night:

THE SENATOR INTERVIEWED.
PITTsBURG, July l9.-In an interview
to-day Mr.. Quay said regarding the rumor
that he would retire from the chairman
ship OF the Republican National Commit
tee: ''The time is approaching when
work for the campaign of 1892 should be
commenced. don't want TO take charge
of that work. Still, / don't say positively
/ will resign from the Craftsmanship of
the committee. 1t was my intention to
retire Immediately after Harrison's cleo
ton, but circumstances well known to
my colleagues on the committee pre-
vented. My desire is to get out of place
encountered with so many duties. They
? never abated, and the time now comes
when 1 feel at liberty to do so. The COM
ing campaign has the forecast of being an
educational one, and think will be con-
Quoted with vigor by both parties. The
man who manages the preliminary work
as Chairman of the Executive Committee
should be in position now and hence
forth to largely devote his time to its
duties"
Regarding his probable successor in
case he resigns Senator Quay said that
while to his knowledge no letters have
been sent to the members of the commit
tee asking to have General Clarkson sue
ceed him, it was generally conceded that
Mr.. Clarkson would be chosen. He was
well fitted for the position, but the Sena-
tor didn't know what action the commit
tee would take.
Being asked his opinion of the national
outlook, Senator Quay said:
Its too far ahead to say much about
it. / have no doubt that if Mr.. Blaine is
a candidate he will receive the Republi-

In n Pound of Tea.

A man who argues that one pound OF
tea makes four hundred small or three
hundred ordinary-sized cups states his
case as follows: Tea testers ordinarily
use silver tive-cent piece for weighing
the exact quantity required for cup.
AS there are about twenty-five five-cent
pieces to an ounce, and as there are
sixteen ounces to n pound, it follows
that one pound of tea will actually
make four hundred cups, according to
the standard of strength ordinarily re-
quired by professional testers. The
cups used for this purpose contain,
however, one-fourth less than the aver
age domestic. teacups 1t will, there

Hard on the Duclxa.

A singular story Comes from Green
point, N. Y. A large mansion in the
vicinity took fire, which originated in
the main chimney, and the flames were
spreading rapidly. A young man ran
to the duck pen and secured number
of the largest fowls. Then he took a
ladder, and mounting to the top of the
house went to the chimney, from which
flames and smokes were pouring, and
dropped the ducks one after another
into the fiery shaft. This had the effect
of checking the flames and the fire was
subdued.

AN ADVENTURE ON THE CANOES
The Wrath or b Sleeper Whose Slumber
Had Been Disturbed.


Had Been Disturbed.
On sailing up the Ganges, says
writer in the Globe-Democrat, my boat
happened to be moored by the side of
large budgerow "a Bengal pleasure
boat) in which somewhat choleric
gentleman was, as l conceived, at rest;
all his boatmen and servants, to the
number, dare say, of twenty-five or
thirty, were sleeping, rolled in their
white shawls, upon the roof of the
apartment in which he was lying, which
rose like poop above the deck. It was
beautiful night, and in the neighbor-
hood of Colgong, one of the most ro-
mantle parts of the river.
1 was seated on the deck, although it
was past midnight, enjoying the scene,
when my contemplations were disturbed
by an unusual spiashing in the water.
On turning in the direction of the noise
I saw the unfortunate men leaping and
tumbling into the river from the boat
of my passionate neighbour, who was
standing like a mailman on the deck
brandiShing a stick over their heads.
Never shall 1 forget the scene. The
moon lit up his bald head, for he had
thrown his nightcap at one of the
people in a rage at not being able to
reach him with his stick. The boat
men, who are always expert swim
mers and did not seem to lose their
presence of mind by the sudden transi-
ton, very soon reached the shore and

soon relieved from my suspense, how
ever. The victor strutted two or three
times over the deserted field, then turn
ing toward the routed enemy, who
seemed to rally on the banks, shook his
stick ut them and cried out in Hindo-
stance:
'Ill teach you to snore, you scoun-
drels!"
This lutlicrouS explanation of the
whole mystery affected the crew as it
did myself, and a loud laugh was the
reply. So eXtravagant a punishment

