vlckeburg Herald We have noticed, however,
that the moment river editor has occasion to
crlticse the conduct of steamboatman or his
steamboat, there is always some superservice-
able river scribbler ready to desert his colors to
take the side of the steamboatman, without stop
ping to consider the question OF rig ht or wrong.
We have been guilty in that respect ourself, but
We have grown older ane WISER At one time we
felt 1t sort OF duty to take up all the quarres of
a certain steamboat commander in this locality
and bowed fOr his boat almost much as he did
himself. Not word of thanks was received or
expected, but the moment a paragraph slipped in
strued into an otfense, he was heard from.
