INVESTIGATION.

In THE BEE of July 16, Secretary J. J. Northrop asks why do not make charges against him, etc. Has any reader of THE BEE discovered any disposition on my part to make charges against Brother Northrop? Has there been any evidence of 8 personal quarrel on my part with any one? Have I been in haste about these matters? Have I not tried to avoid charges and investigation by asking for an explanation of matters of public busi- ness concerning which I am also respon- sible as a school visitor? Has not our sec retary been paid out of the public treas ury for doing the work which is the sub ject of inquiry? Is not he the one above all others who should be able and willing to explain what he claims can be ''easily IexplaIned."
 What would be the use of bring ing this matter before the board? Could the two sides of this board possibly agree in such 8 matterp Would it not be very ''discourteous" for one side to report any thing concerning the other? Besides, is it not really the board that is under in vestigation? Is our secretary indepen- dent of the board; or Is he part of it? Is he responsible to the board; or is the board responsible to the town for the work done by the secretary? have spent no little time and labor over these mat. ters, not just for fun, not merely because l have suffered insult and abuse for do- ing my duty, not just for Ia little news paper nOtoriety," but because it is such an honor to have it known that I am a member of the board of school yisi. tors (D.-[O. o.

posing them to find in this fierce animal from
the North such a suavey handsome and CIVIL
lied man as we beheld in the portrait painted in
London in 1893. Neither had they the insight
to discern in Peter the stuff Of his race and
time. Had they seen him from the correct point
of view they would have left better account
of him. M. WalisZewski goes to the core or the
matter when he says: "Pcter was the representa-
tive OF n society in process Of formation, into
which his historical premises and his own per-
sonaI initiative had introduced and continued
to maintain. diverse and opposing elements OF
fcrmentation-a society in which nothing stable,
nothing consecrated, and. therefore, nothing
sacred, existed" All the accustomed phenomena
of social evolution must be forgotten in the
study Of a monarch like this; his traits and
deeds must be considered apart.
He was a huge mastodon," said NJ. Walls
zewski. "and his moral proportions were all
colossal and monstrOus like those OF the ante
diluvian flora and fauna" The judgment is
borne out by innumerable incidents of his reign.
