Teachers Association.

The third meeting of the Allen coun-
ty teachers association was held in
Humboldt, November Sth, 1879.
No officers being present, Mr.. VIII
Cady was chosen chairman pro tenn.
As the weather was very Indictment
there were only about twenty teachers
present. The majority of those who
had been assigned duties on the pro-
gramme were absent.
Miss Ella Cooley gave class drill
i'm Arabic Notation. She had brought
her class of little ones with her from
Salem, and they certainly did well and
proved that they had been efficiently
drilled by their teacher. Hef method
of instruction was By teaching them
the order each figure occupied and
then having them enumerate the num-
Der to see if they were correct
Mr.. Cady called Mrs. Chamberlain
to the chair and she presided while he
gave class drill showing his method
of teaching Arabic Notation, which
was by having them place ii comma
after each period as they would write
it down and when they were done he
would name over the figures iH their
right order as they occurred in the
number. All who had the figures SO
placed were correct. Prof. MiddauGh
then drilled the class from the city
schools brought there for that purpose.
He preferred Mr.. Cady's method and
would drW the pupils - write the
number correctly and not spend time
in philosophiZing aciy they wrote il 50.
Miss Mary Wilcox had hTo'lght her
class OF little ones with her and gave
uses the word "nctnod" and has them
print She wcrd az they learn it.
Mr. q. Dewitt then read 81 excellent

Travels OF General Grant.

a brilliant record of his remarkable
career and extraordinary journey
around the world, the guest OF queens
and emperOrs the hOnored of all ma
tons. General Grant occupies large
place in the interest, the admiration
and the affection of the American
people.
The events ofthe last two years show
that he also occupies iargc place in
the estimation of the whole world.
He has visited nearly every civilized
nation of any importance on the globe.
Kings, enlperoTs, princes and presi-
dents have We'd with each other in
doing honor to the man and to the
nation of which he has been the dis
tinguished representative. AS an il
Illustrated book OF travels, this will GER
:ainly be found to be more deeply in
teTesting than any similar volume that
has ever vet been published.
Mr.. Hcadly, with his wonderful de-
scriptiye abilities and his extensive
personal knowledge Of the countries
and places visited by General Grant,
takes the letters of Mr.. John Russell

and reyises; giving in far less compass
a much richer literary treat. He COW

The judicial Race.

The reelection of Judge TalcOtt to
the office of District Judge over so pop
uiar a man us Mr.. Kepiinger is a
strong endorsement. Especially is if
Sd from the fact of the handsome vote
and majority received in his home
town and county where he is best
known.
Busily engaged in court he never
fiinched from the trial, but went ahead
attending to his duties saying he could
not afford to neglect those duties for
the purpose of electioneering. The
work that was done was the voluntary
work of friends who believed him the
man for the place.
His opponents well acquainted over
the district, good lawyer and one
who had very few personal enemies.
Probably the strongest man in the dis
trict that could have been selected to
run against Judge TalcOtt-certainly
the strongest in this county.
We do believe that had Judge Tai
colt been able to have made canvass
in other counties he would have re-
ccived more votes, especially in Neo-
sho county. But we are well satisfied
that he did as well as he has done
the strength of his oppo-
nent. We believe the people OF the
district will have no occasion II regret
Judge TalcOtt's election.

The smoke OF the battle having now
somewhat cleared away, We are able
to form some opinion of the various
causes which contributed TO the over
whclming victory OF the Republican
party in this county. In the past the
Democratic party has never been able
to gain a victory except when they
have been greatly aided by dissensions
and guaTreis in the ranks OF the Re
publican party, and then only when
these dissensions and QUarre!s have
been skillfuliy taken advantage of and
fostered by the Democratic leaders.
Early in the canvass and before the
meeting Of the Democratic convention
there were strong indications of dissat-
isfacti0n with some OF our ticket and
had the Democracy been governed
by the same shrewd counsels as in the
past the result might have been disas-
trOus. But this year we find in the
van Of the Democracy new leaders
whose plans Of operation were so con-
spicuously wanting in ability and good
sense that very early every wail-wisher
of the Republican party felt well sat
isficd as to the final result, which has
been SO happily realized.
"Whom the Gods wish to DESTROY
they first make mad" has been fully
realized and felt by the scattered CO.
horts of the late belic0se and pugna-
ciOus Democracy OF this county. The
result however had been expected from
the fact that ii was we'll known that
many stalwart and influential Dem
ocrats all over the county We're deeply
Disguised with the strange and iacon-
Sistent policy adopted and forced upon
The convention BY themselves, consti-
tuted leaders. and who had determined
TO give expression to their d:ssatisfac-
ton and disgust at the polls.
Another grave biunder of the new
leaders WAS i'm their estimation of their
personal strength and influence with
tine party. Parties are always dis
trustful of new leaders, and unless
they are backed up with good charac-
tiers and conspicuous talents such Lead
ership is apt To be disastrous. Again,
nothing seemed more important than
the waging OF 4 fierce fight upon other
prominent men in their party for the
purpose, apparently, ofranderin@ their
precarious position more permanent
and secure This had the effect OF
alternating and driving away ether
elements of Democratic strength.
Many other causes and plumbers might
he assigned to account for the maagre
results which attended the struggle of
the Democracy, but want OF time and
space prevents. Suffice it to say that
the party is now generally Disguised,
and with nothing more than the ignor
ance, egOtism and selfishness exhibited
by their self-constructed leaders. Ex-
it the great trio.
