We go to press at twelve o'clock to-
day in the full expectation that an
hour later, our late able assistant in the
HERALD office, Miss Sadie Burr. will
become Mrs. John Livingston. 1t
would probably be safe to write up the
wedding now, but it would perhaps be
more prudent to wait until Mr.. Eaton
has tied the knot.
The HERALD, in carrying on contro-
versies, proposes to do it in q legitimate
and respectable manner. What APP
pears in the columns of its opponents
it consid ers fair game for criticism, but
doesn't propose to dilate on disreput-
BILE acts alleged to have been done by
its editorial opponents-acts not con-
nected with the publication of the paper.
On tho same principle it does not pro-
pose to waste any time quarreling about
false or exaggerated and distorted ac-
counts of what its publisher has done
outside of the business of publishing
the paper.
