Editor Register: "Mr. Hanley bought
the cane.n This disgraceful and ig-
nominious sentence is the conclusion
Of an editorial squib in late issue
Of the Tri5une-M Monitor. 1t is quite
evident that the "fellersn that are
paid for writing some little paltroon
articles for that vile sheet are just as
much acquainted with the honorand
dignity Of the public press as are the
owners themselves, and have no re-
spect for Its customs and rules. The
fragrant insults they heap upon fem
mine modesty aud the cruel outrage,
they offer to the tender eelingsoftheir
lady correspondents last week, fully
and emphatically substantive what
we assert regarding their supine ig-
norance and deep disrespect for the
obvious rules Of common etiquette
and decorum. 1t appears that the
title sheet has begged and solicited two
young ladies to furnish them with
4
the items Of Mason City, and among
other things in their correspondence
last week, the "Two Girls" assert:
"The warm contest for the gold.head-
ed cane was conducted" &c. Write
again, 1.-TWO Girls" as the sheet was
not cable to learn much" of the Pic
mic held in the Grove on last Sstur-
day week, and consequently was not
on the grounds to witness the scenes
of the day, but yet it accumulates on
you ladies that, we take for granted,
took part in or were eye witnesses to
the performances of the day, the rich
est enconiums for the honesty, in
tegrity and tenacity of your cores
pondence. ''Mr Hanley bought the
cane" Poor Gibbons, what a truth
full dreamer you arel But please try
it again, and before you retire swal-
low another bushel Of Ipecac and we
trust it will aid you to belch out an
other lanel of that foul bile with
which you are SO turbulently impreg-
mated, 1t is not obviously know
that in the presence and hearing Of
all, that the time for ending the con
test was fixed and settled, and to the
satisfaction Of all. There and then,
the President, Mr.. B. Mclaughlin,
openly and audibly (the watch in his
fingers at 6 p. m. proclaimed that
another hour was allowed the con-
testants to rally their forces, thereby
giving all the same opportunity and
the same interval, and that again at
half past six he would proclaim the
votes, as he did, and finally, decided
ly and irreyocably closed at seven,
post mcridiem. Surely, Gibbons, we
give you just credit; such credit as
man of your intellect and your re-
spect for the refined and gentle feel
ings of your lady correspondents in
fite us. Take it, take it; you have
richly merited all; you lose respect
and complimentary language for the
honesty and rectitude which gov
erned and guided the young gentle
men who had charge of that Picnic,
and your alteration for truth in lady
correspondents is also meritious, and
therefore ought to be initiated, but
only by the favored and enlightened
few" that worship at the shrine of
such man as is Gibbons. O., as well
as the judgment andunderstandingof
that large assembly, indeed is worthy
Of the highest recommendation. X.
