THE EVENING CONFERENCE.

NEW YORK. July 12th.-At the Conference
OF the Republican National Executive Com
mittee with the the Presidents of the Re-
publican State Leagues and their commit
tees tonight, the following was adopted:
ResOlued That the National Republican Com
mi tee recommends to each of the State Central
committee of the several States that they
recognize State League organizations of the Re
publican Clubs and give them such aid and
support as may be within their power.
Secretary Humphrey, of the League. said
tonight that the National Committee had
requested that, as far as possible, all public
meetings throughout the country should
be held under the direction of the League
and local clubs. This would not conflict
with the work of the National and State
Committees who generally had charge of
national and State speakers and their ap-
pointments.

ITS INCIDENTS, ACCIDENTS, AND RESULTS O.

LOCAL INTEREST.
 A heavy rain on Monday carried off most of the snow and ice, making the streets of Stafford Springs to be almost impossible at times by reason of the tor rents of water that flowed, of which the sewerage system could carry off but small portion. But for the frozen ground and surface ice great damage would have resulted to the roads, and as it was con- siderable was occasioned.
 The greatest inconvenience comes from the washing away of the N. l.. N. railroad bridge over the Quaboag river, just east of the Palmer depot, and as most of the high way bridges in the vicinity were also eith- CT washed away, made unsafe, or for time impossible, passengers could only be transferred between trains by tramring mile or more on foot, or by riding very much greater distance, and mails were ex- exchanged on Tuesday with the same diff icnlty. A temporary bridge will not be ready for use before Saturday, and no freight trains will be run until that time. The high water prevented the running of the Mineral Springs mill on Tuesday, and large number of employees of the company engaged in the annual clearing out of the ice in the cove above the Spring street bridge, which helped dam back the water. By the use of powder and levers the mass was sent down the stream about noon. Julius Converse was standing on the ice when the loosening of mass let him into the water. Those standing upon the wall reached out and assisted him out, and one of his shoulders was d'slocated in doing this. Drs. Smith and Newton re- paired damages.
 The damage to the New London North ern railroad between Palmer and Norwich is estimated at $2O,O
 The water on East river was the highest known since 1877, the wings of the Granite mill dam, re built ill 1877, being flowed over for the first time.
 A pier of the Burleigh bridge on the N. l.. N. road between Palmer and Three Rivers was partially destroyed, buthas been made safe. There was much damage done to highways, bridges and other property in the vicinity of Palmer. The mills of J. H. Smith and J. s. Holden < Go. were flood ed, and the entire loss Tn that vicinity will exceed 5000. A bridge on spur track of the Central road at Gilbertville had to be blown mp with dynamite in order to re lieve gorge formed by the rising Ware river.

COMMUNICATION
TEACHERS AND TASK MASTERS


 The public have not held teachers to their true responsibility. We send young lad or young girl to school, and find that while we are paying out great deal of money for them they are gaining nothing. We complain, and are informed that our children are not industrious, and they 5o not seem interested ill their studies, that they are absorbed in play, etc, etc. In ninety-nlne cases in hundred our disap- pointment is entirely the fault of the teach CT. He or she is simply incompetent for the duty they have undertaken A first class teacher always has good pupils. Lack of interest in study IS always the result of poor teaching. We send boy to college and find that he regards his studies as grind, that he is only interested in getting good marks, and that he is getting no schol- arly delights. We inquire and find him in the hands of tutor without experience, who really pretends to be no more than a task master, and who knows nothing, and seems to care nothing, about the office of teaching. The placing of large masses of young men in the hands of inexperienced persons, who do not pretend to be more than to set tasks and record the manner in which they are performed, is gross im- position of the college upon a trusting pub- lie, and it is high time that an outcry so determined and persistent is raised against 1t that 1t shall procure a reform.

