Washington, D. 0:, May 2at., 94..
It was definitely settled on the
test vote, Jorced by Senator Teller at
the conclusion of Senator Gorman's
speech, that the tariff bill will re
ceive the vote of every democrat and
populist in the Senate" and conse
quently that no reason exists for fur
ther delay in taking the final votf-.
It was to prove this that Mr. Teller
made his motion to lay t he oil I on
the table. The vote vvas 38 to 28v
only republicans voting tor the mo
tion. It is believed I hat t his will
hurry up the vote, as it will give
those in eharg't of tVe bill a confi
dence they have heretofore lacked.
Senator Teller has received many
communications from busintss men,
whose only anxiety is to gt the jues
tion settled in some shape, n vs re
murks on the tariff bill this week.
He began by telling the republican
Senator? that there was no urotit in
taunting the democrats witi being in
consistent and recalling to their
mii.ds the fact thut tht? MoKiulev
bill, which he said was neither the
height of wisdom nor the sum of all
excellencies, could not have pass
ed the Senate if the Finance commit
tee had not granted the demands of
certain Senators, just as the present
Finance committee had been com
pelled to do. Continuing Mr. .Viler
said: "In my opinion the bill i am
ple for the -protection of American
industries, I believe that the de
mands of the government for reve
nue are so great that a bill laid for
revenue onlv, if wisely laid, will, on
fom -fifths of all the articles it touch
ea, give to the. American people am
ple protection acramat foreign cheap
labor. But I do not think that this
bill is so wisely drawn that it does
that in the sense that it ought. And
vet 1 am bound to say tint it is a bet
ter bill than I had an idea would
come to us from the democratic par
tv after its declaration at Chicago.
It is abetter bill than we, on this
side o fthe chamber, hoped, to
iret.
And I am dad to get it, with an its
inconsistencies thrown in. Let us
address ourselves to the question like
practical business men, leaving poli
tics alune long enough to get a bill
that will give to the prostrate busi
ness of this country hope and cour
age enough to open their now closed
factories. Upon this bill the inter
est of 70,000,000 of people are de
pendent. And if, wheu we get
through, the bill is not what we want
let us go to the people and submit
the question ia that great forum
where right will ultimately prevail."
The Tucker bill providing for the
election of Senators by direct vote of
the people, which was passed by the
House during the last Congress, has
been again favorably reported to the
House, which it will pss. The Sen
ate does not take kindly to the idea.
Representative Eiiloe; of Term., is
now a firm believer in themaxn"all
things come to him whOywaiteiEor
several years-past when the Legisla
tive, Executive and Judicial appro
priation bill wag before the Hous
Mr. Enloe has offered an amendment
i
striking out the item raakin g appro
priations for salaries of the Civil Ser
vice Commissioners and their clerks.;
The vote on this, prpposit ion has been
a little larger each year; and it was
large enough tms week to get - the
amendment adopted when the House

was iittinfj as a committee of the
whole by a vote of 109 to 71." The
amendment jwill have7 to stand the
test of a formal yea or na.v vote in
the House before its aboption is ac
complished, and the chances are that
enough votes can be rallied to Ue
feat it, but Mr. Eoh.e savs he can
wait until jiextyear, if it is defeated.
" : BEAD THIS.
For tfte benefit of the Magistrates
the Board of Education and the Coun
ty Commissioners, who have to elect
a Superintendent next Monday we

His not visiting schools is a- blessing
because any man who did visit
schools would ouly be dding so to
rob the children of the school mon
ey. Great folks, we Htt county peo

by Granville county men who make
their living out of us and say this of

"The Board of Education shall

'County boards have a wide range
of powers and duties, and they ought

and inspecton of t he schools, in the
organization and improvement of the
teachers and in all other work con
ducive to the progress of the schools
and to the cultivation of a spirit of
progressive education among the
whole people."
Seo.
"The success of the public schools
in any county will greatly depend on
the efficiency and activity of the
County Superintendent. The Boards
should use t e utmost care iu the se
lection of a man for the position."
Sec. 2569.
"Under the supervision of the
county Board of Education the Coun
ty Superintendent shall visit the
schools and shall perform such other
duties as may be required ot him by
the county Board of Education and
the State Superintendent and shall
obey their instructions.
The County Superintendent should
oe allowed large discretion in the
matter of visitation of schools. No
wn rk ivill be of greater benefit to the
teachers and schools. The chool com
mittre should, heartily co-operate
with the Superintendent in securing
the best work possible by the teach
ers in the schoolroom.
Sec 2575.
"Each county superintendent of
public instruction loho shall comply

publicans were responsible for the
paniqof 1873 by demonetizing silver
and that the Democrats wre respon
sible for this panic by killing free
Sliver (Mr. Spease overlooked the
qnestidu that the panic was on when
tno silver bill passed.) He said that
Zeb Vance and the Populists both
fought the unconditional repeal of
the purchasing clause of the Sher
man act, J ike Washington did for
our independence but that the late
Senator and the Populists were too
much in the minority to accomplish
anything.
