BEWARE OF FALSE Pleas!

We wish to impress upon the public
and especially upon American voters.
the need Of dsrcgarding campaign
falsehoods of The opposition. Ir is a
clear case that at the last moment the
filthy, false press of the opposition Will
cndcavor TO startlc the pnbIic by some
sensation. But all will be false and
unworthy of attention
We say this because of tho expert
cncc Of the campaign thus far, The
chief church organ and the organ of
the "Fcdcral bunch' have filled their
columns day after day with the most
atrocious falschoods. We have exposed
these from time to time, so thoroughly
that these papers have been shamcd be
fore the public. And yet they do not
cease their lying, and they rcitcrate
lies that have been plainly exposed.
They arc liable TO do the same mp til
elec ton, and TO invent new falschoods,
So, we say, beware Of tho campaign
falschoods Of the foe. Pay no atten-
tion to them, for they are easily re
futed.
One Of the favorite lodges Of the op.
position is TO say that their candidates,
especially for tue council, are 'lust as
good as" the American candidates. But
everybody who seeks, knows just what
he gets when he is hoodwinked into
buying thing that is 'just as good
ag'' what he wants. He is 'soakcd .
every time in such transaction.
The opposition are absolutely I'M
scrupulous in their falseboods, they are
fertile in their consccncelcss ingenuity.
With them it is but step from imag-
ming thing TO stating it as a fact. If
they feel that any given proposition
would help their argument they claim
it to be true, without any regard u the
truth.
With such unscrupulous opponents II
is essential not to take seriously wha.
they saw, for what they say Is pretty
sure to 6e false. Don t hc mcvel, there
fore, by opposition cIamor, no matter
what it may be, nor in what form it
cores.
The right lhing to do is to hold fast
to prosperity, 90 on tho even tenor OF
your way regardless Of roorbacks, and
vote the American ticket straight.

THE ADMIRAL AND REPORTERS.

It is pleasant TO see that tribute
by Grand Admiral Won Koesler to the
reporters of New York. That this
tribute is generally fully deserved we
arc absolutely suro. 1t is rarc indeed
that reporter will misrcpresent the
statements Of public man whom he
is interviewing.
Grand Admiral Won Koesler had
some apprehension with regard to
American newspaper reporters He
thought they were fcndish lot who
would interview man and then 90
away and report anything they hap
peued to think of, and attribute their
own thoughts or ideas to the inter,
viewed. Nothing Of this kind has
been experienced by him He finds,
on the contrary, that he has been al
ways faithfully reported, and that the
reporters have been courteous, dill
gent, aud true, Not only have they
reported him with correctness and
fidelity where they have reported him
at all, but on such occasions as he
has asked them to respect his conf
dence and not make public some things
