The Rutland daily globe. [volume] (Rutland, Vt.) 1873-1877, 1873-07-26

courteous salutation was very refreshing
indeed"
The Free Press and Times copies the
above and adds
"This 'high-falutin chap ought to take
few lessons from Mr.. Stapleton, the
clever local editor of the Herald, who
thoroughly abominates newspaper gas of
the above sort.
AS the "reporter alluded to is one of
the qwoprietory of the Herald the joke is
made still better and the advice given in the
latter extract decidedly rich, although just.
Despite the fact of his inability as shown
fully in the above specimens the same gen
tleman wends his reportorial way to the
beautiful village of Manchester and while
there succeeds In securing very cen
viable reputation as a newspaper reporter,
as the following from the Journal of that
town distinctly suggests
"Our office received call the other day
from Mr.. Reddington, one of the proprie-
tors of the Rutland Herald. Mr.. Redding-
ton gave a very pleasant account of Man.
chester and its surroundings in the Herald,
but mentions among the many objects visi-
BILE from the top of Mt. Equinox, Mt
Anthony Observatory at Bennington. Con-
sidering that said observatory has been
down two years we are forced to the con-
clusion that we reporter had something
in his eye"
Taking all these things into consideration
this picking up of mistakes and attempting
to magnify them into something of import
ance, comes with very bad grace from this
HeraM concern who repeatedly subject
themselves to ridicule in worse manner
than any of their contemporaries. 1t was
not long since that the said sheet published
list of deaths under the head of marriages
and vice gersa, while they are continually
crying out against all mistakes committed
by others.
This last attack, however, is the most
senseess of any, and when properly an
swered falls fiat. The people know full
well how this system of attack and spite is
brought about and why it emanates so pro-
fusely in the scholastic breast of Eye man.
aging editor" All the talk INDUCED in
upon the street is not so easily swallowed
and digested as that parsonage may sup
pose, but on the contrary, we are not sure
but these stories may yet ''come home to
roost," to the sorrow as well as astonish-
ment of the distinguished debater on "com-
parative merits of newspapers"
We have known two papers to be pub
lishcd in one town tremendously and with
out these disgraccful attacks of one upon
the other, which have been made by our
elder brother since first the GLOBE was
started. We had desire and right to
expect such state of affairs here, and in
pursuance of that idea we answered not
for long time the vllifying attacks and
misrepresentation made against us by the
contemporary under consideration. For
bearance, however, ceases to be virtue,
sometimes. and we consider we have good
cause to reply with scorn to these base ex-
hibitions of ''malice aforethought which
are continually appearing in the columns
of the Herald.
The propensity of this sheet to appro-
pirate what belongs to other people Is
shown in the fact that the Danbury Neos
accuses it of stealing items from that paper
and publishing them as original, and with
good reason, although the Ne'cs may rest
assured that the people of Rutland are not
liable to be fooled as regards their originate
ty when they take into account the brains
that are hired to prepare such ''news"
This propensity is well exhibited in the
uncalled-for attack upon us yesterday
morning and places the editors In the same
predicament as told of the man who stole
his neighbours corn-the neighbor said moth
ing of the theft but the thief eliminated
himself. We sent none of the weekly
dailies" out and yet one was found in the
enemies camp. Wherefore ?
