This causes people to wonder why so called reformer do not some times npply the foft pedal to their own anatomy, or lift themselves over the fence witrt tholr own boot straps, rather than be making people tired with tholr foolishness, for when the screeds of some of the present day reformers nte read, pooplo cense to wouder why thoy nro nllliotPil with that tired feoliuir, and no longer won der tho foolkiller died of disgust.

The Tele- gram Is right iu one sense, foi every evil should be reformed, nud every abuse correoted, but before taking ohnrgo of Hi affairs f nil thn people tlm great State of Nebraska, tho ques tion might be asked, why not reform men before measures.

If all men nre honest there would be uo trouble in the world, is an nxlomatlo troth, old as history itself, nud why does not the Telegram apply that logic to itself? Why does it not, like ohnrlty, begin reform nt homo, iu Hlatte County, in its own city of Columbus. Why does It not return to the people of l'latto County and of the oltr of Columhas. the ill-gotten prollts It has soenred from Its printing graft.'
