Report of Teachers Association
held at Maiden Rock, Dec II. 1885.
Session opened at III a. IN. with a
large attendance. Exercises preceded
by singing Infringing in the Sheaves.
The first topic, School Discipline, was
presented by Mr.. L. Frye, and fully
discussed by others present. The
main points of discussion upon this
subject were: The teachers influence
upon his pupils; his demeanor toward
them both in and out of school hours;
and shall theSeacher play with his
pupiIsl" Upon this question there
was wide difference in opinion, and
arguments too numerous to be here
given. Upon one point, however, all
were agreed, namely; that wherever
the teacher may be, whether in the
schoolroom, upon the play ground, or
among the patrons of the district,
he should preserve a dignity becoming
to his position. On motion meeting
adjourned till l:30 p. m.
Afternoon session. The subject of
Business Forms was presented by
Geo. Peterson and discussed by sever
al present. Supt. Murphy urged upon
the teachers the desira 'ility of doing
faithfully the work coming under
this head. Primary Reading WAS
then presented by Miss Kaye with

The Teachers Associations that
have been so far held have been
largely attended and teachers have
evidenced more enthusiasm in pre-
sentation and discussion than has ever
been our lot to observe. All who are
teaching or aspiring to teach will bear
in mind that attendance on Assocla-
tions and Institutes is great step in
the directi of professional prepare
ton, and all who ignore this which is
due to their profession will be consid-
cred as hacking in devotion to their
calling AS well as in public enterprise
and progression.

Sad But True.

New York Stats Zeitung Ger. Dem.)
Upon no member of Mr.. Cleveland's Cab
met did we place higher hopes than upon
Mr.. Bayard. So far his selections for the
diplomatic service may be taken as a criter-
ion of his capacity, we must acknowledge
that we have been victims of an unpleasant
illusion. We cannot see in these appoint
ments any attempt at systematic reform in
our foreign representation.
It has been in vain that Mr.. Bayard has
been shown the great Importance of this
foreign representation upon the develop
meut of our foreign commerce, and its i'm
portance as an exponent of the views of the
American people and of their Legislators
upon economic questions. At least it can
not be discovered that the persons selected
to represent, the industrial and commercial
interests of the United States in the Old
World aud in South America have thus faI
been chosen with this end in view. Taken
as whole, the diplomatic and consular ap,
p9iutments of Mr.. Bayard have been only
of average merit, while some have been the
most atrocious blunders.

The East,

The negotiations for the settlement of the
Afghan question between Russia and Eng
land are dragging their slow length along.
Gladstone appears to be inspired by the
hope that the interminable investigation
will at length so dull the point of national
irritation upon that question in England,
that the fierce feelings aroused by his pacific
policy will gradually subside and that he
can steal back unnoticed iute the confidence
of the English people.
Meanwhile news comes of fresh demands
of concessions from Russia. The acquisi-
tion of Penjdeh by that country is an ac-
complished fact. With willy persistence she
now calls for Meruchak, most important
| frontier position which the Ameer refuses
to cede. The neutral zone is also TO be
abolished by request or demand of Russia
The English or more exactly speaking Glad,
stone, appears to have never failing fund
from which Russia exacts concessions al
will
The Ameer is already showing in public
his dstrust Of English aid. He has retreat
ed from the frontier and removed his treas
ure into the interior at Badakshan. TIL,

sity of increasing the native army in givinl

Bayard Must Go.
Cincinnati Com. Gazette.

Cincinnatl OOnl. OaDeute.
Mr.. Bayard appears to have gone into his
hole for present at last, and is making just as
little disturbance as possible. 1t is an open
secret that the President is sadly disappoint-
ed in him, aud the relations between the two
men have greatly changed In the beginning
of the Administration Bayard was looked
upon by the President with something OF awe
and reverence, and he was closely consulted
upon all matters and deferred to above all
other members of the Cabinet. He was
Cleveland's great man and great statesman,
and looked to give the Administration higt
character in craftsmanship, Now all thai
is changed. The President is disgusted with
Mr.. Bayard and rarely consults him, which
fact is deeply feltby the Secretary of State
and he is to-day humiliated and discourag
ed man. To him and his awful blunderinl
the President charges most of the troubles
of his Administration, and Manning has tax
on his pl ace as the chosen counsellor an
confidant of Mr.. Cleveland.

