Appleton's Readers Once More

AppletOn's Readers once More
EDITOR SPIRIT: noticed in the SPIRIT
of July I3. summing up Of the articles
on the school book question, by Rev.
L. B. King.
Comment is unnecessary. I, too, am
willing to leave the decision to an en-.
lightened public judgment Although
''new conner" in my three years stay at
Woods6eli l learned to know and ap-
preciate the zeal, good sense, and pub
lie spirit of her citizens. And since
BeallsviIle and Sunsbury township seem,
in nv reverend friends eye, to be the
hub of the universe, might be pardon
ed in pitting Woodsfield against these
places 80 dear to his heart. / feel no
hesitation in referring the gentleman to
the intelligent and well posted patrons
and to the thorough and efficient teach
ers of the Woods6eld Union Schools as
to the success Of Appletons' readers
To their unbiased judgments l am will
ing to refer all who are interested in
procuring the best and the cheapest books
for the pupils in the schools of Monroe
or any other county.
He who uses illogical sarcasm, should
remember what logic says Of such hasty
generalizations as be made in his las
article
He claims that the teachers Of Suns
bury have been unjustly criticised. /
they have been, he is the one who has
been guilty OF the assault. Here ap
pend for his perusal what the leading
teacher of Sunsbury, Prof D. McVey
saws of Appletons' Readers Appletons
circular, page 81: 81 like the books, Ap
pletons' Readers, the best Of any l have
ever used
Comment here is unnecessary.
Does the gentleman think he ha
.'pinched too hard" He need not b.
uonhled, nobody has been scratched il
the least by his feeble clawing.
He also tells us why be "would hav
remained quiet" am very sorry tha
he has been put to useless exertion. !
his desire to remain quiet is not to,
strong, it would be interesting to know
what he received for his influence in in
Producing McGuffey's readers.
| When this is known, people may b
able TO judge why he has been SO LAWS
in his praise.
! In summing up it Is only necessary t.
say that the would-be lion of Sunsbur.
has been bearded in his lair, and that i
place of Che expected roar only the lou
bray of another animal Of far differen
species has been heard.
Had it not been for his repetition
the statement against Appletons' Reao
ers, this article would not have appeared
i Now, Mr. Editor, thanking you fo
the space accorded me in your valuabl
paper, / will close all l have to say
reply to my clerical friends slang an
bluff, unless perchance he should pre-
cure some argument

~ The Republicans announce,
through their organ, that they intend to
abandon their former policy Of "still
hunt" campaign and "carry the war into
the enemy's country" by conducting a
rtp-rcaring canvass in this county this
year. The Democrats can have no OBJ
lection to that. In fact, we believe they
vould like little skitmish nov and then

ny the Republicans for Congress in this
District, has failed to stir up that glow
Of genuine enthusiasm promised by his

without interfering in the least with the

Ben Harrison, as good a man as there
is in the State, was sacrificed in 1876 TO
the greed Of these men. anG the greatest
man on the earth wonld 60 the same
way if his keeping was intrusted to
them.
THE REPUBLICANS
Of the State have borne this kind OF
rule long enough. The aggrandzement
OF few men for twenty years at the ex
pense of the party has gone on as long
as it will be tolerated. Raising money
in other States is unnecessary. Ten
thousand dollars is everv cent that ought
to he in'rusted to any Central Commit
tee, and that can he raised easily enough
from the State ard Congressional can
,lidates. The counties all arrange their
local affairs. The masses Of the party
demand change, and if it does not
come, and drive the old moncv.changers
from the Republican temple, the voters
will leave the Church. JAYHAwKER

Who ran the campaign of 1875, and
others before it, are potent to-day, and
are likely to remain so until the defea,
next November. They have destroyed
a magnificent party majority, have squan.
dered hundreds of thousands of dollars,
and yet the worse ruin they bring upon
their party the more money they demand
and get. A desperate case is god
send to them. II any man in the party
does not come to their terms and ideas
they combine upon him, drive him from
the party, and, OF course, every decent
man takes strength with him.
