BUT THE SPIRIT OF SPECULATION,
The Governmcnt Printing Onicc.

To the Editor of THE REPUBLICAN,:
The Star of Saturday has one column devoted 10
the Government Printing Office, and while read
ing the articles the thought occurred, how strange
IL is that we never find out how good a man is
until he is dead, and whether 1t would not be the
best way for Mr. Rounds to turn the abuse lie IL
receiving into praise. 1t would be discovered ut
once thai he was not such bad man after all, and
perhaps we would have wide Awake" Re
publican" and the other writers unearthing his
good qualities and sending them out, so that the
abuse and praise could be compared right away.
This is. merely suggestive. Mr.. Rounds is not
bound to take my advice. Fault finders seem to
forget many things. Mr. Rounds had to ask for
deficiency appropriation Immediately on taking
possession. He found the rolls of Office filed up TO
their utmost. He was besiesed for four months
double what he had on his rolls then. 1t was
necessary TO make some appointments, conse-
quently discharges had to take place. In conf
parison the number removed has been very light
I'VE have not had the customary furloughing; and
might go on thus enumerating reasons for fault
finders to consider ere they try toshowto the world
how bad Public Printer we have. JUSTICE,
