MORE MISUNDERSTANDING.

How unreliable the human mind is! To misunderstood
the plainest words is all Grievous error
creeps in and much injustice frequently results
sequence
The c o be in all sincerity made effort the
esteemed Daily News right before doubling public and
1t seems have made the matter Not only are
the motives" of the News misunderstood but the
plain words of h e Gle are made to carry mean
ing foreign to the intent of the writer.
In the further effort the News right and vndi-
its intelligence T he G must revert to
the subject of the three-cent street railway
St Paul which the working people will get because
the Daily News the Daily Dispatch and the Daily Pho
neer Press refraned from urging upon the legislature
for reasons best known themselves but pretty we'll
understood of the public.
The Dispatch owes Mr. Lowry money and of course
does his abject bidding.
The Pioneer Press has assumed the complacency of
q saddle rock oyster.
The Daily News alone of the three gave compre-
hensve and satisfactory for supporting the

buy either the legislature of the News unable
TO decide which from the language of the News. And
the News would have know that rather than be tempt

That's the motive" of the News and that's what T h

IS concerned for not matter what the News will
not mperil its reputation by creating suspicion that
Lowry has been invited to send his pay wagon" No.
sir; not your life
The same mail brought another letter. this one from
Constant Reader" asking what was meant when we
said that If Lowry sent his pay wagon" to the front
door of the Fourth street office the driver would never
get away alive Now Constant Reader wants to know
If the driver would be crushed in the stampede
OF the entire office force for the of the pay
wagon" Certainly not; meant that the virtuous
wrath eternay slumbering in the breast of the News
would break in such volcano of violence that driver
team, pay wagon contents and all would be blown into
kingdom come nstanter./
"VOx Popu" a letter by the same mail asking
If the News kept its motives" in the safe The writer
explained that his query prompted by the inexpi-
cable antics of the newspaper in question in its attitude
toward certain public service corporations "Vox Popufi"

Reader whose request for information brought out the
fact that the News did urge the threecent fare bill
because its motives might be misunderstood and the
pay wagon" headed its way.
