Wants to Vote for Postmaster.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
In the Journal of to-day is a dispatch
from Anderson which says that Represent
ative Charles l.. Henry is opposed to local
elections for the purpose of choosing can
didates for postmaster. If thst dispatch in
dicates Mr.. Henrys real sentiments he is
certainly in a poor way to win the good
will of the people / do not know how it
is elsewhere. but / know that the people
of this vicinity are in favor of selecting
their own candidates for the important Of
fee of postmaster. Why should Mr. Henry
be allowed to select our postmaster?
Haven't the people who elected Mr.. Henry
got sense enough to judge for themselves
when IL comes to a local question like this?
Who favors having the Congressman make
a choice for this office? Only the man who
has pull with some politician. We do
not want man for postmaster who has
a pull" 1t Is certainly the right of the
postoffce patron to say who shall conduct
that office. As nuch people respect
Mr.. Henry IL is but natural they should OBJ
iect TO his selecting their postmaster.

for the tray than is the native teacher,
for whom the most of the difficulties do
not exist. The native French teacher is
the worst of all, for the reason that he
never corrects.
The pupil who has learned French by
means of conversation cannot read a line,
far less write one.
The conversational method of teaching
a language is worthless; not one gooe re-
suit have l ever seen obtained by it.
I again repeat that the best schools
employ one who has mastered a foreign
tongue, in preference to a native teacher.
OF course, those who have mastered and
speaka foreign tongue correctly are very
rare.
