". Ea;tor In looking over your

Nr. Editor I'm looking over your
issue of January 18th, / noticed q
piece headed Debating School," IN
which you took, or seemed to take, the
Gems orial power in ycnr own hands
Tor the purpose Of criticising the peo'
pie of Centralia, in regard TO their
Debating Club.
If YOU intended i, for criticism,
I can assure you that your kindness is
thrown away, for the people in whom
YOU have taken such an intrest, do
not appreciate it, and if you meant it
for bIackguardism, it lost its force ere
it was read through once. For i
have heard several persons. say,
(whcn speaking about III :" that the
editor means well enough toward the
Young mems Debating Club, that he
really meant it for puff" but that it
is falling Of his, to got his editorials
iuto the paper in that inferior kind of
slang and that nature is more to blame
for it than he is" Dnt Ill sensible
persons viii come to the conclusion,
(uo matter what the piece was meant
for,) that it shows disposition on the
part of the writer to lower the stand
ing of the Club.
Now, am sorry to think think that
a member of any local paper (much
more . member of the Wood Co. Re
porter would take upou himself the
" Degra ding" of any society started
by the young mon his community, for
their benefit.
Mr.. Editor, when you spoke ofdH
the people of Centralia il connection
with the " Debating School, Though
l will take upon myself the liberty to
assert that none of them would be as
hamed, if they were connected with
it, you were laboriue, nnder mis-
take, for it is only portion OF the |
people Ghe young mem who haze es
tabIished the Club, and they, vi doc
ing so did it for their benefit, both in
this world and the next because II it |
is conducted as it should be it has a
tendency to elevate the young man
who joins it, both intellectually, and |
morally, intellectually, because 1t
viii compel him to study history or
any other work connected with the
question to be debated, and morally |
because it has tendency to draw
him from the billiard table and sa-
loon.
In speaking of tie resolution"
you asserted " that it has been debat-
ed at every debating club since &c."
or some such words, admitting that
il has--is it a crime for as TO debate |
it?
And, Mr. Editor, think it would |
have looked more becoming for you,
to have used your sage and experience
ed counsel, in helping US along,
Than to cast odium on our first effort,
end | think all intelligent readers will
think the same, and furthermore III
you hare taken such an interest in us
that you intend to criticise al our ac-
tons, you will find your hands full
for we do not claim infalIibility, i'll

Seventy.dve and fifty, yea, twenty,
FIVE years ago, the system Of liquor

by the best classes Of society.
AS the years have rolled around,

it has been discovered that n stigma
attaches to the one, aud to say tie

Improbable popularity attends the
