A Pitiful w hine.


So II seems from the "Every Even-
ing's" leading editorial yesterday 'ha'
the bonds Of excessive friendship be-
tween US and that paper are severed
forever and forever, what! ever, well,
hardly ever. The poor fellow VINO
edits it tells Of the struggle he had
with his manly instincts to repress MS
violent nature that there might not %
a row in that lager beer saloon last
Saturday evening, and then he says
.ha. no decent newspaper would have
published such an affair; that we wouid
have drawn the mantle OF charity
around him simply because he was an
editor Of a newspaper and being one OF
the craft, a fellow feeling ought to lin
ger in our bosoms. We must confess
tha.ve have that fellow feeling to
considerable extent, but we hadn't
quite enough to reach the editor
of the "Every Evening" And then
it must no. be forgotten that he
over and over declared that we were no
editors, that we published no newspa
per, that we were ignorant, that we
/ were liars, that We were indecent that
;. we were not worthy Of respectable no
: tiee by respectable community. he
is the last man that should look for
clemency or mercy from this source.
We do not belong to that class OF pa
pers. We were read out and denounced
long ago by the very editor who would
, now have us overlook his saloon brolls,
and whitew ash his character. We can
{ not for the life of us see where the
a point came in. We have no word of
excuse for the man who came into the
quiet saloon that night and disturbed
# the equilibrium CT this high toned edi-
a tor. we 40 uot tllll!h he haS any eA'"''
to offer for himself Everyone deprecates
a such acts of violence. Although We
, have been ruthlessly cast aside as no
n more worthy of the notice OF such a
4 virtuous paper as the Every Evening
we hope the editor will allow us to say
a word in defence Of one whom he has
uriustly accused. When he says that
n one of the papers "emplcyed drunk
Ia en- negro criminal, in some way connec
=. ted with it, to bawl the sensational
,t headings it had put over the item
v through the Streets" we suppose he
4 means Ned Leary. 1t is no use for US
~ to say that Ned Ltary was not employ
IS cd by us, for the " Every Evening"
" will not believe us anyhow, but as
H. nearly every body else will credit
rs our assertion, We would say that
IS Ned came and bought 'hia papers. aid
C. for them and took them away from oul
th Office like our other new smen and news
o boys did, and we asked him no quss
he tions. That Ned is criminal is un
.a. true. He has been drunk sometimes
nd and even been put in limbo for il, bu
.ir he has never yet been brought btfor
IA the court OF a criminal charge, or eve
SO far as We know been charged wit
ch any criminal act. In getting drunk h
N but follows the example Of those VIII
on find the most fault with him, but O
le. account Of lis dark skin he gets Sci
py over sometimes while his accusel

g. peccadi!loe are overlooked. This at
q tempt of the editor of the ever

ey a level with himself will prove as fuli
O as his Vigmy efforts to stop the crcul
