One Editors Dislike of Another.

The reason of the spirit of love
exemp)itied by the editor of the Ev-
eleth Mining News for the editor of
the Eveleth Star is succinctly set
forth in the following excerpt from
an editorial in the Mining News of
Tuesday,:
"Once for all the publisher of this
paper will say that his opposition
to P. E. Bowling proceeds from the
fact that that man is not 'on the
square, that he is shlfty and unre-
liable, always acting in his own per.
sonal interests and taking credit
for disin'erestedness, hogging it all
and posing as philanthropist
staggering around as, the mos,
honored citizen in northern Mime.
sofa while the people of his home
town almost without exception de
spise him."
And it is anticipated that Mr.
Bowling, after calm deliberation OF
the reasons of brotherly regard, will
acknowledge the estimate as correct
in detail by keeping very quiet.

appear again when the road was once
more deserted.
As he passed backward and forward
George Rostock was quite unaware that
mis- every movement was being carefully
watched by three men. For the pub
Usher, having been shadowed for some
time by Mackworth's orders, the latter
was aware of George Bostocks nightly
walk, and the Inspector, together with
Quinton Ouave and Martyn, now closely
observed him from the bedroom window,
from which the young medical man had,
on the night of the tragedy, seen the
figure that attracted his attention.
When at last George Bostock, after
spending an hour in the vicinity of the
house where lived the woman he loved,
took his departure, they who watched
him felt keen relief Quinton drew down
the blinds and lighted a couple of cam
dies. In silence the three men gazed at
each other two of them, according to
instructions, forbearing to exchange i'm
pressions in each others presence.
