FRIDAY DECEMBERS 1, 1883 II stems to bt "Keifer's grand eld party." The ticket will likely be Arthur and Htttea. Tee Widow Mahene can now be had for the Raking. The Democrats mean to make a stand for redeoed taxation. The local ieiue in Georgia are pro habitation, no fences and taxed dogs. The Speakership hss seldom proved a stepping-stone to anything higher. When analysed, the Dantille affair does not show even the remnant of a bloody ehtrt. la 1983 we may hare a free trade. In 1883 all that we demand is tariff reform. The Danville Issne ia too thin a cloak to keep any thivering party If there be anything in the world that sends a shadder through the grand eld party it ia the mention of "the eld ticket" Secretary Teller says the lad tan is improving. That is more than can be said for the tramp and the Motmon. m m m Depress ioa in the iron trade is not dne to a lask of protection, but is cano ed by too mnoh of it, in short, by over production. The shotting down of a few iron mills and decreased production is the first de velopment in the little game of the pro The United States Senate, as now constituted, is a gigantic fortress, be hind which corporations and monod ies stand securely intrenched. If somebody could paint the smile thai wreathed Conkling's visage as he read Blaine's last bid for the Presiden cy, it would make a great historic pic ture. m m m Arizona aspires to be the leading copper producing country on the continent It claims that the output this year will double that of last sea- The true attitude for the parties to assume towards the colored race is this : They are entitled to all the po litioei rights which white people en- Joy. g The Republicans are willieg to give the colored men all the civil rights they want except the right to hold office. They have to draw the line somewhere. The outrage mil) has fallen into de cay and its grists excite only contempt and ridicule. There onght to be enough life left in the Republican party to in vent something new. We think the Republicans are mak ing a mistake ia dragging the bloody shirt out of its cerements. There is a big thing in the surpi as-revenue racket and they should give all their attention to it. The Democratic party stands in csm servstivs lines with respect to the tariff and every other issue. It wants con servative taxation and conservative government. In this consists the prosperity and happiness of the pee- m m Mahone quietly advisee the Pres ident that he proposes to head the Republican delegation from Virginia in the next National Convention. From this circumstance Mr. Arthur is reminded that a man should always know on which sick of the bread the butter is. Mr. Randall does well to corns for ward early in the session to oppose the careless r reckless passage of deficien cy bills to repair some lack in the pre ceding Congress. All such schemes should be referred to the appropria tions committee and subjected to the same careful examination as the bills which eome regularly before the House each year. mmm It is officially announced that Henry Yillard has resigned the presi dency of the Oregon Transcontinental and the Oregon Railway and Naviga tion Company ; that W- Endicot. Jr., of Boston, succeeds him as president of the Oregon Railway and Transcontinen tal Company, and T. Jefferson Ceolidge of Boston) as president of the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company.

Editors Democrat : The Butte scboo1 closed the fall term with the usual literary performance practiced in the common schools. At noon a well prepared oyster dinner was in readiness for the teacher, pupils and the invited guests in the school room below.

All partook of the dinner heartily, for the benefit of those who were not oyster lovers the ladies furnished plenty of other substantial, such as cakes, pies, candies, nuts, etc. , so that all could enjoy the dinner. After noon instrumental music was furnished by Mr. J. H. Daniels, the Sbonninger agent, having one of his first-class organs in the ball above added life to the occasion.

Neles aad ielcctlaai. BSsjsHSsaaai Teachers and others Interested in the cause of public education are lavlted to contribute to this column. Mr William Alderson, formerly princi pal ef the Prlaevllle Public school. Is at present visiting relatives and friends In itrownsvllio. Mr Alderson Is a good tear her, aad it Is understood that bo will remain In Linn oonaty. A Uoaton teacher made a speech to her pupils Just before the last term of school olosed, She said she hoped that they would oome back to school resolving that their behavior should be perfect end that they would give up all had habits. When she had oeooluded the speech, a little girl In ths book ef ths room Jussped up and said : "The same to yon ma'am !" The duties of ths teacher are many and varied, and nothing but an earn oat devo tion to our calling will enable in, at all times, to exercise patience, firmness Judg ment, kindness and oheerfulneas, which are essential to a well regulated school. Let us remember thatour perplexities snd duties oome singly aad we have hut te meet them one at a time. The duet, "Lullaby," as sung by the little Misses Eva Cowan aud Ore Ballard, of Lebanon, has elicited favorable mention from various audiences. That lovely mu sic holds' the hearts of listeners captive. The diapason blends the true material with the Juvenile ; and there 1 just enough alto Intermingled to leave the mind to gaae upon the soloran contrast between now snd the d aya of "lullaby." No finer selection can be put on the program for the entertainment to be given In connec tion with the Btato Teachers' Association at Salem. The new school law of Washington Ter rltory contains a good many excellent provisions. It has the compulsory law or 109, making It obligatory upon all child ran between eight and eighteen years of age to attend school at loast three months In a year. It also provides that In ail in corporated towns aad cities, the city as- seasment roll shall be used to compute special tax os upon, aad makes the school clerk of such districts the collector of such taxes. It gives county superintendents $100 per annum, and compels teachers to attend county Institutes, allowing their time to go on, as though they were teach ing school. It la popularly believed that all profes sions, except one, must be learned by tudy and practice In their own particular Unas, but that teaching the most Impor tant of all professions, does not require any special training. A greater mistake eould not bo made, A knowledge of geog raphy, arithmetic, and the spelling book will not make a person a successful teach er. Home of oar college graduates could not teach a country school, becauee they have never learned to teach. Our normal schools and county Institutes are intended to aid persons In learning the science and art of teaching, and jdl who wish to be come successful teachers ought to attend them. "Iowa Teacher."
