n very meat PelhPAsS
was issued yesterday, containing an ad-
dress to the parents and guardians OF pu-
nils in our Public Schools. BY the Storey
county Board of Education. with other
documents relating to the sub
lee, matter Of the address. and the excel
len, annual report Of Colonel Collins,
County Superintendent Of Public Schools.
This address was called forth in answer to
q series of disgraceful attacks made upon
the Board Of Education and upon the
character Of the Public Schools, school
houses, school furniture and school yards,
by that mendacious sheet known as the
Virginia Daily Union. It Is an address
that every person who sends children to,
or is interested in the prosperity Of our
Public Schools should read attentively.
We congratulate the public that We have
q Board Of Education that is equal to the
successful management and vindication Of
the great interests committed to their
charge. It is an address that handles the
subjects upon which it treats with the
skill Of a master. There is q quiet vein Of
biting irony cropping out through the en-
tire statement. This malignant assault Of
the Union will be the means Of bringing
our Public Schools and their merits
prominently before the public, and the
labors Of this organ Of the Democracy to
overwhelm the schools in disgrace, will
recoil upon its cowardly authors as did
the assassination Of Mr.. Lincoln upon
their martyred saint and temporary po-
litical devinity, Mrs. Surratt. This state
ment convicts the Fyop-Tod of willful mis-
representation, Of deliberate and precon-
certed effort, evidently planned and car
ried out under the auspices Of its lying
and filthy neighbor, to cripple and de-
stroy our excellent Public Schools.
From the unimpeached and unimpesch-
able testimony of All. Doten, the excel
lent local reporter Of the Union in days
gone by, it appears that no truthful state
ment in regard to the Public Schools could
have a place in the columns Of that delect-
able sheet-the great organ Of the Democ-
racy of the State of Nevada, which regards
popular education with distrust, and the
Public School system as the greatest Of all
enemies to those woman-whipping, body
selling, nigger-hating, soul-driving lovers
Of freedom and human equality, compos-
ing that immense party Of progress, and
known as the JEFF. Davis Surratt Democ-
racy Of the United States Of North
America. This, DO it known. is the organ
Of that Democracy that again desires to
gain possession Of the Public Schools, that
great lever for elevating the rising genera
ton high up beyond the reach and infu-
ence of such a blathering demagogue as
that whisky-soaked specimen Of a Demo-
cratic School Superintendent, whose
loyalty and worth were endorsed by that
political go-between, and known as the
great quarto; who slowed around our
streets, with bloa,ed visage, eyes in frenzy,
rolling, and snakes kissing from around
the top of his boot-legs-through whose
efficient and sublime administration our
schools became a Kissing and by-word,
and became almost deserted, especially in
Virginia. where his influence vas most
potent. But this thing the organ knows
to be an impossibility. The next best
thing to be done, by this arguis IN hsr6a,
this eusto, moran. is to gain q similar end,
by procuring another agentto do the filthy
work he has by a system Of falsehood
failed to accomplish. It desires to trans
fer our schools to the tender mercies Of
other diminutive specimen Of chatter
ing o~bscenisy and whisky profanity. that
does the dirtiest Of the work upon the
Dou6le-Ads. and wants to be School
superintendent, but couldn't, ious do,
curse the people of Storey county with
success. Rollin can't make the rifle
can't get a position that will insure him
two square meals a day, unless he employs
his neighbor to do for him what he has
signally failed to accomplish for himself.
Hence the Flop Tod keeps Numbering
daily in its dolorous drivel. In this war,
all opposing parties have a double purpose
to accomplish, to serve themselves, their
spleens and spi,es, and also their masters,
who to destroy the public schools, use
these creatures as tongs to pull their burn
ing chesnuts from the Ere! Rollin NJ,
sees his prospects fading away, and writhes
and fumes against those who occasion his
modification and defeat. The dros Of the
Flop Tod, has a opportunity to gain a
sweet revenge on n who spurned his
sickening Establishments and who refused
to be an instrument for converting his lady
love into q teacher-to pension her on the
School Fund Of the county, without pos
the requisite qualifications for a
teacher. Disappointed applicants for
teachers certificates, disappointed appli-
for Schools, or some other supposed
grievance, all set up a general howl like so
many hungry wolves-some Of these no
doubt are friends to the public schools,
and have no worse desire than to get even
with those who could not appreciate their
worth, according to their own estimate,
never considering that they are serving
masters whose very employment and OBJ
jecs they would heartily dispise. did they
but know them.
These great captains Of the Mrs. Surratt
know well what they are
about-know what inducements are neces.
sary to accomplish their work and how to
employ and compensate them. The great
work of left handed school reform in this
county was insugurated when that She
devil was employed to smugRle through
the ballot-box, nearly two years since,
for School Superintendent that rhetorical
