THE ARTIST OF THE CAPITOL.

Since poor BRUMIDI has gone the way of
all the earth, leaving his artistic productions
within the National Capitol to the criticism
of an uuchartable public, whose assaults
always become the more and more brave
the louger the object Of them has been
dead, they have been severe and merciless
One journalist, who p!umes himself as an
art critic, now that there is no BRUMIDl to
stand guard over his own reputation as an
artist, says:
Such fTescoes as BRUMIDI for rather more
than quarter off century industriOusly en-.
gagged himself in dnublng on the walls Of our
National Capitol, have never been esteemed
anywhere by people at all qualified to pass

We have no sympathy with certain Repub-

Grant. He has been as true citizen as this
country ever had, aud TO him we owe as much
as to any other living man. Washington,
Lincoln and Grant stand side by side as the
Nations fathers. General Grant Is entitled

Those who oppose him for President again, as

iavor him. This is true with the exception of

editors of the journals TO whom we refer. We
oppose General Grants nomination, but no

Grant would be injured more than benefited

To the Press and Dakotaian,
In your issue Of Friday last you stated
that it was in my opinion necessary to close
the public schools in order to prevent the
spread of diphtheria in this city. I regret
that our interview should haye led to this
misunderstanding, it being my wish to pre-
vent the children IN which the disease ex-
listed from attending school, and thereby
%endangering those who had not previously
been exposed. In this I was actuated BY
repeated complaints Of parents, whose
anxiety for their children had suggested thi.
plan. l therefore would recommend to the
school board the adoption of such measures
as would accomplish this end. The disease
is unquestionably on the increase, and We
must not presume too far upon the favorable
hygenic condition of the city, and the un.
paral;eled heathfal and invfkoratihR eli.
mate of our territory.
Respectfully yours,
J.B. VAN VELsoR.
