The lirenhara Dinner thinks the Light
was premature In its criticism upon State En-
gineer Iltitlon and that It should have waited
for his official report which we should most
certainly have done had Mr. Brilton refrained
from communicating his opinions to several

The following extract from the National
Republican shows how harmonious the Dem-
ocratic parly ii and how its greed for office
sows the seed of discord broadcast In its
ranks the moment It attains a slice of the
official loaf. The picture is not at all compli-
mentary to the palriloism and purily of a party
which lays claim ts every shred and scrap of
the purity and patriotism floating about la the
Union. Greediness of office does nut com.
port exietly with patriotism and purity. But
Mr. Atkins charges Speaker Carlisle with
patriotism of an eipress promise a thing
considered as highly ungentlemanly in all
civilized nations by men who claim to be
gentlemen but he accuses him of entering
into a corrupt pool or ring with Winter'
smith Clark and Lccdom to secure his elcC'
lion as Speaker That Is a serious charge
and comes from a life long Democrat who
has never flinched or filtered. Mr. Atkins
hat not denied the statement of his views
made by the Republican and for that reason
the same may be taken to be true however
damaging It may be to Speaker Carlisle and
the Democratic party. The great reform
party is In need of reformation Itself from eel
lir to cockloft and we fear a thorough refor
mation would about render it Insolvent:
General J. D. C. Atkins of Tennessee
who was the defeated candidate for the nlace
of Clerk of the House is in a bad state of
mma over the result lie Is outspoken and
venomous In his denunciation of the methods
employed to defeat him. His account of the
battle is not complimentary to Mr. Carlisle.
and he Intimates that a man mar even aspire
to the distinculshed part of Sneaker and vet
break his word. General Atkins is one of
the Tennesseeans who has been conspicuous
uy a song icrra oi service in congress. lie
was first elected io l8;6.and served two terms
before the war. During the war he was a
member of the Confederate Conerets. and
since the war he has served four terms in the
United btates Congress bince he was 21
years old he has been almost continuously in
hleh office and It may be presumed that he is
a strong man In Tennessee. He claims that
an overwhelming msjnrity of Democrats In
the present House promised to vote lor him.
His successful opponent was Genersl lohn
B. Clark of Missouri who has served five
terms in Congress General Atkins openly
asserts that he was defeated by shameless
trickery. He said yesterday "I want the
people to know that I would not have ac-
cented the Clerkship of the House
with the conditions under which It Is now
occupied. I was simply beaten out of
It by a ring and by a bulldozing process that
do not reflect anv credit upon themenwho en
gineered it. If all the members who were
pledged to me nau votea lor me i snouia nav
been elected bv 2t maloritv. and as it was. i
was elected my a majority of 4. But the
changes that followed in consequence of the
bullying process that was employed were
enouirh to beat roe. and that was the only
thing that did beat mc. In fact I was beaten
by a ring organized lor that purpose."
In a further conversation with friends Gen
cral Atkins said that the "ring" against lilm
comDrlsed. amoni? others. Mr. Carlisle Mr
Wintersmltb and Mr. Leedom. "I had the
positive promise." said he. "of Mr Carlisle
vjte for me for Clerk and yet In the caucus
ne went right up ana votea sor warx. -Genersl
Atkins further Intimated that
cumber of Tennesseans who voted for Carlisle
would not have done so If they had antici-
pated the act of treachery. The General Is
certainly mad all through at the way in which
he has been (rested and there is no doubt
but that he will project a first-class row in the
Democratic camp on account 01 It
It fkiquently happens' thai an orator Is a
very Indifferent writer; that the molt admira
ble writer Is a slouch as an orator; that a
general of the first class Is neither a writer or
an orator; that a painter Isno shoemskcr and
shoemaker It no .painter and so on to the
end of the chapter. Sir Isaac Newton was a
great philosopher and mathematician but it
Is reported of him that he cut a hole in his
door for his cat and then cut a smaller hole
for her kittens. A military man may handle
brigade finely and yet be a failure as a
corps commander. We concede that Pro-
fessor llalbcdl Is an accomplished scholar and
good teacher that he Is "a round pin in a
round hole" as a teacher but it by no means
follows that he would make a good President
f a railroad a successful hotel keeper a
useful cow boy a first-class editor or a good
President of a college because each of these
callings demands capacities adapted to Its
peculiar duties. Consequently when Pro-
fessor llalbcdl branches out from his own
profession wherein we admit him to be a pro-
ficient his opinions are of no more worth than
those of any oilier well educated man. It is
disparagement of his fitness as a teacher
to doubt his ability to drive a coach and four
or to edit Texas Siftings or to run a hotel or
to act as a Sheriff simply for the reason
that his training and experience as a teacher
has not fitted him for these vocations. A man
may be a tip top scholar and yet a poor In-
structor from lack of executive ability and
the faculty of Imparling knowledge and he
may be a capital instructor and yet a poor
executive or administrative head of the public
school system of a county or a district.
