pit as well as the Press. There are pre-
cious people so large minded and lib
eral Of view that they ''discontinue" a
pulpit ministration that happens to say
some things with which they disagree
But the mule would just as soon riue a
Parson as an Editor, perhaps little
rather. Aud the rule that saves the
latter will serve to deliver the former.
An independent Press is hereby sa>
luted by an INDEPENDENT PULPIT.
From the Daily of Thursday.
SHIFTING. Yesterday Mr.. W. G..
Jameson demonstrated with the pub
Usher of the morning paper for dis
eliminating against him in the mat
ter of publishing freight arrivals.
Said publisher replied in a very in
dependent manner, and Mr.. jamie
son departed after telling him to take
out his advertisement. In the even
ing the morning paper man approach
ed Mr.. Jameson with a very meek
apology, and solicited continuance
of patronage. In this mornings
issue OF the paper referred to is pub
lished an apology which simply shifts
the blame ''to some oversight in the
officer who furnished lis the list. :"
Now this is greater injustice than
the former, as in the first instance
Mr.. Jameson only lost the sale of
an organ or two, and in the second
instance an officer in the p. M. S. s.
Co.'s service is charged with neglect
simply to cover the unjust discrimi-
nations of this dishonest publisher.
when it is we'll known that this steam
ship company do not allow or par
don carelessness in its officers. The
honorable thing for the publisher
would have been an honest acknowl-
edgment that the determinations
were made on account of little per-
sonal difference between himselfa and
Mr.. Jameson. A publisher should
not settle his personal quarrels by
publishing injurious statements
against his personal enemies.

room of the above mentioned firm

the same pattern.
