The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1874-08-06

In the last Chronicle " Penn +" has given
Us the lrreyereut as our 'aeog, and assum-
cd the pAaosopAtc himself. We don't
care, as We feel sure that be has never 10
ticed an ebb or tide 10 our. reverence for
hin. and can fill the bill in any event,
while We have the grayest doubts Of
" Penis" ability to perscnate The charac-
ter assumed. In his last effort he charges
that the school in which the PILoT evi-
IDENTIFY wa. well taught. teaches its pupils
to abuse the plaintiffs attorney when their
case is weak, and maryels at the success
before a jury, especially when the jurymen
arc ignorant; but that intelligent persons
are invariably Disguised, ani, for a clinch-
er, winds up that part Of his attack Is
quoting Senator Morton's personal abuse
Of Senator Schurz, during the financial de-
bate in the Senate last winter. This las.
effort, We thiak, is somevh hat weakened by
the fact Il at we are not so me IN as to
attempt to Iersonato Morton, and in his
case ne has made a most ianoble failure 10
persenating Sthurz. for which SchuIz
might justly prosecute Inn for LIBEL.
lie says that We have insu ted tie inteili-
gencc of our readers( the juryl; that We ad-
Just Christianity to Reecher's stature; til
diamonds were not worthless because Of
their discovery by "pem;" that occasion
ally good article appears in the PnoT;
a wholesome truth Is told; a correct prin
ciple is stated, etc.
This inst statement, appealing, as 1t
does to our nagpauimity, is utterly over
powered by our vanity, and we greet thee.
I Pen" with more than q usual effort at
,ca,ieSome truth teiitny. Please take .ut
your diary and chalk down few more Oh
our credit side.
/ lst. That large majority Of our readers
are much more intelligent than L" Penn, y
and that we have not Insulted them in
thought or word.
%. When the financial skies are clear
we shall urge the Investment Of unempleY
Ell capital in manufacturing, provided
always, that the Investment can be made
with men both capable and honest il
managing the ENTERPRISE
Sd. That we know whereof we speak
as we have invested twenty five dollars /
year, for the last three years, in a manu-
facturipg establishment in this city in ad
veltising the frm through the columns o
The PILoT. In fairness, we must ADM
that it was not invested, as - Penn " gays
because our natural impulses led US thai
way, but because The firm name was chang
ed 50 often that We never could skulk il
with a bill but what the old firm Of yes terday
had dissolved, assuming all Indebtedness
and in their stead bran new firm were il
successful operation. The old firm wa:
irresponsible because Of their special admi
ration for manufacturing, they lent al
,eir effects (the debts cxceptedl to the
new firm to keep their pet hobby, manafac
turing, anoat; ard yet it never was operated
Outside Of the family in all these changes
which conveniently took place just before
the maturing of each and every firms obi
CATION.
4th. But flat be- should charge Us viii
adjusting Christianity to Beecher's stature
is child like; "yea verify" unblushing and
ungrateful; even "Pem," the "philo
sophie individual" will be able to eueom
pass it if the facts should become generally
known that the mantle Of charity had
/ been thrown in former times over his indIs-
criti3ns
9Th. We have our "1t!le harp > still in
tune. and respectfully allege that we have
drawn our answer mildly in the hope that
whenever " Penn feels in musical mood
| h, MAJ come and sec us again. Once
cherished never forgotten, dear " Penn"
