Nv. D. HIS" Criticism.

To the Ehr"r ( 4" II uhl a..
Please tell Mr.. III. for me that !
said he is a gentleman.
Many folks may doubt it who
read his article in your last issue,
since gentleman would not write
such an article and especially with
out having just cause for the same.
But circumstances alter cases, hence
notwithstanding my extreme illit-
eracy) I'll see if | cannot demon
strate the cause of his unjust criti-
cism and prove him to be gentle
man still.
1st. Mr.. III. is gentleman, be-
cause he did not know that VIC foliaA
down here at Accident think as
much of Mr.. Hinebaugh as no does
and appreciate his labors in the in
terest of our public schools Just as
much. My suggestion was not in
tended to criticise Mr.. Hinebaugh
or anyone else in the least. But
think We all feel to congratulate
him with Mr.. III. for his unceasing
energy and interest manifested
surely no one can say he has not
done his best and who can do more?
I'd. Because Mr.. II. did not
know that | am no aspirant for the
Office, neither am | seeking it for a
friend, and have nothing more in it
than every citizen should have.
Sd. Because Mr.. IL. does not
know that am fully well enough
informed as to details of school
work in Garrett county to know to
certainty that any man who is
competent to do it at all can do all
the work which our examiners have
been doing in six months of actual
service since our schools are only
open from three to five months in a
year. However | referred to his
ample time, not to Mr.. Hinebaugh's
Incidence or neglect of duty.
4th. Because he does not know
that ! am not of that class who
complain at the salary. But ]
claim it is just and reasonable and
that he should be paid reasonable
annual salary and give US year OF
actual service in return
5th. Because Mr.. Ii. does not
know that do not profess to be a
graduate, nett lcr to be perfect in
knowledge or grammar. Hence,
certainly if ] conclude to take a
normal course it will be as a pupil,
but since my business is farming !
beg leave to differ as to the invest
ment being judicious one; ia
rather buy u Jersey cow.
9th. Because Mr.. II. does not
know that the most popular journ-
ais in America have spoken of even
presidential aspirants as presiden
tiul timber. If he had he would
not have objected to my term ma
teriaP' for school examiner.
9TH. Because Mr.. Ii. took many
entirely wrong views from my sug-
gestion and these views stirred up
his ire and he wrote before he knew
he was wrong. Here allow me to
suggest, Mr.. H., that you be care
} full; don't devour your prey until
you are sure you have it.
, Now, Mr.. H., I am certain had
you been fully aware of all the
, above facts you would have been
more mild in your criticism. Yet
, for my part have no offence from
it whatever, knowing that you mis-
understood my purpose. SO let us
drop personal abuse and come down
, to the question. Really, Mr.. H.,
, now in good humor, tell me caa
you see any good reason why our
! examiner should not teach our
. Normal! At some other time J
t may give some reasons why ] think
g he should.
! beg your pardon, Mr.. Editor,
| for my lengthy article, but justice
2 to myself and Mr.. Hinebaugh, a.
well as to Mr.. II. demand an ex-
! PLANTATION.
