OUR TESTIMONY in the ate whisky in
vestigation may not have made out prima
facie case against the Ring, but it tended
to develop the great fact that with the single
exception of ourself every editor in the
United States is willing-and most of them
anxious-to make oath to everything he
prints We take it for granted that this is
so, because they all blackguarded US, like
so many fishwomen, for saying that we
sometimes printed things which we
wouldn't swear to.
Therefore we offer suggestion Within
the past year every one of these editors
has published in his Daily Agidaci, as of
his own knowledge apparently, that certain
gentlemen were thieves, robbers, plunder-
ers, conspirators, and so on.
1t now happens that, mainly on the
strength of this newspaper rack, those gem
tlemen have been put upon their trial,
which is now current. But the prosecu-
cution seems to have subpenaed the wrong
witnesses. None of the witnesses appear
to know anything about the conspiracy"
that the editors Of the various Daily AG'
daoits all over the country have so com
pletely established-in print. We there
fore suggest that the editors themselves be
subpenaed. Of course they are ready to
swear to what they have printed; no doubt
about that. But what We want to hear is
the cross examination. That would be
where the fun comes in. Let's have the
editors subpenaed. The prosecution needs
them. Besides, if they are not subpenaed,
and the cases should break down, every
son of gun of them will tear his hair and
swear that it was because the prosecution
didn't get the right kind Of testifers
