WASHINGTON MATTERS.
AMERICAN LEAD FOR AMERICANS,


WAsnlNGroN, May 20 The house
yesterday afternoon went into committee
Of the whole and proceeded to the con
sideraton of the tariff bill, the pending
amendment being that offered 10y Fun
ston, of Kansas, striking from tle meta
schedule the prOviso that silver ore, and
all other ores containing lead, Shall pay
duty of p cents per pound on the lead
contained therein. The amendment was
defeated by vote OF ilO t. 1874.
The result has set the American lead
miners wild with delight. The struggle
is not yet done with, bnt the friends Of
free lead have met with such disaster rs
to greatly weaken any further attempt
they may make to rally.
ARIZONA APPOINTMENT.
The president has sent to the senate
the nomination OF George Christ to be
collector OF customs Of Arizona.
SILVER AGAIN.
The senate yesterday resumed coHsid-
GRAFTON of the silver bill, Senator Dolph

pass the free coinage bill, as it has been
asCertained that the president would veto
such u measure.
CLOSER RELATIONS.
The president has sent to the senate
the letter OF the secretary Of state sub.
hitting the plan for preliminary survey
for railway line to connect the principal
cities of the American hemisphere, in ac
cordance with the recommendation Of the
Pam American congress. The president
recommends prompt action by congress
to enable the government to participate
in the promotion OF the enterprise.

The Editors.

The Wolverine editors took Min
neapols somewhat by surprise yester-
day, but had their visit been heralded
i'm advance their welcome could not
have been heartier, though their enter
tainment might have been more elabor-
ate and better suited to the spirit of
the city and the deserts of the guests.
The editors are always welcome. Min
nesota and Minneapolis cannot forget
what royal time the North Star state
editors had on their recent summer
tour, nor fail to reciprocate in kind
whenever thought-moulders happen
this way. Michigan has a thoroughly
representative state press. Her coun-
try newspapers are ably conducted and
are a power for good in the state.
There is hardly state in the union
where the weekly papers are more
respected than in Michigan nor where
they more deserve to be respected by
the good elements of society. Min
neapols is glad to see the Wolver-
inc editors; TO bid them "A joyous journey
and to congratulate them on having a
vacation from the labors of the desk

In view of the widespread attention now CEN
tered in the Yellowstone National Park, the follow
ing expressions from two Of the most eminent
American citizens one a scientist and the other a

prof Iohn Muir Calfornia's Distinguished
Geologist speaking of the National Resort says:
Situated in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, on
the broad rugged summit OF the continent, amid
snow and ice and dark shaggy forests, where the
great rivers take their rise IL surpasses IN wakefu
exciting interest any other region yet discovered
on the face of the globe"
RevT Dewitt Talmage the eminent divine says:
after all poetry has exhausted itself and when
all the Norans and Bierstadts and other enchant-
ing artists have completed their canvas, there will
be other revelations TO make and other stories OF
its beauty and wrath, splendor and agony, TO be
recited The Yellowstone Park is the Geologist 5

spent the time in chatting, strolling
and games until six o'clock, when sup
per was announced and fifty-two people
marched To IA table well spread with u
feast which was fully appreciated by
each participant. After supper, ride
ON the steamer, music and dancing
occupied the time until the whistle
from the incoming train warned every
one that pleasure must cease. The
gentlemen, especially enjoyed them
selves SD much, and wishing To return
the compliment, appointed committee
consisting of W. r. Sellick, Chas.
Wildey, DR.. Ferguson and Hugh Harri-
son, To make arrangements for another

Teachers Institute.

The State Teachers Institute for Van
Buren, county will he held at Hartford,
commencing at ten O'Clock Il. IN. Mon
day, August IL, and closing at p. NJ.
Friday, August %.
Mr.. w. V. Sage, Hartford, local COM
mitte6.
The value of the instruction received
at these Institutes is being very gener-
ally recognized by teachers and school
officers. As rule, it has been the eX-
perience of county examiners and other
examining officers, that the most sue
cessful teachers are those who have
availed themselves of the normal in
struction offered by these local Insti-
tutes.
The daily sessions of the Institute for
this year will, as heretofore, be devoted
exclusively to topics of special interest
TO teachers, presented by persons of ex-
tended practical experience as teach
ers, and who have made a special study
of Institute work The evening lectures
will be of popular character.
The Institute law allows teachers,
whose schools are i'm session at the time
appointed for the County Institute,
held under the direction of the State
Superintendent, to close their schools
during the continuance of such 1nsti-
tute without FORGETTING their wages for
as many half days as they are in at
tendance at the Institute. This provis
ion of law, and the fact that there will
be no enrolment or tuition fee exacted,
should insure the attendance of every
teacher in The county who possesses the
true professional spirit.
Full particulars in regard to board,
etc, may be obtained upon application
to the local committee.
