THE TRIBUNE ONCE MORE.

the scene in which Senator Jones pulled the
nose of X. X. Parkinson rather that submit to
blackmai The TriJ.tne of last MI hit makes
no attempt whatever to reply, 1t However
charges US with being the author of some an
onymous letters. The only anonymous let
ter that we know ANGLING about was sent to
the editor of this paper a few months ago and
contained certain scan lalous CHARGE against
E. J. Parl inson, the present ostensble pro
prietor of the Tiib'n,e. Believing that the
social escapados of E, j. Parkinson did not
come within the journalistic scope of a family
newspaper, carried the letter directly to
the person whom it most concerned and gave it
to him remarkng that some woman WAS evil
IDENTIFY trying to make him trouble. The copy
of the letter is still in our possession. Anony-
nous letter writing is an indctabIe offense,
and if the editor of the Tribune has any anony
nous letter from us in his possession he has
but to swear to complaint to that effect and
have us arrested and tried The simple fact
of the matter is that the miserable fraud who
has kept this community in ahject terror for
six years is new confronted by the pitiabe
record Of a disgraceful career. 1t will do him
no good to threaten MS and shont "liar' at the
top of his voice. The charge that Senator
John P. Jones pulled his nose in the open
street or that he has never ceased to crawl
through the dust to lick his boots is unreplied
to. He says that he is socially above US.
Socially he has never been guest at the
houses of gentlemen in this city. Even the
railroad people who use him as a tool never
allow him to cross the Threshold of their
doors For a convicted felon to talk about
social standing is simply the hight of absurd
ity. Felons have social standing in any
community. We came tn Carson to assume
charge of the APPEAL and endeavored for
months to mind our own business and let eur
neighbors alone. We sought no quarrel with
our contemporary and wanted none. For six
years the venomous old man who ran the
Tribune heaped his ungrammatical abuse upon
the APPEAL and was unable to attract any
attention from it. After we assumed charge of
the paper he labored under the impression
that he could pursue the same policy of sneak
ing attack without any rejoinder He was
allowed to do so with perfect impunity until
he chose to despoil the grave of man who
would not have soiIed his boots by kicking
him at any time during his life He has
begged us to enter into this controversy. he
has been itching and spelling for this fight
and We propose to make 1t our
Christian duty to give him all he
wants of it. We shall no longer permit him
to terrorze this community by breathing Ian
guage of abuse and menace for the purpose of
compelling men to patronize his paper through
fear of his unbrdled tongue. We have heard
him stard on the street corners and denounce.I
respectable women as harlots simply because
he had some personal difference with some of
their male relations. He has been the rattle
snake of Nevada journalism and we have simply
extracted his fangs. His rattlss we have alone
allowed to remain, and their feeble catter is |
all that will ever again be heard in this sec
ton. He has been considered dangerous
person before whom all bowed in abject fear;
We have shown hiM to be man of straw, a |
thing of shreds and tatters, like scare-crow
in corn field, leveled by the storms and rot
ting in the dust utterly reduced that the |
birds which once dared not come on the same |
quarter section of land where it stood, now
would not fear to make their aests thereon. |
Although driven completely to the wall he |
has not lost his habit of threatening and hints
that his son will rum the rest of this fight
Ii he thinks that any recollections OF the
youths bad pistol practice can effect US he
only adds another error to the long list of
mistakes which have characterized his check
cred existence. We can be found at the AP.
