NO NIGGER IN THE wOODPILE

NO NIGGER IN The WOODA
To the Editor of the Optic.
ALBUQUERQUE, N NJ, Jan. 9Th 1881.
khave recsvea a copy'of The OPTIC
and am glad to note that you published
the Commercial Club letter in regard to
reform IN our city and county govern
ment, but l find no editorial comment.
I assume thst you, in common WIN
every taxpayer, are in sympathy
With the effort and I wish to assure you
hat there is no s'niRger" in this wood
pile. 1, is a movement for the good OF
every citizen and l sincerely hope that
you will publish something from time
to time, urging the Importance OF get
ting some relief from the coming legis'
latSre in this respect. There will prob
ably be some opposition from the
lobby, who are interested in roboing
the people that is to say, the rest OF
us. and 1t IS important to create
healthy public sentiment on the
question. 80,
The influence OF THE OPTIc is grea'
and should be thrown on the side OF TN
people.
Yours truly,
w p. METCALF, Secretary.

An Expert to Come.

A very wise decision has been ar
rived at by the Government, and the
Special Committee on Forestry of
the Hawaiian Planters Association.
They have invited r. E. Furnow,
Chief of the Division OF Forestry of
the United States Department OF
Agriculture, to spend his next years
vacation in the islands, and to make
special examination aud report of
our rapidly decreasing Hawaiian
forests.
His report will undoubtedly be of
immense value to our agriculturists
in pointing out the best method OF
aiding our natural watersheds in at
tracing and preserving our fair
share Of the rainfall
1t is understood that the expenses
of the expert will be shared by the
Planters and the taxpayers as all are
equally interested in the preserva-
tion OF an adequate water supply.

Stop See-Sawing

This see-sawing in connection
with cricket matches and games
makes it very annoying to players
and press alike. Two afternoon
papers yesterday announced, on
authority, game for this afternoon
with the baseball players, and one,
on authority also it is presumed,
that there would be no game. The
information given by the latter is
echoed by this mornings paper.
The press is unanimous in its desire
to help this and all other manly
games and sports, but its patience
aud that OF the players themselves
is being severely taxed by indecision
or the force Of circumstances. II
the cricketers find they cannot get
up game after it has been once
announced, let the captain run the
risk and treat it as practice for all
who turn up. Practice is sorely
needed by many who do not get a
chance to play in match games
