HIS MEASURE AT LAST.

Fortunately occasionally some things
are synchronous, and day before yester-
DAY we had an opportunity of showing
to the public the kind of man the ed
itor OF the Times ia. Pretending to be
devoted to law and order. and to be a
moral man, this individual descends
upon poor little J. Mills Davies OF the
Express precisely in the manner in
which thug, plug Ugly" or dead
Rabbit" would resort, with the excep-
tion that those persons would generally
select somebody of their size. To show
the inveterate and incorrigible black
guardism OF the man, we take from the
Times of yesterday the following &C.
count, written by the editor OF that
sheet, OF Otis's attack on poor little
Davies. The screed is characterized by
all the redolencs of this champion of
'law aud order" We quote from yes
terday's Times:
There comes another "roar" from the
oscilating and yacillating Evening
eathervane, otherwise called the Ex-
press. This time it is all on account of
sn offensive busybody of the name OF j.
Mills Davies, connected with that impe-
cunious and wobbly sheet. This curious
freaks very presence is such as to exas-
perste the average business man, whom
be is in the habit OF bsdgering and bull
lying for patronage, so that, unless he
restraints himaelf by mighty effort, he
is liable to rise up in wrath, forget him
self momentarily. lose control OF his Gus.
tomary equipoise, and fall with violence
upon the prcposte-ous frame OF the
aforesaid busybody. This is wrong.
without doubt. and something to be
deprecated under state of martial law
such as we are living under in Cal
ifornia at this time. But we are all
human, and some things can't be
stood" The particular cause. OF the
last "roar" from that dubious direction
is this: 1t ia implanted against the
editor OF this journal that on yesterday,
July IL, 1894, ne smote with his open
palm, but with undue violence, the
the T. y. j., otherwise j. Mills
in his presence, OF apd concern
ing him, OF highly mplimentary,
not to say exaepersting, character; the
great bodily harm. but rather to give
expression to a mighty and unspeakable
contempt. All this against the peace
and dignity of the said j. III. D.,
the r. y. j. aforesaid. The same was
wrong without question; but think OF
the provocstion Think OF the uncon-
trollable fury caused a hundred times
among sober citizens at the mere sight
of this object! Huh!
This choice bouquet of blackgusi disn
is from the pen of the grand high muck
a.muck of the Times itself. and relates
to his own cowardly assault on Davies.
There ia not an attache OF the Times
who would own to the possession OF such
ploy his own elegant range OF language
we assure the blatant ''kernel" that the
community is ION to him." and that the
days when he can posturize as an exem-
plar OF claw and order" are numbered,
as are, also, those in which he can put
on airs Of being brave man. His pick
ing out the smallest and least militant
man on the California press, search it
'irom Siskiyou to San Diego, from the
mountains to the sea-" has located him.
The provocation he speaks OF as having
received from the little man is all non
eense. This great and lusty Boane.ges,
| Bombastes or Bustamentc-the reader ia
at liberty to select his fsvorite title-is
| in the habit of trying to bully people
that he thinks won't try to lick him,
and his vocabulary OF obscene abuse and
blood curdlng oaths would paralyzs the
church people with whom he would like
to associate on terms OF equal ssnctity.
The only parallel to the awful blasphem.
les that pour from his mouth on these
occasions, when he has his terrified en-
ployees-or small enemy-sa auditors is
afforded by the boatswain OF ship who
is awakened early in the morning to
supervise his sailors holystoning the
deck OF the vessel on which he is a pre-.
scriptiye tyrant. To Boanerges's "huh"
we say "tush."
