Red-Hot Journalism.

There is a good deal of "ginger” in Newfoundland journalism. The St. John’s Telegram recently referred to the editor of the St. John's Herald as "a palsied brat” and “a nervous paralytic,” whereupon the latter printed the following Indictment of his hated rival: That he Is soaked with rum. That he Is always drunk when a crisis arrives. That he washes himself only twice a year. That he is always placed In the ship’s hold when traveling. That the hotels decline to receive him as a guest. That his mere presence In a city is standing proof that the public health is not properly attended to.
