The First Meeting of the Associa-
ton Under the New Name-Tha
Membership Now Restricted to
Ohio Valley From Liverpool to
Marietta-Those Present and the
Topics Discussed Last Night.

Last evening the initial meeting OF an
association of school superintenden;s,
known as the Conference of School SUI
perintendents of the Ohio Valley, was
held in the office of Supt. w. II. Ander-
son. The following gentlemen were pres

Marietta; James Duncan. of Bridgeport;
H. G.. Williams of Bellaire W. IL. Ander-
son, of Wheeling
The meeting last night was informal,
but interesting. The topics discussed
We're: Methods that hinder thinking on
the part of the pupil; Vertical writ
ing: Upon what basis should promotions
be nader OF the first subject some of
the reasons suggested why the pupil was
presented from thinking for himself were
that teachers were too willing to do the
pupils work. and that severe criticism Of
ten discourages the pupil from using his
mind freely. Points and ideas of interest
in regard to the other topics were also
brought out
Last night was the first meeting of the
superintendent under the name of the
Conference of School Superintendents of
the Ohio Valley. The superintendent OF
the Ohio valley formed an organization
about twelve or thirteen years ago. and
called their association the Superintend-
ents' Ohio Valley Round Table. This was
changed later TO the Eastern Ohio and
Western West Virginia Superintendents'
and Principals Round Table. The super
intendents and principals of a consider
able portion OF this State and as far west
as GAINESVILLE and Coshocton. in Ohio.
were then included as members The or
ganization then became too unwieldly and
1t was decided to restrict it to the vicin-
ity OF the Ohio Valley. from East Liver
pool to Marietta. The next meeting of tho
conference will be held here on February
18th.

if silver certificates would not be de-

taken by national bank notes, thus in

Mr.. Gage answered that it was easy
to conjecture up hypothetical ob1ec-
tions, but he did not look at this one as
serious. Any secretary of the treas

would Swap" them for greenbacks,
treasury notes and other forms OF de-
mand notes which served to drain gold
and thus build up the redemption fund.

Eastman was nervy throughout, and
while the severity of the sentence was

Ill olaN se.usouulA.h Tenn.), asked il the
result of the Gage bill eventually
would not lead to one kind of paper
money-bank notes-and no silver eX-
cept subsidiary silver.
There is nothing in the plan to
operate to that extent now: answered
the secretary. "It is in that direction,
and, with further legislation develop
ing it. it might ultimately lead to such
a result. But l would not say that
silver would be restricted to subsid-
larry silver. L would say system of
silver which would be subordinate. 1t
is subordinate now"
After this diversion to the silver
question, the consideration of the bill
by sections was resumed at section Z
where the discussion closed yesterday
This section provides for an increase
OF national bank note circulation to
be secured not by the deposit of bonds
or notes, but by the assets Of the bank
Gage referred to the advantage of this
additional unsecured circulation, in
giving an elasticity to the country at
points where it was most needed. He
showed from the returns of the comp
troller's Office how small a percentage
of loss came from national banks, and
urged that this unsecured circulation
would entail an inconsiderable obliga-
ton on the government, by reason of
its guaranty. and this would be over
come by the small tax on the banks,
constituting a safety fund.
In answer to questions by Mr.. New
lands, of Nevada, the Secretary said
that the amount Of refunding bonds
under the bill would reach $1,13S, 900,
000, if all of them were issued. These
being the basis for circulation, bank
notes could be issued to that amount.
Besides these the additional 25 per cent
of unsecured circulation would give q
further issue of bank notes of about
S300,000,00O But that vast issue was
merely the creation of a spectre, and
was not reality. The banks could not
get all the bonds and use them for is
suing bank notes. On the contrary,
government bonds are always taken
largely by private investors, trust COM
panies, insurance companies, and par
ties across the water. Any effort by
the banks to absorb all the bonds would
so affect the price as to defeat the OBJ
ject in view. And this also would
serve as a check to the expansion of
bank circulation.
Mr.. Newlands referred to "gold con-
tracts and asked the Secretary's view
Of them.
Mr.. Gage said he did not consider it
Desirable to interfere with private con-
tracts sof any character any more than
was necessary. To Mr.. Prince. of Illi-
nois. he explained that his expression
"sold and other legal money" used in
the bill meant 10 reflection on silver
or other classes Of money. The other
legal money included silver, and the
expression merely served to cover a
well understood term. The extent to

