A HOWL FROM TALBOT.
"Tis the Wounded Bird that FIutters.'

In the New Time last weeks
effusion of "Billingsgate, by actua
count, we were called liars ten times
blacksmith, once; and skunk, once
His bitter hatred of rival has beer
apparent ever since the advent of th
New Time. He has probably mixed
it with a skunk and come off second
best, but we are unadvised as to why
he has 1T In for blacksmith. We have
neither the time nor inclination to
devote columns OF the paper to an
swering the contemplate false state
ments of so absolutely an unreliable
editor as Truthful T,ruxton. An ed
itor who Is devoid of the first prinr
ciplse of truth or journalistic honor;
can call a statement lie or attack
Its truthfuhness i'm a contemplate
sqlpib, that II you were to pay any
attention to, would take probably a.
half column or more to explain, and
then, as lis the case with Truthful
Ilruxton" he will tell another lie to
cover up the one previously told.
But at the risk Of being charged with
explaining what everyone already
knows, we are going to give just one
instance: In the Republican of June
10, appeared the following:
In commenting upon the new e.
lectric light franchise, the New Time
I'm its last issue June % states:
AN emergency existing (in the
mind OF clerk Norell, whose paper
is liable to lose the village printing
after the next meeting,) the new or
dinance was passed under suspension
of rules
We quote from letter received
by o. e. Norell from Jess B. Hawley
under date of June 3, as follows:
Il notice i'm the Mountain Home
paper this morning that you came In
for little roast In connection with
the granting of the franchise AS Il
remember 1t, you were more conserv-
alive about this franchise being gran
ed than amy one else. and a great |
many of the features which are extral
favorable to the town can be directly
traced to your own suggestions
Which shows clearly that were wei
Nm error in surprising that the con-
fling at Norell referred to
the electric light franchise, SO also
was the attorney for the electric light
company or he would not have writ
ten as above to Mr.. Norell. Every
one except possibly a few devotees
Of Truthful Trux knows that the
clerk of a board has absolutely moth.
ing to do with declaring that an e.
existed and passing an or
finance under suspension of rules.
but 1t makes no difference to T. Il.
what ordinance was under considera-
ion, true to his practice, publishes theI
ollowing: Ii
Another Republican Lie"
"The editors Of the Republican pro-
ess to be moralists and great church
men. Noren, the little chenub is 1
of Sunday school
md both Norell and Jacobson are
prohibition little, moral prohibition
sts). In spite OF their moral pre- !,
entdons and all the other lies told | i
" them In last weeks issue, and to s
Which we have called attention here
another OF their brazen affronteu-
as:
In commenting upon the new cleo a
ric light franchise, the New Time
it's last issue states: An emergen-I
existing fin the mind of 0. e. No .
ah, whose paper is Liable to lose v
ne village printing after next meet
lg), the new ordinance was passed !.
nder suspension of the rules. " q
Both the lying saints" know that /,
le reference was made, not to the #
ew electric light franchise" but to y
le ordinance relative to stock rum
ing at large and being hobbled lii a
le public streets.
