The Csoal Characteristic,

As is usually the case. when the
Union becomes distressed after hav.
ing undertaken more than it can
swing. the anonymous CORE pom.
dent has come to an attempted relief.
One OF these nonentities breaks out
this morning with series of ques-
tions to THE ARGUS. When this
brave individual exhibits courage
enough to show his face. his PROPOSE
tions may possibly be considered.
tbs ARGUS is too busy to graft V the
whims OF any Of the nondescript
army OF Union correspondents. 1t
has no time to grope in the dark or
fire at random In the meantime the
Unions latest may be reminded that
the habit Of asking questions
does not always belong to a man of
brains.

Poor, little, unoffending Johnny
Rinck, who would have thought Of

The Argus is accused OF this diabol-
ic.l o6ense by the Uoion this morn
ing because il mentioned Johnnv's
brick-stay-up wager, which 10 still
puzziiug the brain Of the ambitious
chief Of the morning illuminator.
And in the same spiteful spirit The
ARGUS is indirectly charged with ex-
posing that little incident which in
volved Johnny and the editor Of the
Union because OF o choice on its
part in the exceedingly entertaining
controversy now 90. PrePos,erous
as is the proposition that Q demo-
cratic paper should manifest any To-
terest in q contest of this kind, ex-
cept to give the news and such com
ments rs il may be privileged to. yet
The ARGOS 10 but human, and there
fore has the weakness that makes all
men kin, . fello y feeling for those Of
its profession. 50 that . criticism Of
method should not be considered by
its pouting. over-excited contempor-
airy as an unfriendliness to motive.
Professional pride, too. impels the
suggestion that It cannot look with
the highest favor on the hoiss-by-

Union in this instance.
