Even though Europe should cut
down its purchases of our manu
factures, we should be prosperous
if our factories were busy and our
workingmen in receipt of high
wages.as they were in 1880-92. But
the prediction that our products
whether raw or manutactured, are
likely to be shut out from European
markets has no substantial tounda
tion. says the New York Commer
cial. Europe must have our pro
vision or go hungry. She buys our
manufactured goods in certainlincs
such as bicycles, tor instance- be
cause thev are of superior excel-
lence. Moreover, if it came to
question of retaliation, we could
harm European countries far more
by refusing to; take their products
than they could harm us by refus
inr to purchase ours. The United
W A.
States is, and will continue to be,
a highly profitable "consumer of
foreign manufactures. Any gen
eral commercial ' combination
against us is extremely improb
able.

The Lincoln County Teachers'
Institute, yesterday morning, be
an a two weeks' session with an
enrollment of eighty members, most
of whom are teachers from different
parts of the county. The opening
was very quiet and pleasant, no
rrreml licnlnv hpino nttemnted. and
the teachers fell into line and were"
nf u-nrL- .1 1 most before thev realized
w I
tarf. A brief address from the
rnnnfv atrtitfriiitendent. a few words
-j 1 7 ' 1
to introduce the Instructors, Dr.
Bolus, J. C. Orr . and . Miss Haas,
short talks from each of these,
rivinr aort of general out line of
what each expected to accomplish
; ti, r,nrf;,-uinr hrnnrlips nKsiorned
to each, and the - business of the
institute had commenced.
Dr. Bolus, wlio we are informed
will teach this year in the We'sleyan
University at Lincoln, is a faithful
energetic worker, and if he finishes
as well as he began, the teachers,
will have no couse to complain tuat
. ..... 1
the outlay exceeds the benefit de-
rived. The Doctor is to De com-
mended for his evident desire to
impress upon the mind of every
teacher the necessity, of thorough
work in the school room, the awak
ening ot the dormant mental' facul
ties and the growth of the" embryo
intellect to a state at least ap
proaching well developed manhood.
Miss Haas; who has the . work 111
primary methods and music, is a
lady of fiue presence and charming
manner before the class, and if we
mav take her work vesterdav as a
criterion by which to judge "of her
ability, there need be no hesitation
in pronouncing her a successful in
structor. What strikes the observer
at once as the secret of her success
is her ability to keep all the class iu-
'terested. and a fixed determination
that every one shall take part in the
work in hand. There must be no
drones in the class when Miss Haas
is conducting the exercises, and in
this particular we strongly recom
mend her as a model for all those
who are enirajred in the laudable
taskof "teaching the: young idea
how to shoot.'
It is scarcelv necessary to refer
n any wav to Prof. Orr. He needs
no introduction to the teachers of
Lincoln county. It is enough to
sav that in historv, which is the
branch "assigned to him, the very
atest method of teaching- will be
adopted, and if the class will enter
leartilv into the work, the benefit
will be exceedingly great.
It is safe, to predict that this In
stitute will be one of pleasure and
profit to all who attend.
