Show MISPLACED CEX8URE. The Bt'GLER will establish and maintain no kickers' column. But when any person, rich or poor, high or low, good or bad makes public complaints to this ofhec or lays bare grievances which are nn- I deuiably plausible and just, or J which prove so on investigation, j we shall publish them without fear ! or scruple. - Tiut never was one of: these common com plaints made j through the columns of any paper, j but that the poor editor thereof! unjustly suffered the biggest half of the censure from those whom the publication might give an unpleasant un-pleasant but deserved little poke in the ribs. Casting to the four winds every vestige ot reason, justice jus-tice and lileral-heartednoss, each of Fended person brands the editor instautcr. Few pause for one instant in-stant to place themselves in the position of the oppressed complainants complain-ants and rcfieet how much more deserving de-serving the condemnation of the mediating editor, should he refuse the publication of the ill-used one's grievances. Much is left to the discretion of the editor, and often, ve candidly admit, he may make a miesQ through countless, indclin-! able causes, but nine eases out of j ten hie purpose is good; lie means 1 well, if the result does not please everybody; which all know is abso i lutely out cf the question. |
