TIE SPAWNED HORSE.

About As fully as was necessary, we yes
terday expressed our unavoidable conclu-
sions concerning the Daily Territorial En-
terpyfse. We therein expressed opinions and
described characteristics which coincide exact
ly with those which have long been entertained
by the journalists and newspaper readers &C.
morally. What we said yesterday was all that
we had intended to say, considering that in
the course Of few days the Enterprise
would kill the consolidation proposition by
the natural operation Of its advocacy. twas
the chief murderer Of the State Constitution
BY the simple means Of its kindness. Under
its sheltering roof will soon be found the
dead carcass Of Consolidation. Besides its
killing hospitality toward Consolidation, it is
trying to raise an opposition to the Peoples
Union Party Of Virginia. party who de-
sire to shovel the political animals of the
Enterprise breed out Of the control of cleo
tons and city affairs. The elements Of the
new party are the best within the city-hon-
esty, honor, and integrity in all the features
of citizenship. We have said, that we had
said all that was necessary to say upon the
consolidation issue and its fatal organ. But
we wish to-day to correct errors in our arti-
cles Of yesterday. In one article, as printed,
occurs this passage:
There, except through the mushy editorial
columns Of the Enterprise may be found definite
demand for consolidation"
This, we will admit, reads just about as
mushy as any Of the editorials Of our swelled
and spawned contemporary horse" The
correct reading would be this:
There cannot be found, except through the
mushy columns Of the Enterprise, a definite
demand for consolidation. 1 .-.
A correction of one word only is demanded
in another article. We said "unaagrant
latulence." So we said in print, but not in
fact. "Uufragrant was the word, and we
employed it in connection with Aatulcnce !"
to transcend the ordinary decency of the
Enterprise in its disputes. If we had aimed
to get down to the level of our cotemporary's
defensive and offensive style, we would have
said, instead of unfragrant fatuIcnce, stink
ingly aciady.
The Enterprise Of this morning under
takes, under the caption Of {" Short Horse
is Soon Curried," to show that it is not the
solitary advocate of consolidation, and quotes
from the onion and Bulletin. We said yes
teriay that the last named papers had not
rushed into the advocacy Of consolidation
after the manner of the Enterprise, but were
restrained by their own doubts and sense Of
Justice, and by the preference Of the people
for a modification Of their separate city
governments. We stated the case exactly,
and the quotations given by the Enterprise
to sustain its falsehoods sustains only
our truths. But look little further. The
Union of this morning thunders out facts
upon the Enterprise more terribly than
we have done. The Union is showing the
habbishness of the Enterprise on the selec-
ton of candidates for the city Offices by a
"citizens'" meeting to which the Eater
prise gang were not called i; ana the tHton
thus conclusively and truthfully pours into
the "disa!fec.cd reformer" on the charter
and consolidation questions:
THE heavily pressed taxpayers and others ct
those citizens whose city pride urges them to in
vcs.isute rcputcd i'll practices, and devise ways
and means of remedy, have combined in consul
tatious upon stated plans OF improving the frame
work of the city government. a new charter.
IN amended charter and consolidation of city and
county, are the measures under consideration, in
the order in which we have here placed them.
The Enterprise decided that the popular notion
of not abandoning the position OF a distinct city
organization was not worthy OF approval, and
tia: no remedy could be obtained except from
such abandonment. Accordingly it goes for con.
solidatioD, and tumbles into the question in such
a manner rs to create n counter agitation in q
neishboring community, and TO cuscndcr con-
tempt for the public spirit Of our citizens"
