One of the most amusing incidents in journ-
alism is found in the case of an editor in New
Jersey. He is a delicate and humorous writer,
with ''nose for news" He publishes daily
paper, which is brightly Republican in poll

weekly. In the daily he elegantly denolishes
himself in the weekly paper; but in the weekly
hi. gets even with himself by turning about
and utterly annihilating himself as the editor
of the daily journal. In some respects the
daily has the most genius; but it must be con-
fessed that the weekly has the most talent.
