GELM. Jan. I, 1883.
ED. STANDARD: | see 10y your paper
of the 9th inst, that | have stirred up
Il voritablc hornets nest. Your lair
correspondent OF Yelm seems to
think my remarks, in Il previous issue,
were intended exclusively for her ben
eft and takes up the gauntlet in a
way common to her sex. Now the
fact is, had no thought of her when
/ penned those lines. She should not
be so egOtistical. ] didn't even intend
them for publication, but as you saw
tit to publish them, ! hope you will al
low me the privilege Of indicating
myself and then l shall cease and have
done "harping" on the irrepressible
conflict" for the present.
She implies that / disregard the
scriptural injunction to "speak the
truth and lie not" in two particulars.
First, said, "the petition in circula-
ton Oh Yelm was signed by perhaps
twenty-five or thirty persons" That
was a fact, when l wrote. The other
names were signed afterward. So
there was no perversion of truth in
that. Second, 1 said, "they signed
because importuned," and this is a
fact. l could not have found more
expressive" word if l had previously
consulted her unabridge dictionary,
which she keeps constantly on her
table for reference when DESTROYS OF
displaying her knowledge of literature
by severe criticism. She winds up
her little TRADE with al have given
these facts in vindication of TRUTH
etc. This seems superfluous when we
consider that there was not state
mcnt made by me that could not be
corroborated.

opinion on any question, whether po-
litical, religious or moral, and l allow
others the same privilege, and think
none the less of any one for differing
with me-. l would not run the risk o.

venture the assertion, without fear o
successful contradiction, that her phys
