It was remarked in the Republican Standing Committee meeting on Saturday last, that the quota of del egates in each precinct in the county had been reduced at onr 1891 con vention. This statement was not correct. Perhaps the impression was brought about by the following resolution passed at said convention, viz: "Resolved, that absent delegates at our future conventions shall rot be represented by delegates present. Or in other words should your dis trict be entitled to four delegates and only two of &aid delegates are present at the convention, said dele gates shall not have the right to cast the votes of the two absentees." This is done to insure a full at tendance. Disintegration in the South. The Index—Appeal a democratic paper of Petersburg, Virginia has this to say of democratic prospects in the South. "It's barely possible that the currencj' question wiil be the means of disintegrating the "solid South." While it now appears that the ma jority of the Democratic voters in each Southern State are in favor of free coinage of silver, there is a con siderable number of Democrats in every state from Virginia to Louis* iana who will not be willing to vote for a free silver candidate for the Presidency. These men, therefore, will either not vote at all, or else they will vote for the Kepublican nominee if he is a sound money man. While we have no doubt that two-thirds of the Democratic voters of Virginia, for instance, will cheer fully support a silver Democrat, the remaining one-third must be con sidered doubtful. Business men and professional men who have given the subject the consideration which it should command will hesitate be fore they will follow their party in to the camp of the Western Repub lican and Populist Senators who have at last practically compelled the Democracy to surrender to free Bilver. The manufacturers, mer chants, brokers, capitalists, lawyers and others who represent money and intelligence combined may have been convinced that free silver will bring disaster, not only to other persons but to themselves as well. If it shall appear to them that free coinage would be a dangerous ex periment, more likely than not to impair the value of their investments they will certainly vote with the party that takes the most conserva tive position. No Democrat will bestitate to leave bis party on this question, as it is not apolitical issue after all, but one which affects his own pocketbook, and may fix the value of his property, personal and real. Under the circumstances, therefore, we think the "solid South" is in great danger of disintegration tban it ever was before " While tearing down the walls of an old house in Upper St. Clair twp Pittsburg, farmer Richard Malvern found $15,000 hidden in a wall. One thousand dollars were in gold eagles and the rest in German and American coins and notes. The Pennsylvania railroad officials are consulting with the business men of Muncy to see whether they have sufficient freight and passenger traffic to justify the company to jrun Ibeir tracks through that town. (Fdunty Superintendent, F. W. Mitj'itert is proud of his new office and toe has a right to hp. The large book: case purchased by tbe County Comißissioners for this apartment, is very pretty and convenient. The Prof, has this well filled with a choica selection of books. Among these volumes is the Internationa] Cyclopaedia," which are quoted among the most valuable works insu ed. School reports from the or ganization of our county and in fact tho state, are promiucnt among the selection. These are interesting and calls to mind the progress of onr schools in the past forty years. Judge Bedford of Campbeilsville, was our first County Superintendent. He was elected rn 1855 and in his report to the stale speaks of the Sullivan county teachers of that date, thusly: "We h:ive yet to lament the want of competent instructors within the limits of the county. We have been under the necessity of going abroad tor five-tents of all the teach ers we have employed during the past year. Up to the close of the fiscal year just completed, I have only issued five professional certifi cates, and but two of them to teach ers resident in the county. Indeed, I am not aware of one male teacher in the county, who tollows common school teaching as a profession. I would, however, by no means, assert that wc are entirely destitute of good teachers. We have some, both male and female, who have done well; but they are entirely inadequate to the demand. This scarcity has com pelled us, in man}' instances, to em ploy incompetent persons to teach. It will require time and patience to remedy this great evil." Notice the contrast. This is what County Supt. Meylert says of the teachers, in his report of 1894: [ED.] "I am £hid to report that the pro gressive spirit that has manifested itself in school matters in our coun ty for several years past still contin ues. Every