= A HIGH-ToNED Democratic club, known
as Iroquois club, gave grand banquet
in Chicago on Friday evening, and invi-
ted parcel of representative Democrats,
such as Blyard of Delaware, Hurlbert
of New York. Springer of Illinois, Car
ter Hariison, the Mayor of Chicago, and
Others. A regular high old time was
provided for, and it was expected that
platform for the next Democratic candi-
date for President would be formulated,
and the Democratic keynote for the
fall elections and the next national con-
test would be sounded. After the eat
ing and drinking was fairly over the
speaking began. The glorious days off ef.
fersouian Democracy came in for large
share of the rhetoric. The tariff ques-
ton was discussed extensively, and with
great unanimity, it was concluded that
s.tariff for revenue" was the only true
Democratic doctrine. To this view
there was one dissenter, Mr.. Carter Har.
son. of Chicago. who seemed to be en-
tirely out of place in such a Bourbon
crowd, even though he had just swept
Chicago by 10000 majority. Harrison
told the Free Traders, You may make
YOUR tariff for revenue plank in your
next resolutions. and you will split the
Democratic party"
There was too much of a mixture in
the eloquence, which produced the
greatest confusion. The "Iroquois'
were disgusted. Bayard and Springer
and Hulrbert, were incensed, when the
curtain fell upon the .sorrOwful and
melancholy banquetters.

Teachers Association.

The Belmont County Teachers Asso
clatlon held its regular April meeting al
Belmont on last Saturday the I4th inst
The attendance was small, but it was
noticeable that those who were pres
ert are among our best teachers and are
ever striving TO fit themselves for the
great work of teaching.
The Association was called to order
at IL a. m. by Vice President Sparrow
Gregg, who presided during the meeting
Prayer was offered by Rev. Huddleson
The minutes OF the previous meeting
were read and approved. Mr.. w. r
Thompson. of Oakdale, then read pa
per on The Teachers Culture" This
was one of the best written papers to
which we have ever listened. 1t was
an earnest plea for a broader and wider
culture for the teachers profession. Mr.
L. insisted that in no other profession
was culture of so great Importance, and
| in none other was the lack of it attend
ed with more injurious effects. Prof
c. E. Hitchcock next discussed this sub
ject in his usual clear, fOrcible, and log
ical manner. He affirmed that by
means of true culture only can the
teacher expect to rise in his profession
and by this means the profession will
obtain a respect second to none other.
On motion of J. G. Taggart, j. C
Bethel, and f. A. Drummond, were ap
pointed committee on nomination of
officers. The Association then adjourn
ed until 1 40 p. m.
After enjoying the genial hospitality
of the good people of Belmont, the As.
sociation again met. The committee on
nominations made the following report
President, A. A. Clark; Vice Presidents
w. R. Thompson, E. L. Wiley; G. W.
King; Secretary, Miss Mary C. Bundy
Treasurer, J. A. Henderson; Ex. Com,
J. C. Bethel, c. E. Gullett, and H. L.
Peck. The report was adopted and the
above named officers elected. Various
other items of miscellaneous business
was then transacted. OF the various
other persons who had been placed on
the program not one was present. We
think when teachers consent to be
placed on the program they should feel
themselves in duty bound to be present
The Association then heard general
report from teachers concerning the re-
Gently adopted course of study. In the
various parts of the county where this
course of study has been adopted come
the most encouraging reports of its sue
cess. Wherever it has been skillfully
introduced by the teacher who desires
something better than "the good old
way and who is willing to give the
course fair, patient trial, it has been
demonstrated that it can be successfully
applied to our country schools. HOwev-
er it was the universal opinion of the
teachers that it would take time to thor
oughly introduce it in any school. If we
ever expect our country schools to be-
come what they should be, the sooner
we introduce some system of uniform
instruction will we gain the end desired
In the course of study" We have such a
system proposed. Will the teachers of
the county give it fair, patient trial
The time for adjournment having ar
rived, the Association adjourned to meet
at the call of the EX. Com. sometime
during the Normal Institute at Barnes

ANOTHER heavy iron failure took place
in Pittsburgh on Monday-that of James
Marshall & Co, pipe founders, one of the
oldest and best established firms in Pitts

possible exception of about 100000. The
Post of Tuesday, referring to the failure.
says: 1t was exceptional in its causes and
bore no relation to the normal conditions

supposition of heavy advance in prices

SHERMAN'S REASONS
For Not Accepting the Ohio Guberna.
tOrial Nomination.

