Judge Charles E. Phelps, of Baltimore, made
a thoroughly practical and sensible address, on
the relation of teachers among themselves, TO
scholars and parents, and to the outside world.
On the last point he said
Like every other corps, teachers occnpya GER

past of the idea that teaching is n business to be
taken up by young men after leaving college
and before they engage ia other business, or by
young ladies waiting to get married, lie set his
face against such a theory, and commended that
teaching is and ought to be a distinct and indie
pendent profession and life vocation Teachers

Two years ago the Republican convention
of Hartford county endorsed Democratic
nominee for County Commissioner, Mr.. John
$. Dallam, and emphatically said, in that
campaign, that Mr. Dallam was an unexcep-
tionally proper and suitable person, in every
particular, for that position. His ripe ex-
perence, excellent business capacity and un-
tagging energy in behalf of the countys in
terests were urged upon the voters of their
party. The above is fact beyond success
full contradiction. The files of the Times
prove it,
Now in the present campaign the Republi-
cans have put nominee in the field against
Mr.. Daam, and the very organ that sound
ed his praises so loudly then has the assur-
ance to attack him with personalities and all
kinds of abuse and ridicule. Bourbon"
Democrat and other slang is freely applied
to the gentleman they recommended their
voters to support as such fit and proper
man two years ago. Yet Mr. Dalam is the
same now that he was then. Surely COM
ment is unnecessary, and the hypocrisy of
the matter is too apparent for extended
notice. 1t demonstrates, however, that the
Custom House action of.day is different from
the action of the Republican party two years
ago.

until this is understood. One drawback to this
Il that teaching is hardly compensated up to a
point to induce persons to adopt it for life pro-
fession. The compensation ought to be ade-
quate and certain We ought never see school
houses closed in May, or as he had seen them in
February, for want of funds to pay teachers. He
suspected the cause for this notlto be want OF
money or disposition on the part of taxpayers
to withhold proper proportion of taxes for
public schools. Ii comes from the way in
which our public affairs are administered by
both parties. There is a want of economy and
an actual waste, which diverts the school money
from its proper uses. This brought him to the
point where teachers should exert their inhu-
ence. He drew lively picture of the average
political campaign-"the tremendous issues, -
''the crisis in the country" &c. This talk is
merely to blind the people while the politicians
fill their pockets Mt the expense of the taXpay-
ers. While the honest farmers have the wool
pulled over their eyes they gather in the harvest
Teachers, as such, ought to consider themselNe e.
as having direct interest in maintaining econo-
my in public affairs otherwise they won't get
paid. pension should be provided for every
teacher after % years faithful service. TaXpay
ers should see TO ii that after faithful service fol
that period teachers should not be turned out
like old horses to die. Until that is done teach
| ing can never become distinct profession and
life vocation.
Judge Phelps next adverted to the graspnl
and increasing power of large corporations ant
urged teachers to aid in educating public opn
ion to the point of instituting measures fo
self protection.

Hartman in buggy. Mrs. Deckman seized the

MIR. A. G. Morean Perrymans, which worked
beautifully, and to the satisfaction of both Mr.
MORGAN and Mr.. Keen, who cut their corn with il,

much richer than that cut by hand-geting the
milk of corn without brusing or MASKING the
grain that crop cut by the cutter will yield full
ly per cent. more than when cut by hand that
it will save the labor Of from to hands, doing
the work in far superior manner, with no brus-

all day Sunday, and on Monday morning the
thermometer went down to 40. There was frost
in every part of the county and in some low
places the ground was frozen. No damage is
believed to have been done TO the tomato or
corn crops. 1t has made some of the tomato
growers feel anxious, however. The effect OF
the cool weather will probably have tendency
to stitfen the prices of canned tomatoes and
