First, lotus rebife the Consul General for
his shocking profanity. Profanity is 4
wicked habit. lie should get rid OF It, be.
cause it is wicked
Next, he is wrong in saying that he is not
public man. If anybody can be more
"publc' than he is. we would like to know
hun. Could the late Henry J. RAYMoSp
say that he was not n public man? How
much less can his succossor-wc mean in
Journalist c distinction-claim that lie is MT
pu, lie?
The Consul General says he .s friend of
JONI RUSSELL YOUNG and that we speak
of him as if he was nm Algcrine pirate or n
Greek hriCanl. E ther an Algerine pirate
or Greek brigani-in the estimation Of
New York to-iay-wonld be gentleman as
compared with a friend of the Sneak News
Thief, JoHS RUSSELL YoUEo. Docs Bur,
IED admit that he is friend Of stealing ?
| To say be is n friend Of YoUSG IS REGARDED
as equivalent to that.
