The Teachers' Institute.

The Arcadia Valley Teachers Association
met May 9th in the Ironton Public Schoo
House, and was called to order by DIR. n. C
Griffith and opened with prayer by Rev. A
W.. Wright. The attendance of members
was unusually full, and every one appointed
to work was present and prepared. The
meeting was especially distinguished by the
number of new workers that came for.
| ward.
| The Rev. Mr.. Wright discussed "Aims in
Teaching" and showed that the great design
of common school teaching is to train uI
good men and women TO work in the world
The essay showed complete understanding
of and entire sympathy with common school
| work.
Mr.. T. G. Foley discussed s'School Organ
| ization. The article had evidently been
prepared as the writer had leisure from
current duties, and was somewhat defective
In arrangement, but was full of valuable
practical facts, to which may be added an
other practical fact that Mr.. Foley is very
effective teacher.
Mr.. r. NJ. Hunter discussed duplication
of the Principles of School Government
On that subject Mr.. Hunters views are
somewhat stringent, and would apply best
to bad cases, and would be likely to place
him in the list of schoolmasters.
Miss Tillie Schneider gave specimen OF
institute work on "Penmanship." Her style
of composition is sigularly pure, concise and
terse. 1t is to be lamented that the institute
did not succeed earlier in bringing Miss
Schneider to the front, for any one that can
discuss penmanship as she did can treat
other scientific subjects well.
Judge Emerson gave his lecture on 'Infiu-
ences" in the Academy of Music at night.
1t is no drawback to the merits of the proc
duction that it would not be appreciated
fully by the average nearer. 1t did not con-
stump speech. 1t had neither blood nor
thunder, earthquake, whirlwind nor fire. 1t
was high, scholarly production. Every
sentence bore marks of the plane and the
file. He showed how matter influences
matter, and how matter influences mind,
and how one mind influences another, and
how those influences which had remained
dormant for hundreds of years can be revived
so as to be as fresh and strong as at the first
He showed that good influences do not up
heaye from below, but standing above draw
up to themselves the objects to be controlled.
The speaker was very happy in illustrating
in the work of the teacher, by reference to
the telegraph, where the battery repeats the
message and sends it forward. The lecturer
suggested thought there, that whilst the
machine sends forward the message just as
it received it, the mental battery sends q
truth or influence forward, not as it received
it, but stamped with its own mental individ-
uality; so that good influences, like history,
repeat themselves, but always on higher
and broader plane. The lecture was partic-
ularly commendahle for. its very thorough but
Ilnobtrusive recognition of the influence of
God as the source and center of all good.
Taken altogether the meeting was the best
that the institute has ever held.

Ed. Register-As you were not present
Saturday evening, permit us to tell you
something about Judge Emerson's lecture
on 'Infiuence." The night was very I'M
promising; darkness reigned; and as we
went to the Music Hall, outward objects be-
ing excluded, we naturally fell-not into a
ditch, but into train-not of cars, but of
thought: "What turn will the Judge give the
subject? What branch will he give light upon ?
What subdivision of influences will he select ?
Well, the Judge is getting up in years. Yes;
and he is a practical business man; and last
but not least, he is a lawyer. OF course we
cannot expect a f1owery speech; no room for
Imagination; away with rhetorical display
The Judge will no doubt get down to the
practical facts; perhaps his legal mind will
dwell on the influences Of the rules and reg
ulations of the school room, school laws,
social laws, moral laws, etcetera. Souldn't
wonder if he react the hum drum routine of
school life-the rod included.''
But to the subject: Imagine our surprise
to hear highly figurative, beautifully orna-
mented, philosophical, scientific lecture
The Judge turned his Imagination loose !;
took flight into space illimitable; and, in
stead of growing weary, grew in strength,
until he grasped worlds, hurled them around
like toys, and not satisfied with that, resolved
the universe into chaotic mass-gasseous and
illimitabie.
Rum riot? No. sir; order reicned SUI
preme-every atom held its place, and obedi-
entity answered every vibration in perfect
unison" 'But quo 6on0?" you ask. Why,
sir, the material universe was made Illus
trate the intellectual and moral world, until
every act and word of the teacher were pho
tOgraphed upon the mind and character of
the pupil indelable, indessructible, ever
active. The imponderable agents played an
active part. The whole subject matter was
warm with life giving Overwhelmingly
illustrated" spiritually electrified" and
distinctly ''telephoned" to every attentive
ear.
Sorry we have not time to tell YOU some
thing about the music. SuJfcit dicene, it
was splendid. Yes-sweet, artistic, delight
full, grand!
But we are imposing on your space. "Au
who are in favor of copy say aye"

The proceedings at the Teachers Assoeia-
ton at the Academy of Music last Saturday
evening were OF an unu !ually interesting
kind. The singing would have done credit
to professionals. The rendering of "The
Sky Lark" by Mrs. Isham, assisted by a
chorus, was very fine. The singing of '',Iin-
ME Bell'' by Miss Fannie Markham, assisted
by the Misses Russell and Messrs. Claude C.
Russell and c. b. Isham, as chorus, was ex-
ceedingly well done. Other charming songs
were given. REGULATIONS by Master Oliver
Fairchild and Mr.. Isham were good. The
address OF Judge Emerson is spoken of in
very high terms by the best critics. 1t was
probably the most scholarly and profoundest
of his prepared addresses.

