we did not mean; never a word that
we would take back. Neither ourselves

Neither ourselves nor the Banner ever

the Banner, and Banners readers dis
pIse compromises of principle.

THE SPRAGUE-ABB0TT DUEL.

The Abbott and Sprague controversy IS
the most remarkable exhibition Of weakness
that has appeared in high places for some
time. Sprague called Abbott puppy
cur" md Abbott said Tint Sprague had
s.skulked" ont Of the Senate Chamber to
avoid responsibility It is added that Alb
bott threatened that, unless Sprague re-
tracted, he would pull his nose or box his
enrs. The two men played their parts as
low comedians with considerable success;
eocl ''staycd ut home ill day to hear from
the other, and, while at home, entertained
crowds Of visitors with private repctitions
Of the epithets ind1llgcl in in the Senate.
Instead Of permitting these two men to con
time the laughing stock Of the country,
crave Senators, like Sherman and Sumner,
hnd tue ll-g1ace to interfere. Just Us tho
people had reached the conclusion that
| Spraele's estimate Of Abbott, and Abbott's
estimate Of Spraguc, were very nearly, Il
not quite, true, why should Sherman and
Sumner interpose their offices to arrest the
mutual exposu1c of these men Of their dis
graceful unftness for the Office they hold
And what d 1nudl]e they have made Of it.
Spacue, in his speech, said that the aEg'1-
uents Of the :" Senator from Nevada nnd
| the Seuator fror North Carolina reminded
him Of tho proceedings Of little puppy
aud large mastin. Messrs. Sumner anti
Sherman hnve made the little pop-gun Of
Rhode Island write letter stating THAT that
,nrt Of his speech had been written q week
before Abbott had male his speech, md con-
sequently could not hive referred to Abbott.
Upon this explanation Abbott declares him
self satisfied. But is not tho explanation
!. false on its fnce ? How could he Inv.
/ written in his speech rcfcrenceto Abbott:
speech made week latcrs bad he
knowledge that Abbott intended to speak
and wrote out his reply week ahead: Il
cxtsicating tho little man Of Rhode Islam
!, from the danger Of having his nose pnlle
i ! or his ears boxed, Sherman and Sn1nne
IS have mado him falsify the record he ha
II preyiously made. If the reference to 'th
!, Senator of North Carolina did not mea
II Abbott, did it mean the other Senator, Ill
e Fool? If SO, what IL TO be done with Pool
re Can Pool live in North Carolina with thl
:. implied reference to him rs 's Il puppy III
&c rcttac,ed? As Abbott has been let out, I
, whom else tlnn Pool does tho '' 'Senntorfro'
y y North Carolina" apply? Is Pool rs gra'
n an ass Us Abbott, or will he avoid publ
n contempt by letting Spraguo alide into O.
n. sc,,risy: This whole affair, ridiculous NJ
:" disgrace full us it is, is but fitting finale
eT Spn,gue's desperate effort to make hlmse
III from \ pig1ny into a giant He has n
eh read the fable Of the frog which sought
H. mike itself eqnal to the OK in size with ar
profit, aud hence has experienced the san
sad fate.

discussing whether the newspapers should

ard whether the same newspapers hna not
eonplimented the selection Of the South
Side Commissioners little more ex-
trasagsntly Than they did that Of
tho West Side Commissioners. The
formal complaint that the newspapers
had failed to compliment tho West Side
Commissioners wns m exhibition Of
weakness which many people will assume az
conclusive evidenoe that the papers acted
wisely. Some OF them were in such r pet
because tho newspapers Ind not spoken Of

ization, however, VIC beg leave to sa.
