EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR.

The Teiie. of last week gives an
other exhibition OF disreputable meth
DDS i'll conducting newspaper and Of
the wanin. strength Of its editor.
In that issue the declaration is
made positively aud without equiyo-
cation that the editor of the HERALD
wrote the following editorial for the
Evening Wisconsin Of March II.
The editor OF the Lancaster Teller
takes an unnecessary trouble when he
apologies for the scarcity Of editor
ials this week. The populistic kind
Of editorials which he frequently
writes improves the quality of his pa
per when he leaves them OUT
The editor OF the HERALD does not
write editorials for the. Evening Wis
consin. He is moi the author of the
one just quoted, and knew nothing
whatever of it until ieappeared in the
issue of March II.
tits not unusual for the Teller to
misrepresent and distort facts. In
fact the paper is wholly unreliable in
its discussions Of men or measures
but it usually manages to convey
wrong impressions by insinuation and
innuendo instead OF bv direct statement
1t seems to have been the pride of
the editor Of that sheet to so word his
editorials that taken a. whole they
would be viciously misleading and yet
contain no sentence, which, taken by
itself and considered apart from the
context, could be attacked as false or
malicious. But the ..Considerates
old gentleman seems to be losing his
cunning in the skillful misrepresenta-
tion OF truth as mentioned and has
placed himself on the level Of the
common liar OF course the latter is
no more disroputable than the former
but is more disgusting in that il re-
quires no brains.
The Teller has published false
hood II was done deliberately and
without excuse except that of zeal
oHsy and anger. It has stamped it,
self as false aud dishonest. unworthy
OF place in respectable homes. unfit
to circulate among honorable people.
The following from the editorial
page Of the Evening Wisconsin Of
May LIST confirms this position:
The Lancaster Teller is in stew.
Il is ALWAYS in stew. Referring to
the GRANT COUNTY HER AID ironically
rs its dear neighbor," it says:
..The Teller's dear neighbor has (sic)
the following last week, and saws ii
was in the Evening Wisconsin Of
March II
The editor of the Lancaster Teller
takes an unnecessary trouble when he
apologies for the scarcity Of editori-
ais in his paper this week The popu-
listic kind OF editorials which he
writes improves the quail
ty Of his paper when he leaves them
cut
If this was in the Wisconsin wonder
how it got there. The Teller does
not go to the Wisconsin office. 1t is
not probable that any person in the |
office saw any populistic or
any other Teller editorials. The Teller |
for the this week in which March |
Il came was dated March 18th Ii the
editors in the Wisconsin |
Office made use of anything in the
Teller If the issue before March 18th |
they would have had it in the paper
Of March Sth So, you see. the detec- I
tion is cas- Mr.. Boom man wrote
the item hin elf, He thought to get
up somethiEg original for once Gun /
ming, isn't hep He sent ii and GOT it /
in And then it is such a choice /
in his eyes that he transfers it |
to the dear Oil HERALD.
The paragraph which excites the
Teller's incredibly was in the Wis
consin OF March II 1t was not writ
ten by anyone outside of the Wiscon-
sin office, or inspired by anyone
one outside of the Wisconsin office.
Now and then copies of the Teller |
i'm 100 this Office and |
they generally contain on their edi- |
torial page populstic eccentricities
provocative OF remark.
