SOME OF THE CHIEF FEATURES.

other Provides For Less Capital 60
Start National Banks.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S.--The general
currency bill prepared by the Republi-
can caucus committee appointed by the
last congress received its final revision
at the hands of the members. The
measure represents the unanimous con-
clusions of the committee and will be
called up for consideration at the eau.
Gus of the Republican members of the
house, which is to be held probably
next Saturday. Accompanying the bill
is report setting forth at length the
reasons and necessity which in the
opinion of the committee exist for the
proposed legislation. A local paper
printed the following as some of the
chief features of the bill, which in the
main are probably accurate:
"An amendment to the coinage laws,
making 2558 grains of gold, 900 parts
fine, the standard gold measure.
IAN amendment to the greenback re.
issue act of 1878, providing that those
treasury notes shall be redeemed with
gold, and when SO redeemed, shall
not be reissued except in exchange fol
gold. This provision will prevent the
operation of the endless chain which
hitherto has been the means to raid the
gold reserve.
"An amendment to the specie resump,
tion act directing the maintenance of a
| gold reserve on less than l00,000,000,
the maintenance Of the reserve at thai
figure now being entirely discretionary
with the secretary of the treasury.
"An amendment to the national bank

TO INSPECT
COUNTY OFFICIALS
In the Same Manner as Govern
ment Employees.
PURpoRT OF A NEW LAW
which win BE Proposed to the Next
Legislature old system of Occa-
sionai kxaminatlon Unsuited
to Present Need.

Investigation of county offices, county
officials and the administration OF the
former by the latter, has in the past
two wears become a fad in Ohio, and
If is one of the few fads that has re-
suited advantageously to the man who
works and earns his money and pays
the taxes to keep the county and state
machinery in running order. All over
the state and in county after county
investigating committees have been at
work and the almost universal result
has been the unearthing of fraudulent,
and illegal overcharges running into
thousands upon thousands of dollars.
Suits are being brought daily to re-
cover from delinquent officials and their
bondsmen and, in many counties, re-
covery has already resulted. These in
vestigations have been under. the law
by which the investigating committee
is appointed by the probate judge,
either on his own motion or on petit
ton Of taxpayers The law is all right
in it's spirit but had become almost
dormant until the recent fad of in
vestigation began. The revelations or
overcharges and delinquencies which
have been made have convinced all who
have examined the question that some
SIrlCIer SYSTEM Ol SSplOh1SS Oh
county officials should be established.
To remedy the defect bill will be
presented to the coming legislature
which will provide for placing county
officials under system of inspection
similar to that in vogue in the revenue,
postal and national banking systems
under control of the federal govern
ment.
1t is claimed that in almost every
county where examinations have been
made under the present system short
ages and delinquencies of from forty to
sixty thousand dollars have been dis
covered. These shortages have arisen
simply because there was no system
of inspection to regulate charges and
fees. In many instances suits have
been brought against officials for re-
covery where there was no. the slight
est suspicion of fraudulent dealing or
intent but where the official lad been
led into overcharging by following the
example Of his predecessor, wi hout
even an examination of the legal le yu-
lations governing. 1t is claimed, and
reasonably so, that system of inspec-
ton, such as the new law will provide
for, will correct absolute crookedness
and will prevent the negligence and
carelessness which has so often finally
resulted in default.
1t is proposed that the governor ap-
point inspectors with duties similar to
those of bank inspectors, who come
unannounced at any time, and for
whose coming the banks have always t9
be prepared with a statement satisfac-
tory to the government. Such a system
of inspection would keep every county
official on the alert to avoid any ap-
pearance of Irregularities and would
undoubtedly revert to the benefit of the
taxpayers.
The plan proposed has already been
adopted and found to work admirably
in Pennsylvania.

SOME NEW PLANS

Special to News-Democrat.


New York. Nov. 2S.-It has been re-
ported in Wall street for some time
and partially confirmed by interests
identified with the company, that the
committee of directors of the United
States Leather company has decided
not to give out any information in re-
gard to the number of assents received
to the plans for REIMBURSEMENT of the
capital of the company. 1t will
probably report to the board Of direc-
tors at the regular meeting, which may
then decide whether to make the re-
port public or not. According to
rumors in the leather trade, certain in
terests representing large amount
of the preferred stock have in view an
other plan for the REIMBURSEMENT Of the
company's finances, which will soon
be placed before the stock holders.