IL. s. SENATOR.

Through the different papers great deal
is being said about the qualities and proba-
bilities of candidates for United States SEN
ator. While we have no war of words to
wage in the matter and no preferences for
any particular candidate, SO that a person is
selected who will do equal justice to all
parts of the state. In canvasing the proba-
bic candidates why not weigh the qualities
of other than four or five. Why can not
some of these papers who are SO anxious
about the matter make mention of the name
of W. D. Hare, of Washington county, or
the name of W. P Lord, of the present SUI
preme bench, either of which are excellent
material The names of others might be
mentioned also, who would do honor to the
state if sent to Washington. Why not can
vass the whole field. There is no use OF
quarreling about three or four persons with
SO much vindictiveness as some papers do,
while Oregon possesses great many persons
as suitable as those talked of so much.

SHOULD REGULATE TRANSPORTATION.

At the coming Legislature some settle
ment of the freight question should be made.
Persons who order freight from San Fran
cisco, or other points, and direct it marked
to the care of some person to be delivered
to him at some intermediate point, they
should have some satisfactory assurance that
it would be delivered as indicated. Or when
freight is lost. broken or damaged by a
common carrier during its transit, the value
of the article should be made good to the
owner of the freight promptly and without
a delay of years in which to do it. With
the transportation facilities of middle Ore
gon all virtually in the hands of one COM
pany and with the disposition which that
company cultivates of expressing the people,
these remedies can not be effected without
some very positive and effectual enactment
of the legislature. The legislature certainly
has the power to regulate freights and fares
and to prescribe the duties of common car
riers. 1t has the power to make large
transportation companies do their duty to
the people and to account promptly and
strictly for all articles entrusted to their
charge.
It is shame to any civilized country to
know that merchants of this valley shipped
goods from san Francisco to Portland with
directions for them to be delivered at the
latter place to some Of the river steamboat
companies, but when the freight arrived at
Portland, the company carrying it from San
Francisco would not deliver it, but conveyed
the same to the point of destination at about
as much again cost as the river boats would
have charged for carrying it.
1t is also q disgrace that merchants along
the line of transportation in this valley have
lost articles while in course of transporta-
tion while other article, have been broken
and damaged, and some OF them, even after
a year or more of delay, have been unable
to get anything from the company for the
loss or damage. We have a fine country
but the impositions it sustains are too many.

St. Petersburg, Aug 29.-The Siberian
plague is appearing to an alarming extent
in most widely separated quarters of Euro
pean Russia.
Portland, Me-, Aug. 29.-Ex-Secretary
Blaine delivered political address tonight
in presence of a large and enthusiastic au-
dience. The speech was devoted chiefly to
state politics. In alluding to the contest
between the governor of Maine and state
council he said: My particular personal
excuse for making this issue publicly with
the governor is he says he is doing precise
ly with the council of Maine what the Ia
mented president did with the U. S. senate
issue with the senate, SO he has one with
| the council. Now. to begin with, President
Garfield never had an issue with the senate
of the United States, and there never was
any difference between them. Each re-
spected the power of the other, and each
kept within its own power. What the
president of the United States objected to
was that a senator of the United States
outside of the senate chamber, should be
dictator of appointments in this state. To
make an analogy worth anything Governor
Plaisted would have to present these seven
executive councillors each demanding the
appointees in his councillor district be-
| longed to him. Then we would have a
parallel case that the president of the
United States never made nomination to
the Senate where he did not accompany it
with an understanding that when there
grew up dispute about the one nominated,
and he accompanied it with repeated decla.
rations, the senate had as clear a right to
confirm or reject as he had to nominate
that each was absolute within his own
sphere. What the president asked was
that in certain nomination which became
of great interest throughout the country
|
ate would either confirm or reject. 1t was
demanded that it be withdrawn. The pres
ident declined to do this and said 'sthe
nomination is before you, senators. 1t il
within your discretion. 1 have no right
to ask you to confirm and I have no right
to ask you to reject, but I have a right tt
ask you that you will do one or the other
because the constitution gives me the righ
to ask that
