Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1880-04-24

4 better turned or more readable article has
not appeared in that Journal for years. To
all outward appearance the old serpent is dead,
although no one familiar with the ways of the
Tribune would bet money on the suppositiou.
While he has not moved for twenty four hours
it is possible that ne is feigning, or perhaps is
in a csmatose state. Unless carefully watched
he is liable to be Topping about again III few
weeks as virulent and malignant ever. We
shall therefore keep these possibilities in mind
and ply the club at intervals until the mang led
body of the reptile, rotting i'll the sultry sun
of truth, begins Enthusiastically 70 infect the at
mosphere. We propose in future to protect
every decent man and woman against this
cial, political and business vampire. When
ever any respectable person in Carson is
threatened with filthy libel from the Tribune
sfice, or any business man fears ALI attempt at
blackmail from the same source, the fact has
but to be reported at this office and the mat
ter will be Strengthened out Immediately.
There is no need of a newspaper resorting to
questionable methods to obtain sufficient pat
ronage to keep it alive. A paper that cannot
live without blackmail and constant abuse of
people to compel them to subscribe had better
close up the business and no longer exist as
monumental disgrace to an honorable profess
sion. If an editor cannot live without spong
nag his way about the country and leaving an
unpleasant record behind him, he had better
step down and out, as that is evidence that
Nature never intended him to follow writing
for a livelihood. For the continuance of Dea-
con Parkinson in the editorial profession the
press of Nevada is partly responsible. There
is not an editor in the State who does not
know of his undisputed status as blk, yet
rather than incur his ennity, which they seem
to fear, they continue to pat him approvingly
on the back until they have led the foolish old
man to think that he is an absolute power in
the State. 1t is our intention to reform the
Deacon" or drive him from the profession
which he has so long contaminated. He
must run his paper honestly in this town from
this on or 90 out of business. When he was
there was but one paper in the State, the
Chronicle, which dared send reporter to Carson
to give the proceedings of the trial and after
the man was convicted, there were plenty of
papers whose editors, although thoroughly
despising Parkinson, fastened to crawl on their
knees and tender their coincidence for fear
that he would resort to some Of his well known
dirty tricks in retaliation. During the past
week the APPEAL prides itself on having made
Carson fit place for q gentleman to live in
who does not pay so much year for the slush |
and slobber which is doled out to him each |
evening in the Tribune. Our hand tires of
belaboring an insnimate object, and We pro
pose to discontinue this exposure, promising
to resume it at pleasure. We thank the
numerous people who during the last few days
have substantially recognized the right of this
controversy. People who consider the MORN
ING APPEAL worth the subscription price
can subscribe or not as they please. But |
the private citizen who does not choose to sub
scribe or the merchant who does not see fit
to advertise will be treated with the same
courtesy as regular patrons We do not claim
the right to BLACKBOARD man because he does
net consider it worth while to patronize US.
No honest person need fear US, and no man,
honest or dishonest, need ever after this fear
the Carson Tribune.
