Show FLOUNDERING. The Tribune of yesterday inlliota on ita readers a column and a half of "sound and fury signifying nothing," in the effort to squirm Jroui under tho ohargo of falsehood fastened upon it by tho Hkralp. Wo have no intention of makiog an elaborate rerjy to an articlo which is mainly conspicuous for its lack of fairness and login, and its inueudoes and a;iwiatcmentj; but must notice ono or two points. Tho Heuald was not defending Z. C. M. I., as the Institution does not stand in need of dei'cDSo; neither havo tho Tribuuo articles injured its credit although the attempt at indicting injury was none tho less appaicnt and malevolent" Tho Tribuno dcuiea the chargo of attempted blac k mailing, Aro we to assume even a still meaner motive, then, as tho reason for the attacks, when considering the owucirship of the pap:t? The Tribuuo of Friday ni?rniri ?ai; The fictitious i-apitit of Z. V. M. 1.

The last article asks one or two questions; part silly, and others worse than that, for they convey falsehoods by implication, which any student of lithics ruuit admit to be the meauost kind of -mendacity. Those who have 'a lew rolls" of that "paper redeem able in stock" will havo do difficulty ia obtaining all the desired information informa-tion concerning it, if the Tribune koows of any such "who." So much for its latest attempt at detraction and villification; and so we close, for wo will not prostitute our columns with tho miserably petty newspaper equabblcs which form the staplo "news" of a number of our contemporaries. |
