Teachers Certificates.

ToFKxA. February 2-Senator Landis. who
is chairman Of the education committee in
the senate, introduced q bill in the upper
house which he thinks will raise the stand ,rd
of the qualification of teachers of the public
schools. The bill will provide that teachers
can hold third grade certificates for two
years only. THIS will maze it necessary for
the N to qualify themselves for second grade
certificates afteI two years, and Senator
lands thinks it will offer an incentive to
ambition. He says that third grade certin-
cate holdess arc too numerous, and b wants

Some Concerted Action.

SOm0 concerted ACtICn
BRocKToN, Mass, February There will
be an important gathering of populists in
Washington February %, at which the flu
ture of the party will be more clearly de-
fined thnn at any time since the movement
was inaugurated. There will be four organ
izations in session. and each will transact
business which will, it is thought, have an
important bearing upon the pOpulist party
movement in this country.
The bi-metalists on this occasion hold
their annual convention. and it will devote
it's whole time to the money question now
SO prominently before congress.
The national industrial alliance is an or
ganization which not only makes a feature
of the money problem but the economic
question such as are advocated by populists
everywhere.
The meeting of the reform press assccia-
ton, which includes over LOCO papers, will
decide upon some concerted action neces-
sary to bring about the final triumph of tho
populists.

CLEVELAND Is Pleased.

New YORK, February 7.-President-elecs
Cleveland spoke freely about the nonina-
ton of Howell E Jackson, judge Of tho
United States circuit court, rs the successor
of the late Justice Lamar. He said that it
would have been impossible to select q man
better fitted for this high Office and ex-
pressed his pleasure over the fact that bo
had thus been preferred. He alluded
pleasantly to his appreciation of the cornpli-
mont paid to a man who had been originally
appointed to the bench by himself. He was
pleased to know that tho bench would su6er
no injury from such an appointment and
that the president had such high regard
for the highest court.

Judge Jackson's Appointment.

Judge Jackson's Appointment
WASHINGTON, D. c., February at .
meeting of the senate judiciary committed
there was some opposition to tine nomins-
ton of Judge jackson to succeed Justice
Lamar, and the nomination went over un.
der the rules.
As far as can be learned the opposition
does not touch Judge Jackson's character OF
fitness, nor even his democracy, but is based
on an objection founded on principle, the
democrats having taken the petition that il
was not proper fol an outgoing president to
fill life places of such Importance. There il
no question that senators on both sides of
the chamber are deeply concerned over the
probability of the nomination of q republi
can circuit judge to succeed Judge Jackson,
the democrats being determined IN advance
to resist the installation of q republican on
the southern circuit. and the republicans
fearing that they will have q hard struggle
to confirm a nomination at this late stage OF
the session.
The matter will be forced to the front with
great promptness. If confirmation is &C.
cured promptly It is expected the president
will nominate Judge y. u. Bradley, of Ken
lucky, to succeed Judge Jackson as circuit
Judge.

THE STRIKERS GETTING UGLY.
Lehigh Passenger Train Stoned and a
Shifting Crew Assaulted

Wilkesbarre, Pa, November 26.-This
is the eighth day of the strike on the
Lehigh Valley railroad. The company
claims, and the claim is substantuated,
that mail and passenger trains are run
ming on schedule time. Last night and
early this morning great deal of freight
for the East moved out of the Coxton
yards, but little or no coal has been
transported. Superintendent Esser says
he has enough crews. to fill all the
vacancies tomorrow. At Sugar Notch,
three miles from Wilkesbarre, this after
noon, gang of men and boys made all
sorts of threats against the men at work
The most unru1y of the crowd threw
stones through the windows of the
station and compelled the OPERATOR to
flee This episode delayed the running
of trains quite a time. AT six o'clock
tonight two long freight trains were
signalled to stop at the Hazel street
crossing in this city. A large crowd Of
assembled at the crossing and when the
trains stopped the engineers, firemen and
crews were hooted at. No violence was
offered and the trains pulled out again in
safety. The company's officials notified
their attorney this afternoon that they
Will uOU 1OlcTtGo any lubcElefcuGS
upon the part of the strikers or those in
sympathy with them.
The strikers held large and enthu-
siastic meeting this afternoon. No deser-
tions were reported. Four non-union
men Joined the ranks Brotherhood men
from all over the country are pouring in
money to, the local treasury and the
strikers will be we'll provided for for the
next month. The strikers pickets re-
ported hat eighteen more engineers and
firemen will join the order tomorrow.
An attempt was made by an unruly
crowd this afternoon to drive a shifting
crew from an engine on one of the
Lehigh. valley branches, neal, the Hill
man vein breaker. Stones and clubs were
thrown at the crew. "A posse of deputy
sheriffs dispersed the crowd. At seven
tonight there was blockade of four
freight trains at South Wilkesbarre. All
the crews abandoned the engines. The
7.15 passenger train from the West was
stoned north of this city tonight.

