Be.eflts ofTeachers' Institutes.

The time of the year is near at hand when
the teachers institutes will open at the diff
ferent county seats and institutes of learning
for the benefit of those who are engaged in
the work of our schools. The teachers in
stitute is the school for professional training
for all Of the teachers of the county. 1t often
happens that in single institute Of one or
two weeks, with frst-class instructors, the
teachers of the county will learn better
methods and will get clearer comprehen-
sion of the essential laws OF Psychology and
of imperting knowledge than others have
after completing course at some of the So
called normal schools. Method is the prime
factor of success in every undertaking in
life. The object of the institute should be to
give instruction in the best methods of teach
ing. As a general rule, our country teachers
are we'll enough educated in the branches
which they are required to teach, but there
are great many who have not learned any
other methods than those by which they
themselves were taught. The special train
ing OF teachers at the institute will assist
them great deal in their teaching. The
majority of the failures in the school work of
to-day is caused from the want of Better
methods Of instruction. It is in the teachers
institute where you can learn methods of in
structions and receive suggestions as to
government from those who have attained
such eminence in the profession; where you
have interchange Of opinions and are enabled
to learn whether you are falling into old ruts
or whether you are up with the times in
educational matters. Let all be present at
the institutes this summer, and try to make
them as interesting and profitable as posi-

Ma EDrToA s-As birthday parties SCENT 70
be The rage Just now. and pleasure 70 give
an account of them In the NORTHWEST
90 that absent friends may enjoy
them. We wish to chronicle one
which came on at the residence Of one Of our
neighbors. II seems that when Mrs. Latta
would be at other parties of this nature she
would notice how great delight her lisge
Lord and Master would take to see some one
else surprised. So she thought she would
see how he would like 10 be surprised
in turn and also do honor 10 his 35th BIRTH
day. So things looked somewhat mysterious
around the residence of Mr.. Latta for.two or
three days. Mrs. Latta prepared for this
happy event some days ahead and also asked
her neighbors and friends to assist her,
which they did. Now Mr.. Latta had sort
of tingling sensation up and down his slum-
Der vertebre for two or three days previous
to this. he thought all was not right at
home. So on the day that 35 years ago was
30 interesting to him, he went down on the
river to thresh, telling his wife maybe he
would come home and maybe he would not.
As the sun sank in the western horizon on
the evening of the lst of August, his many
friends and neighbors gathered at his home
in buggies, on foot, and some on horse back
loaded down with baskets filled with (wsll
you know what Mr.. Editor), and proceeded
to take possession of his home. They then
erected tables and loaded them down with
the things that seems to be what man lives
for, and waited the coming of Mr.. Latta.
Well, they waited-hours seemed TO drag and
those who had not eaten anything for two
days, especially for this event, began to feel
like as if their stomachs would make a small
marble. Finally they rugged up horse and
buggy and went after him six miles away.
They knew he could not arrive home for at
least two hours, SO they proceeded to en-
joy themselves. Mr.. Latta arrived in due time
and when he saw the people all around the
house he was truly surprised and when he got
his eye on the table he was surprised more
than ever, (but it was agreeable.) Sothe boys
proceeded to take Mr.. Latta out of the bug
gy and to initiate him into the grand bump
ing degree of Scottish Rite Masonry. After
this interesting event was over they all sat
down to the table and proceeded to make
themselves at home. And they did 80 to such
an extent that the second table had nothing
to eat. Id. .-,......
After this each one proceeded to oongratu-
late Mr.. Latta and wish him 35 more such
occasions as this, and then they went home
feeling that it was good to be there.

WBob Ingersoll, like Blaine and many
other men in the Republican party, has be-
come Democrat in everything but the name.
The change has come around little by little in
the fullness and ripeness of his years, uninfiu-
euced by political aspirations. Colonel
Ingersoll stands squarely with the Democra-
cy on the tariff, on the force bill, and now
he casts his great influence with the party of
the people on the money question. He is q
giant in intellect ane, although he doesn't
believe 1t, an angel of brightness, for he is q
messenger for good to all the people. Here
is what he says about the Republican crim-
inal financial policy:
A wave Of wealth swept over the United
States. Huts became palaces. Tatters be-
came garments, and garments became
robes. Walls were covered with pictures,
floors with carpets, and for the first time in
the history of the world the poor tasted all
changed this paradise into hell, by creating q
money famine.
In 1878 came the crash, and all the Ian
guages in the world cannot describe the
agonies suffered by the American people
from 1873 to 1889. Thousands and hundreds
OF thousands supposed they had enough.
enough for wife and children, and suddenly
found themselves paupers and vagrants.
Business with them stood still. Men stopped
digging coal and ore; they stopped Telling the
forest. The fires died out in the furnaces.
The men who stood in the glare of the forge
were in the gloom of despondency. There
was no hope, no employment for them. The
employer could not sell his product. The
great factories were closed. The working
men were demoralized, and the roads of the
United States were filled with five million
tramps. Every one of them had been resi-
dents of 1heaven." Now reduced to penury,
they wander as tranps and amidst album
dance die of utter wants. @
Do you ask what made this changer

WThe presence in our little city during
the past week of the Hon. ]. N. High, who is
located in one of the departments at Wash
ington, created no little speculation and a
morsel of uneasiness in political circles.
Coming here direct from his duties at WASH
ington, where he is quite near the brim of
grandfather's old hat, it was but natural for
some to suppose that his mission to the fer
tile northwest was for the purpose of feeling
the Republican pulse as to second term for
Harrison. II this be 90 his encouragement
must have been small indeed, for Benny in
stead of making friends in this section has
lost them, and every day comparisons are
made between him and Mr.. Cleveland which
leave him in the eshadow beyond resurrection.
These comparisons are not only made by
Democrats, but by good old line Repu blicans
who.have become disgusted at the administra-
tion of Harrison, and who are outspoken in
declaring that If Harrison was candidate a
second time he could not even carry Ohio!
Others saidhe was sent here by the bosses in
Washington to see how the people were taken
with out Democratic ~ postmaster. Now,
if this was his mission, he, must have left with
a pretty big flea in his ear, for Mr.. Jones is
giving good satisfaction, with the exception
to those Republicans who persist in placing
him in the Democratic column. To this class
the Hon. J. N. belongs, any one of which
would be tickled at the downfall Of our pres
ent postmaster.
