This specimen OF humanity, from the
standpoint OF what he writes, from the
lack Of truth in mis- statement from the
time he chose to spit forth his venom.
from the occasion that provoked ms
spleen. from the manner of his vicious
ness toward one. whose very existence
causes his reptile eyes to quicken
their batting and to contract their Lenses
IN a At of uncomfortable, imPassioned
envy and personal hate, reveals what
character of snake he is, by taking ed,

NOT satisfied the masters themselves and
whose capabilities this unknown and
(oward1v member OF that clique is sol
dissatisfied with. that he employs that
manner of attack on him that the wife:

weeks ago. when he led a search to find
the guilty party. Whoever this latest
assailant OF the editor of the News iss
il not a matter of concern to us, since
he chooses to conceal mis- identity behind
the veil of cowardiee and the pretense
of defending man, when in fact, like
the assassin with dagger concealed he
pretends to extend hand Of defense
with the mere pretext that injury has
been sustained by mis- friend, and turns
suddenly upon him and plunges the
deadly weapon into his yitals.
Living still in the grass, this viper
disturbed over the prospect of being
routed from its retreat, and covetous of
one to whose defense it makes the pre-
tense to run, slyly crawls forth and
leaps upon him and plunges its poisonous
fangs into him, with the eagerness That
pent up jealousy of long duration brings,

complete perfection of the work that
mooted parsonage has accomplished in
human form and allows to run loose
among mortals.
This william, whoever he be, and he has
not the bravery to disclose his identity
assumes to be the rightful critic Of
Others and takes the unauthorized privi-
lege to pierce the character of one whom
he pretends to defend, yet by what right
mortal or Immortal, mutable or immut
able, has this montsrosity Of the human
race to set himself up as the defender
of any one or the judge of others2 As
sumptuous to take unto himself rights
and privileges not delegated TO him.!
Presumptuous to suppose an intelligent
public win sufrer itself TO, be inflicted
by the volume of abuse, invective
