.
 NoRRIsTowN, Pa., Oct. 21.-There is every probability of an important revo- lution in railroad car wheel construc- tion, for it will not be long before a new industry in that direction is estab- lished at this place. A prominent car wheel company has purchased ground for its buildings, and will begin tho manufacture of rolled steel car wheels.
 At the present time the car wheels used for railroad rolling stock in this country are made either of chilled iron or of softer substances. such as papier mache with steel tire. There were 600, 900 tons of charcoal iron manufac- tured in the United States last year, and of this amount fully one-half went in- to chilled iron car wheels. For some time fGst, however, the increasing weight of passenger. but especially freight, loads which the wheels have to bear up has convinced manufacturers that solid steel would have to be used as material.
 The establishment to be built there is, of course, in the nature of an expert ment, but if rolled steel car wheels should prove valuable in service, the in- dustry is capable of indefinite expansion owing to tho large demand for railroad cars all through the country.

BIG PAY NO TEMPTATION.

EnglisI, Miners Refuse to Bring Up the
 Dead Bodies in Eentilce Col1iery.
 LONDON, Oct. 21.--The engineers this morning pronounced the Bentilee colliery at Langton safe. and the super intendent again called for volunteers among the miners to go down for the purpose of bringing up the remaining bodies of the men killed in the recent explosion, but not single man re- sponded.
 The stench from the decomposing bodies is so great that not one of the men could be tempted by the offers of big pay to again enter the mine.
 Two rival coroners arc on the ground awaiting the production of the bodies, while disgraceful quarrel between them as to the question of jurisdiction stands in the way of any disposition of the S7 bodies already recovered. As these cannot be buried without per- init from one of these two officials and as neither will grant this until the other withdraws his claim to the right to hold the inquest, the situation is as dangerous to the health of the neigh borhood as it is disgracefu1. A compro- mise by which the fat fees of the inquest will be divided seems the only issue to the squabble.

He Is Glad that iIc Granted More Pen

 WAsH1NGToN, Oct. 21.-Ex-Com- missioner Tanner makes public a long letter in reply 70 the one recently published by Secretary Noble. It is savage in tone. lie denies that he was insubordinate and quotes in ful his let ter to the Secretary in August, in which he said he desired to carry out Noble's wishes, and if he had not done so he wished Noble to advise him. Tanner says tho Secretary did not an swer this letter.
 Tanner then takes up the question of his action on the ground that it was his duty as Commissioner to do so. He calls Noble's attention to the fact that he (Noble), sent General Powell, of Illinois, to Commissioner Black with a note, and that Black rerated Powell and gave him SS, 800 arrears.
 Tanner states his belief that he was forced to resign because of his excessive liberty in granting pensions, but claims he only tried to carry out what he and other Republican speakers had promised old soldiers in the campaign that cleo ted Harrison.
 In conclusion he attacks the methods of the commission that investigated the Pension Office, and says he was denied the right of being present to defend himself.
 All the commission found wrong was that he (Tanner) was granting more pensions than his predecessor. This he vas glad of.

"GRASPING YANKEES"

England, Spain, italy and France Jealous
 of the United States.
 LONDON. Oct. 21-It is amusing to Americans here to read the great lead CTS in the daily papers on the dangers that threaten the South American trade. Spain, Italy and France are united in their denunciations of the grasping Yankees, and their press pour forth daily warnings of the danger to the ''accendarcy of the Latin race" in South America, through the machina- tions of the Northern republic. Spain is impressed with the danger which threatens Cuba and additional troops are to be sent at once to the lever faithful isle,' a plausible method of increasing Sagasta's influence there.
 The wailing of the English press over the danger to British trade with South America give point to the exceptional jealousy of the United States which marks British traders. The Germans have repeatedly cut into English com merce in South America, but the rivalry has been accepted philosophi- cally, and no clamors about German greed or German conSpiracieS have awakened the public indignation.

IMPORTANT DECISION.
Bearing Upon the Enforcement of Pro1i-
 hition Law In Iowa.


 hition Law In Iowa.
 DEs MONIES, Ia., Oct. 21.-The su- preme court has rendered an important decision bearing upon the enforce ments of the prohibitory liquor law. An informat tion had been filed before justice, alleging that certain liquors owned by Con Crceden were kept in the Rock Island freight depot in Des Moincs and were intended for sale in violation of the law. The railroad company was made party, the case was tried in the district court, and the liquors were ordered to be destroyed
 The defendants appealed, claiming that the liquors were in the custody of the railroad company as a common car rier and that the matter became one of interstate commerce, over which the State courts had no jurisdiction. The decision of the Supreme Court finds that Creeden was persistent violator of the law and had been receiving liquor in this way for some time, using the freight office as a storage room to keep the packages till needed. These liquors had been received from six to fifteen days prior to the seizure. Tho court holds that the inter- state commerce feature of the transac- tion ended when the liquors had reached the freight house; that the railroad, in keeping them for several days was holding them, not as a carrier but as warehouseman. Under the circum- being held for illegal purposes and was no longer matter of interstate com merceand was properly seized an con- domnad

HAD A BOGUS GOLD BRICK. \ New York Confidence Man Arrested In
 a Pennsylvania Town.

READING, Pa., Oct. 21.-The police of this city arrested man who was acting in suspicious manner in the suburbs, and upon searching him they found in 8 handbag a bogus gold brick, which he had been endeavoring to sell to an un- suspecting farmer. The man gave the name of James McVicker, and said his home was in New York.
 The authorities in New York were notified of the arrest, and Inspector Byrnes at once recognized in the description of the prisoner, James Me- Wicker, the notorious confidence man who piled his vocation in that city sev- eral years ago.
 McVicker was at one time cowboy. He came East about six years ago to escape arrest, it is said, for killing a man. In 1884 he shot and killed Frank Gordon. ''crook." on the corner of the Bowery and Blocker streets, New York, in quarrel over the division of plum der. The only witnesses to tho affair were party of degraded women. friends of McVicker, who testified in his behalf at the trial, and subse- quently brought about his acquittal. He was arrested several times for con fdence operations.
