The WEISER SIGNAL.
THURDAY, MAY IA, 1891

AS will be seen in today's SIGNAL,
the business men Of the east end of
town have spoken their minds in the
Post office matter. With the first
issue of the SIGNAL we stated that
while the paper would do its utmost
in battling for our interests against
the outside world. land we think all
will bear MS out in that it has
Tone as much in its short life as
has any other county paper in nine
years). it would have nothing to do,
sditorially, with disgraceful local
cuarrels. Straight and true has the
SIGNAL followed its impartial course,
winning support and respect from
those who mt first were inclined to
oppose it. Some have "bucked"
because of this and because the paper
did not take up their quarrel against
their opponents, when il they had
stopped to consider, it would have
taken no keen eye to discover that
their support of the paper was steadily
declining while that Of their opponents
was rapidly and constantly increasing,
and they could have seen that they
were barking up the wrong tree in
desiring it to take their side in the
matter when they were not its
supporters. But, when they come
out on their own hook it is
different matter According to the
customs Of all papers our columns
are open for discussion of any public
matter and the fight lies between
those who are carrying it on, and
because the articles may be published
in the columns OF the SIGNAL, it does
not in any way bring the paper into
the fight. II those against whom
todays article is directed desire to
reply, the columns of the SIGNAL are
freely ut their disposal. We would
SIX, however, that this post Office
matter be not used as loophole to
carry political warefare into this
paper, as there is great tendency
10 do in today's communication.
