Show Not Very Comical i THE HERALD has taken a consistent I position all along in relation to the copper I cop-per refinery notwithstanding attempt of a contemporary to misrepresent us We favored the establishment of the works and wanted the people who subscribed sub-scribed money to secure it to receive what they expected to obtain when they agreed to give the bonus We otood out for a bond on the part of the promoters of the scheme and contended that it should be specific and satisfactory or no cash should be paid But our morning contemporary thinks our position comical Why Because we published the statement of a correspondent corres-pondent in regard to the alleged cost of copper works in other places and that cost was only about onetenth the amount promised to be expended here What is I there comical about that I The Tribune says THE HERALD has I mortified its stockholders and friends No such thing It is the Tribune that is mortified and is becoming offensive to the public olfactories THE HERALD knows the sentiments of its stockholders and its friends better than any enemy can i tell them We recommend our contemporary to practice a little of its own preaching if it thinksit is the proper thing for any paper pa-per to do We are advised to call the correspondent cor-respondent who sent us a dispatch from Denver Ua liar if what he said turns oat I to be incorrect That might do for the Tribune but it is not THE HERALD style Neither are we in the habit of making any editor responsible for the statements i i of correspondent If we were we would L fl have something to say on that head about our contemporary about every day We have published what has been telegraphed tele-graphed to THE HERALD concerning copper cop-per plants at other places What THE HERALD has had to say on its own account ac-count has been published editorially If the two should differ in any way there is nothing comical about that or tho Tribune would be the funniest paper in the Rocky mountains j We arc afraid our contemporary is hard up for padding by the strain it il put to in order to find fault with THE HERALD We will be glad to know that everything is satisfactorily settled about the copper refinery and when the contract is signed on the conditions demanded will rejoice with the most jubilant But whenever there is a project on hand requiring re-quiring a gift from the people to start it we shall recommend caution full investigation investi-gation and proper guarantees and as in this instance endeavor to obtain information infor-mation from the most available sourca that the people may not be subjected to deception If there is anything comical about that let everybody laugh till they I are satisfied I |
