q A few days ago Mr.. w. F. G. Shanks
the city editor of the New York Triban
e was sent to Jail by Brooklyn judge TO
: an alleged contempt of court. Th
n Tribune had printed some very just ant
4 wholesome criticisms on the infamou
: ring that is now plundering the tax
: payers of Brooklyn. Alexander McCue
q one of those robbers, in the innocenc
a of his pure aud undefiled soul, took um
!. brage at one of those articles, and Mr.
n Sharks, who was suspected Of beinl
= their author, was brought before tn
= grand jury. The first attempt to max
n anything out OF tho case was an igno
J. minious failure; but the matter we
# not abandoned, and when new jar
= was drawn Shanks was again brough
up. He was asked the name of the au
r, thor of the article which had interrupt
It ed the gtlileless McCue's slumbers. Nj
# Shanks very properly declined to an
swer that conundrum, as it was agalns
II the rules of the office in which he wa
:! en- ployed 10 divulge the authorship Q
e articles appearing in the paper. II
Al very courteously intimated that tn

I'd owned by a responsible corporation, an
'e having a responsible editor. This woIl
have been sufficient for law. but it wa
not so for the miserable satellites of EleS
# McCue; they insisted that Mr.. Shank
:. should answer their question, but M:
~ Shanks insisted that he should do n
Is such thing. and so they sent him to Ray
r mond street jail for contempt of court
y AS if anybody could have other tina
feelings of contempt for court sui
servient to such wretched highway
'r man as Alexander McCue. McCue him
W self occupies the position of City Judg
! in Brooklyn, and yet he finds time froI
e. his duties on the bench to own and bos
% half a dozen swindling rings, and to ST
y at defiance such laws as do not pleas
3 him. He has been the author of NOR
E. outrages on the taxpayers of Brookly
:. than the Tammany ring of this cit
= could ever devise. AS to the course {
D. Mr.. Sbanks iii refusing to reply to thi
lie query; he was right. The law protect
the secrets of lawyers, of physician
and of clergymen; is there any re;
son why the law should not also protet
the secrets of editors?