IWcssor Halbedl has lost sight of this great
truth and fallen Into a vicious habit of gen-
eralization which is the besetting sin of the
age. Every man knows it to be a fact that
one-half of the 200 county judges in Texas are
utterly wanting In suitableness for the heads of
public schools in the county and that the
other half have judicial duties enough to de-
mand their undivided time and attention If
they are properly discharged and the logical
sequence from this state of facts is that a
change is absolutely necessary In order to
render the public schools efficient. The
Lic.tlT is not after currying the favor bf this
or that man not of whitewashing this or that
rficer because it depends upon the people
for Its supports and therefore it can afford to
pronounce the present school system a botch.
The county judges have no more business
being the head of the public schools in their
counties than the sheriffs the county clerks
or district clerks and all men gifted with
common sense fully comprehend this
truth. It is a fact which is as
plain as a knot on a tree and the
Light cannot close its eyes to it. We
do not believe la panaceas or cureall nor
In a bed of I'rocrustes to which everything Is
to be fitted and adjusted hence we decidedly
dissent from Professor Ilalbedl'a general
maxim that ''wise supervision will make com-
petent teachers." It is a snare and 1 de-
lusion as are all universal maxims. The
Supervisor can only employ the most
competent of those who offer he cannot com-
pel men and women to become teachers
nolens volens and this oae fact knocks all
the underpinning from under Professor Hal
bedl's universal maxim or theory and tumbles
It Into the mud. Then a person may possess
scholorship to a high degjee and may pass a
most splendid examination and yet lack the
patience decision and the suavitcr In modo
wilb the fortiter in re which a successful
teacher must possess. The "wise super-
vision" cannot impart these trails and quali-
ties any more than It can transform a dunce
into a genius or "gather figs from thistles."
Put a man in charge of the public schools
and make that his exclusive business and he
will probably do much better than one who
has half a dozen Irons in the fire at once.
Separate the public schools from politics and
partizanship and you will vastly improve
them In all respects. Hedge them in from
cliques and rings and you elevate them to a
higher plane of dignity and usefulness. We
are decidedly in favor of a change and an im-
provement in the school system ; but In our
judgment the views of Professor Halbedl are
theoretical and unsound.
Carlisle Uie Speuker.
The agony protracted at It was over the
election of Speaker having resulted In the
choice of Carlisle of Kentucky the business
Interests of the country will continue to flow in
their accustomed channels while Wolfson
draws attention of all classes protectionists
and free traders that their wives can purchase
from him at reasonable figures anything in
his stock. He has just invoiced a late ar-
rival of ladles' circulars of the latest and most
fashionable styles. Also velvets and
velveteens plain and embossed of assorted
colors. Ladies' handkerchiefs hem stitched
or scalloped together with skirts plain
colored and embroidered are selling rapidly
and pleasing everybody. Among his newest
goods ordered by telegraph Is a splendid
stock 01 nates' ana misses' shoes and ties. In
the millinery line the fabric and styles are of
the latest fans and New York designs. The
furnishing and trimming of every bonnet is
under the superintendence ol a lady accom-
coroptished in this line of woik. Wollson's
emporium is complete In every line of goods
carried. But this is a truism of his long
established trade which scarcely needs repeti-
lon nere.
