Show THE TWIN RELIC tur tili new york telegraph a new two cent dally daily Is at hand presenting a rather bright enterprising newsy appearance pe arance throughout the whole of its eight pages that city was pretty well represented in the matter of dailies daill es as well as other periodicals and the new venture will have to take its place atthe at the foot of the class and crawl upward through the force of competitive examination if at all and this it will find difficult laborious work involving not merecy the closest attention to every department and the employment of a small smail army of first class journalists but an I 1 immense amount of capital and no little arnu ence J judging ud in by au an article in the eighth number we should say its editorial staff already needs rev revision islon for a more shortsighted short sighted incomprehensive e and editorial 11 chestnut t than h angat that we have lod hod not lot lately seen even ven the title Is somewhat suggestive of antebellum ante bellum days but as a good article may follow a bad caption we have no desire to place special stress upon that preferring to deal deai with the article as a whole 0 it occupies half a columbis colum nis headed the the twin relic and the following Is the first paragraph is a fair index to the whole it Is not singular that polygamy should be a twin barbarism has been prolific of monstrosities it Is too much to hope that thesis this Is its only offspring remaining as the heritage of american civilization these relics have been likened to cancers anthe on the body politic ol itle T the he excision of one cost bodi the loss olitte s of much blood and some risk of the life of the patient this rocky mountain can cancer er which was but a pimple a few years ago is spreading through h valleys and over moun mountains taing taini poisoning tile the life blood of nearly every territory el of the united states I 1 the second sentence intended to sli fit support por t and the first is in reality alip ty a very stupid non sequitur as the reader readar will observe by noting caret carefully aily ally it Is not singular that polygamy should be a twin because barbaris barbarism M has been prolific of monstrosities it this is not reasoning from cause to effect not cot establishing 3 a premise and having another condition appear as a conclusion it is not reasoning at all twins are not monstrosities but exactly the reverse they are products of nature in its health healthiest dest rest and most fruit i fai fui f at estate therefore superior creations creation s while a monster is an aberration 0 or r partial diversion of nature one depre benting sen ting production of all the parts the other destruction of one or more of them twins may be monsters have been beer in fact but so rarely that such instances cannot fairly be used in support of the position taken by our new york of course coarse it speaks figuratively but the figures should be bo harmon harmonious lous ious otherwise what was intended as the lance of intellect intellects may prove the boomerang of the bush man then again the telegraph thinks it 1 beyond hope that this twin should be the only part of barban barbar itys offspring remal remaining niu nin ab a the herita heritage c of am american e rican civilization this ig Is another awkward ligure figure of speech heritage ita ely ell being that which descends to us as a gift by succession to become our own and anti as polygamy was not in existence on this continent when it was i first peopled by the whites nor for over 30 0 years later long iong at atter after ter the prese arese present at civilization was wag created and became diffused in fact face how can tan the former as a subsequent creation have descended to the latter as a heritage or otherwise so far the article articie referred to is a blunder and later hiter on it I 1 is s more so because in the first instance its departure Is m more ore rhetorical than substantial but in all succeeding sentences with perhaps one or two exceptions is erroneous in essential and collateral presentments these relics have been likened ito iti to carer cancers caner C 8 0 on n the body politic thesis this is better from a literary standpoint only because the cancer appears appear if at all at al ter the body is formed but by usim the alleged simile as a part olits of it argument the telegraph becomes responsibly for it and can be replied to as thou though 11 11 itself had hid originated ori orl the statement A cancer is an excrescence which devours the flesh ln which it grows and eats eata into the vitals it is as loathsome in appearance and form as it is destructive in it ug growth and progress pro gress its purpose is not the f furtherance ur therance ot of good
