Second Daniel Discovered In u small
California Town.
At last we have got the printer
where we want him. Since the es.
tablishment of printing the composition
has held the whip hand over the news
paper writer.
More brilliant efforts of genius
hava been ruined by the man who has
the putting of them in type to do than
have been lost by never being printed
at all. And there has been no law to
punish him. There has been more
trouble over how matter has been pat
in the paper than over what matter
has been put there. The compositor
is my natural enemy, and it is with
glee can not and do not care to hiie

in its highest form has developed it
self in small town of California.
We have some fair showing of it in San
Francisco, little less in New York
and trife in Oakland, but this out
of-the-way little town, unassuming and
modest, as all great people and COM
munities are, deserves to be placed
at the top of the list. 1t seems that
some time ago there was some trouble
in the Office of the only paper pub
lished there. The editor is proprietor,
advertising canvasser. reporter and
dramatic critic; the printer is foreman,
sub, devil. battery-boy and father OF
the chapel. He conducted himself a
small union, the printer did. and one
night he went and got full and inde-
pendent and refused to get the paper
out. The editor, etc, argued the mat
ter quietly at first, but failing to get
any satisfaction, he took a mallet and
knocked the printer, ETC., on the head
until the union gave in and pledged his
word to get out the paper if he'd let
him up. He got up and he got out the
paper, and then he went and hao the
editor, etesS arrested for assault. The
case was &ied. The decision should be

by operators on the New York Produce
Exchange in reference to the mixture
