TEACHERS' MEETINQ.
Is it any wonder that many an old
Oregon republican falters when asked as
he is now, to swallow the gold standard?
For years he has been taught that the
gold standard was banelul to the pro
ducer.
The Oreconian calls Geo. C. Brownell
a''common liar, grader and dead beat"
and claims that he offered to sell out

insinuations mml be false.

There was an unusual good attendance
of teachers in West Oregon Citv last
Saturday at the regular monthly meet
ing of the Clackamas Oounty Teachers'
Association. The meeting was held in
the AVest Side school building, which
afforded a splendid view of Oregon City,
its suburbs, Mt. Hood and the country
for miles around. Superintendent
Starkweather presided, and Miss Jennie
E. Rpwen was secretary pro tem in place
of the regular secretary, Miss Fannie G
Porter, who was absent.
Prof. R. A. Heritage, of Salem, made
a short address on music, and spoke of
the benefits to be derived by teaching it
in connection with the regular course of
studies.
Miss Harrietta Dotson, of Pf.rkplace,
presented "Supplementary Reading,"
in a very -interesting way. She recom
mended that something new should te
given to the pupils in order that their
interest would continue. Many good
suggestions were made, and her remarks
brought forth considerable discussion
Prof. T. J. Gary, J. C. Zinser.H.S
Strange and Miss Ella Boehlke, each
made suggestions on the topic.
Prof. T. J. Gary introduced the fol
lowing resolution, which was unanimous
ly adopted, and prefaced the same by
stating that there was a universal
sentiment in favor of electing a practical
school man for superintendent of public
instruction.
Resolved, by the Clackamas County
Educational Association, that the best
interests of the public school system of
Oregon demand the election to the office
of state superintendent of public instruc
tion an officer of superior executive

experience in public school work, and an
educator of broad culture and compre
hensive knowledge of the theory and
practice of teaching.
Resolved, That the various political
parties of this state be and are hereby
required to nominate for that office some
educator prominent in public school
work, and throroughly acquainted with
the needs of the public schools of Oregon
On motion a committee was appointed

and in some cases showed a remarkable
increase.
Bomb six months or moie ago a laborer
in the national treasury building at
Washington was caught with $28 of
stolen money in his pocket. To ascertain
the extent of this leak the"high officials"
set 50 men at work counting the coin on
hand. The shortage was recently ascer
tained to be $859. It cost $15,1100 of the
people's money to discover that some
one had robbed the people of $859.
Weekly Excursions In Through Cars

Another through tourist car to the
East has been arranged to run out of

and Chicago, over the O. R. & N., Ore

tickets to the East.
Wi are being told by our g. o. p. gold
bugs that the "great national party has
more than redeemed every pledge made
at St. Louis in 189(1." Let us look the
platform over and see : One plank that
was carried with a whoop was tho Cuban
resolution, another was the Hawaiian,
another was the international bi metalic
plank and there was something said
about wages, but what is the use of
reading further, the g. o, p. are such
liars, you know. Ex.

F. L. Poimlexter, recently from tho

Poindexter is a gold democrat, but it ii
supposed that the politics of tho paper
will bo republican. J. H. Baglo, who
leaves, is tho first white republican
editor that has been in Oregon City for
several years and if he had continued as
editor he would have done much to
unite the republicans in this county for
the coming campaign.
