CURRENCY BILL PASSED.
The Vote in the House Stood 1870
For to $50 Against.
ELEVEN DEMOCRATS VOTE AYE.

Gold Standard Measure Agreed to by a
Majority of Forly-No Effort Made by
the Minority to Change the Bill in
Any way-Senate VIII Act After the
Holiday Recess.
WASHINGTON, D. G. (SpeciaD. The Cur
rency bill drawn up by the Republican
Caucus Committee of the House Of Repre-
sentatives passed the House by a,vote OF
100 in favor of the bill to $50 against it,
majority Of forty.
The bill had the support of eyery Repub-
lican in the House and of eleven Demo-
crats-Messrs. Clayton, briggs, Fitzgerald,
Levy, Rupert, Scudder, Underhili and
Wilson, of New York; Mr.. McAleer, of
Pennsylvania; Denny, of Maryland, and
Mr. Thayer, of Massachusetts.
All the other Democrats voted against
the measure or were paired against it ex-
cept Mr.. John Walter Smith, Governor
elect of Maryland; Mr.. Stallings, of Ala
bama, and General Joseph Wheeler, of Ala
bama. Mr.. Stallings has not been present
in the House this session, owing to illness.
and one of his colleagues announced that
If present he would have voted in the neg
ative. General Wheeler is serving In the
Philippines. Mr.. Smith is, therefore, the
only memter of the House who did not go
on record upon the bill.
No unusual scenes attended the final
vote. Mr.. Gaines, of Tennessee, asked If
it would be in order to move to recommit
the bill, and was told by the Speaker that
1t would not. None of the free coinage
men asked unanimous consent to make
such a motion or to offer free silver
amendment. The announcement of the
vote was greeted with loud applause on
the Republican side.
The currency bill will now go to the Sem
ate, where it will be referred to the Com
mittee on Finance, which will not take
any action until after the holiday recess.
The bill will then be taken up and the COM
mittee will eventually report as a substi-
tute for it the measure drawn up by the
Republican majority of the committee.
Senator Aldrich, who will have charge of
the bill in the Senate, is confident that it
will pass before the end of February.
There will then be conference on the dis
agreeing votes of the two houses, and the
measure that will finally be enacted will
be framed by the Conference Committee,
which will adopt some of the features Of
the House bill and some of the Senate bill.
Whatever may be the final details of the
measure, it is certain that it will enact the
gold standard and provide for increased
national bank circulation.

Tho Teacher.

Under the head Of "our schOolsp
the Temple Mirror has the follow
ing apt paragraph:
"Have you ever thought how
difficult a matter il is for a teach
er to keep il the middle Of the
road as We might erm it; that is
to avoid severe criticism on either
hand. For example, here is a pa.
iron who thinks that the teacher is
too lax in discipline, another thinks
he is too strict. One thinkh he
whips too much. One parent thinks
the teacher requires too much work
Of his child, another thinks that
his child is not given enough to do.
One thinks that the teachers
should see that the young people
study at night and abstain from
social recreation; another thinks
that the teacher should not NEEDLE
in such matters. And 30 on. nd
minimum. 1t is easy TO see that
the teacher cannot even hone
to govern his conduct by the wishes
.of parents in the matter, and that
IL would be the sheerest folly to
even attempt to please everybody
in the conduct of his work. The
best he can do is to follow the ad.
vice Of Davy Crockett: "Be sure
you are right, and then 90 ahead "
1t does not follow from this that a
teacher should be obstinate and
self-willed, or that he should not
listen to the suggestions OF parents
and friends and even eek their ad.
vice; but obtaining all the light.
possible on the-matter, the best he
can do is to be governed by his
own judgment, and do the thing
that commends itsesf as right.
whether it be the most popular
thing or not"
