Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1870-12-22
SOMEWHAT RILED. {"

SOMEWHAT KILLED."
We notice that our seuib con-
corning. Warsaw's "soiled doves" "
has touched the Editor of the In
dianian 10 rather q tender spot. He
opens on us with loaded half col
umn of virtuous Indignation. for
having merely suggested that it
does make some difference whose
OK is gored," AM as a set-off
against the IRdianian silence in
relation to certain parties implica-
ted in the lale "mpleasantness
there, he rather loudly intimates
that the REPUBLICAN, was somewhat
deficient in vertebral infiexibility in
regard to the case which created so
much excitement here last winter /;
anil he undertakes to claim the
credit OF having " forced us out
IN regard 10 the matter, as many of
our citizens told him So" With
all due Difference to the information,
we happen TO know that our paper
was published as soon as the lndi-
anian, and both contained the same
statements in regard to the matter,
ard about the same amount of edit
orial, and if the Ladianian' editori-
al was sharper and more severe than
the RErUBLIcAN's, it only showed
that its Editor had the advantage OF
us in his capacity in that line. We
certainly did our best At any rate
we shall not follow the example Of
his saintliness and visit Warsaw in
hopes o. having the plaudits and
congratulations of the citizens for
having Z" forced him out in the
matter referred to-" as our efforts
in that direction haye been q total
failure. We search the columns of
the Indianian to find the names of
the parties implicated with the
{" soiled doves" and indicted by the
Grand Jury, but our search is vain.
Not man mentioned-not house
designated. More things than char
ity should begin al home. The
public-the mass of decent people |!
has the right to know with whom
it ought not to shake hands-whose
acquaintance it ought not to culti-
vate. We know it is hard for an
editor to publish the delinquencies
of his own friends and neighbors,
TO put in print as malefactOrs the
names of his own social companions
men he shakes hands with when
lie meets and walks upon the street,
and perhaps hob nobs with over
brandy smash, but when truth and
the public good demand it, it should
lie done, fearlessly and impartially,
but without malice. Ii rumor tells
half the truth, there are matters Of
more importance than the plLcking
of soiled doves tbat nee.l atten-
ton from the Warsaw journals, and
if friend Reuben had not been
troubled with trifing local weak
ness" we might have heard some
thing OF the sad case Of the little
country girl who loved "not wisely
nut too well - the prescriptions ~ |
of a celebrated medical gentleman,
who don't reside in Plymouth, and
we might have been Informed as to
the value in gold OF certain g legal
tender notes." which was lately
pounced upon by the wife of the
81 holder thereof" very much to tue
of the legal owner, and
the utter decentralization OF o couple
of families; and we certainly should
have, as in the case last spring. the
n ames, residences and occupation o.
the parties indicted by the Grand
Jury in Warsaw, for keeping houses
of i'll fame. Now, does it not really
make q difference whose OK is |
