Such aa organizatioa is much needed among Monroe county teachers. Prof. Beck gave some useful instruction en'the effects of narcotics on the human system.

Progress:

If there were any one thin: in tbe world

that vould cause us to doubt the ability ot

tae American people to govern themselves,

It would be the incompetency tney exhibit

in tae nnanctai management or meir du mestio affairs. Even our common labor

ers, to say nothing of our mechanic and

other wage workers, ruoeive, generally, sueb pay as would enable them to livo

comfortably and -keep free from debt

they were not wanting in tbe tact or the

will to nee tbeir waxes to the best adran

Uge. Oar working people buy tbeir 1amily supplies on credit front pay day to pay

dav. as if inexorable fete herself bad de

creed that it should be done that way. It

seems never to enter the heads of wage workers, however Urge or small their pay,

to pincn along for awntie aad get enouga

abeed to pay as ten no. Tney seem u

wilfully refuse to see that after tbe first createlfbrt it would bo just as easy to

kovD always a little ahead of family ox

nooses as to be always lassins away be

hind.

Under tbe present system of the rotail

credit trade wage workers anticipate their pay Ions: before it is earned. They incur oblismtiuBS far in excess of tbeir ability to

pay within any reasonable length of tune. Tbey fall away behind in tbe payment of

thMir bills for ifrocerie, for dry goods, for

foeJ, for furniture, for contributions to tbe church, for lodge dues, indeed for everything for which tbey have found it postible to obtain credit. We do nut think we put the estimate too, high when vo. bsj-

Nothing succeeds like sdc ; osr-s. -U has heretofore been a mystery to us why strangers are generally charged so rxtrsvagantly by hotels in large cities Happening a short time since at the Gait House, corner of Sixth and Main streets, Cincinnati, Ohio, managed by W. E. Mnrsb. Jr., son ef the proprietor who established tbe Gait House, fifty years ago, tho mvsterv was solved. The accommoda

tions at the Gait House are equal in every respect to the best two dollar per day ho

tel, and yet the charges are only one-

dollar and fifty cents per day lot meals and room; single metis thirty-five cents. The GH is headquarters for the most complete meals, which, together with free

use or psrlor, orace, cnecK room, eic , constitute the ereatest barerain obtainable in

the city. Tbe solution is easy when the

facts are known, ine uaii is run bxciisivulv ia the interest of straneers, the

same rate being charged per day, at all

times to everyone. Whatever will pro

duce a reasonable rent for tbo property Is the extent of its charges, thus doing awy with tbe usual Lease's profits. Its management is constantly under the immediate and personal control of the owner, W. E. Marsh, Jr. Its employes being paid

according to the volume of business, are efficient and reasonable in cost. The

above peculiarities, a low uniform price, a reasonable rent-charge only, a rigorous and practical supervision of its internal affairs, and co-operative salary payments, have secured for tbe Gait a fair transient trade, and tbe experiment is a success, producing rent for tbe real estate. To this benefactor, who has made it possiblo to stay two days in the city at the usual expenso of one, we heartily recommend our (riends.
