TEAcHERs, ASSOCIATION.

The first session Of the new year
was held at the old school building
ON last Saturday, and was one Of the
most interesting and instructive
meetings ever held by the Associa-
ton. The meeting was called to
order by the President, Mr.. Pollok,
The first exercise upon the program
me was u paper on "The Growing
Benefit, by Sup't J.. Harry Lowe, of
Sevenmile. The paper was q fine
composition and delivered with dig
nifty and force, which was highly
gratifying to the audience. The
subject of L. B. Van Tyle's prodnc-
ton was Oceanic Movements" and
was treated in a very able manner.
Next upon the programme was III.
d. Tyrrell, of Lewisburg, who read
an essay upon "The uses of the i'm
agination in the school roam"-the
ESSAY was a carefully prepared pro-
duction and evinced much thought
and searching analysis in the speak
er who well mcrited the hearty round
of applause he received on leaving
the platform. Adjournment was Cow
in order.
The first exercise of the afternoon
was a recitation by Chas. H. Moore,
which was we'll received. Sup't +.
j. Barnard, of Middletown, o., read
a very interesting paper, the subject

sudden and startling paradoxes and
ss liabttical statements Of his propo
%sitions elected much laughter and
provoked frequent applause. "Math.
cmatical Geography was discussed
by Mr.. Disher, of Lewishurg. Mr.,
Pollok was excused from his part in
the exercises on account of some
physical indisposition. The ques.
ton SHOULD country schools be

THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK,

The mostenoted event of 1877 was
the counting in of R. B. Hayes to
the Presidency by an act passed in
a Democratic Congress. Since the
first election of Lincoln no political
event of the last half century has ex-
cited so wide and heated discussion
as the election and Inauguration of
Hayes. The result of the electoral
contest satisfied no portion of our
people outside the few personal sup
porters of the fortunate Tor unfortr
nate) victim of the count. Follow
ing close upon the result of the de-
alterations of the Commissioners be-
gan a contest in the Republican par
ty which is not yet ended and which
seems now likely to break the party
in pieces and leave the Democratic
party masters of the field. Less
than one quarter of the new Admin
istration has passed, and a Republi-
can President finds himself dtstrust-
ed by the great majority of his party
and roundly abused by not a few OF
its leading men,. That he can over
come the hostility his conduct has
aroused, and solidify to support the
men who made him President is
scarcely to be expected.
The new year opens, therefore,
with a dark cloud on the Republican
party and without an apparent ray
of hope that the close of 1878 viii
bring peace and harmony to the
great party which has five times fill
ed the White House with a Republi.
can President. The old year has
been a fruitful and golden harvest
time to the Southern Democracy
For fifteen years denied all voice OF
part in the management of public af
fairs, the Southern ex-rebels have
suddenly and in a few weeks time
worked their way to the front; taker
possession Of the National Admins
%tration; placed one of their numbe
in a Cabinet office controlling fouI
ffths of the Federal offices of tn,
Nation; secured the confidence ant
admiration of the President to sucl
an extent as to be able to secure tn
removal of Republicans in all part
of the South and the appointment Q
Democrats in their places, and t.
cap the climax of this astounding
political revolution, have constitutes
themselves the advocates and de
tenders of the Administrative policy
on the floor of the Senate and in 5h
press. What further development
will take place during 1878 remain
TO be seen. In fact very little nor
need be done to convert the entir
machinery Of the Governments int.

Since the temperance movement
was inaugurated in Cleveland, Ohio,
less than a year ago, it is stated on
the authority of a daily journal in
that city, that over forty nine thou
sand have signed the pledge, and
from a record kept for that purpose,
three hundred aad flee saloons have
been closed, and over three thousand
conversions have been made 10 the
various christian churches.

Senator BAKNUm insists thatthe
Presidential question for 1880 is set
tied in advance. He says Mr.. Til,
den, who was tricked out of the office
in 1876, and very largely through the
assumptions scheming of Abram S.
Hewitt, is the foreordanined candi,
date of the Democracy, and is as
gold as elected already. He also
says the American people want jus
tice, and will see that Tilden has his
rights in 1880, as they rallied around
Jackson, who was cheated out of the
Presidency. in 1924, in the election
of 1928. We don't believe Mr.. BAR
NUN knows anything about it. He
will wake up in 1880 and find himself
a very false prophet.

THE Democratic doctrines of this

THE Democratic doctrines of this
time are such as command the re-
spect and approval ofthe great mass
of our people. They demand that
the old Greenback which, like our
brave soldiers in the time Of war,
went to the front and remained as
VOORHEES, said, shall be heard. That
the government shall issue paper di-
rectly to the people-that National
Banks, if any are left, at the expira-
ton of their charters, shall retire
that an income tax shall be laid up
on the wealthy-that salaries shall
be reduced-that economy shall take
the place of reckless extravaganza
that labor, by equitable relation with
capital shall be h%onorably remune-
rated-that rates of interest shall be
so reduced that mercantile and man.
ufacturing interests may flourish
that there shall be no subsidies to
great Corporations of public lands
belonging to the people-that gen,
eral and free education is essential
20 the public welfare-that internal
improvements of & national charac
ter should be fostered by the gov
ernment-that the transmission o.
intelligence should be cheap-that
gold and silver coin and greenback'
ought to be legal tenders in thu
hands of the people-that the bond
holder should be compelled to abide

bought the nations bonds, and tina
all determinations should be in fay

equally bene1cient doctrines are in

1t is currently reported at Wash
ington that Senator Conkling is
about to offer q resolution of inquiry
into the right of MI. Hayes to hold
the office Of President. The inten-
tion is not so much to implicate
Hayes as to involve Matthews, Sher,
