Meeting Of The Normal institute.

On the 9th day of August, the teachers of Nevada county assem- bled for the purpose of instruction under the auspices of this instit IL ton.
 The teachers of this county have manifested deep interest in the work proving it by their daily atten- dance, the roll call being over 40.
 The Institute was favored by an address from Prof. Wood F.. Thomp. son, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, in which he showed forth the duties of teachers and di- rectors, also the deficiency of our school laws.
 And right as this juncturc we, as teachers of Nevada county, desire to call the attention of our legislature to these facts. In our experience as teachers, we feel the necessity for a law giving us county superintendents. We know that such would be very beneficial to the school interests throughout the state.
 During the progress of the insti- tute very excellent paper on Ian guage lessons and primary grammar was read by Mrs. Ella McRae, and also one by Mrs. T. J. Crawford, on Descriptive and Historical Geogra- phy.
 We regret the disappointment of Prof. Wood F.. Thompson, on Tues day night at NJ, F.. church, who was expected to lecture, said disappoint- ment being occasioned by the Loyal Citizens meeting at the same time aud place, not having heen informed of his appointment.
 We, the committee, desire to re- turn our sincere thanks to Prof. J. J. Doyne, for his kind and thoughtful treatment toward the members of this institute, his gentlemanly bear ing, scholarly attachments and valu- blc instructions that we have receiv- ed from him,

Every body received proper attention.- Good order was preserved. There was nothing disorderly on the occa- sion. While it was given especially to the colored people, there was es pecial attention given to the few white people who were invited and were present. Their praise for it's entire management was we'll merit ed. am glad to be able to say that the leading colored peo- pie are showing themselves capable of showing themselves, and see that whatever is to the interest of white farmer is to the interest of the col ored farmer. They need the same soil, the same amount of rain and sunshine, and they are coming to see they need the same kind of po- litical association and thought. They should be encouraged in all their eff forts of self-improvement. Mir. James Steel deserves credit for the encouragement and aid shown them in this entertainment. will long remember the pleasant impressions made on me on that day, and will cherish the hopes it generated.

Indictment Against the U. L. p.

The Dispatch last week contained an indictment containing nine charg- es against the Democrats. We have replied to it and the reply will be found in another column. We have for six weeks been trying to get the Dispatch to answer some questions. We now charge the l.. l.. P. as fol- lows
 1st. It does not endorse the Wheel demands because it is opposed to a reduction of taxation as demand ed by the fifth demand of the State Wheel.
 2dd. It has repudiated this de- mand in order to abtain the support of the republicans, and hopes to ob- tain office by pandering to the high protection tariff idea.
 3rd. That it's platform favors woman suffrage which would over- turn our political, social and domes- tic happiness.
 4th. That the system of pensions demanded by it's platform would bankrupt the government and furth- CT enrich the north at the expense of the south.
 9th. That the owning of railroads as demanded by its platform would increase the national debt to nine bill lion dollars.
 6th. They have established ring in Prescott to central the county of- iicers and form them out among thier pets.
 1th. That they do not give the farmers a fair representation on their ticket.
 Now, we trust the Dispatch will answer these charges instead of hoisting its smiling cot.

Woman suffrage is, by the Nation al platform thrown aside for the states to consider.-Dispatch.

You see Mr. Mills in 1881 thought the tariff was light and should be continued to pay off the bonds The tariff is not heavy now as then the bonds havr not been paid. Yet Mir. Mills has quit fighting Wall Street and is now bowling, "the tar iff is running the country" How is this?
 Well we can tell you how it was. In 1881 there was 2 largo amount of hoIds of the government due and they could be paid and the money kept out of the treasury. Now all bonds which can be paid have been paid and there is no way to get the money out among the people; consc- quently when it goes in then It goes to augment the sarplu, and is taken out of circulation, Mir. Mills now wants to reduce the tax and stop this surplus from accu- mulating in the treasury. He is bowling tariff just like Calhoun, Jackson and Benton howled about it and he will howl on until we get relief.
