Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1871-1872, 1871-08-22

calling us some mighty names, and In graft
flying bic jealous spite with q little commu-
nicssion from some Insignificant puppy in
Peoria, who is elevated far above his natural
level, as clerk, of what would be very re-
spectacle hotel, but for his presence-we
refer to the Peoria House. We admire the
pluck of the little pup who bsrks when we
pulled his ears, bat what can we say of the |
editor who will publish such a communica- |
ton knowing it to be false, as the alder |
manic party present we'll know. But jeal-
ousy will make a radical editor who thinks
be is smart do some very mean things.
Such creatures are generally capable of ex
hitting al! the base passions of humanity
they are kind Of moral assassins who strike
behind mans back an insinuated lie,
capable Of all the mesn.sprited acts of dis
reputable towards in whose heart gall has
rep laced the wholesome blood and whose
malice, Jealousy and littleness vent them
selves in Islander One would as soon trust
his purse with thief, his friendship with
bangman, or would as soon take a serpent
10 his hand or liar to his heart, as to en-,
terrain friendship or expect fairness OF
even common honesty from such q
publisher. Why the insignificant
puppy at the Peoria House lie
q peer compared to him any day, or even at
o'clock ct night. But then let the thing
play, We shall have to lie its neck chain ny
a little closer when We leave the city again
) and then if it shows its playful nature, We
shall be tempted to say something bad about
it.