year shows that more effective work is being done. More skill in teaching and managing is manifested. Better salaries are be ing paid than ever before. A major ity of the districts have added a full month to this year's school term. Wo cannot observe these signs of improvement without feeling en couraged. But however satisfactory these indications of progress are. we must admit that many reforms must he wrought before our schools meas ure up to their highets degree of use fulness. The central figure in school work is the teacher. Upon him the suc cess of the school almost entirely depends. That he must be a person of broad scholarship, sound morals and great energy, and that he must possess skill in instructing and man aging. all will admit. That teachers possessing'all of these qualifications (•an not. long be retained in schools where, terms are short and salaries low is very apparent. And when we consider that the same degree of ability necessary to teach a success ful school will command from two to five times the salary in almost any other line of work, we sometimes wonder that the standard of quali fication is kept as high as it is. Some of our teachers have sought to better prepare themselves tor their work by attendance at Normal schools or other excellent institutions during the past year. Such teachers should bo recognized by school boards when positions arc to be till ed. Nearly all our teachers are sub scribers of one or more ol the leading educational journals. Many of them arc earnest students of works on ned a gocry. 1 shall put forth every effort to in duce our younger teachers to sup plement their course of study at home by a course at the Normal school. The only way we can hope to increase the efficiency of our schools is to strengthen our teaching force." Frtaliio A- Co. v» itlcFarlanp. TTirani Frisbie & Co. vs. .Tames McFarlane & Co. This case has oc cupied the attention of the Court in Bradford county for several days, In ISS7 McFarlane & Co. made a con tract with Frisbie & Co. for the hem lock lumber on 0000 acres of land in Sullivan county, Frisbie & Co. were to notify the defendants each year how much to peel. After the second year defendants were notified to peel the maximum amount each year. This they failed to do the last two years and then sold the land to the Union Tanning Co. Frisbie claimed that they were deprived of a larire quantity of timber and brought suit for damages. Jury retired at 4 p. m. Verdict for plaintiff slo34.4o.—To wanda Republican. Wo arc in receipt of a commnica<- lion addressed at the Laporte P. O. The letter is unsigned, hence reposes in our waste basket. It was written on a worthy subject, "Our Schools," but that docs not make the signature of the writer good. With Black and Lawrence on the Republican ticket, there will be no good reason to bolt the Republican column. Instead, Democrats will come to our assistance. A Demo crat said the other day that with these two gentlemen on our ticket, the nominees of his party would stand a very poor chance of success. James A. Garfield, a son of Presi dent Garfield and a graduate of Williams collego, is a candidate for a seat in the Ohio senate, the same I one his father many years ago oc cupied. J ELKLAND ITEMS. We have persistently refused to talk about the weather, but this is too good to pass by in silence. Farmers in this section have their planting pretty well done up to corn, and now the long straight furrows are being made for that crop. In the language of old Whittier, let us say: "Heap high the fanners' wintry board. Heap high the golden com. JjTo richer gift hath Autumn poured, from out her lavished horn." Paul the creamery man is making excellent butter, and his cheese looks good enough to make one hungry right after eating dinney, and we are waiting with the "small boy" im patient for the first make to ripen. Wayne Warren of Ijake Run, has obtained a position with J. G. Plotts as general workman. Thomas King now in his 82 year lias been sutiering with an attack of grip and bis mind seems almost en tirety Dr. W. F. Randall drives a splen did span of bays and he drives like "fire and tow" to visit his patients. A law and order league is now talked of aud those who persist in turning stock loose in the highways mny expect a fuss soon "worth wak ing up to see." F. Farmers ani Horsemen. A revival in the price of heavy draft horses has already commenced. The great falling off in the breeding which has taken place dining the past two years is going to make them scarce and in active demand by the time that business shall have fully recovered from the late depres sion. In view of these facts it is therefore a good time to commence the breeding of the above mentioned class of horses. The undersigned will have on ex hibition three stallions whose sup periors have never been seen in this locality and whose pedigrees and descriptions are annexed.
