The divine injunction is, if a man
smite your right cheek, give him also a
chance at the left. Far from obeying
the teaching it appears that a large por
tion of humanity are diligently to ef
fectively return the one planted on the
right Idlia (Col.) Sentinel. Well,
that may be the injunction there, but here
if a fellow smites you on the right cheek
you smite him over the head if you can
find him.

Al l' II - .1 1. .
ine ioiiowiug was uic result, ta
tin ir report of the council meeting 'ast
night:
"The members of the ci.unc il then
gazed on a specimen of the ' bhu U
smithV skill :m d f rom the ollice of
the- ' Orgaiietle" on Vine street, which
was iu the form of a card, supposed to
contain the names of the city c ciitieil.
It should be framed alongside the pic
ture of the "log cabin 'way back in Ken
tucky." A ftwof its errors are ns follows;
"Shipinan" reads "Salisbury," "('. O'Con
nor" reads "C. C. Connor" and "C.
O'Conoor." They were determined to
have the name right. Dr. John Black's
name is placed on the "Board of Health''
where it don't belong, and .1 W. John
son, F. Gordcr and W. II. Newell of tim
Board of Public Works, are not men
tioned at all. In addition then are
twelve punctuation mm ks omitted. Tin;
council decided not to pay for such a
botched specimen of printing."
The cards were printed as they were
ordered with the c xce ption cd two nanu s
in which a couple of typographical er
rors had been over-looked. The; punc
tuation marks tho "reel rag organ" has
reference to were omitted intentionally.
We do not really believe the man with
the big he;' .1 in the rat cellar could im
prove on it any by giving information
as to where such iinctuation marks
should be placed. The very "rag" that
criticised our work comes out full of er
rors and instead of presenting such n
thing before the; public as a w "tospnpi r,
they should print across the face of it
with the largest wood-le tter they hayu
in their shop, "proof sheet" anel commit
it to the waste basket if they have onej
of their own. The name "C. C. Connor"
as they have it is not printed that way,
ami if the "blear-eyed tub" which was
tolled up to the council chamber on
wheels, would wipe the cob-webs out of
his eyes, he could probably sec a little
furthe r than the prominent feature on the
front part of the pumpkin w hich is plac
ed on his shoulders as an excuse; for a
head. The pond, just where "Stink
Creek" empties into the sewer is fast fill
ing up with cat fish and suckers, and it
is rumored w hen the city and Board of
Trade make their r.ext improvements,
they will wash the filth from that corner
to the sewer below where it belongs.
The only possible chance we can sec for
them to cseope would be to call theShat
Inck fund to I he- rescue v. hie-h they had
buried in the epiick-sanel for along time,
but we hope such w ill not be the case fe;r
it can le used in a more- be netie ial w ay.
For a sample of the Jon runl's woik we
would like to distribute the city oieli
nances, but as they cannot secure; them
on account of C. O. D. marks for bind
ing, we will le oUigeel to rest contented
aud let the people see for themselves if
that opportunity is alTorde-d them. They
seem to forget that Tin-: IIki.aj.o has al
ways lent them a bclping hand when
they would run short of paper, simply
because we wish to kce-p the "rag" Hy
ing, because suc h opposition could do us
less harm than anything which couid
take its place.
