AN UNWARRANTED ATTACK.

AN ON WARRANTED 1TTA Ch.
The Sun Yesterday violated all rules of
courtesy by a singularly brutal attack
upon Mr.. We Chaplin, a Republican
member Of the constitutional convention
from Albany county. In the eyes OF the
Sun Mr.. Chaplin has two faults which
place him beyond forgiveness. In the first
place he cannot be controlled by the gang,
and in the second place he was a member
Of the printing committee.
For some reason which is not altogether
apparent on the surface the Sun under
took 10 do the printing for the constitu-
ton convention at a lower rate than it
could be pro6tably done. A certain quail
Ity of paper was specified. This was
furnished Tor only a few days,
VIXEN a change to a much inferior
quality was made without any notification
to the convention. A majority of the
printing committee considered this un-
Just to the two other firms which submit
ted bids with the Sun. Objection was
therefore made and the Sun people in
high dudgeon threw up their contract.
Throughout the whole matter Mr..
Chaplin did no more bar his plain duty
or than any other member Of the commit
tee did or should have done. But a
prctext must be found to Justify the Sun
in its remarkable course and 1t hit upon
the idea Of making Mr.. Chaplin the
scapegoat for its own shortcomings.
Where Mr.. Chaplin is known he needs
no one to apologize Tor him for he is
recognized as a straight forward and hon
orable gentleman The better he is
known here the fatter will fall the Suns
TRADE against him.

IT Is more in sorrow than in anger that
we call attention to the fact hat for over
a week the Sun has been nursing its par
ticular hobby of placing in the constitu-
ton a specific royalty on each ton of coal
mined in the territory. The LEADER
yesterday showed the %iallacy. of such a
course; pointing out that it was invidious
to tax one industry and let Others go scot
Tree and finally that the fixing of the tax
was a matter for the legislature and not the
constitutional convention. That this was
the view of it taken by a big majority of
tine convention was clearly shown by its &C
ton Yesterday.

The Genesis of .aYou kissed Me-"

The poem You Kissed Me-" which
John G.. Whittier says shows that
the young author had truly mastered
the secret of English verse" was
written in the early COS in Almond,
n. Y, by Miss b'rona Corey, who was
then under 90 years of age. Miss Co
rev previous to that time had contri.
buted a number of excellent articles,
some of which appeared in The New
York Express. One day a gentleman,
who had been a visitor at the home Of
Miss Corey's parents, took his depart
ure, and, o bidding her good-by, i'm
printed a kiss upon her lips. Some
time after his departure Miss Corey re-
ceived a letter from this gentleman,
and in it he enclosed a poem entitled,
II Kissed You" One day, while at
tending to some household duties, the
lady's mind ran upon the letter and
the answer she would write, when
suddenly the words you kissed me-
were unconsciously uttered. Without
leaving her work she jotted them
down. As she composed the succeed.
ing lines of the poem she transferred
them to paper and by the time her
task was finished the poem in the
rough vas completed. Subsequently
Miss Corey revised her lines and
evolved the exquisite verses. These
she sent as an answe TO the letter re-
ceived, and the gentleman in 1867
gave the poem TO a Woostock Oils
paper for publication, but refused to
disclose the name of the author, saying
only sit was written by a young lady
under 20" 1t was widely copied and
commented upon.-New York Star.

IT Is a very encouraging sign of the