REDUCTION OF SALARIES,

Under date of FEBRUARY ID, Senator
Sproule writes to his paper. the Free
Press, as follows:
"In the Senate the Elko county
delegation introduced bill reducing
the salaries of the officers OF that
county, and abolishipg the Office of
the Supt. of Schools. The bill is to
take effect the LIST Monday in Janu-
airy, 1892, and will save tho Taxpayers
Of Elko county s9,OOOa year. After
that date the following salaries are to
he paid: Sheriff, 5000; Deputy
Sheriff, $500 and he is TO act as
jallor without extra compensation;
Recorder and Auditor, $1,000; Assess
or, S2,400; Treasurer, $1,000; Clerk,
$500; District Attorney, $3.50,
and he shall act as Super
intendent of Schools without COM
p3nsation; County Commissioners $500
each and mileage. The bill was re-
fered to Judiciary Committee. 1t will
pass both Houses as the Bill was sub
united to all the Elko members be-
fore being introduced"
While the INDEPENDENT is in favor
OF q reduction Of salaries an | conse-
quent curtailment of expenses, it is
opposed to the above bill for two
reasons: First, the adjustment of
the office Of County Superintendent
of Schools is certainly measure cal
culated to cripple the efficiency of our
public schools, which, above all else,
should be fostered by every means
which will conduce to the proper
education of our children. Retrench-
ment is all we'll enough, and is strict
ly necessary; but when it comes to
curtailing expenses at the expense of
the educational interests of Elku
county, the INDEPENDENT enters q
solemn protest. Second, the present
county officers were elected under a
fixed salary; and in our Judgment the
county should keep faith with heI
servants by paying the salaries agreed
upon in their election. We do not
believe it would be proper thing for
my individual or corporation to am
pioy men at fixed salary for a speci
fled period, and at the expiration of
half the term for which they were
employed to deliberately inform then
that their salaries would be reduced
We look at the election of officers il
the same light.
II the Legislature will pass tn,
proposed Act to take effect at the ex
plration OF the term for which tn,
present incumbents were elected, W,
snall favor it, with the exception O
that portion which provides for tn,
aoolishment Of the office of Count,
Superintendent of Schools, and tina
clause we shall oppose "now, hence
forth and forever" We are in favo
of the resolution adopted by the las
Democratic Convention which favor
the payment OF salary of 500
month to the Superintendent Q
Schools, believing as we do that tn
success of our public schools depend
largely on intelligent and efficien
supervision; and no man, we care no
woo he may be, will devote his tim
and talent to the proper management
fanny public business without CON
pensation.

How Trustees May Reduce the Cost OF School
Books.

How Trustees May Reduce the Cost or school
Books.
Editor Statesman:
The books adopted by the trustees
may he procured through the local
dealers. This plan does not OF neces-
sity reduce the expense or remove Cb-
lection on the part OF those who
change residence. The trustees may
contract with the publishers or deal
ers for the books on the best terms
possible.
They can then sell them to the
pupils at cost rent them to the pupils
or loan them to the pupils; that is
make the books free.
Experience proves that the cost Is
greatly reduced when the books are
supplied by the trustees in any of the
above named ways.
In st. Louis the pupils are supplied
by the trustees at cost. For the year
ending June 1890, the books cost the
children of St. Louis 81 cts a piece,
not including the High and Normal
schools.
Therenting of books under proper
regulation and restriction for what
would keep up the supply would be
cheaper than selling the books at
cost from the fact that one book
would pass through more hands.
The most satisfactory plan Of all is
to supply the books free, just as the
teachers, the school houses, the furni-
ture, and other supplies are provided.
This plan puts the rich and poor upon
the same plane and removes all OBJ
lection except such as may be urged
against free schools in general
The poor cannot complain OF the ex
pense. those who move from place tC
place cannot complain. 1t is true the
taxes will have to be little more Oh
the school term will have to be
shortened but the books will cost the
community less. This plan would
not be adopted except where there is
local taxation. In other words, the
books would be purchased with money
raised by local taxation. Should not
any city or district be permitted to
supply their own books if they are
wiling to pay for them out OF the
money they raise from local taxes?
Even if we had state adoption, any
city or district that does not want tc
use one or more of the books adopted
by the state may be permitted to fur
nish such books free to the pupils
without in any way conflicting with
the law providing for state adoption
