"The New-Yorl Times having coined pre-
pcsterous lie about The TRIBUNE and the author
| ship Of the recent assault upon the Presidents
private life, and having been kicked back into
its sewer by our explicit denial of every statement,
implication and suggestion which that lie involved,
| has recovered breath enough to say that are
| angry. Moreover it is an interesting fact that
| The Commercial Advertiser" whose impudent
repetition of falschood previously exposed by us
| at its request was properly rebuked IN these
columns lacks the dccency to retract
and squeaks in unison with The
Times that we are angry. This curl
Gus partnership serves to show that Mr.. Parke
Goodwin is dirty morally as The Times once
said he was physically and will go far to explain
to the decent readers of both journals why The
Commercial Advertiser was probably right when
it said that Mr. George Jones made his living by
vending obscene literature. 1t is remarkable that
so experienced a liar as Jones shouldn't have
discovered before this that it isn't safe for black
guards in his special line to 40 into details. He
might so easily have omitted TO say that Mr..
Berry was employed by THE TRIBUNE as late rs
Nav 80 and reported for us on that date the
annual convention of the Civil Service Reform
League lie did not report one word of that
convention for us, represent us there in the
remotcst degree, and he has had no connection
with or done any sort or description of work
for THE TRIBUNE, direct or indirect, or at It's
suggestion within its knowledge, since
May /. He is unknown by sight to the Editor
OF The TRIBUNE, who, moreover, has been abso-
lutely unconscious of his existence for months
past and could not even have told whether he
was alive or dead. Jones has hanged himself
many times before this, and has generally pre-
ferred to steal the rope TO do it with. But he is
getting dreadfully careless. One of these days
he will seek in vain to hire somebody to cut him
down.
Four years ago it was Cleveland and Reform
but now il is Cleveland and Thurman In both
cases the tail was admitted by Democrats to be
the stronger end Of the ticket
II the great City Of Glasgow Bank failure
few years back, with liabilities Of thirty million
dollars, marked an epoch in British finance the
manner in which its ruinous effects have largely
been overcome is no less noteworthy example
of that standing by each other for which the
Scotch people ancicntly famous. Under the
stern law of unlimited liability, the stockholders
of the bank had TO make good to the creditors
every farthing of their accounts. This they did.
But the process brought utter ruin to all except
Il
of So, 600 on each SLIGO of stock Thereupon, the
Scottish people set to work. quietly and with no
appeal to outsiders to care for the unfortunate
stockholders fund of 81, 935, 900 was raised,
and so well has it been administered that not
"A stakeholder nor any one dependent on him has
suffered want or privaton, while many have been
aided by loans TO regain "a prosperous business
standing. Up to date, SO per cent of such loans
have been repaid by the benefciaries. There now
remains of the fund some $500, 000 the bulk Of
which will be devoted to purchasing annuiies
for widows and other helpless dependents The
entire transaction forms notable record at once
Of generosity and thrift, creditabe in the highest
degree to the people who have thus turned disaster
into honor.
One OF the things set down at ST. Louis TO the
credit OF the present Administration was that
under it reforms had been pushed to their eX-
trcmc limit The speaker who made this remark
did not specify any reforms Of which this claim
could truthfully be made, although q bill of par
ticulars would clearly have been Of much value. |
Take the great reform Of all, that OF the Civil Ser
vice has that been pushed to the extreme limit ?
II we believe the statements Of its friends the
only limit that 1t has been pushed to is the limit
of extinction.
To whom it may concern: The Democratic |
National Committee hereby gives notice that any
organ of the Democracy which is caught printing
the ticket In this manner:
The Red Bandanna and Cleveland,
will be disciplined within an inch OF his life. |
A gentleman was going along the street. mnding /
his own business. Look at him." said Jones,
to group Of his dirty comrades, loud enough |
for the gentlemen TO hear: |" look at him. lie
is cowardly sneak who goes about insulting |
women" Ihercupon, the gentleman knocked !
Jones into the gutter, and quietly went on, still
mindng his own business. oh, oh, oh !" groaned
Jones, as he crawled out of the gutter and rubbed
his sores " What bad man he must be to get
mad at a little thing like that"
Moral This teaches Faginiones that he should
