LICKING AN EDITOR. DR.. Jones, Of
New York, told the subjoined exceeding
ly laughable story at recent celebration
of a Welsh society, the authenticity OF
which has been vouched for:
Editors, he said were like other shrewd
men, have to live with their eyes and
ears open. | have heard related the
story of an editor who started paper in
new village at the West. The town
was infested with gamblers, whose pres
ence was annoying to the citizens, who
told the editor that if he did not come
out against them they would not take his
paper. He replied that he would "give
'em a smasher" the next day. And sure
enough, his next issue did contain the
promised smasher," which did not be-
lie its name.
On the following morning the redoubt-
able editor was seated, scissors in hand,
in his sanctum, cutting out news when
in walked large man, cudgel in his
hand, and asked:
F" Is the editor in?"
NO, SIT, was the reply, " ne has
gone out. Take a seat and read the pa
pers, he will be in in few moments"
Down sat the indignant man of cards,
crossed his legs with his club between
them, and commenced reading news
paper. In the meantime the editor qui-
city vamosed down stairs, and at the
landing below met another excited man
with cudgel in his hand, who also asked:
Is the editor in 2"
Yes, sir, was the prompt response;
"you will find him up stairs, reading
newspapers"
The latter, on entering the room,
finding the editor" prepared to meet
him with his club, with a furious oath
commenced violent assault upon the
former, which was resisted with equal
ferocity The fight was continued until
both had rolled down to the foot of the
stairs, and pounded each other to their
hearts content.
This was equal and exact justice"
all around, and it is to be lamented that all
attacks upon honest and free speaking
editors against great evils, should not
result in a similar manner.
