DOVER, Feb For some unaccounta
BILE reason the Higgins men appear to be
unusually well pleased his week but
when asked about It, they say that there
ia no change in the situation. Still.
there is an atmosphere which indicates
that something is going on behind the
scenes which is wonderfully pleasing
TO the friends OF the senator. Even he
seems to be Ia the best OF spirits

Not Behind Previous Years.
In the volume OF business IN hand at
this date The present House Is ahead OF
the houses OF the last two sessions On
February 1891 the number OF bills on
the House calendar was "a two years ago
1t WAS 20, aud now 1t Is 70.
Against Liosnss Legisiatlon.
About seventy retail liquor dealers and
brewers of Wilmington arrived in town
last evening and put up at the BAyard
House After supper they went out in
small groups to work among the members
against the local option and high license
bills and all kindr legislation They
| will have a hearing before the House
t committee to day.
The Mustard Bill Is Coming.
Representative Mustard will INTRODUCES
l to-day his bin to equalize taxation. He
, ! refuses to divulge It's contents. and John
f. salisbury, who has the rough draft
in his pocket, Is equally reticent There
is no likelihood that 1t will pass, as It is
drawn on the lines OF the Fulton bill OF
/, two years ago, which proposed to ta1
stocks. bonds, mortgages and all interest
, bearing securities.
n 1t Is Not the Case.
It has transpired that some persons
q have the impression that the whole
body of teachers, regardless Of thell
/ experience In teaching, are to be com
L PEELED by Law to attend the school o.
Q methods before receiving their mex
Q certificate. This Is not the case. Tn,
J bill leaves It optional with these teacherI
}, as TO whether they shall attend or not
q The aim OF the bill Is to begin the train
8 ing on that portion OF pupils who ar
Q now in school and who expect to TAX
{ their 6rst school next Fall.
= The promoters Of the bill feel that th
s present plan Of training In the new
b teachers at the expense of the distric
o and to the irfepsrable injury OF thl
|, pupil is too costly to be continued
< longer. With free instruction to thl
# teachers their necessary expenses neeC
o not exceed $l2 or $l5 during the session
II It's promoters say that while 1t would b
8 maniiestly wrong to exact unnecesHar,
reqw irements ofltA tea cAers, new arEhaAes
lie the fact should not be lost sight Of tha
lie the school was created for the pup
y rather than for the teacher.
