OUR CONTEMPORARY.
In ouv last issue we made a fair challenge to our contemporary. Instead of accepting that challenge, or admitting itself in the wrong, it resorts to vituperation, calumny and abuso which ! would disgrace the columns of they:.'!lowest; of yellow journals ever I'ublished in the baneful atmosphere of Tammany-ridden States of America. A |aper that can accuse another of "playing the part of the mountebank," the "contemptible role tJ f a, persecutor of women," or writing in "pot-honso stylo," ■and to? being a "very slippery customer," lias no regard whatever for the amenities of citizenship let .alone the ethics of clean ■journalism. It is too paltry for argument, too vitriolic for reason, too I despicable for notice by any self-re-specting journalist or citizen. Henceforth we tihall treat it with that contempt that its Billingsgate deserves.
