DON'T CARE IF IT Is PROVED WRONG.

We occupied some Valuable space, on Satur-
day, by printing an extensive list OF news items
which the COMMERCIAL had published, in ad-
vance of EUery EUening, for the simple purpose
of demonstrating the inaccuracy of the latter
paper, when it declared, February 18th, that it
was " so rare an occurrence for any item of
news to appear in the COMMERCIAL before it ap-
peared in Eoery EUening, that it ran no risk in
" quite frequently emitting to read the COM
MERcIAL, at all.
Now, the facts given on Saturday very thor
oughly riddled and exposed the untruthfulness
OF EUe'y Euening's yaunt. They proved, not
only that its copying OF items from our columns
was frequent and not ''rare" " but also that 80 far
from its being safe for its conductors to neglect
reading the COMMERCIAL, they would lose a large
portion of their news by such an omission, and
were quite too wise to take the risk Their own
columns showed that they appreciated the con-
trary rule.
Yesterday our neighbor, upon considers
ton of the case against it. declined to make any
defence, explanation, or retraotion, of its pre-
tences Of the 18th inst, but affected an indifer-
ence in regard to the whole matter. 1t says !:
1--WE do not feel enough interest in the mat
ments, nor do what we might do, balance the
account by the mention of an equal number OF
really important items of news in which we
have been ahead of it, and some OF which have
never appeared in it's columns at all. We never
objected to its using our items. We merely
criticised ts claiming Of them as peculiarly its
own when thus obtained"
This is 81 confession and avoidance, as law
yers say. The issne is evaded-doubtless pru-
IDENTIFY. Eoery EUenang does not feel interest
enough to examine our demonstration of its mac
curacy, In other words, it doesn't care whether
its own statement is shown to be true or false
This is a queer carelessnsss! 1t is not offer
that people feel Indifferent whether their state
ments are proven untrue or not-Hnless indeed
It be those who are Indifferent what the state
ments themselves may be.
Every Euening intimates, (Which is better, in
such case, than to assert,) that the account
against it could be " balanced" by the mention
of important items, equal in number to our lsi
of Saturday, which it published and the CONNER
oIAL did not. Assuming this claim to refer to
news from original sources, we question it's
truth, without hesitation. We do not believe it
has published five really important items of

How q Dog Yves !" sold. >,

The Troy Times says Here is true dog
story A family down town having false CRATE
in one of the rooms of the house placed some
red paper behind it to give the effect of fire.
One of tine coldest days this winter the dog be-
longing to the household came in from out OF
DOORS and seeing the paper in the CRATE de-
liberately walked up to it and laid down before
it, curled up in the best way to receive the glow
ing heat as it came from the fire. He remained
motionless for q few minutes feeling no warmth
he raised his head and looked over his shoulder
at the CRATE still feeling no heat he arose and
carefully applied his nose to the CRATE and sniel
Of it. It was as cold az ice. With look of the
most supreme disgust his tail curled down be-
tween his legs, every hair on his body saying "I'm
sold " the dog trotted out of the room, not
even deigning to cast a look at the party in the
room who had watched his actions and laughed
so heartily at his misfortunes. That dog had
reason as we'll as instinct.

Speaker Lesley has thought better of il. He
concludes that it may be prudent to concede
something to the popular demand, and compro-
mise somewhat the claims of his peculiar friends
the fee-grabbers. He now suggests that one
ha!fa workman's wages shall be exempt from
attachment Considering the manner in which
he compsssed the defeat of the original bill, this
proposition of Mr.. Lesley strikes US as rather
contamptible.

Under the above title, DR. D. ". Maull, at the
request of many who--heard the original paper
read, has had printed little pamphlet, covering
the whole ground Of the proposition to establish

life, limb and health, existing in large city, and
the need there is for 3 proper public institution
to treat these cases.
Appended TO the pamphlet are the act of the

the Constitution adopted by the Corporation.