stand it any longer, aud he got up and

stand it any longer, aud he got up and changed his quarters.
 Right down close to the state house we went. where we could see the little beds through the window, that everybody had to make up his own. One of our boys, that's in the mill part of the time, said he hated to do some of the things he had to do there, but he'd rather do that than to make beds. They's lots of 'em there boys I mean, and girls, and they go to school every day, only they don't have to co. cox it's right there. I'd like to see 'em all settin' down to supper some night. We saw two China boys-wan't they? and some more down in the barn-yard, when we went around by that sharp corner and off onto the quarry road again.
 Pretty soon we saw school-house' They was having their afternoon recess there. Teacher said we must wave there, for there was teacher there that uster be our'n. So we did. The school-house was up ever so high above us on hill. A couple of the boys came slashing along down through the deep snow across the lots. But we were too smart for them our horses, I mean. It was grand sight to see the quarry. Some of us had never seen it before. We wished some of the folks had been to work there, though. We uster see train-load of the stone rushing past us every night when we went home from school, and we wanted to see them getting it out. But its too cold to work at it now.
 We had great time with an old gobbler just below there. How ridiculous any thing does look strutting round and gob' bling and SO did he-awful. We've liked it, and made him gobble all we could
 We'd all seen Monson Center, 80 VIC didn't mind so much about that, only the rlde, and folks bowed and smiled at us, and touched their hats. We drove round through Hampden avenue, and back up tc the post-ofice. There the mail and the corn-cakes, and even the dog got aboard, and made us the greatest lot of fun. He made us make more noise than we meant to make there, but guess it's all right. The corn cakes came all right, and we ain't heard anything about it since.
 There was a funny little present for one of the girls, came aboard there, too, that one of the boys spent his ten cents for, that he was goin' to treat the boys With How's that for shine!
 So we went along up back home, but there was only two of us got of when we got there. They rode up to the school ~~ the factory how we did cheer and cheer. Teacher didn't care much though if we had got our comedies. When we got to the school house it was just four o'clock. There was good fire yet, so we could get nice and warm if we wanted to. What a hunt we had, like pigs in the straw, after a soap-stone that, come to find out, was left behind in the school-house all the time. Some of us went along back home, had ride, you see, and o hadn't we had just the splendidest time! We had been clear round Mt. Bunyan and Mt. Dmpling, just like figure eight.
 It was the first sleigh-ride our school ever had, but, bet cookey, it won't be the last.
 P. s.-Now, if you think my geography lesson is all in & muddle, don't blame me. That's the way with geographies mp in Monson-so they say.
 Yours truly, DITTO.

THE Reading coal miners have been re- ported as about to resume work, but there is yet delay If they go back it will be be- cause they are starved to it. Were this strike of the miners an independent act it would be supported by general public sympathy. It is unfortunate in it's association with the Reading railroad strike, the assigned cause for which was too frivolous for serious con- sideration. Meanwhile coal continues to ad- vance, and the public wonders if the coal monopolists really want the strikers to re- sume work.

GEN. SHER1DEN and G. ". Child also en- phatically refuse to be considered for the republican nomination for the presidency. Gen. sheriden very sensibly considers his present military office, good for life, to be worth more than four years term of the presidency. Mr. Child has never been pol itician in the sense of seeking position for himself, and is but consistent with his past life in declining one now. He would make a fine president. The following list of names probably includes that of the next republican nominee, unless the convention shall compel MT. Blaine to become such: John Sherman, Hawley, Allison, Lincoln, Depew, Hiscock. Mckinley, Harrison.

Defamation Made Final.

