that the above sentiments come from it.
for we believe the editor is sincere and
means what he writes, and he is justified

are glad that the Gold Hill News seems
desirous of showing a spirit of fair play,
and of awarding merit and justice to par
ties when they are deserving. In its prin-

the Irish people, as a body, to the United
States, nothing can possibly be more ao-

it and had their feelings not been out

people in this great country, both native
and foreign born, to live in harmony and
a good means to produce this is, to drop
ali insinuating and insulting slang, as ap-

Irish element in America, has been, is
now, and will be. Of healthful, moral and
virtuous character-physically and men
