THE OTHER SIDE.

To tho Editor Of THE REPUBLICAN,;
1t is well said that there are two sides
to every question. There seems to be considerable
exercise Of mind Just now concerning the 81 Dor
ing" by onice.scckers" aud place hunters" OF
our high officials, | ask how, under the circum.
stances can this be avoided2 There Is consider
able complaint made also because Of the precious
time" Of the high officials consumed by these
borers and hunters. How can IL be otherwise
under the circumstances? There seems to be great
complaint made by certain officials with reference
to the plaques Of Office seeking and giving. But
let me ask, which of them is willing to surrender
his patronage? There are plenty of good
men who are willing to accept tlahatronogo
with all the trouble; and they are willing to be
bored all the year round for n much less salary
than these plagued ones receive. will volunteer
to accept the plague of dispensing the entire
patronage OF any Department of the Government
for $500 per annun, aud will take the Job for
life. Surely here Is q chance for some ones re-
lief. Many seem TO have an idea that these high
s0laricd persons should be exempt from all trouble
Arc they not paid well for their services? very
few Of them die because of persecution" from
oflcc.seekers or from overwork. Most of them
seem int and nourlshiug Aud did they not seek
Office themselves? Again, these frequent slurs
against the seeker would lead people to believe
that he is always rogue or something of
near kin thereto. But they are not all dishonest.
There are among them, occasionally at least, rs
upright men as walk the EARTH who are unfortu.
nate enough to be compelled to seek support for
themselves and families in this way. 1t is high
time that some instruction OH the common
scnse' line be given to the general voters who
raise these troubled gentlemen to Office The fact
of II is that q very large number of upright men
stand ready to como to Washington and relieve
the burdened ones at any time for smaller pay
than the present incumbents are receiving. They
will also promise TO attend strictly TO their bust
ness, give good days work, and not say they are
out when they are in. TWOSIDEs,

To the Editor OF THE REPUBLICAN,;
As much is being said with regard to
demonstration ofthank Offering from the grateful
hearts of the people to Him who has raised up, as
we hope, to health our President, may l not sug-
gest that instead ofan Offering Of music and song
In which much money and time must be spent
without much material benefit to anybody, we
give to the deserving poor of our city, aud lot
other cities Of the land do the same, the means we
have to spare and on the Presidents birthday do
nate a noble fund to be invested in coal, wood,
-four and such other neccssarles as would bring
continual Offering of gratitude from many a sur-
fering sorrowing heart. Mehlnks the tender
heart of the Great Father would respond to such
an evidence Of His people, thankfulness and feel
sure, too, that our noble President and his
grateful wife would indorse and assist in such
jubilee Almost every family know of some
helpless suffering, deserving poor. Let them send
such names to committee, who may satisfy
themselves of the need of the parties, and then
buy of such things as they require and send 1t to
them Much suffering may thus be spared during
the cold of the coming winter; many a child and
aged person be made glad and the blessing of
Him who has said "Inasmuch as ye have done
It unto the last of these my children ye have done
II unto Me-" will be surely ours. A. II. II.

cities in the interest of the exposition, aud stated
that he was most cordially received everywhere.
He is confident that the exposition will be Il
great success, and that many exhibits will
come from foreign countries. He had an
interview with Secretary Window IN reference to
the admission of foreign exhibits free of duty,
which was highly satisfactory, the Secretary as
surfing him that no customs regulations should
stand in the way OF their free admission. He
thinks that this exposition will be of material ad
