The County Institute bill, framed
by State Superintendent Wolfe, is ex-
citing considerable discussion. We
have not the full text of the bill before
us, but. from a synopsis of it, we
we judge it to be entirely democratic
measure. 1t brings the Normal School
to our doors, and every school district
in the State will be directly benefited
by it. Hundreds of schoolteacners
are not able to attend the nstitu tons
benefits they confer are, to great ex-
tent, confined to the locality in which
they are situated. If it is right and
proper for the State to expend mil
lions of dollars for the education gifts
children, considerations of economy
would seem to dictate that every
means should be taken to make it as
effective as possible. The public
school system of this State, as it now
is, can scarcely be called system.
One teacher succeeds another starting
de noUo, without regard to the work
of his predecessor; and, indeed, there
is no record of that work that he can
refer to. He must ascertain, as best
he can, the standing OF his pupils, I'M
assisted by anything to guide him.
Very often the teacher has no special
training for his calling. Under such
conditions, it is matter of surprise
that our school system is as successful
rs it is. Prof. Wolfe, on assuming of
flee has set about bringing order out
of this chaos, with zeal and energy
worthy of the cause. Knowing that
the people of the State will never toll
crate the making of a label from our
State Normal Schools a condition pre-
cedent to teaching, he seeks in the
proposed legislation to create train
ing school in each county, to continue
for at least one month. AT the end
of that time, those who are worthy
will be licensed to teach by board of
county ms titute examiners and con-
ductors. There will be three grades
of county certificates-those who OBJ
tain the third grade not b ing required
to pass any farther examination while
teaching in that county. The bill also
provides for three grades of state GER
tificates, to be issued by a district
board of examiners, thus affording
teachers, at little expense, an oppor-
tunity to successfully obtain the three
grades of county certificates and the
three grades of state certificates.
These schools are to be distinctively
training schools, established for the
purpose of securing preparatory train
ing for the teacher, without which he
cannot take his place in the school
room. If this bill becomes law, it
will, in time, wholly supplant that
entirely unnecessary evil, the State
Normal School, from whose lobby
much of the opposition to it will prob
ably come. If we are to have public
schools, and if it is right that the
State should engage in the business OF
training teachers, let US adopt a sys-
tenn the benefits of which will reach
every district in the State. This is
not only good sense, but good Democ-

1t certainly seems that when an ex-
traordinary crank is found he is sent to
the Legislature to introduce laws for
the benefit of the ''poor man." We
have in mind the bill noticed by our
Jefferson City correspondent last
week, giving t man whose land is
sold under deed of trust, year
wherein to redeem his property.
Would such law operate to the BEN
eft of the borrower? Not bit of it,
but would only lessen his security
and make it that much harder for
him to get money whenever he might
need it. This is too plain principle
to need enunciation and is surely ap
parent to all.

the people be taken upon the propos-
ed law, they, would be found to be
overwhelmingly in its favor. 1t is
gratuitous assumption to say that
laws published in the country press
would not be read. The country pa
per is not unfrequently the only pa
per taken by families who live in the
country; this is the case in the major
ity of instances, and its columns are
read and re-read, advertisements and
all. When discussion arises on any
matter of legislation, as, for instance,
passenger rates, the files of the county
paper would be consulted with eager
ness. 1t is just and right that the
laws of the State, as well as the acts
of her public servants, should be CIV
en- as wide publicity as possible. The
manner and mode of giving that pub
licity is open to discussion, but not
the good of the thing itself.

The employees of the Cambria iron works
at Johnstown, which IN number run into the
thousands, have been notified that their
wages will he reduced 10 per cent. The
friends Of the Mckinley bill have all along
protested that it will be liked the better as
people become better acquainted with 1t; but
IL this is the sort of acquaintance with it that
the workmen of the Cambria works are 60
ing to have, it is not likely that it will become
the object of their love and admiration
Belfonte (Pa.) Democratic Waterman.
1t does no good to call the attention
of protectionists to facts like the above.
1t only makes them so mad that they
hunt new swear words to heap upon
the Democratic party. Yet it is fact
that almost the sole argument of pro-
tectionists was and is that protection
enables the manufacturer to give his
employees good wages. When protec-
ton was first mooted, the manufact-
urer was to derive no special benefit
from it. 1t was all for the comfort and
happiness of the poor, down trodden,
oppressed workingman. But, after
the protection he demanded was grant
ed to him by the Mckinley bill, ia
stead of wages being raised, reduc-
tions have taken place right along,
and the pauper laborer is being i'm
ported as gleefully as ever.

In it's fight against Ingalls,, the ca
pacity of the Alliance to hold together
was tested to the utmost. Every
means known to the practical politi-
clan was used to break it's ranks,
without avail. 1t was a victory of
which the Alliance and the whole
country may well be proud, for it was
achieved over one of the finest of the
fine-workers of this country. 1t en-
phasized the fact that the attention of
our people has been turned from the
contemplation of our National Night
mare-the civil war-to issues of the
living present, and the ghouls who
have fattened on the sectional hate it
engenerated must look elsewhere for
sustenance. Of course stupendous
efforts will be made by politicians who
eng ge in politics as business, to set
it hunting after every mirage that
comes above our political horizon, that
its strength may be dissipted and the
organization be eliminated as factor
in politics; for it disturbs their calcu-
lation. But if it will let Tariff re-
duction" be its pilIar-of-cloud by day,
"Free Coinage of Silver and the utter
destruction of the National banks" be
its pillar-of fire by night, and the
lifting of the hand of the millionaire
from the arteries of commerce be its
ark of the covenant, it will reach the
Promised Land in safety, despite the
Phillistines. A few short, clear-cut
planks in platform are better than a
platform with enough planks to break
the stills.
