In Towns About
Wellington
From the Daily Mail.

From the Daily Mail.
The Wellington Choral union will meet
next Monday evening for their first re-
hearsal this season. The organization
was musical success last year, and by
their success gained confidence. They
are this year ready to make an effort for
contest honors, and it is fully intended
by the leaders TO begin work at once
with the avowed intention entering the
state jubilee contest. There is no rtdsan
why such a musical organization cannot
carry off honors from such a contest.
County Attorney Rogers has given an
opinion to County Superintendent Nc
Laughlin on the question whether school
districts having written contracts with
school book publishers are required TO
adopt the new uniformity series. The
whole pith Of his opinion is contained in
the two following paragraphs:
All districts having written contracts
with publishing houses to use certain
books may at this time disregard the con
tract and adopt the books selected by the
text book commission, and in my opinion
the district Will not be liable othe pub
tract
''All districts having written contracts
with publishing houses to use certain
books for period not exceeding five
years are not required to adopt and use
the books selected by the school book
commission until the expiration Of the
contract"
We believe Mr.. Rogers has correctly in
terpreted the law. But it makes no prac-
1ical difference whether he is right or
wrong. School district boards and teach
ers have legal right to rely upon his
opinion, and should they, relying upon
this opinion, refuse TO adopt the uniform
ity series Of books, they could never be
prosecuted under the law for their fail
ure to GO so.

GOLD STANDARD FOR INDIA
Sale Of Bills OF Exchange Suspended, and
What That Means.

| London, Sept. 1.-The following notice
was posted on the Bank of England TO-
| Gay:
THE secretary OF state for India, In
| council, give notice that the sale Of bill;
| OF exchange on Calcutta, Bombay and
Madras has been suspended Cor a period
| of not less than ten weeks"
the government has very little money
| in India to draw on, owing to the fam
inc and the plague having rendered the
collection Of taxes slow. The present
| time may be opportune 10 accustom the
| Indians to the use of gold instead of sill
yer, though it could not have been at
tempted had not the scarcity of money
arisen.
The Daily Telegraph, anticipating the
action CT the Indian council, said today:
1.-THE council may refuse to draw alto
gether, thus sending exchange up TO the
gold point and render possible the estab-
lishment Of the gold standard in India"
The action OF the Indian council has
attracted but the slightest notice in the
afternoon newspapers and has not af-
fected the rate of exchange, which is
nominal.
The Westminster Gazette, commenting
on the subject says:
THE decision was altogether uneX-
pected, being the outcome Of the finan-
cial situation in India
The India council has suspended the
sale of bills of exchange on previous oc-
casions, notably in 1882 and 1893, but in
neither case was gold shipped to India.
The present suspension does not cause
surprise, it being occasioned by heavy
expenditures in connection with the
frontier troubles. 1t is probable that a
gold loan. for which the powers already
exist, will be issued in London in order
to rePlenish the Indian treasury. No
other important effect of the action TAX
en- by the council is expected, the gen.
eral belief being that little gold will be
RENTED to India
