The House Commerce Committee has
Considered the bill of Mr.. Mccormick of
Kew York for the construction of Pacific

Chairman Hepburn laid before his associ-
ates a letter received from the president and
vice president of the cable company of New
York.
1t stated that upon the expiration Of
twenty years all government messages shall
be transmitted for one-qnarter OF the rate
which snail be charged for ordinary mes
sages; that the company shall fix the maxi
mum rate on all messages between the Uni
ted States and Japan at not TO exceed $3.50
a word, and between the United States and
the Island of Oahu 7 5 cents word; that the
company shall within thirty days after the
approval OF the bill deposit with the secro-
tary of the Treasury 100000 in govern
ment bonds. which shall be forfeited in case
the company fails TO complete the cable as
stipulated. and finally that the company
will proceed with the establishment OF the
cable between the United States and Pearl
River Harbor upon receiving authority TO
do SO.
The bill is in charge of Mr.. Bennett of
New York, who will see Secretary Olney
this afternoon with relation to the effect
upon this government of landing the cable
on the Marshal Islands, in the South Pa
cific, these islands being owned by Ger
many.
The discussion IN the committee yes
terday developed sentiment favorable
to the proposed cable, provided the com
mIttee shall see that all the privileges de-
sired by the United States government are
granted

Ex Gov. Campbell, Of Ohio, de-
sires the democratic party to com
promise" on the silver question in
order to carry the presidential cleo
ton. He proposes that this coun-
try give notice that after three
years it will open its mints to the
free and unlimited coinage Of silver
and he declares that if this notice
was given the European nations
would tumble over each other in
their efforts to enter into an inter-
national agreement. He advises
the democracy to make this origi-
nal proposition their doctrine in
the coming campaign BY making a
platform out Of it at Chicago con
vSention.

This article will deal entirely
with the childrens' surroundings
at school. All ofus are unavoidably
influenced by our surroundings at
all times and everywhere, and as
children are more impressible than
older people, how important that
good influences Of all kinds should
encircle them. Too many directors
and teachers are utterly unconcern-
ed as to the appearance aud condi-
tion Of the school premises and
many an outhouse is a disgrace to
those concerned. If the directors
are Indifferent about it any good
and progressive teacher can get the
pupils to assist in cleaning and fix
ing up the school yard. During
the noontimes Of a single week or
less, by grading, trimming, repair
ing and otherwise the Surroundings
of many school could be made
doubly convenient and attractive.
Now let us step inside the school
room. Is the stove rusty or in a
tumbledown condition; are any of
the window panes out or dirty; are
some of the desks out of repair or
inconvenietly arranged; are the
school maps stacked in the corner
or hung in a slovenly manner on
the walls; is the floor dirty and are
the children allowed to spit on it.
Ifany one of these or similar inn
proper conditions exist, the teacher
is to blame for it, because it is his
duty to have things in different
shape. Cheap curtains, pleasingly
arranged, pictures, flowers or other
ornamental things could be easily
obtained and would add greatly to
the pleasantness of the room. The
insides of some school rooms are as
forbidding as a jail and the teacher
nearly always cross and disagree
able. No wonder the pupils hate
such a school and would prefer to
be anywhere else Even the mod
est log cabin can be made attrac-
tive inside and SO can any school
room. Many child coming from
a cheerless home loves his school
because it is made pleasant place
for him.

Boston Transcript. There is a
giant ten and a half feet high in
the country above Canton in Chi
ma, and an American Snowman has
lately been trying in vain to in
.duce him to travel. The big fellow
is ashamed Of himself for being 50
unduly long, and does not care to
become an exhibit. A seven-foot
gisaat is considered a good deal Of a
fellow, and they have been few and
hard to find on this mundane
sphere.
