Alger and Miles, each accusing
the other of being insane, reminds
the outsider to remark that both
are probably mistaken, and both
are probably fools.
If nothing unseen happens to
prevent one more issue of the
Monitor in its present style tbili
bring us back to our old size. The
• ash has been Sent forward for the
repaired part to our press and we
are in hopes that it will arrive in
time for the paper week after
next.
Mrs. L. W. Dozier, lately con¬
nected with the Morgan High
School, was notified last week by
the trustees at Knighton’s, that
she was unanimously elected at
their last meeting, as their assis¬
tant. teacher. The school is in
Randolph county and is quite
large, enrolling as high as an
hundred pupils. It is in a tine
neighborhood, the surrounding
people being well known as good
prosperous citizens. They have
elected as their principal, Prof.
Leroy Crittenden, .of Shellman.
During Mrs. Dozier's long con¬
nection with the Morgan school
her record lias been exceptionally
good, and while her many friends
dislike to give her up, still they
a re glad to know she lias secured
a good position, and we are cer¬
tain their best wishes follow her
to this new field of labor. We
commend her to out Rahdolph
t ri( lids as a lady and a teacher
worthy of their patronage and
friendship.

Our school will open on Mon¬

From indications it is apparent
the Republican party is very
, tar from , . bem^ . . Iiappy taimlv , ..
a at
present and that there are some
very large skeletons in several of
its official closets. It the Inter¬
ior department, Commissioner
Evans of the pension bureau and
Assistant Secretary Davis are at
swords points, rarely agreeing in
the matter of pensions decisions.
Davis overrides Evans
Bliss sustains his assistant. Hliss
arid Evans, therefore, do not
speak as they pass by, and Evans
is firmly convinced that when ig-
norance is Bliss, it is useless for
him, Evans, to be as wise as he
would otherwise attempt to be.
In the War Department, the
ger-Shafter-Miles imliroglio is
public property and its settlement
which must necessarily be given
to the public also, promises to
furnish some very interesting
reading. Outside of the national
Republican household, the family
relationships in New York and
Pennsylvania are anything but
pleasant. The Quay and Wanna-
maker fight is not at all pretty X
it stands, and in New York, even
the cohesion of public plunder
cannot apparently hold Seimt.-r
1 latt, and his creation of two
years ago, Governor Black, to
gether much longer. In these
two latter eases, the only consola-
tion for the public is that, when
rogues fall out, honest men some-
times get their dues.
