THE wAsHoE CANARY.

We are sorry to observe that the Viz
ginis Enterprise has been betrayed into
losing its temper, and still sorrior that
an innocent little article that appeared
in the RECORD recently should be the
cause OF an unchristian frame OF mind in
our Washoe contemporary. The sorrow
is the more poignant when We reflect
that the Enterprise is a journal of i'm.
mense possibilities. 1t is now very
good newspaper, is, We believe, prosper
Gus, and gives great amount Of news
md a series Of editorials which are really
fine compositions. The political COM
plexion OF tho paper is the only fault
that anyone can justly find with it, and
il those principles were changed it would
be great paper. In the issue above re-
ferred to we compared two statements or
comments Of the Enterprise on Califor-
mia political platforms. illustrating the
inconsistency Of that journal. Both
these items were copied from its editions
OF the LIST and I'd Of July respectively.
The Enterprise of the 18Th inst. reprints
the REcoRD's editorial comment, and in
reply starts out With this startling apos-
trophe: "What wise ass you are,
to be sure. to steal that item from
another ass about as wise as yourself. ;"
The items were indirectly copied-not
"stolen"-from the columns Of the En-
terprse. II the editor thereof desires to
designate himself as an ass we certainly
have no objections, he knows his own
traits best; but we certainly have decided
objections TO being called an ass our
selves-even though il be a wise" ass,
and according to the Enterprise man, Of
tho same degree of wisdom as himself in
his asinine role. The Enterpris,
then goes on to ask us lot of questions
and anticipates our action and saves
deal OF discussion by answering then
itself We never were good ct guessing
conundrums and don't propose to com
mence now. We believe his argu men
boiled down, is that the Democrats
party being deprived of their slaves ant
being struck after cheap labor, are hirinl
oil the Chinese they can. The idea
0 new to us, We must confess, but newnes
d doesn't imply correctness. We regre
d that space compels our declining to ente
: into discussion of this chronological
I topic, for we are quite sure that suel
I action on our part would induce the En-
: terprise to evolve some abstruse and al
0 vet unknown theorems in this matter. w,
. enter into no defense of any politica
platform, believing that platforms are
delusion and snare, but the Enterpris
may rest assured that whenever it, Q
any other journal Of any political creed
: is guilty of gross Inconsistency, we wi
certainly notice and expose it should
come under our observation, even at tn
dread risk Of being called wise ass
and Chased with itself in one Of its mo-
resonant brays. In conclusion, we desil
to say that mono moro than the Recon
9 rejoices at the success of the Enterpri'
u and the ability with which 1t is edite
D being an exponent of that portion OF N
D vada and thus helping along the cor
10 mon interests of the Silver State, b
=. when next the Washoe canary trills /
O. note and calls attention to fact pate
40 to all, we must beg he will not class
H. in the same department OF the amin
OF kingdom as himself. 1t is questio
y able distinction that We do not covet.
