lniquities Of the Force Bill.

Under the imperial scheme for over
throwing the freedom Of elections in
this country the chief supervisors are
to be appointed for life. While the
whole electoral machinery is placed
in their hands, they are put beyond
the reach Of any power but that Of
the party controlling the Govern
ment. At the same time the appro-
priations to defray the expenses OF
the colossal machinery OF Corruption
with Coercion. amounting to many
millions of dollars, are to be made
permanent. The object Of this is to
put it beyond the power OF a future
House Of Representatives to with
hold appropriations Of public money
for paying a vast army Of supervisors
deputy marshals, canvassers and
spies. Thus the enormous engine OF
Federal power is to be made per
petual encumbrance upon the
people.
While Returning Boards of the in
famous pattern, and with the means
of surrounding the polls with Fed
eral soldiers upon any partisan plea
of necessity, the machinery for de-
priving the people of the immemorial
right OF conducting their own cleo
tions would be as perfect as the in
genuity of John l. Davenport and his
Congressional assistants could make
it. The proposed amendments in the
Senate committee take nothing from
the completeness Of this scheme for
subjecting the ballot-bo1 to the abso-
lutte control Of a monster Of central
power in Washington, with its ten
tacles stretching out in every district
in the land. The pretended ameliora-
lions in the Senate only serve to re-
veal its hideousnsss in clearer light.
1t would be impossible Tor the Amer
lean people to remain passive and in
different in the presence OF this men
ace to public liberty. Let the pro-
tests against it be sent up from every
city, village and hamlet in the land

The Ieachers' Institute.

We gave in last weeks issue part
OF the proceedings of the Jefferson
County Teachers Institute. The fol-
lowing is the remainder, viz
WEDNESDAY.
Prof. Crago discussed "How To
Teach Addition, Subtraction" He
was followed by Mr.. II. l.. Hout on
primary reading. His lecture was
instructive and entertaining. Prof.
Crago took up "Orthoepy," which he
handled in q mastery manner. He
then recited 1.-The Draw Must Be
Closed" after which he delivered a
lecture on "How to Teach Language"
Mr.. o. NJ. Harris on School Govern
ment," followed by Mr.. II. l.. Hout
and Prof. Crago.
THURSDAY.
Prof. G. w. Banks illustrated his
method Of teaching fractions to be-
ginners. He was followed by Prof.
Crago in a very mastery talk upon
the same subject. The discussion
drifted into how to present the study
to advanced pupils, and many OF the
teachers made short talks.
Mr.. E. G.. Williams was called upon
writing. He delivered quite a long
talk.
Prof. Crago then took up decimal
fractions.
Mr.. Crittenden discussed "How to
Teach Primary Grammer." Mr.. Crit
tenden is a live young teacher, judg-
ing from his institute work.
10 Al; caccinn-prnf GtrQ on
delivered an able address on Manu-
al Training" Rev. Mr.. Campbell, OF
Charlestown Female Seminary, also
delivered a very instructive and en-
PERTAINING impromptu talk.
FRIDAY.
Mr.. H. L. Hout handled in mas
terly manner, percentage, Partial
PAYMENTS and Discounts" Prof.
Crago then followed on Moral Train
ing" showing the great moral respon-
sibility resting upon the teacher.
That the State holds the teacher re-
sponsible for the character OF her cit
liens.
Although County Superintendent
Schaeffer was in poor health all week,
he did everything to make the Insti-
tute a success.
The only thing that detracted much
was the nOn-attendance of the citizens
of Charlestown. They take very lit
tie interest in school work, and AIN
sure they ought not complain OF hav-
ing poor Public Schools. Public
Schools will never prosper in Charles
town, so long as they receive the at
tention they now receive.
Charlestown ought to be the banner
district Of this county. She has had
all the Institutes and all the noted In
stitute Instructors to stimulate and
educate her people.
This years Institute was success,
and it benefited all who took part in
it. Prof. Crago is an energetic school
man and up with the times.

more Of the time of the United States
