In connection with the above textbook
investigation it is stated to THE CRITIC
that neither Of our Commissioners have
ever honored our primary schools with their
presence during school hours. A little per-
sonal Knowledge on their part of the work
ings Of our schools might have prevented
much unnecessary scandal and agitation.
There is nothing In the District in which
our citizens have more concern than her
public schools, or which should receive
more attention at the hands of our ap.
pointed rulers.

WITHIN the past ten days the Demo.
cratic press has turned its guns loose on
Ben. Butler, and they charge him with
playing it on the Democracy for the benefit
Of MIR. Blaine. Why, bless their dear souls,
Ben is good Democrat, isn't ho2 Wasn't
he delegate to the Dem. Nat. Convention ?
Certainly he was. Ho is ia Democrat still,
though he don't keep very still, that's a
fact. Aud he's Democratic candidate,

are right. He is-for Cleveland.

THE CRITIC has no fault to find with
Rev. Horny Ward Beecher for defend-
ing Cleveland If he thinks his case requires,
and is susceptible of, defense; but when
he reads Cleveland's letter to Mrs. Beecher
as evidence of the correctness of Cleveland IS
life since he became Governor, and asks the
people to accept that letter as a final and
full refutation of the charges of incon-
tinency, made by reputable men in all tho
walks of life, he must not be surprised If
the people receive the defense with de.
lisive smiles, even though it was written
to Mrs. Beecher. 1t is tho production of
school boy, and will be received with ridi-
cule everywhere, and no man who has any
acquaintance with the ways of the world
will receive it for anything more than the
special plea-and very weak plea, at that
of a man who betrays his guilt ia every
line of his letter

The public school Textbook investiga.

isa subject of sincere congratulation that
the brief hearing pushed aside the veil of
scandal, reproach and doubt, vindicated the
good citizens and energetic men whose
regulations had been made the subject of
cruel insinuations and reduced the matter
to one of routine and technical nature.
Whethera a beneficial and advisable change
Of textbooks was made in full accordance

now presented. 1t is very different from
the one which has been forced upon the

really necessary for such objects 1t is 1T that
every citizen, whether In ofllce or not In ofice,

has any more right to interfere with an abso-

Political CONTRIBUTIONS.

In view of the fact that some employees
Of the Government are in doubt whether it
is lawful for them to contribute money
towards tho campaign expenses of either
party, the following extracts from letters
written by prominent gentlemen who are
we'll acquainted with the scope and inten-
tion of the Civil-Service law and regula.
tions will be found of interest.

DoRMAN d. EATON.
In response to an inquiry whether or not
the employees Of the Government can prop
erly contribute toward defraying the legit-
innate expenses Of political campaign,
Commissioner Butterworth Enclosing
substantial contribution for the election of
Blaine and Logan replies as follows:
In making this contribution desire to say
that am advised 1t has Deen urged with great
earnestness that persons In the employ OF the
Government as officers or otherwise have no
legal right to contribute for the purpose OF &c.
curing triumph OF political principles to which
they are devoted. That is not the law, and II
u were would not regard II, because should
have no doubt that 1t was thoroughly uncon-
stitutional. A man who has been selected, by
reason OF his fitness, to discharge ofIicial
dutiee, Is not, for that reason, deprived OF his
rights as citizen OF the United States to advo-
cate by all proper methods the triumph OF the
political principles which he deems best calcu-
lated to subeerve the interests OF the country.
IA am aware that II 10 unlawful for myself, or
any other on1cer OF the Government, to solicit or
receive contributions from those In ofIice, or In
the employment Of the Government, for politi-
cal purposes. i voted for that law. I deemed
IL thoroughly wise and Just, because It pre-
vents the exercise Of even colorado Official au-
thority to enforce contributions. I have not
spoken TO any oflicer or employe OF the Govern
ment In regard to contributing. 1t is the right
OF each one to do Just as he or she pleases in
that behalf, to contribute to the election of
Blaine and Logan, or Cleveland and Hend-
ricke, or not to contribute at all, Just as tho
judgment of tho oficer or employe dictates.
only refer to this matter because some
anxious soul, being thoroughly solcltous that
no contributions should be given to aid the
Republican cause, deemed 1t important
to express the opinion, In for
cible language, that such contributions
were unlawful, and wish to say to you that
dissent from that proposition, and empha-
Size my dissent by making q contribution
whether others do or not.
Very respectfully yours,
BENZ. BUTrERWORTH.

signal service observer In Danger.

CHICAGO, April 2s.-Daily Neaos' Col
orado Springs special: Considerable anxiety
is felt for the fate of Signal Service Observer
Ramsey, who has been on Pixies Peak
station seven weeks. George Beckhaus,
his companion, reached here three weeks
ago, more dead than alive, after twenty
four hours. The snow drifts were from
200 to 800 feet deep. At that time pro-
visions were running low, consisting only of
eight pounds of rice, 200 pounds of dried
apples two cans of condensed milk, eighty
pounds of -four, which was almost useless,
as there was nothing to raise it with, and a
couple of pounds of salt fish. Several in
effectnal attempts have been made to re-
lieve him, the depth of snow preventing
parties from reaching him. Another trial
will be made on Wednesday.

For the Ladies.

Mr.. EDIToR:-Much has been written
regarding proper and remunerative employ.
ment for women Silk culture, poultry
raising and several other themes have been
thoroughly ventilated and the result has no
doubt been very beneficial; but there are
many ladies who have no opportunity to
raise silk worms or follow any employment
of that kind. To that class I wish to open
what to me was entirely new field. Some
three months ago an uncle of mine from
Albany, N. Y, was visiting at our house
and we were talking Of plated ware which
he was engaged in manufacturing and to
crafty my curiosity he made plating
machine and replated our knives, forks,
spoons and castor. Some of our neighbors
saw what he had plated and wanted me to
do some plating for them. have since
then worked % days and have cleared dur
ing that time $94. "a. At almost every
house got from So to 50 worth of plating
to do and such work is most all profit. This
work is as nice for ladies as it is for gentle
men, as it is all indoor work and any one
can do it. My brother although he worked
two days longer than did only made $9l.5
am getting up collection of curiosities
and to any of your readers that will send
me specimen will send them full direc
tions for making and using plating ma
chine like mine that will plate gold, silver
aud nickel. Send small pieces of stones,
ores, shells, leaves, old coins, &c. Any
kind of Geological specimens will do. What
want is to get as many different speci
mems from as many different parts of the
country as l can. Please address,
Miss M. F. CASEY, Oberlin, Ohio.
