FRIDAY, JAN e, 1899.

There are some editors whose narrow
mlndedness has been so cultivated that
they cannot recognize favor when
asked by even ii refusal but either ignore

smalness more scope. Such promul.

they represent are in this case worse
Than The Spaniards in diplomacy. We
refer particularly 10 the editors OF the
two papers published in ST. Louis
They both were requested to locally
mention in their issues of last week the
