President Davis visited Scotland
county on Monday last to get some
change made in the subscription of
that county to render it more availa-
bic and the bonds more desirable in
the market. 1t was amatter of doubt
as to whether the County Court would
make the change without instructions
from the people though a~lIagreedthat
as the Court had imposed the eOndit-
ions it could alter them.
Alarge mass meeting was organized
composed of citizens from all parts of
the county, when Mr.. Davis delivered
an interesting address, showing that
the charge desired was of mutual adj
vantage to the county and railroad
company. Resolutions were unanim-
ously adopted instructing the Court
to make the change which President
Davis asked. The Court Immediately
convened and made the change de-
sired.
At night a mass meeting of the cit
liens of Memphis was held at the
court house, when Mr.. Davis told
them he wanted $500 in warrants of
their town for immediate use for the
road. Resolutions were unanimously
adopted instructing the Town Council
to make the appropriation. At s
o'clock next morning the Council met
and unanimously voted the amount,
subjecttO Mr.. Davis order.
The same day he addressed the cit
liens of Washington township, Clark
county, at FairmOnt, and a petition
was drawn upand numerously signed
praying the County court to order a
special election under an act of
Legislature, approved March, 1853,
authorizing any township or portion
of a county to vote on themselves a
subscription forTailrOads. They pledg-
ed MI. Davis $4,000, and say their
people are nearly unanimous for it.
Mr.. Davis trip was a pleasant and
successful one, and he is in the high
estspirits. The City Council Of Quincy
has adopted an ordinance empower
ing the Mayor to make theirsubscrip-
ton of 500, 900.
The following corps of engineers
has been organized: J. S. Smith,
sistanB Engineer, r. A. Grant LeYeleF.
The President to the 18th received
the members of the International
TaiIors' Union convention in the east
room of the White House. About
fifty delegates were present. The
President was introduced to the mem
bers by Hon. Thomas III. Florence,
and after shaking hands with them,
delivered an address thanking them
for this visit. and referring, at some
length, to the questions of labor, and
the efforts that should be made to
elevate it. The President INDUCED
in no remarks of a political charter.
The interview lasted about th~ree-quar-
tiers of an hour.
Nj. Johnson, Secretary Mccullough,
and Nh. Browning, support Seymour
and Blair. Mr.. Wells is on the fence.
Mr.. Seward, Mr.. Evarts and General

We attended a grand Republican
Demonstration at PlattsmOuth on the
afternoon and evening Of the 11th-
Speeches were made by Maj. Taffe,
Gov. Butler, Gov. Sanders, Gen.
Strickland, j. I. Rediek, Mr.. Cowan,
Maj. Strunk, J. S. Church, and Judge
o. p. Mason, to attentive audiences.
The Republicans of Plattsmouth are
wide awakeandare doing work which
must make its mark in the fall cam
paign. Besides the citizens of Platts-
mouth many of the leading men of
the State were in attendance. The
four and six horse teams with the
national flag flying, and their cheers
as they arrived in front of the court
house reminds one of the good old hard
cider times of 1910. Republicans are
in earnest the country through. The
signs of the times are ominous of evil,
unless the Republican c~Ondidates. are

Tuition in Normal and Seminary
departments, So; in primary depart
ment, S.; room rent, 81 per scholar
board, So per week; students must
bring all their own furniture.
We think no n can reasonably
complain of the expenses of this school.
Board cannot be obtained in private
families or hotels for less than $3.50,
from that to So per week. Young men
can board themselves if they choose,
and thus live as cheap as they please.
Next term we expect to have four or
five teachers employed, so that we
will be able to give students a much
better chance than heretofore. While
we are ready to teach any branch of
study that may be called for by a
sufficient number of students to form
a class, we expect to pay attention to
the education and training of teachers.
Weare confdentthat one terms train
ing will be of almost inea1culable BEN
eft to the young man or woman who
expects to teach the coming winter.
Let the school directors look to it
that no incompetent teacher is allowed
to take charge of the common school.
There is no good excuse now for en-
.ploying incompetent teachers. With
a little energy on the part of those who
are seeking employment as teachers,
they may receive a drill that willie
ify them to do well.
The State has opened a school ex-
pressly for them, and expects to make
it all that any reasonable person can
ask for; but it must be sustained by
the people it will be useless to afford
the means for thorough training unless
they be made use of. Let it be made
a necessity for young men and women
who expect to teach, to spend at least
one term in the Normal School.