LIFE TEACHERS CERTIFICATES
Discussed by Several Prominent Educa-
tors Yesterday.

There was a matter of public interest
before the Senate Education committee
Tuesday afternoon.
The charter of the State Normal and
Industrial College, granted in 1881,
makes a diploma from that institution
a Life License to teach in public schools
Of the State without further eXamina-
tiGn by county supervisors. The Gene
raj Assembly Of 1897 passed an act Civ
ing the same exemption from eXamina-
tiCn to the graduates of the Normal
and Collegiate Institute, at Asheyille, an
institution under the control of the
Northern Presbyterian church.
A bin was introduced to repeal the
act of 1897 relating to the Asheyille in
stitution and in the committee an
amendment was offered repeating that
part Of the charter of the State Normal
and Industrial College which makes its
diploma a life license to teach.
Before reporting the bill to the Senate
DR.. Lawrence, president of the Ashe-
vile institution. and President McIyer,
Of the State Normal, were invited to APP
pear before the committee.
DR.. Lawrence spoke first, showing
the character of the work being done
ty his institution. The board of the
Northern Presbyterian church has eX-
pended about $225,000 in benevolent
educational institutions, principally in
Buncombe county, ana a great deal of
charity work is being done. Last year
this board spent more than $4,000 in
maintaining these institutions. Dr. Law
renee said that the exemption was asked
because of the thorough technical and
pTo'e. sional training given by his insti-
tuition, and that he hoped the Legislature
would not withdraw the privilege grant
cd to his graduates.
Judge Avery made short speech COM
mending the work of DIR. Lawrence, and
also that of the States institution at
Greensboro.
DR. McIver then addressed the COM
mittee against the amendment including
the college of which he is president. In
his address he brought out the following
facts: The State Normal and Industrial
College was established by the General
Assembly of 1891 at the urgent request
Of tGe teaching profession, and its chief
work was to give to young women such
education as shall fit them for teaching"
Its board of directors is appointed by
the State Board of Education and con
firmed by the Senate.
The State Superintendent of Public

Instruction is eX-oftciO president of the
board of directors and must sign each
diploma of the college. The institution
reports its course Of study to each ses-
SIGN Of the Legislature and is visited by
a committee Of inspection. 1t is entirely
n the control Of the representatives Of
the State, and its course OF study Is the
hest the States agents can devise for
preparing its young women for the I'M
pOrtant work of teaching. 1t must meet
the approval of the State Superintendent
who is the head Of the public school syS-
TEN. and it would seem unnecessary to
require the additional endorsement of
county supervisor, a subordinate Of the
State Superintendent, and subordinate.
too. who is not always a teacher him
self
During the past six years the Normal
and Industrial College has had about
1900 matriculates. OF the LOGO only
11S have received the college diploma
All students before receiving the di-
ploma must, for n year, spend part
of each day in teaching under the SUI
pervsion and kindly criticism of expert
teachers. This teaching is done in the
Practice and Observation School con
nected with the college.
OF the 11S young women who have
received the college diploma during the
past six years, all except six have taught
since their graduation. And of the lis
graduates twenty have returned to the
institution for post graduate work
President McIver had letters from
twenty-eight States ana territories
showing that in all except six, the State
Normal diploma is life license to teach.
Of the six States which are the excep-
tons, in one the State Normal diploma
is six-year license; in two, it is
fve-year license; in one it is a four-year
license. and i'll twO-Connecticutt and
Oklahoma--it is no license at all.
Prof. james Dinwiddie, principal Of
Peace Institute, appeared before the
committee and claimed that the State
might do as it pleased with its own
Institution, but that he protested against
allowing any special privilege to one pri-
waite institution which it would not eX-
tend to all. That Peace Institute was
entitled to as much consideration for
the charitable and benevolent work it
was doing, which he claimed was as
good as that done by any Normal Col
lege, as any foreign benevOlence or
charity which has come into the State.
After these remarks the visitors re-
tired and the committc proceeded to
vote down tine amendment relating to
the State Normal and Industrial Col
legc, but postponed action 50 far as the
Asheville institution was concerned un-
til Thursday afternoon.
