The Superintendent of Public In struction, Prof. O . H. Mebane, has sent the following htter to the vari ous committeemen : "I hope you have the census of your respective town ships, and that you have assigned the children to their respective schools. If you have not the census you must take it accurately and have the report in the bands of your County Supervisors not later than the first Monday in December. This will only give the Supervisor one month to get his report in shape for the County Board of Education on the first Monday in January, 1898, when the apportionment will be made strictly by the township, and so much per capita. Where it is necessary to continue a school near a township line the committees which control the terri tory from which the children will come to compose such school or schools, should get together and de cide how many, and who, shall at tend or be assigned to such schools. Make these reports plain so that the county board of education may eas ily understand. The law does not require that each school shall have sixty-five children assigned to it, no more and no less, for, on account of geographi cal reasons, in certain localities, im passible, streams and creeks and sparsely settlement areas, it will not be practicable to have as many as sixty-five children for each school, and for these reasons one school may have fewer than thirty children, but -ay have as many as seventy-five or - hundred, but the average in the whole township should not be less than sixty-five. If possible, I would much prefer to have an average of seventy-five or eighty. This would be much better, as the greater the average the fewer the schools, and consequently the longer the school term. You are required to meet on the second Monday and re-apportion the money that has been apportioned to your township by the county board of education. I have taken considerable pains to prepare a record book for you. You have more power and larger discretion as to the re-apportionment of the school fund than was ever allowed to school committee men before by the laws of our state, and I trust you will use this power and discretion wisely. I would remind you that a good, live energetic teacher is cheaper at $35 or $40 per month than a teacher who knows nothingof what progress and real teaching is, even at $15 per month. Pay your teacher more and demand more of them then you will move forward. Do not, I beg you, waste the school fund for school supplies. It is amazing to see how many thousands of dollars of our Public School money has been spent for supplies, and yet where are the equipped Public School bouses ? RAIN TONIGHT. This Is the Weather Prediction Today by the Bureau.' Mr, von Herrman says rain to night, with probably fair weather Wednesday. It will be slightly cooler Wednesday morning.

Consnl Lee Returns to Havana In a Few Days Appointment Today Cabi net Does' Not Believe Sa gasta Will be Successful. By Telegraph to the Press-Visitor. Washington, Oct. 12. The Cabinet informally discussed the action of the New York Journal in rescuing MisSCisneros from a Cuban prison at the regular meeting today. It is said they fear no international com plications. ConsulGeneral Lee was at the state department and Whit'eHouse today. He haves for Havana in a few days and the administration does not believe Sagasta and his cabinet will be more successful in Cuba than their predecessors, except pacific measures L reforms may eveutu ally succeed ,n paving the way for the ultimate freedom of Cuba. The President today appointed RafTacl Madrigal of Maryland United States consul toCartagenaColombia. It is enough to cause a smile on the face of a wooden Indian to listen to the official announcement that Mr. McKinley is going to Ohio to vote, but is in doubt as to whether be will accept either of the several invita tions that have been extended to him to make a speech in the state previous to the election, when it is well known that Boss Hanna billed him weeks ago for a speech in Cin cinnati. Pagan Bob Ingersoll had inlluence enough with Mr. McKinley to pull down a nice plum for one of his nephews, John C. Ingersoll, in the shape of the Consulship at Copen hagen. "Fools rush in," etc. There has been more or iess comment in Wash ington on the fact that Senator For- aker, of Ohio, was the only Republi can of national prominence who could be induced to take pirt in the Re publican mass meeting in New York, held to ratify the nomination of ex Secretary Tracy by Boss Piatt and Mr. McKinley. Ex President Har rison positively declined, although Tracy is his personal friend and was a member of his cabi net. Chauncey Depew conveni ently managed to have other engage ments, and Czar Reed politely re fused to go. This means that these men are "on to" the Platt-McKinley game and are too smart to get them selves mixed up in it. Why Foraker went to New York is one of the hard things to answer. After his shabby treatment in Ohio by Boss Hanna, he was probably flattered when Boss Piatt asked him to speak at the New York meeting and accepted the invitation offhand. THE BONDS ARE HERE.
