The eighteenth annual meeting of the Colorado State Teacher Association opened In Denver on the 28th. State Superintendent Coy called the meeting to order and delivered the opening address which dealt with the progress of the public schools during thirty years. Mr. Coy Introduced Superintendent-elec- t J. F. Murray, who said after a few words of greeting; "It was my purpose to addres you for a half hour on various subjects connected with educational work In this state, but President Coy has given such s grand review of the school work accomplished In Colorado, both as a territory and since Its admission as a state, and the lady has just recited so sweetly, and as there are others to follow, I beg yon to exouse me from making any extended remarks.' Mr. Murray offered several practical suggestions concerning the work of the schools In the future, The speaker paid a tribute to the retiring state superintendent, which was heartily applauded. President Coy next introduced Mayor Rogers, who gracefully eulogized the teacher as a factor in human society and extended the welcome of the city to the delegates. Brief addresses were also made by Gilpin, D. II. Nicbolls, the next lieutenant governor, and several others. In the evening a chalk talk was given by Chat. M. Carter. About 150 teachers wore in attendance. On Thursday morning the high school section bad the floor. President Search of Pueblo read a paper on the Old and New in Education.

It was two days before I could leave the room. Galveston Island and the lowland of the coast are a great breeding ground of the mosquito. When there is a strong breeze from sea they are blown into the bav, and the city is thus kept, during the greater part of the year, comparatively free from the pests.

I am for the free coinage of silver at the present ratio, first, last and all the time. 1 am for free eolnagc, and If I cannot get It at this session I shall try to secure it at the next or the earliest possible moment. The Sherman law Is the nearest we have been able to get to that point as yet. It is proposed to re)eal it, but nothing is suggested to take its place. If that proposition was to be curried silver would beat onee demonetized, and when that happens it will not be long before gold, too, is demonetized. "With sliver demonetized there would be such a fight for gold among the nations, the highest bidder getting It, that panics would Inevitably followr. Then the people of tins country would rise up, take bold of the government and give those now trying to run It such a lesson In finance a they don't dream of. The Eastern men who are clamoring for gold are greedy and are grasping for everything In sight, letting the future Nike care of Itself. They will find out their mistake.
