AN OLD FABLE.

We are told in an old fable that once
there was a boy who took a delight in
frightening his neighbors by running
and crhing wolf, wolf, wolf, at the top
of his voice, thus frightening every
body, perhaps just for fun, as when the
neighbors would rally and scour the
woods they would find no trace of a
Aot~ At last one day, this same boy
was attacked by a wolf sure enough and
when he cried wolf, wolf, wolf, no one
was excited by the cry, as they had
heard it so often before, and no one
went to the rescue. But alas, it was a
wolf this time, and the poor boys
bones, found in the woods afterwards,
proved that he had lied so often that
he was not believed when he told the
truth.
Moral:-The newspapers have told
fasehoOds so long that the people don't
know whether the wolf is here or not.

Mr. EDITOR:-Perhaps 1 500 or z, 1000
people were here to-day to hear the
joint discussion between Mai Robbins
and President Butler. There was a
good deal of feeling on both sides, but
everything passed off without any seri-
GUS disturbance.
Maj Robbins being the one to chal
lenge Butler, he was the first to speak.
His speech, for two hours, was mainly
an apology and a begging of the ques-
ton. He made some god p ints, but
they were entirely disconnected. AS a
defense of the Democratic party it
pass muster, but he's didn't make
a single point against the Alliance.
