PITY POOR US,

who never kneels when he prays,
and daily bemoans (for the good of
the universe) the fact that he was
not living when the world was cre-
ated, so that he could have been
consulted as to its shape and size,
is very hard on the editor of the
LEDGER, who is only plain, every
day newspaper man, simply trying
to do his duty the best he can.
The following, we think, is peculi-
arly cruel, unkind and calculated
to crush green and ignorant up
start like your humble servant off
the face of the earth:
"1he fact is, the editor of the LED
GER is incapable of either writing
an intelligent article on any public
question or comprehending such an
article after 1t is written"
Where is your charity, where is
your pity, where is your human
ity, that you hold US up to scorn
and ridicule before an intelligent
public2 We do the best we can.
That best is not very good it is
true, but it might appear better ex-
cept for the gorgeous glory radiating
from our resplendent and brilliant
contemporary, like the light burst
ing from glass diamond buried in a
mountain Of livery stable cleanings.
What can we do? What shall we
do? What may we do in or.

cis1n, SO strong. so bitter and so un.
answerable ? Our trinity-like con.
temporary must be right when il
claims there is but one Creator, one
bible, one flag, one country, one
father Of our country, one states
man in Missouri and one Editor or
earth. The mere fact that the
LEDGER has at least one third more
circulation than its critic counts fol
nothing, except to show that the
people of Audrain county and O
Missouri are fools. Its editor car
neither read, write nor comprehend
while He, Of its contemporary, is
the Great and Only. We are cast
down in spirit and broken-hearteG
to think the people in this portion
of the world are still cropping il
ignorance and cannot appreciate
light from darkness. IF He will
