he above is from little bit of four

:, that it takes two fellows, Nash and
borne, to edit, at Louisville, in this
ite; a town which, like Lexington,

the lecture is over.
The Kentucky Baptist has the gall to
make success in town of that kind,
Yut its editors lack the brains, and about
the only other editorial in the issue of
Dec 20, from which take the above ed
itorial, explains that the paper has late
1y made an assignment and compromis-
ed with its creditors by paying them a
percentage of what It owed.
You know that honest men would feel
humiliated by this, and would try to
make all possible amends for this, as
they claim to be advocating a religion
that says "Owe no man anything" But
these fellows simply allude snarlingly to
the man who forced them into an assign
ment as "an unyielding creditor" and,
in allusion to their assignment and set
Ting with their creditors by paying
them a part, they say Such proceedings
are not rare in the best of business cir
cles."
d, aItlis unfortunately true that such pro-
ceedings are mot rare" but they are
commonly regarded by all honest men
as being as damned rascally as if they
were rare"
One of the stock jokes in all of the
funny papers is about the Jews who get
rich by making assignments, and set
tling with their creditors just as Nash
and Osborne have done.
These two fellows have caught on to
that Jewish idea, real or alleged, and are
going to run the financial department OF
their paper on this scheme of the Jews
who killed their God, though the relig-
ious part of it will be as orthodox Chris
tianity as ever.

have been publishing the Blade now
nearly three years, losing money all the
time, sometimes in Jail and sometimes
out, and, driven about from pillar to
post by religious hate, have had foul
publishers in Lexington, and then have
printed my paper at Cincinnati, and ther
in Danville and Falmouth in this State
and sometimes, because of the extremi
ty to which 1 have been driven, and un
der the claim of the publishers that they
were afraid Of indictment and fine fol
publishing my paper they have charged
me extortinate prices. But, in the
whole three years, there has never We,
come one Saturday night that every mar
woman and child, and the printer:
"devil" beside. had not been paid every
cent that the Blue Grass Blade oweG
them.
Learned my business principles from
two fellows. One of them was little
handy legged, bald headed, sore eyed
iack-leg Jew lawyer, that made failure
at law and went to preaching, because
preaching did not require so much
brains, named Paul, who said, "Owe nc
man anything" and an infdel lawyer
named John Randolf, who said, "Pay as
you CO." Put those two sentiments, OF
that one sentiment, into practice, and
you do ten times as much for the happi
ness of humanity as all the religion in
the world.
These fellows Nash and Osborne are
ignorant, and mean and vicious and
hateful and spiteful and "waspish," as
they call it, simply because they are ig-
norant Ignorance and meanness, and
intelligence and virtue, are simply two
pairs OF convertible terms; and, know
ing the intellectual calibre of those two
fellows, do not blame them for all the
viperish meanness that they infuse into
that short editorial any more than l
blame copperhead snake for biting us
when he gets chance; because these
two Baptist editors and the snake are
built that way. But am, all the same,
in favor of killing the snake, and OF
stamping out all such men, just as soon
as it possibly can be done.
OF the three the snake is much the
better citizen, because he keeps away
from the haunts of men, as well as he
can, and lives in places where men have
but little occasion to go; but these two
Baptist anthropoids, like the tigers in
India. leave the jungles where they, by
nature, belong, and 60 into the towns and
attack people.
To a professional newspaper man
there are always ear marks that show
the ignorance of an editor.
