Last weeks Tuler independent has
a column of ugly English aimed at
the Star, that the editor is doubt
less ashamed of on reflection. Ii
he is not, his readers ought to be
the more ashamed of him.
We are sorry to fear that our
usually calm and considerate good
Brother Morris, stayed little too
much away from that blessed ba-
by last week; else its influence
had kept him from using such un.
couth diction about his brother OF
the Eagle. 1t is the first time we
ever knew the Gazette to weaken It
self with chad words toward a
neighbor. Keep close to the baby,
Brother Morris. 1t will calm your
soul and help you to weigh your
words.

The Difference.

The State Temperance Conyen-
ton has completed its work and
the members gone home to look
after non-committal candidates for
the Legislature, But we opine
that they wont find any, and thus
their work will come to naught.-
Wheeling Register.
And is that all? Last year the
Register was on hand with its staff"
and told the Convention in column
talks what it should do and how to
do it; and afterwards said it was
well done and that the amendment
would be submitted, and then when
the fight came on, turned round and
fought the measure with all the
Click batteries it could borrow and
muster. But this is not the year
for Temperance Convention to
interest the Register--next year,
perhaps. Meantime the Temper
ance people will try and worry
ALONG.

CoRRECTIoN.-We learn that
our information as to the death of
James Inman, Of the Sixth Ward
from scarlet fever, as reported last
week, was incorrect. The physi-
clans inform US that his death was
from cerebral meningitis; that he
was stricken in3ensible and fell as
if shot in the brain, and so re-
manned for SO hours when death
ensued
The report that he had scarlet
fever probably grew of the fact that
he was complaining of a slight
rash a few days before.
