was so outrageous as to Justify the act
From this we infer that Ierger was not
in the habit Of committing any justifable
acts except when he was insane.

The Noiigu IaIaIzigcacer failed to

regular publiction day for 80 years 1t

cial embarrassment. Since JohnSou's
administration went out Of power, it has
had no public patronage Other Wash>
ington papers won d probably follow its
fate if the official advertising were with~
drawn. There is some talk Of merging it
with an evening paper there, but the

doubtful if 1t ever appears again.
