Our Public Schools.

MEssERs EDIToRs-I cannot refrain from
expressing my indignation at the action of the
Board of Education on Monday evening, June
10Th, as published i'll your last issue; and per.
NIT me, an old subscriber, to thank you for
your manly editorial on the subject. 1t is we'll
kaown to many Of our citizens that this Head
Center Economit,' has been for several years
ut work to impair the usefulness Of some Of our
most efficient teachers Heretofore his machan.
atoms have failed; but at last an American citi.
zen has been found who, for some fancied slight
or some inexplicable motive, has united hi. vote
with the clique who, by their action, seem deter.
mined to lower the standing Of our public schools
Under the iimsy cry of economy they lave de.
graded two Of oWr most efficient teachers We say
to this self styled economist that he has mistaken
the public feeling in this matter. Our tax pay
ing citizens have ever responded to every call,
and are still willing to contribute literally to
increase the usefulness OF our educational insti.
tutions. II we cannot give our children money
we can give them that which is of priceless value
"A thorough education.
The motives that have actuated this cowardly
blow are fully understood, and this "Head Gen.
ter Economist" will yet learn that his plausible
tongue cannot deceive our people.
By the deduction OF the principals salary these
wonderful economists will have saved to our
population, at the end of a year, about three
cents each.
Had the Head Center Economist" seen fit to
bring the issue of economy ("under which he was
elected" W within the circle of his own ward or.
being still further moved by the issue of economy
("under which he was elected, " had he brought
it within the circle of his own family, another
saving might have been made to our tax payers,
for it is an undeniable fact that if his daughters
salary is reduced in the same proportion AS that
OF the principal, it will effect further saving of
about one cent in year to each of our citizens.
But away with the aimsy cry of economy. 1t
has come to this that our teachers must become
the willing and abiect tools of this clique of self
styled conservators of oar childrens' education,
or else they must he publicly degraded. Our
teachers are now but poorly paid for their SER
vices. Let our citizens who have children to be
educated-those who cherish and venerate our
educational insttutons--srise in their iud,yna.
ton and teach this clique of gentlemen. accident.
ally in the majority IN the Board of Education,
that we will tolerate no economy which means
the lowering of the standing of our public
schools. AN INDIGNANT TAX PAYER.

The STICK PIANO.-Wstsonis Art Journal,

We have personally examined the Grand Piano
of Messrs. Geo. Steck & Co. The tone is broad,
penetrating and expanding 90. 80. 1t comes firm,
prompt and decided, sonorous throughout, but
full, and ringing in the middle register and sill
vsry brilliant in the upper octaves, indeed We
have rarely heard trebel more sparkling melo-
dious, and p0nOnee. The touch is az perfect as
We can imagine; combining lightness with
strength, and giving power withou. demanding
it from the player, while yet affording delicacy
for every shade of finger coloring.

A FEW reasons why they should have the
N preference over all others:
!. Wheeler Wilson's Sewing Machine is
much simpler. than any Of tho others: re-
CURING less than half tho amount Of ma
chinery. NM
2. As the result Of this simplicity, this ma.
chine is much less liable than the others to
get out Of repair.
8. Another result Of this simplicity is
greater durability.
4. Another result is less friction, and, con.
sequently, greater ease and rapidity OF mo-
lion, with less noise.
s. And greatest Of all, that it 1scs no Shut-
tie, and makes the lock stitch
1t is sho cheapest to buy the best. Buy the
machine that has Justly, fairly and honora-
bly, won a reputation and independence
against strong and bitter competition. For
more than twenty years has the Wheeler &
Wilson not only stood first and foremost, but
now stands the nlivalled Sowing Machine Of
the enlightened civilized world. Buy the ma
chine that has been thus tested and proved
and then you are eure to get tho best For
sale on tho easiest possible terms. Saloa.

The Stark County (Ohio) Democrat is
decidedly inquisitiye, if not absolutely i'm
pudent and ''disloyal," in propounding the
following conundrums and comments:
Why does Ohio, under the Internal tax
alton system, pay over sixteen millions and
Massachusetts, only about four and half
millions-16 dollars a head for Ohio
and less than three dollars head for Mas
sachusetts? hsa bigg vs. 33s9hHoq ST.
Again, why should Massachusetts have
seventy-seven millions Of National Bank
capital given to her by the law, ard Ohio
but sixteen /? This illustrates the iniquity Of
their infamous system Of taxation. Aea
But in the case Of the tariff the inc
quality is much worse The labor Of the
west is oppressed and robbed, while that Of
the east is fostered The salt Of the farm
er and pork packer, is taxed at least 100
per cent, while the Yankee fisherman has
his salt tax refunded by the government.
