"AGAIN THOSE DREADFUL WORDS"
Va the Edifor OF The TribMne.


SIR always read your paper with pleasure,
and believe that derive at the same time, much useful
information from it. Your language is simple and the
style terse and strong. Therefore advise my children
to study your columns. and mark the proper use you
make OF words. This is important, it seems to me.
from the fact that much carelessness in speech and
writing prevails. One word is used to express an
infnity of IDEAS The words guess and fix disturb my
nerves whenever / hear them used, because they are
generally used incorrectly. Guess means to conjecture
rightly TO find out, but some people never forget TO
guess when speaking. Now / think 1t is vulgar word
II guess it is cold. guess am we'll" 81 guess
am glad 10 see you" guess had pleasant time.
AZ guess am In q hurry" These and hundred such
expressions hear every day. Fix means to fasten,
settle determine, will not weary you with re-
counting the different uses of this word. People FIX
everything. az fix my hat, my clothes" g L fix my
enemy" fix the time" INK book" There Is a
family Of young people, friends OF mine, who always
guess and fix My not very strong, therefore
] visit these people longer, for am an enemy or
guess and fix. am peaceful man. but always feel
muIderOus desire TO seize these words and silence them
forever Dear TRIBUNE, please attack guess and X and
do them dire injury. THINK AND ARRANGE.

DRIFT OF POLITICAL DISCUSSION.
WHY CARL SEIZURE SHOULD BE DRIVEN OUT OF

From TIE Missouri Democrat (late RsyOrm)
Mr.. Schurz's present attitude of openly adj
mittcd and distinctly proclaimed hostility to his party
has been approached very gradually, with many and
strenuous dNnials of such intent with these denias in
time becoming and cautiously qualified, then re-
peated with fuller qualifications, again reiterated
with increased qualifications till mt length the Demo
cratic crescendo orges all public denals and the farce
finally ends, everybody 1t must IN throwing OF
all disguise and disclosing unmasked the traitor OF
months of plotting enmty and cunning hypocrisy II Is
plain that the Schurz Of this February 1872 tOiing
effect anti-Rcpublican Presidential nomination, is
precise Schurz who, rcpudating lbeious any sls
picOn that he could be capable OF such POSITION began
his present work in his strangely bitter attacks upon the
President in January, 1871. Mastery abilities never yet
saved false statesman, and were SchurZ hundred
times as smart of tongue he Is. his rhetoric could not
hide his suby mcditaed, long prepared for finally
summated pCrfdy. His persistent and envenOmed hos
tiy to Republican measures would alone discover the
motive inspiring it, but the double dealing and falsehOOd
manifest in his party relations where only fullest frank
ness could become honest man. throw blaze of light
upon the patriotism he alleges his sole Indictment in
his senatorial COuISe.
