read with great interest, and no little curl
osity, the address to the President OF the United
States prepared by Ex-Trustees OF the Public
Schools Of Washington" and Endorsed by WELL
known gentlemen Of the District of Columbia.
l was interested because the address sets fort
certain imperative necessities as to public school
instruction which the petitioners had in vain
sought to meet, and which the Commissioners
of the District were absolutely incompetent tn
answer, or, what was even worse, for which,
though often appealed to, they were positively
unwilling to provide. was anxious 10 know

personal significance i'm their act. could expect
an improvement in the matter whereof they
complain without naming the gentlemen or Com
missioners at whose hands, when appointed,
remedies for evils complained of were To be de-
handed.
Now. Mr.. Editor, I believe in the rigra of peti-
ton, but that it ought to be exercised with sim
gtllar discretion. based upon facts susceptible Of
complete and irrefutable demonstration. An
attack upon personal and official character is
equally and absolutely unjustifiable and state
mept in THE STAR of Saturday seems to show
that this address to the President has been just
such. The writer has never sought a favor at
the hands Of the present Commissioners. and
never expects to. He believes i'm many respects.
reform might be in place to many things
marked by their official conduct. and yet he did
not sign the address referred to because not
asked. nor would he have done so if applied TO.
" The best Of men are but men at best and as
the present Commissioners are gentlemen of Mt
least a remote degree of intelligence as COM
pared with some of the "Ex-Trustees" whose
names are intended to give force TO the address,
the attempt to cloud the mind of the Executive
in the discharge Of one of the most important
duties to which he will be called is without ex-
cuse, at least in the very humble opinion Of
IAN EX-TRgSTEE."

To the Editor of The EVENING STAR:
1t is very gratifying that there seems at last
to be some prospect that Congress will come to

thorough and durable manner. But i'm connec-
ton herewith the adomment Of orr city should
not be lost sight of, and the establishment Of q
River Side Park Gas the grand feature of the
Washington Of the future) naturally suggests it.
SELF This park should be continuation of the
mall, and extend from tho Washington monu-
ment, up the river to Observatory Hill, the whole
forming magnificent drive or corso. 1t would
be great pity for that hill to be leyeled.
The inhabitants Of Rome have their famous
Monte PiDcio, from which they view the eternal
city and St. Peters church, let us have Observe
tory Hill, whence coming generations may view
the Capitol, Arlington and the majestic Poto-
mac. Such park would also form an appropri.

GUTTEAU'S LAST DAYS.
The Prisoner Speaks GiOwiDgly and
Cheerfully OF His Future Life.

WASHINGTON, June p.
Guiteau retired last night at his usual
time, about half past eight or nine. He slept
well and appeared much refreshed this morn
ing. He ate heartily at breakfast and was
cheerful and taciturn than usual. After
breakfast he took about half an hours ex-
ercse in the corridor in front of his cell.
Then he returned to his bible, and as he did
yesterday. talk to the minister much on the
subject selected, the revelations of St. John.
He prepared himself for DR.. Hicks visit. to-
day, by reading it. DIR. Hicks arrived at the
Jail about 1870 and spent about 20 minutes
with the prisoner. They talked about reve-
lation and the beauties of the other world,
and Guiteau spoke glowinglv and cheerfully
of his future life. saying that he felt as
sured of his reward. He ALWAYS told DIR.
Hicks that he hoped the authorities would
stay his execution. but he was ready to go il
called. Hicks left about ii promising tn
call later in the day and Guiteau went out
again in the corridor and resumed his walk.
ing for nearly an hour, and from his count.
enance he pas evidently in deep thought
Number of workmen were on the scaffold
getting it in order.
Mrs. Scoville arrived in this city last
night. She is reticent, but indications are
that she will make application to the Presi-
dent to grant her brother a respite.
Reed, however, does not have the same
opinion of her mental condition as Mr.
Scoville, and does not apprehend that there
will be any trouble on her account. He ex.
pected that she would come here, but has no,
been in communication with her. Reed will
make one more visit to Guiteau before Fri.
day. He says he does not care to go often as
the visits are very painful to him.
