which he termed an EDITORIAL In which he
stated that "rhe News was jealous OF the
fame he was gaining as an editor and
newspaper man, We beg leave to cor
rect this statement. II Barlow Is an edi-
tor we desire TO see stone mason. We
are aware that Barlow laid claims to being
bad prooi-reader--iu which department
he starts the word Indian with lower

and Dog Latin into private bull Of his
own--hut this editor dodge is new one
and exists only in the excited brain Of