Al Nuisance.

From early summer until late in the Fall
Market street between Fifth and Ninth
streets, is daily so deluged with water that
it is impossible to drive upon that thorough
fare without having eyes and ears filled, and
face spattered with liquid filth.
Street sprinkling may be decided advan-
tage to Market street merchants, but the
line should be drawn at sprinkling and not
at deluging.
1t is exceedingly mortifying to drive
down Market street on lovely day to find
collar, cuffs and shirt bosom covered with
the liquid offal of the streets, and this con-
dition awaits every one who has the
temerity to use Market street between
Fifth to Ninth streets.
The iuordinate wetting of Market street
as now practiced, is nuisance that calls
for speedy abatement.

tinctive from the religious question.


OF course in entering colored church
such as that at Sixth and Walnut streets,
one sees it under conditions not always SIM
liar to those existing during conference sit
tings. But there are always certain feat
ures of the church services, secondary feat
ures, such as the excellent singing which
work as a strong aid in binding and build
ing up the colored religious communities.
The colored race has the general advantage
over the white of a greater appreciation of
the "poetry of sweet sounds"
They are gifted as rule with superior
vocal talents. This, as an aid in church ex-
ercises, has not been lost sight of! In no.
ticing the comparative choir singing ofwhite
and colored church audiences, one cannot
fail to perceive the advantage of the latter
over the former in natural expression and
power.
In colored choirs there is greater weight
and expression given to to the tenor and base
voices. They form preponderating value
in singing. And this is as it should be.
The chors in the white churches are usual
ly drowned by au excess of high key sopra-
no which in its harsh deluge suhmerges all
the tenor and base-in fact as a rule naught
but the melody is heard. On the contrary
in colored church the tenor and base is al
lowed sufficient volume and restrictions are
placed upon an excess of soprano volume.
1t is that fact that makes their singing more
attractive. Harmony is retained. The nat
ural voice of the negro does not evolve an
excess of shrieking soprano, which in our
churches fill the edifice with a one-coloured
melody. Here the natural taste, the supe-
rior musical taste of the negro is evolved.
1t is more in con6rmity with the tones pro-
ceeding from an organ. In listening to one
of those large instruments we do not hear
an unnecessary intrusion of the soprano OF
melody alone the base and the tenor form
the harmony and form as they should the
larger volume of sound. Why is it then We
tolerate such wrong i'll the make up of ouI
church choirsl There is always too mucl
soprano and an exceeding lack of tenor and
base The result is lack of richness ant
harmony. These conditions are reversed
with commendable good taste by the cooreC
| people.

Inconsistent.
The National Administration Party
without Policy.

Postmaster Palmer of Chicago was re-
moved upon the pretext that he was an act
i've member of the Republican party, and
Mr.. Judd was appointed his successor solely
because of his political machine methods.
President Cleveland has the undisputed
right to make whatever changes he sees
proper in tho Federal offices, but he is not
justified in indulging in wholesale tergiver-
sations. nj @
N,eFs :. IRE in the political history of
this country was the dominant party in such
an unenviable plight as the National De-
mocracy is this day wallowing in. If Presi-
dent Cleveland and his Cabinet had institu-
ted in the early days of the Administration,
well defined line of governmental policy,
instead of mailing ''expediency" on the
national flagstaff, the confidence and re-
spect of the masses would have been assur-
ed
Up to this date the history of the Admin
istration can be thus summed up: a dishy-
washy-slobbering-s g-sentimentality policy to
pull i'll the gudgeons for 1888.
The Democratic party after struggling fol-
its life foI owenty-four years, is to-day abso-
lutely apologizing for its existence, and thai
its national existence is circumscribed is
patent to all.
Political parties cannot subsist, eithe,
upon glitteripg generalities or sickly senti
mentalism.

terprises to have the Administration an
