Communications.

perhaps remember the following, il
the STAR of July 9th: "E. II. Of
finger, Sup't of Schools, in ELS.
worth, lately made visit to tho
schools, and reports all quiet along
the line,' and the schools in flour,
ishing condition. H."
In the Herald, shortly after, APP
pcarcd this:
"Sincc l have seen an article in
the STAR Of July 9th, under the
signature e. purporting to have
emanated from me as Superintend-
cnt of Schools, ] take this method
of saying to the public of this town
ship, and the readers of the STAR,
generally, that have never appoint
ed deputy. Nor have l at any
time authorized any person to pub
lish an abstract of my visits to the
schools of my township, or to make
an official report for me. l will,
therefore, say that / propose to at
tend to my official business in its
proper time, and in my own way.
perhaps ought to thank the gen
tleman for his assistance in vOlun-
teering his surplus ability to advise
me in my weakness and incapacity.
+. Il. Ottingcr.
A strange mode, indeed, Bro. o.,
of letting the readers of the STAR
or the public of this township, know,
by shooting off such a petty article
i'll a paper that but comparatively
few of the readers of tho STAR would
see, even if its (Herald) entire cd;-
ton should fall into their hands.
And the public of Ellsworth! How
can you inform the public of this
township, through paper that
scarcely crosses the lines!
And now, my Brother, I am will
ling, not only to help you in your
official business, perhaps you have
forgotten how much l did for. your
election last Spring, ungratcful
man), but also, to bring your article
before the readers of the STAR, and
consequently the public of Els
worth; for we think it may reform
the world in a short time. If the
President should see your article,
he might learn how You do it, and
then he would, of course, tell them
to "stop their clack" about him;
and others might do the same, till
all wise men would catch the in
spiration. Then, what a nice lot of
newspapers VIC would have! Full
of nothing, about nobody. "Pur-
porting to have cmcnatcd from me-"
And, pray, tell us what makes it
purport like that ? 1t may spur
port that way to Superintendent,
but it has no such ''purport" to
any one olsc. You say you have
"ncvcr authorized any one to pub
lish an abstract of your visits!
well, Rad, here is another rub for
you. | am sorry! But then, you
have been tried as by fire; and if
you can stand the heavy guns of the
past Spring and Summer, be not
discouraged. "Or to make any
official reports for me-" Now, my
Brother, if we knew that you would
take our advice, VIC would promise
not to expose this slip of the pen
Gil, as We know that "pnrporting"
business will 60 hard with you, in
the minds of the readers of the
STAR, as they are opposed to mis-
representation.
What makes you talk so? Eve
~ man, woman and child who reads
this must admit that you arc either
ignorant Of what constitutes an Of
fetal report, or you were malicious
about this. The readers of the
STAR will hold you responsible to
correct those statements in as pub
lie a manner as You have made
them. +.
Johnny, ask The Superintendent,
in our behalf, 1--WE have decided
hankcring after literary curiosities)
AS to whether he was standing Oh
his head, or had the paper upside
Town when he read "E.'s" article,
so that said article, with all its trc-
"purports,' appeared to
him "untlcr the signaturc!' -EDI-
TOR.
EDITOR starr wish to inform
several readers Of your valuable
paper as to the platform the UNDER
signed believes to be the just and
rightful one, and the one hope that
all good and true citizens will heart
lily adopt:
That the people owe to the Gov
,rnmcnt, at all times loan of
money adequate to its needs, ut u
rate of interest so low as to be the
east possible burden.
The Government owes to the
people an absolutely safe and uni
'orm currency, in amount and of a
value not different from that of
other civilized nations.
That the providing ola currency
tor the people is an attribute Of
sovereignty, and that the Govern
ment of the United States should
perform this duty, independent of
the action of banks.
