Douglas Monkey refers to the RECORD
man as a "muchee learnec nance" After
having this "pigeon English" translated,
we find that he tried to say much learned
man." Thanks Sorry we can't return

Douglas evidently has slight regard for
the intelligence Of his soldier and Indian
subscribers when he allows his Monkey
to launch forth such mess of senseless
drivel and pointless verbosity as appeared
in the "organ" last week.

Douglass Division Monkey, who prints
what he terms "a newspaper shack

for his Monkey. If the latter has been
chosen to run the organ permanently,
his education in either Chinese or Wi
mona English" should be improved.
