matter of financial loss we masume without t hesitation and without reluctance we are above the thought thou glit that six six or eight hundred dollars should exist as an obstacle between THE tar STANDARD and the esteem of its friends the mistake was in introducing to the publican public an unknown mancho man who came with good endorsements and with what seemed to be a reputable and worthy

from an earlier mistake of a similar kind our readers will unfortunately I 1 remember that a little f I 1 less than a year ago TUB STANDARD t introduced A B johnson to their good offices it vi was as an unhappy y moment I 1 for a too confiding community as we discovered soon afterward and as all will freely admit but he wa was accompanied by a well known gentleman who we were sure would not knowingly lallow any one tobaie to ba imposed upon it we were deceived so was be jie ile took early occasion to let it be known and we were prompt 1 1 to do the same the greatest remorse k ma roe we feel is that the fraud shameless thame leea and incorrigible ia is still practicing his deceit we trust however his perfidy and base nepa will oon soon become so apparent that the ft I 1 blight of his

1 11 chose fitting company lie either I 1 told or johnson invented a pack of r I 1 I 1 lies about THE STANDARDS part in the work and johnson job neon gloated over r them as only such a mind could he ile published them tuesday morning I 1 1 be he continued his canine glee thou though gh not again at the sacrifice of his hi plate matter his parsimony was as strong as his diabolism he took pains to mark with blue pencil bis his observations and having printed two or e three b hundred undred extra papers sent them gratis to persons who otherwise would never have seen his sheet and who under any circumstances never 16 read it then he leered and grinned and with his highest conception of honor and duty fulfilled cat eat down to t ak wait for developments if it had been 0 i the case of a private business man or firm he would not have felt it necessary IV to publish that they bad been cheated by a smooth and accorn I 1 virian villian it if they could repair the I 1 damage and were content to bear the loes loss it would have been none of his I 1 business but he lie thought he saw a 1 I 1 chance to stab an institution of which I 1 with consummate impudence he con 1 1 eiders

necessary to transcend the ordinary rules of journalism and I 1 speak of him as he Is and the plea of professional courtesy cannot be urged aa a bar to citing instances of his ine meanness anness 4 he lie got out a special edition of his paper on new years the best illustrations I 1 trat ions in which were loaned him by I 1 I 1 this office his production was but V a second rate imitation of TUB tux illustrated STANDARD of last bummer and all the favor it met was because I 1 I 1 in some degree it resembled that issue the public ander understood it well enough tor for though TUB THE STANDARDS edition wag was more than twice the number 1 1 of his it was sold out in a week while he is still begging for customers K to come and buy of his surplus TUB tua I 1 STANDARD loaned its cuts la ia the R belief that other bands were about at to take control of his piper and that I 1 r the ash tance would be an act of I 1 i I 1 friendship to them considering the bid bad odor of a concern for which

duty to put people on their gaard against him there bisno is BO charity in th throwing a bone to a dog who watches his chance to snarl at and bite you for it |
