CALLED DOWN AGAIN.

The editor of the Journal gets hot
under the collar and used language
very unbecoming in Sunday School
Superintendent, in last weeks issue,
because we made some truthful but
unpalatable statements in connec-
ton with the ring organs fight
against ex-Sheriff Shaw. The Iour-
nal and its ring heelers had been
abusing Shaw for publishing his arti
cles in THE ARGUS, and accusing
him of being a Democrat and THE
ARGUS his organ, etc. We simply
called attention to the outrageous
injustice of this attack, since the
policy of the Journal had been 10
publish anything on Shaw, and then
when he wanted to defend himself
refuse him space In its columns. so
that he was bound TO come 10 THE
ARGUS, and we gave him space to
reply IN simple justice, just as we do
any other person similarly treated,
without regard to age, sex, color,
religion or politics, according to the
Constitution, which we fly at our
masthead. We did not say when
this had been done, but as the pres
ent criticisms all referred to the
past, and no articles of Shaw's had
been published since the present
dummy of the Journal had been
placed in charge, everybody under
stood 1t in the past sense, and it was
entirely unnecessary for the present
editor to make any bigger ass out OF
himself than usual by trying to
swallow the dose himself and getting
choked on it and spluttering out
" liar in several different styles OF
inarticulate utterance. az word to
the wise" is said to be sufficient but
the unwise generally require good
many words, and sometimes a club
has to be used, and occasionally a
brick house falls on them, before
they can take the hint. 1t all de.
ponds on the amount of bull-headed
stupidity possessed by the victim.