WASHINGTON, April 14-Somebody
in Ohio seems determined to make SEN
ator Sherman candidate for Governor
despite the Senator'S most emphatic as
sertion that he will not run and will not
accept the nomination if it is thrust
upon him. Senator Sherman's objection,
which has not yet been broadly stated,
is certainly sensible and should be a
satisfactory one. The great stake to be
played for at the fall election in Ohio is
the Legislature, not the Governorship.
Upon this the great fight will be made,
for it means not only United States
Senatorship, but it is surer index THAI
the State ticket would be which party
can control the State the following year.
Senator Sherman believes that any citi-
zen of strength i'll the party (for there is
an old saying that any man with ability
enough to make good justice of the
peace will ably fulfill the duties of Gov
ernor of Ohio) can carry the State, and
that the Governorship is safe. In COM
pany with scores of prominent men of
the party, however, he looks upon the
Legislature as in doubt. With such a
prospect he might find himself, if can
uludlc, 6lOCJou UOFOlHOi VI OulO Will d
Democratic Legislature to elect his own
and Mr.. Pendleton's successor. Beside
the unfortunate influence of the two
Democratic Senators from Republican
State upon the election of 1884, it would
throw the balance of power in the Uni
ted States Senate into the hands of the
two Readjusters, and what effect that
might also be made to have upon the
next years election in the South is an
important point to be considered. Those
are the most potent reasons why Mr.
Sherman thinks it would not be best for
him to make the race in Ohio this fall.
Besides this, Mr.. Sherman has no desire
to take upon himself the heavy labors
which such a campaign would entail.

AYERS PILLS.

A large proportion of the diseases which cause
human suffering result from arrangement Of the
stomach, bowels, and liver. AYERS CATHARTIc
PILLS act directly upon these organs, and are
especially designed to cure the diseases caused
by their arrangement, including ConstipaticI,
Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Headache, Dysen-
terry and host of other ailments, for all Of
which they are safe, sure, prompt, and pleasant
remedy. The extensive use of these PILLS by
eminent physicians in regular practice, shows
unmistakably the estimation in which they are
held by the medical profession.
These PILLS are compounded of vegetable sub
stances only and are absolutely free from calomel
or any other injurious ingredient.
A Sufferer from Headache writes:
LAYERS PILLS are invaluable to me, and are
my constant companion. have been severe
sufferer from Headache, and your PILLS are the
only thing could look to for relief. One dose
Will quickly move my bowels and free my head
from pain. They are the most effective and the
easiest physic have ever found. 1t is pleasure
to me to speak in their praise, and always do SO
when occasion offers.
Franklin St., Richmond, Va, June 3, 1882.
81 have used AYERS PILLS in numberless in
stances as recommended by you, and have never
known them to fail to accomplish the desired re-
suit We constantly keep them on hand at our
reliable family medicine. FOR DYSPEPSIA
they are invaluable. J.T HAYES"
Mexia, Texas, June II, 1882.
The REV. FRANCIS B. HARLowE, writing from
Atlanta, Ca, says: For some years past have
been subject to constipation, from which, in
spite of the use of medicines of various kinds,
1 suffered increasing inconvenience until some
months ago began taking AYERS PILLS. They
have entirely corrected the costive habit, and
have vastly improved my general health"
AYERS CATHARTIc PILLS correct irregulari-
ties of the bowels, stimulate the appetite and
digestion, and by their prompt and thorough
action give tone and vigor to the whole physical
economy.

ed into law by the Legislature on Tues
day. 1t imposes tax of $500 per year on
saloons which sell all kinds of liquors, and
800 on those which only sell wine and

framed as to avoid all constitutional OBJ
jections which were urged against the
Pond bill Unless the people desire to
continue the free trade in liquor that now
prevails, (and we do not believe they do),
this law will meet with their hearty ap-
probation.
