Mr. Barth's Idea Of How 1t Should De
Arranged for and Managed.

Joseph Barth was working among
the merchants to-day In an effort to
interest them in giving q street fair
this year. Mr.. Barth's idea is to se-
cure the serviceg Of managers and to
pay them literally for .heir time.
81 think that the Street Fair should
be arranged for upon a different
basis" said Mr.. Barth this morning.
'fThe merchants Of the city cannot
afford to neglect their business to take
charge OF the matter without COM
.pensation and / thlrk that they should
be paid literally; At least q manager
and an assistant. Under this plan /
think that the merchants would sub
scribe literally and that we would
have the best street Fair yet. The
one held last year was . grand thing
and brought thousands Of dciiars to
Mexico, to say nothing OF the adver-

Mr.. 3. 0. WATERS a
He Comes Right Out in Keetin' and
Gives His Candid Opinion About
Audrain and Gov. Stephens.

The following communication from
Mr. e. O. Waters, Of Vandalia, was
addressed to the editors of the In
teiligencer and is taken from that
paper by the LEDGER. Under date Of
June 25th Mr.. Waters Gays:
'sIn view Of the comments In various
papers In the county and State in
regard to JEFFERSON City convention, /
ask space to say that I have always
tried to do what l conceived to be
right without fear Of condemnation or
hope Of reward. do not claim that
my acts are always correct, but I do
claim the unrestrained right Of re-
fecting the dictates Of my own iudg-
ment and that without the slightest
reflection on others who may have
looksd upon the matter different
from myself.
81 claim to be a Democrat Of the
J~effersonian school, and shall never
yield my inherent right to think and
act, nor shall / refuse to accord to
others the same right | retain for my
self.
1.-THE gentlemen who were on the
delegation with me at Jefferson City
are my friends and our Judgment was
Of mi accord in voting for Ex-Gov.
Stone, Hon. d. A. Ball and Col. Wet
more, but I could not concur with
them in the propriety Of voting for
Hon. u. n. HARDER instead OF Gov.
Stephens.
"rhe Democrats Of Audrain county
by q goodly majority, OF whom l
dared to be In the minority, decided
four years ago that Gov. Stephens
was the man for the place, and l fail
to Q wherein any act of his adj
mlnistration has failed to reflect his
well known proclivities at the time Of
his election, and my candid Judgment
Is that q majority Of the Democrats 10
the county, IL left untrammeled, think
to-day Ike myself, that Gov.
Stephens should have been elected q
delegate to the National Convention.
"This unholy TRADE Of continually
trying through the "holier than
thou" policy Of coercing, or reading
someone out Of the party, has alone
been the source Of all our national de-
feats since the birth OF our arch
enemy, the Republican party, and
such q policy tolerated will continue
to land us, body and soul, under that
political supremacy which now ex-
lists and we SO much deplore.
"others may act 90 they choose, but
for myself I shall strive to unite the
Democratic party and hold lite
principles para mount to the personal
ambition Of any man, contenting my
self with whatever results from a duty
co1scientiously and fe~arlessly per-
formed. "EDwN O. WATERs.n

THE 4 INSTITUTE.
a Large Attendance at the Sessions
Being Held in Laddonia-Able
Instructors Present.

Correspondence Of the Ledger.
LADDoNIA, Mo-, June 25,-Our In.
stitute opened this morning with only
two teachers absent. Most Of the
teachers remained In town over Sun
day and sttended the various churches.
The people have shown the teachers
many courtesies, although the rainy
weather has prevented many from
attending the sessions OF the institute.
The instructors are doing excellent
work. Prof. McMillan's name at the
head Of any educational enterprise
means success, ss We ali know. His
instruction in pedagogic and State
government has thrown much light on
methods for teachers to adopt In their
daily work. Prof. J. W. Scott has
fully demonstrated his high attain
ments in science by his methods and
experiments in teaching Physiology
and Geography. Prof. 3. 8. Patter-
son has proved himself invincible In
Mathematics, Ancient History and
Physical Geography. The versatility
Of these two gentlemen supplemented
by their good looks and eligibility,
seems to have created lasting impress
sions on some Of our teachers. Prof.
A. 3. Faulkner, as teacher OF Litera-
ture and Language, has shown how
these usually difficult subjects can be
and should be brought into all grades
Of our school work. Prof. Fauikner's
intense earnestnesa and thorough
scholarship has been an Inspiration to
the teachers and will do much toward
raising the standard Of education In
Audrain county.
Several more teachers whose terms
Of school closed last week viii add
their names to the roll this week.
Miss Waddington, who was called
away by the serious condition Of her
mother, who has been sick six months,
has returned. Her mother is tempo
rarily better. F. J. Williams, Of Mid
dletown, was also called homs Satur-
day by bis mothers Aickness. He has
returned and reports his mother Inn
proved. Prof. strother is with us re-
newing old friendships.
Prof. L. J. Hall, assistant secretary
to State Superintendent Darlington,
arrived yesterday and to-day at 1890
gave q very entertaining address to
the teachers. After complimenting
the work Of the Audrain teachers and
speaking Of the rapid advancement OF
school interests of the State, he dis
cussed the following questions:
1. Better physical surroundings.
2. Equalization Of the length OF
the school term throughout the State.
8. Articulation OF all the schools OF
the State.
4. Thorough supervision BY coun-
ties.
s. Higher standard Of scholarship.
6. Systematizing school work.
2. The encouragement OF higher
ideals in pupils and patrons by sup
plying libraries and supplementary
reading.
Prof. Hall's address bristled with
practical suggestions and was full Of
encouragement to the true teacher
and full Of hope TO those who are
iaboring to advance the cause OF edu.
cation.
In the weekly Of next week l will
give you some additional notes and q
roster OF the teachers Of the county aa
nearly as can be ascertaIned ct this