Eoe'y EUening concludes that the editors Of
the COMMERCIAL regularly read it, (E. E.) Well
it is very likely, and we confess we should have
q poor opinion of the capacity Of q journalist
who did not |" regularly read his local contem-
poraries. His act would be almost as bad as to
pretend he didn't, while he was regularly ="

The Republicans of Minnesota planted their
banners as far in advance as did their brethren
OF Name and Iowa. The platform adopted,
the nominations made, and the general spirit
manifested by the Convention, which met at
st. Paul, were excellent IN all respects, and
gave more proof Of the remarkable strength of
the popular uprising against corruption and
dishonesty in all its forms. The platform, III
Its first PLANK, declared that the Republican
party should be 'wise and just enough to cor
rect its own errors and abuses" and then
after denouncing monopohes and all legisla-
tion conrerrng vested rights upon powerful
corporations, proceeded as follows:
" Resolced, We heartily applaud the active
measures OF the late Congress IN ferritiDg out
and exposing corruption. We have Sc en- with
profound regret, in the developments made
thereby, evidence of political and official cor
ruption and the abuse OF responsible positions
by men Of all political parties to further per-
sonal ends, and we demand pure official con-
duct and the punishment OF unfaithfui public
men, State and National, who, having betrayed
the confidence freely extended to them shall
not be shielded from the disgrace of their acts
by any craftsmanship OF ours; and we denounce
all Credit Mobiler transactions whatever be
their form. That we heartily endorse the ac-
ton OF the late Legislature in instigating and
reforming the abuses in the Office of State
Treasurer.
@ 'ResolUed, When retrenchment is required
to tighten the burden of taxation and to con-
tinue the reduction OF the public debt an in
crease Of salaries is unwise We condemn
without reserve the voting or receiving of in
creased pay Tor services already rendered, and
demand that the provisions of the late act of
Congress, by which the salaries were increased,
should be promptly and Internationally re-
pealed."
The nominee for Governor, Mr.. G.. Il. DAVIS,
represented the popular hostility to the profess
sional politicians, and to the wire-pullers who
we're reputed to belong to divers rings" which
have IN the past exercised no little control in
the State IIo is young man Of fine abilities
aud excellent character, and his political career
has been straightforward, manly and in
dependent. In bis speech, accepting the
nomination. he reiterated the sentiments of
the platform, and declared himself fully IN
accord with all It's utterances. Concerning
Mr.. Davis nomination and his prospects. the
st. Paul Press, the most influential OF the
journals which opposed him throughout the
canvass, says this:
" Under all the circumstances the result of
the contest is q splendid victory for MIR. Davis
or rather 1t is victory Of the people who spon.
taneousy accepted him as their leader. over
the politicians. That a young man with no

In another column of this issue Will be found
card of Mr.. Sheppard Homans, one of the
beet known among the actusries Of the leading
Life Insurance Companies Of the United States,
In the card referred to, 1t will be seen that
Mr.. Winston. the present President Of the
New York Mutual Life Insurance Company, is
running that company after the same manner
that Fisk and Gould ran the Erie Railroad,
and Commodore Vanderbilt is now running the
Central Ralroad-that he got control of the
company by means of gathering up from un
suspectng policy holders proxies, by which
means he was enabled to elect his friends TO all
the lucrative positions in the company, and
drive out all who we're too honest to favor
bis schemes Of plundenng the benefciaries Of
deceased policy holders. We had learned
some time since that MIR. Wiuston had secured
enough proxies from the policy holders in that
great company, to entirely control all elections,
and insure to himself the position OF dictator.
II this is so, the people should give this COM
pany a wide berth. Men invest their hard
earnings in Life Policies for the benefit Of
their wives and children, after they themselves
have passed away. II those claims are to be
cut down. and the wives and children defraud-
ed, after the husband and father has for years
contributed much of his hard earnings under
the delusion that he was providing for his
family, the fact should he widely known. But
let the article speak for itself.
