An exchange says that alcohol
will remove grass stains from
summer clothes. The exchange
is right. 1t will also remove
summer clothes and also spring
and winter clothes, not only from
the man who drinks it but also
from his wife and children. 1t
will remove household furniture
from the house and eatahles from
the pantry the smiles from the

TEACHERS WAGES

The weary and care-worn
school teacher will soon be en-
joying a few weeks of much
needed rest after a term of eight
or nine months of tiresome men,
tai and physical labor. Many
persons who have had no exper-
ience in the teaching line seem
to think that any common school
teacher whose wages are from
$25 to $40 per month ought to
make an independent fortune in
a short time. Let such a one
stop and consider what is ex'
pected of a teacher. In the first
place she is expected to be well
dressed at all times, which is
no small item of expense. She
is expected to buy all the latest
books, and subscribe for all the
popular educational journals of
the day attend teachers meet
ings whenever and wherever
held, and to spend from three
10 five days at an institute. All
these requirements are attended
by no small expense, and the
teachers who comply with them
will find at the close of the year
that they have very small por-
ton of their earnings to lay up
for a "rainy day"
Do not understand by the above
assertions that such require
ments are useless. But when it
has become almost absolutely
necessary for a teacher to attend
all such meetings as those who
have supervision over them shall
appoint; it should be also re-
auired of, the board of education
and directors that they pay their
teachers such wages as will en-
able them to attend and have
enough of their earnings left to
last them until the school term
begins again.

THE NOMINATING SPEECHES

The announcement is made,
and apparently with some author
ity, that the nominating speeches
in the coming Republican Ma
tional Convention are to be COM
paratively brief. That informa-
ton will be generally acceptable
The thousands who attend the
sessions of national conventions
of either party are always pleased
when leading and well-known
men take the floor to speak. 1t
affords them a chance to see what
such men are and to satisfy a
natural curiosity. That is one Of
the features attracting the ordi-
narily great attendance at these
gatherings. If, viewer, a
speaker, no matter what his
prominence before the country,
spreads out his talk and rambles
and says things not to the point,
neither delegates nor spectators
make much effort to conceal their
impatiencc.
Many striking nominating
speeches have been made in ma
tional conventions, and some
have been fat failures. Two of
the best nominating speeches
ever made were by Robert G..
Ingersoll, in presenting Blaine to
the Republican convention 1876,
and by Daniel Dougherty, pre-
septiug Hancock to the Demo
cratic convention in 1880, both
in Cincinnati. Both were brief,
one occupying not more than ten
minutes in the delivery, and the
ether less than five, but they
were models of eloquence; they
were impressive, and the men,
ory of them has lasted longer
than that of most other speeches
on similar occasions.
The great speeches placing in
nomination the candidates before
the historic convention of 1880
were somewhat longer, but
nearly or quite all of them were
delivered within twelve or fifteen
minutes each. These speeches
were made at a Saturday night
session, after the convention had
been at work for five days and
had not reached the balloting for
a candidate. Conkling and Gar
field were the great speakers on
that occasion, but they did not
weary their hearers WIN pro-
longed and unnecessary effort.
No candidates interests are pro
NOTED by a tiresome speech.
The fact is, with all the other
business cleared away those who
are engaged in the proceedings
of a convention, as we'll as the
spectators, are anxious to get to
the balloting for a nomination,
and, therefore not very, patient
with long, strung-out speeches.
The coming convention may even
improve on much of the past in
this matter.