Mr.. Blaine repeats, in language that
does not admit of Misrepresentation or
doubtful construction, his final deter
mination not to permit his name to be
used in connection with the presidential
nomination. So much he has conceded
to the innuendos of his enemies, and
could not understand that to charge
him with insincerity was not the part
of friendship. He reverts to the well
known fact that he has long been prac-
tically settled upon this course, waiting
only for the proper occasion to say to
his party at large what he has said
without reservation to his personal
friends. That a man who has been
once nominated and defeated should
not become again candidate is ger
eral principle which may or may not be
true, according to circumstances. We
need not, however, dwell upon this,
which is incidental Mr.. Blaine's
stronger and final reason, as he said in
his Florence letter, and has said many
times before, is personal and private.
He does not feel that he is equal to the
burden and fatigue of another presiden-
tial campaign. The sacrifice of vitality
which a contest for the presidency de-
mands is tremendous. The strain of a
campaign for inferior place has sent
many a strong man to his grave. The
highest honors will not compensate for
broken health and o shortened life. 1t
is enough that Mr.. Blaine and all the
members of his family are thoroughly
agreed upon this point. To doubt his
sincerity heretofore has been an insult
to him. To revive that doubt now
would be gratuitous cruelty. Mr.. Blaine
has years before him which will be full
of possibilities of usefulness and honor.
He wisely chooses these rather than to
stake life itself upon the issue of anoth-
er campaign. It was not needed that
he should repeat what he has already
said But his frank avowal that he
will not permit his name to be used
again as a candidate, under any cir
cumstances, will quiet the rumors
which owe their origin to his bitterest
foes.
The above editorial of the sPioneer
Press" virtually settles the question of
Mr.. Blaine's nomination, question of
no small Importance considering the
renown'of one of the greatest states
men America has produced. He re-
signs to private life of usefulness and
honor, ever remembered by that party
whose cause he has unreseryedly ex-
pounded. ~

The Mankato Democrat says far.
mer was in Mankato last week with
two splendid beeyes, weighing 1920 and
ITO pounds, and after vain attempts
could only get,$21.00 for the lightest
animal, which was less than two cents
per pound. And the Democrat doesn't
like it. The Democrat is free trade
advocate, and by its reasoning a duty
on any article enhanses its price. The
Democrat should advocate a heavier
duty on cattle, so that its farmer friend
can get more for the next pair of beeves
he takes to Mankato.

The initial steps of political cam
roaign, of whatever Importance, bear
principally on the import of succeed
ing measures, and nothing SO directly
influences the character of the ultimate
issue as the character of the prime and
creative impulse.
Nominations made by caucus,
measures inaugurated at a town-meet-
ing, naturally bear the political robe of
the electors present, and a nominee
introduced to the public at large neces-
sarily represents the voice of the ruling
majority which spoke in his favor.
Nothing can change the expression
primarily stamped on his countenance
the candidate will throughout the cam
paign bear the character allotted to
him at his nomination. To express dis
satisfaction with his demeanor, with
his political tendencies, is of course
political privilege, but will not reverse
the steps in favor of those who failed to
express their Misrepresentation before ad-
verse electors exerted their influence,
and gave the nomination a character
with which one cannot sympathize. 1t
is therefore of absolute Importance
for every voter, having the welfare of
his district at heart, to express his opin-
ion unreservedly at meetings of his dis
trict, to battle against contrary opinion
in public debate at political caucus,
for by no other means can the tide be
stayed which may lead the people
astray or stamp the character of politi-
cal nomination with corruption.
We forfeit our right of nomination if
we fail to exert our influence from the
start, and of whatever force and power
our future criticism may be, one good
word at the right time, i. e. at the town
meeting or the Ecaucus is worth more
than dozen phrases spread broadcast
to the winds after the train has begun
to move.
One energetic and fair minded voter
can hinder the nomination about to be
made He can exert his eloquencee
and lay claim to public attention
when the first swell of the political
wave is felt, and right then and there
stamp the character of nominations
with truth and sincerity, with a coun.
tenance in sympathy with. his ideas.
An open and well attended caucus is
one in which interested and eager vot-
ers, with the welfare of the community
at heart, and, participated thanks to their
fervor, exercised in behalf of the common
good, no political rings dare openly as
sail public opinion. No "bossism'' will
rule if the voters make it an object to
suppress it, and all political scheming,
if active in an unloyal cause, may be
disguised on the instant.
The'caucus we'll attended, the situa-
ton thoroughly discussed, delegates Or
candidates not identified with rings and
bossism, nominated or elected, and the
election will prove one of sicerity and
for the people best.