tary Gage resumed his exposition OF
his comprehensive currency bill before
the House committee on banking and
currency to-day. Chairman Walker
had left the city and Mr.. Brosins, OF
Pennsylvania, presided. Before the
bill proper was taken up some semi
political questions were asked. Mr..

bill was to commit the country to the
gold standard.
you are recognized as Republic
can," said Mr.. Hill, addressing the
secretary, land you are familiar with
the financial platform of the Republic
can national convention at ST. Louis.
Do you consider that this purpose or
more firmly fixing the gold standard on
the country conflicts with the princi-
pie Of the st. Louis PLATFORM"
mo, SIR" responded Mr.. Gage, mot
as l look at the principle of bimetal-
lism. Bimetallism must mean one OF
two things: either it is two kinds of
money of unequal value circulating
side by side by reason Of the exchange
of the less valuable for that of greater
value, or else two kinds of money of
such intrinsic quality of value that
they will circulate naturally side by
side. We have a bimetallic currency
in the United States now. The firm
establishment of the gold standard
with such interchangeability with sill
yer as will make it acceptable on an
equality with gold, will maintain this
bimetallism, the same as it has ex-
listed for the last eighteen years:1,
The secretary went on to state, that
this in no way prejudiced any steps
that might be taken to bring silver up
to a higher standard of value. The
bill, however, was designed to give
such confidence in the financial ability
of the government that the discrimin-

gies and make four or five turns at
the speed that horse was going with
out causing a wreck somewhere, and
| defy any other hackman in the city
to do it, said Joe Kalani of the l x l.
stand last night, as he gazed upon
his big black horse standing in one of
the Club Stables stalls, still harnessed
to the hack.
A few days ago kalani bought a
hack from MahOe and started driving
with a fine black horse. Three days
ago he put UP at the Club Stables,
knowing that to be first-class place,
where he would receive the worth OF
his money.
At about $50 last evening Kalani
tied his horse to a post at the corner OF
Hotel and Nuuanu streets and went
into a store on business. The animal
became frightened, pulled away and
left the lines and part of the bride
hanging to the post. Then he turned
over on Hotel street and up Fort. Rec
ognizing the entrance to the Club Sta
bles. he turned in on the run, passed
| between buggies, stalls and boxes,
with but two or three inches space
on either side of the wheels and went
| straight into the stall used by him fol-
| the past four nights. Nothing but an
| alarm clock was broken, and this
| probably received it's death-knell on
account of it's eccentric ringing while

of course, to find his hack demolished

Tuck Chew was dissatisfied with the
Judgment of the Circuit Court that the
Makee Sugar Company must pay him
S29,S44.20, decided in the August term
of the Court, and filed motion for
new trial His motion was based on
the ground that one of the jurors was
biased and prejudiced and incompetent
to sit; that there was newly-dlscov-
cred evidence Judge Carter considers
these grounds untenable. The opinion
of the Court is based on the ground OF
excessive damage alone, and the mo-
ton for new trial was granted yes
terday.
The Court states that the amount OF
the damages was based on the value
of the crop four years ago, ana as
there are seven and a half years for
the lease to run, the price of rice per
acre. on the land of which the PLAIN
tiff claims he was deprived by the de-
PENDANT, should not be calculated on
that basis, as the present worth OF
these annual profits is very much De-
low the amount allowed for prospec-
tive profits by the jury.
