Harmony.

A certain political editor who had been making public some very rash statements was called on by a man from the opposition. “Did you write that article?” he inquired angrily, holding up the paper with his thumb jammed into the paragraph. “Yes, sir,” replied the truthful editor. “Well, all I’ve got to say is that it’s a lie, and you are a liar.” “Do you really think so ?” said the editor, without any evidence of anxiety. “I not only think so but I say so.” “That’s funny.” “What’s funny?” “Why, four men have been in here before you, to see about the same article, and every one of them said the same thing. 1 hadn’t any idea that there was so much harmony in your party.” The editor went on writing, and the visitor hadn’t the heart to disturb him further.— Merchant Traveler:
