Papers.
Since Brother McNay became the
sole owner and editor of the Dispatch.
he turned out to be a veritable Boss.
Several times before and after election,
our neighbor slammed away at the
HERALD because we did not follow his
method of conducting the campaign
Since that, he has ''pitched into u.s.
vigorously for advocating temperance,
and very promptly told Us that the lem
perance question had been settled, and
there was no use Of our further croak-
ing about temperance. there has
hardly been an issue Of the Dispatch
recently, that it did not scold us. and
in a bossing spirit s. haul us over the
Goals" about something. In his last
weeks paper he shows his head to be
sorer than ever over something. He
has found where the HERALD published
an account of drunken man who
knocked his wife down and then burn
ed his child to death, and in another
place he finds an editorial of ours in
which we state. we have declined 10 in
sert in the HERALD al advertisement
Of the Police Gazette because we do not
wish 20 pat that sort of literature in
the hands OF the youth. The Dispatch
fairly froths at this. it is so indignant.
1t calls us a hypocrite and says we are
a.
here the Dispatch says:
ia the start the HERALD claims they have re-
ceived propositions from the Gazette 70 advertise
the paper when, in fact, they received nothing OF
the kind, but got exactly what the Dispatch did
circular from the publisher, Richard *. EOZ. Civ
ing the CORES pOudeuce between himself and Al
gOrneY General Bradford iu regard 70 the selling
OF the paper in this state Instead Of suyiu- moth
ing or giving Mr. Fox the benefit of his argument
the HERALD comes ont and tells a deliberate false
hood and says they have received "a proposition
from Richard *. Fox 20 advertise his paper.
Not quite so fat neighbOr. You are
very -'previous" at calling people de-
CELEBRATE falsifiers." We tell YOU, sir,
that we did receive n definite proposi-
ton from Richard X. Fox to insert an
advertisement of his paper, about two
inch card, in which he offers 70 send
the Gazette Is weeks for S1.OO. A week
or two after that we got the circular
you refer to. The principal reason
why We object to papers like the Police
Gazette is because of the character Of
their illustrations which we consider
as Of the lewd sort. Then it is largely
devoted to encouraging prize fighting
which is not only contrary to the laws
/ Of every state in the Union, but is de-
moralizing and brutal. In the columns
Of such sheets may be found advertise
/ and of other things uncomfortable in a
decent paper. 1t is not the mention OF
! the committing of crimes that we OBJ
/ ject to, as the Dispatch seems to think,
but the manner in which so many
things are illustrated, and the general
moral tone of the papers under con-
sideratiOn. Brother McNay after Civ
ing the HERALD a terrible lecture on
what we heretofore said on this subject,
winds up his lengthy scolding as fol
lows;
il The Gazette were Chased as obscene literature
3 Womb De c1cluleQ mica STATES mails
/ but as long as il is permitted 20 20 through the
mails it is not classed such, and we will reserve
| our opposition until il Is unlawfully circulated.
Very we'll, neighbOr; you can do as
you please about that, but when We
want to have you appointed our guard
/ ian, or when we think we need you tC
help us edit the HERALD we will let you
know. Your scolding rs and growl-
ing at US, and frequently calling US q
falslfer. and hypocrite and other mic,
names, is, it is true, getting 10 be little
monotonous, but we are still good-na
tured and patient and we still insist on
making the HERALD talk for temper
ance and for simOn-pure progressive
/ Republicauism, and we still ''kick'
/ against having even the editor of tho
Dispatch appointed a boss over US.
We have one little bit of brotherly ad
wee to give our neighbor, and that i,
for him to study the Police Gazette,
/ less and the Constitution of the United
States more and then perhaps he
would know less about prize fighting,
and more about how many u. S. Sena-
/ tors each state is entitled to
