Pension Matters Considered and the
Service Bill Insisted Upon.
WASHINGTON CITY, June &c ntrary
to expectation the matter of pensions
came up in the Republican caucus in the
house last night. The difference bstween
the senate and house is that the former
favors dependent bill and the latter a
service bill, and the conferrees have been
unable to agree. After long discussion
the caucus agreed that the house confer
rees should insist on the retention of the
amendments made by the house, aud also
that further amendment should be- made
providing that no pension shall De less
than 50 per month.
Two other Bills Postponed
The McComas bill to prevent by states
the gerrymandering of election districts
was then taken up, and McComls and
others addressed the house on it. No con-
clusion was reached, and it was agreed to
allow the bill to await the action of an
other caucus. 1t had been intended to
take some action on the national election
bill, but after Lodge of Massachusetts and
RoweI of Illinois had explained The pro-
visions of the bills ON the subject p prepared
by them respectively, it was decide d to let
the matter go over until next Thursday
evening, when another caucus will be held.

rar pIocnE CONSOLIDATED.

The Phoebe Consolidated Mining Com.
pany deserves credit for the energy with
which its work has thus far been carried
forward in the Raymond & Ely mine.
True the company has been fortunate in
many respects, as the expense OF reaching
the bottom of the Deep Wine, which
had frequently been estimated at a
quarter of million of dollars, has prob.
ably beenless than half that sum.
But what we admire is the energy
with which the work has been
pushed. The great storm which has
made i. almost impossible to obtain
fuel, increasing the price from five dollars
per cord for dry wood to six dollars for
green, by weight practically about the
same as paying twelve dollars per cord
for dry wood has interfef 1 With the
work only until the debris of surface
cave could be cleaned away, and the COM
pany has gone on, apparently inthe face Of
fate, fighting the elements themselves.
Now, that the storm has seemingly spent
its force the company emerges from the
battle triumphant, and ready to go ahead
with prospecting. This has commenced;
and the results are thus far full Of pro.
mise. Intelligent work in this line, which
can now be done at comparatively small
expense will show what are the contents of
the lower depths of the fissure, the upper
workings Of which produced an amount
of silver and gold which, even in these
days of wonderful mining developments,
seems almost fabulous. 1t is reasonable
to suppose that the lower portions of
this fissure contain many millions more
of precious metals. That the Phoebe Con-
solidated Company may get them, is the
wish Of the RECORD.

JONES ON DECK.

We don't hear every day about United
States Senator Jones of Nevada, Unlike
that other Jones, of Florida, he does
nothing purely sensational to keep his
name before the public. He goes along
the even tenor Of his way, making friends
by his pleasant manner, and gathering
weight with his fellow senators by his
sound judgment on matters of national
import. Yet we do hear of John P. Jones
once in while; and when we hear of
him it is usually in connection with some
thing worth attention. That is the case
Just now. He has introduced silver
bill. This is not the only silver bill
introduced lately in Congress, nor do we
know that it is, theoretically, the best
silver bill yet introduced, in fact we
know little of its contents thus far, the

change of teachers is the fault of the dis
nor the law is responsible. Mr.. Hassel-
tine is, we believe, an industrious man,
and probably devotes as much time as he
can to each district and get around even
once year. If one supervisor is not ad-
equate, an assistant supervisor could be
secured for the county, if the people
chose to pay for his services and should
request their representatives to have the
law so amended. The matters of text
books will regulate themselves presently,
no doubt; and the next board of educa-
ton will provide against the bitches men
toned, neither of which could well have
been foreseen. The board quite likely
thought that if publishers were afforded
a chance to sell their books they would
have them on hand promptly, aud they
were justified in so thinking.
In discussing the law and its results, it
should be borne in mind that it has been
in operation only a little more than Il
year; so that its benefits cannot fairly
be expected to appear at this time. Its
defects, of course, manifest themselves
at once. And that it has defects none
more readily admit than the friends of
the law. These can he corrected as they
are discovered, but that a majority of
thinking people now wish to repeal the
whole law is hardly supposable.

The supervisor may uut be To- blaine for

term brings new teacher, how is it pos
sibe for llm to judge of the efficiency of
those teachers to whom lle has granted a
certificate, when he has visited said
schools only once during the year, and
then for only an hour?
The law says the old books must not
be used after July |, 1890; but it does
not provide for any delinquency ON the
part of the publishers to provide suf-
ficent number of new ones. Such is now
the situation. Many schools are without
books and teachers are trying to fill the
hours of study with map drawing and
oral instruction. mo new SrammarS
teach an entirely different method of di-
agramming sentence, and both teachers
and scholars are disciples, and in five
years they will be prepared to learn an
other system, should the new books
teach one. Booksellers do not make the
allowance for old books as published in
the official report of the board of educa-
ton for Addison county; and, although
they acknowledge they go into the man
ufacture of paper, they must be entire
and nearly as good as new or are reject

which our correspondent points out are
not properly chargeable to the law itself,
but to its administration. The frequent
