WHENEVER one newspaper man twits another
newspaper man about the typographical errors
IN his paper, it can be taken for granted that
the man who twts the other man don't know
much abont the business. We know out
siders think if they were editor or proof-reader,
no such things would happen. They are ex-
ctsed for thinking so, because they don't know
any better. When the editor of the Nevada
Transcript was an outsider he evidently thought
as most others do. that such things were the
result of carelessness; and about the first thing
he did when he got into the sanctum, was to
twit the Grass Valley Onion abor its typograph-
cal errors. The Union told him to look al
home, and we suppose he looked and became
satisfied, for he has never said word alb ut the
matter since.
