one OF the Committee. VICTIM.
We depart from our rule to take no notice
Of ANONYMOUS communications in this case
long enough TO assure our correspondent
that he is a very careless readorif he thinks
he has found anything in THE Critic that
can be properly construed into defense of
the detectives.
THE CRITIC knows nothing of the charges
against the detectives, and it never con
demns any one, no matter who it is or what
the charge, except upon evidence satisiac-
tory to it.
What THE CRITIC has done. and what it
probably will continue to do in this matter
is to call attention to the character of the
witnesses who are so glibly testifying
against the detectives. There has not
been. so far as THE CRITIC knows, q
single witness against them whose testi-
mony would be believed under oath in any
ordinary case. Why then take their word
against the men by whose cxertions they
have been arrested, convicted and impris-
oned for crime?
A ease in point is reported in the news
columns of this paper. 1t is that of Frank
Cronin, released from the workhouse by the
exertions of the Citizenj' Committee, of
which Victim" is member to testify
against the detectives, who was arrested last
night for burglary. Victim should
prayerfully consider this matter. What is
the word of such thieving fellow rs
Cronin worth against anybody, unless cor
roborated by undoubted facts from an un-
impeachable source?
Another thing THE CRITIC has done is
to call attention to the contradictory ac-
tion of the District Commissioners in de-
clining to investigate charges against Cap
tain Vernon and Lieutenant Arnold, pre-
ferred by one John z. Smith, on
the ground that he is unworthy
of belief, when they have degraded
other officers of the police force on the
word of those convicted scoundrels, O'Leary
and Murphy. Their action in these two
cases when contrasted is simply extra
ordinary, and an explanation would not be
amiss.
Finally, while THE CRITIC commends
the good sense of its unknown correspond
ent in taking THE CRITIC and coinciding
with its views" and regrets to part with
him, its grief is partly alleviated by the
knowledge of his confessed cowardice, for it
is maxim that anonymous correspondents
are always towards.

We wonder how the Attorney General would
like TO receive a letter from one of the dis

nothing could atone for such an insult, unless

Pittsville Factories.

Editors Reporter. Perhaps you are
aware that it is becoming generally
known throughout the county and else
where, that Pittsville is soon to rank
among the first places of the county.
1t is now looking forward to a railroad
to be known as the Wisconsin, Pitts
vile and Superior, and then soon
after to the dimensions of an incorpor-
ated city. Those wishing to improve
the advantages of new country, had
better come to Pittsville and vicinity
while the way is open and business is
booming. Better than to go out upon
the western plains for few years, and
from thence return empty handed to
carve out home of peace and plenty
in the forests of Wisconsin.
Relative to the manufacturing inter
ests of the place, [ will give you the
following items as they have been
given to me. Mr. Boyington of the
firm of A. j. Webster & Co. hub

of crude material on hand, and that

Oldest factory in the place, and no
doubt they are doing a good business.
Mr.. Ed. Harmon, of the firm of
Harmon & Son-stave factory-reports
1000 cords of stave and heading bolts
on hand; that they are working crew

shipments are from ? to ear loads

Mr.. G. V. Doud, foreman in the
stave factory OF Doud Sons & Co..
states that their stock on hand is s.
900 cords of stave bolts, 500 cords of
heading bolts and 400, 600 feet of logs.
They are working crew of IS men,
and are cutting $4,000 slaves and TO-
600 heading per day. They expect to
have their new store building ready in

The manner in which Mr. Hiles
and Mr. johnson, his book keeper,
account for this large vote in 1882, is
the fact that their Woodenware factory

election and accounted for the follow

claim that Mr. Hiles has invariably
allowed fraudulent voting and particu-
larly so when interested in the result.
They also claim that the 81 railroad

Company men were mostly nOn-reSi-
dents and their votes illegal and unjust;
That there is not to exceed Is actual
