TIE newspaper war in Louisville
is q wicked one. The rules are
ignored and anything that will
hurt is allowable. The meanness
and blackguardism Of some rural
roosters is disgustingly bad, but
ignorance can be pleaded in their
extenuation. The great moral lu-
minaries OF the State metropolis
would resent the excuse Of igno-
rance made for them in their
scratching, biting, gouging, disem-
boweling, wildcat methods of fight
ing each other. Perhaps they mean
to give an object lesson of the dire
effects of original sin and thus
teach their puny rustic contempt
raries how not to do il.