THERE ARE TWO STEPHEN CUTTERS
One Got the Others Dividends lby Mis-
take and Has Been Arrested.

Woburn, Mass, Novembe a6. Stephen
H. Cutter of this city, was arrested yes
terday charged with forgery. Last
August he received draft from the
First National bank of Chelsea, Vermont,
for S247.75, accompanied by circular
letter stating that this was dividend on
five shares of stock standing in his name
on the books of the bank. Mr.. Cutter
had bought no stock of the Chelsea
bank, but he thoughtit might have been
taken for him byan aunt of his in New
Hampshire. He consulted counsel who
went with him to the Exchange bank in
Boston, and told the story to the presi-
dent. The latter thought the money in
tended for Mr.. Cutter and the draft was
paid. Later two more drafts for divi-
dends came to Mr.. Cutter and he collected
them. The owner of the shares was
another Stephen Fl Cutter, who resides
in Winchester. Not hearing from the
bank which he knew was winding up it's
affairs, he wrote the officials inquiring
as to his dividends. An official of the
Chelsea bank, with a lawyer, came to
Woburn and caused the arrest of Mr.
Cutter. Mr.. Cutter restored all but S140
and the case was continued to December
5, he being released on $500 bail.
1t is hardly believed a charge of forgery
can be sustained. 1t is unde-s 5ood that
if Mr.. Cutter restores the balance of the
money he received, the case will not be
pushed.

Maine Postma asters,
cARNo7 THE POLITICIAN.
How He Hoped to Put Rival Out of the
Presidential Race.

Paris, Novem ber 26-France is enjoy
ing a cabinet crisis. Yesterday, ex-
Minister Goblet in the Chamber of Depu.
ties, made a fierce assault on the govern
ment's policy, hoping to GUST Prime
Minister Dupuy and get the position
himself. He insisted upon the necessity
for a radical progressive policy, declaring
that the Radicals were not responsible
for the incessant ministerial weakness.
The Russian alliance, he said, was less
due to French diplom acy than to the
Czar's personal efforts. The fetes attend
ing the reception of the Russian visitors
were not in response to the government,
but to an outburst of national sentiment
developed by the Radical programme.
He repudiated the ideas advanced by M.
Jaurez, the Socialist.
After an exciting session of the cham
ber the ministry resigned. Today, Presi-
dent Carnot conferred with NJ. C asimir
Perier, president of the chamb ber, and offer
ed him the premiership. He refused to
accept the offer recommending NJ. Dupuy.
Eventually M. Carnot sent for M Dupuy,
but his invitation was curtly declined.
AT 2. 80. M. Meline, the French Mckinley,
went to the Presient in response to a
summons for an interview He was
requested to form a cabinet, but would
not consider the matter At the present
juncture, he said, N. Dupuy was the
only possible premier. Later in the
afternoon M. Casimir Perier called upon
M. Dupuy and besought him to form a
new cabinet, but Dupuy persisted in his
refusal. The presidents offer of the
premiership to NJ. Cassimir Perier is re-
garded as political trap, as the presi-
dent of the chamber is known to have
hopes of securing the presidency of the
republic next year. 1t is reasonably
certain ministry formed now will fail
is always out of the race for the presi-
dency. Carnot's idea, it is said, was to
make Casimir Perier the victim of this
course of events.

yards brought the police and citizens to
the scene. They found the first section
of the Chicago and New York fast meat
freight in the yards and badly battered
up train crew. 1t was learned from the
crew that about mile from Elkhart,
Conductor Hickok and two brakemen
were attacked by eight burly tramps,
who had boarded the train at Elkhart
and had been concealed between the
cars. They overpowered the ere W, and
were proceeding to disconnect the last
ten cars when the crew, assisted by the
engineer and fireman, again secured con-
troll Of the train. A second attempt was
made five miles further on, and from
that point into Goshen, four miles, des-
perate fight was waged between the
eight trampsN and the crew. The tramps
endeavored to leave eight or ten cars of
the train on the track, into which, it
was expected, the New York fast ex-
press, following close after, would dash.
In the consequent wreck, it is surmised,
the wreckers expected to get away with
considerable booty frem the express car.
The tramps were frustrated in their de-
sign by Conductor Hickok. who was
badly bruised and pumaelled, as was
one of the brakemen. The robbers Sc
cured four watches and all the money
belonging to the crew. When the train
arrived in the Goshen yards, the robbers
escaped, but two were subsequently, cap
tured, and the sheriff and posse are In
hot pursuit of the others. A reward of
$4,000 will be offered for the arrest and
conviction of the eight robbers.
