Iaclc vast amount of twaddle

I,.car VAST amount Of twaddie
nd insincere Indignation going the
pounds of the PRESS nowadays, ema-
mating exclusively from pot-honses
and tho would-be politicians who
gather therein, concerning Mr.. La.
mar 'sconHrmatier. Certainly, ii the
matter depended upon such hide
bound patriots as john sherman who
can see nothing south of Mason and
D.xon's line but the skeleton OF Jes-
Jersos Davis Haunting the bloody shirt
and from whom these penthouse poll.
,icians derive their Inspiration. there
could lie SUIT an InfayuraGle decision
u.on the Presidents appointment.
Mr.. Lamar'S recent declaration OF
his position ON the question Of state
lights and the results of the war Is
much more admirable one, more
Icud. n. irIt d aud patriotic than the
announcement by Senator Serman CT
lis determination TO oppose Mir. La
lnar's ssniirma ticn. Mr.. Lamar,
bo,n in Mississippi, or Minnesota, We
are not where, must be the peer OF
the gentleman from Ohio in citizen
shir, OF ne is an alien. His record
in the Senate attests his loyalty TO
the Union, and Us part of the pres
tnt administration he has won
nothing but increased respect from
all patriots. lie is no alien, then, ant
his rejection must hang upon come
thing less slender than the thread CT
seetionalism. The sacred precincts
Of our highest court would not be
defiled by the admission of an honest.
loyal, learned citizen upon its bench.
Time was not many years ago, in
1870, that the republican party
secured the appointment OF Two
Justices Of the Supreme Ccurt-cne
,nder law creating a new Justice
ship, the other in place of Jastice
Mko had resigned-with the DELHI
crate and ayowed intention and pur-
pose TO reverse former decision OF
the Court as TO the demonstrations
ality of the legal tender act. Car
Mr.. Lamar's appointment approach
This for violence TO free government!
The republican party would need to
weed out the pharisees in it were
they not SO important factor in It's
existence.

LOCAL PROHIBITION.
A Case Where the Right of Petition Is
Not RightfuIly Exercised.

Not hiBhttuliy ENerclseus
The Aberdeen, (Miss.) Examiner speaks
as follows in reference to a petition sent
TO Congress from that State, in behalf of
the enactment ofa prohibitory liquor law
for the District of Columbia:
"We don't know and never can know
who those four Senators, five Representa-
tives and one hundred and twenty-five
citizens of Mississippi were who sent a
petition to Congress asking for the passage
of a law prohibiting the sale of liquor in
the District of Columbia, for all such
things go into the file rooms unread and
constitute the wastes basket lumber of
the Capital; but this we do know
and assert that it was shameful thing
for any people who.have suffered as ours
have suffered from the rule of strangers,
to attempt TO interfere with the local gov
ernment of people many hundreds of
miles away from them, who do not, enjoys
the rights Misrepresentation or suffrage
'Ifa petition had been sent TO our
legislature by the citizens of the District
of Columbia asking that licenses be issued
for the sale ofliquors in, Jackson, Merid-
ian and Brookhaven, without regard to
the wishes of the people of those mo
license" towns, the very persons who
petitioned Congress for prohibition in the
District of Columbia would have raised
such q howl of indignation as to have
startled the State, and vet they think
nothing of impudently and recklessly
interfering in the local affairs of
as good and true people as
any land can boast. Such an
act was unworthy of Mississippians, and
had the petition been sent through our
hands IL would have found its way to the
fire as soon as read, even though it con-
thined the names of all the members of
the Legislature and all Others in au-
are and iof eaoss as We i0r are I of
the rights of our own good State and
people, and having memory long
enough to recall the suilerings in the
days when strangers and fanatics, boil
stored by bayonets, ruled them, we are
unwilling that anyone speaking or acting
for Mississippi shall undertake to usurp
the rights and sovereignty of other com.

"Help" Question.
1spIToR CRIrIc; IL is with great pleasure
read in your valuable paper the letters
from the people ON the vexed question of
Help" Such thing as combination
among ladies who employ help to grade
wages and protect each other from the
Imposition of untidy, dishonest and
wholly inefficient servants has never been
made, but hundreds of discouraged, worn
ont h0usekeepers are right now ready to
join any league uf society that will bring
about n radical change in the existing
state of things. 1t is certain that the
whole system by which domestics are
hired and serve is demoralized beyond
any speedy reform; but reform we must
have, and if not speedy, why, we will
take IL gradually.
/ also belong TO the class Of housekeep-
ers las Mrs. W. who strive TO be kind to
their servants and apply the golden rule
in all dealings with them, allow them
every privilege, give them the best of
food, and in abundance, and pay good
wages. In return i exact faithful and
honest service, but | get nothing but in
competency iugratitude and dishonesty.
TO cconomize in any way is impossible,
The only,o object now Is to get the meals on
the table, at any cost and in any style, so
the ordeal is gone through and cook is at
liberty.
But let us keep the ball moving, II
will assume gigantic proportions, and If
there is a meeting called, let every house
keeper attend, with firm resolution to
help each other and help ourselves.

2 In letter TO lady friend of this city,
Mrs. DR.. Bland writes as follows from
Florida:
1--WE reached Winter Park after dark
and all the next day violent thunder
and rain storm obscured the beauty of
theplace, but now the sun shines brightly
and the soft, balmy air is richly laden
with the fragrance of orange blossoms.
Winter Park is about eighty miles south
of st. Augustine and IS situated in the
midst OF series of beautiful lakes.
From the observatory of the Seminole
Hotel ten Of these small but lovely lakes
are visible, They are not stagnant ponds,
but crystal lakes, some of them fifty TO
seventy feet deep, with clear sandy
bottoms, and bordered by stately pines,
or the rich foliaged orange tree.
'The 400 guests in this hotel represent
almost every section Of this country.
Among the celebrities are Mr.. Plant,
MIR. Pullman and Mr.. Westinghouse of
railroad fame, Justice Strong of the SUI
prelne Court and Mr.. Il. B, Knowles, the
millionaire steam loom manufactures of

The Woman wage Question.

EDfroR CRITIC: From a paragraph in
your issue of Saturday learn that the
District Woman Suffrage Association is
going to investigate the apparent inequity
as to the payment Of male and female
teachers in the District schools; and
am glad oft. Long experience as an EN-.
ployer has enabled me- as it has enabled
Others, tosee why there inevitably must be
differences in pay, in many, cases, be-
tween men and women employees doing
the same work. but the facts which justify
these differences are some of the very
ones which should be considered to the
advantage of women as teachers. In the
business of teaching, except, perhaps, in
the higher grades of study, women are
essentially better than men, and ought to
be better paid for equal work, as in many
other businesses they must inevitably
continue to receive less pay for equal
work. And this matter ought to be settled
fairly on its merits without waiting for
an advance toward woman suffrage II
