An as usual belated edition of the Barnacle reached us Tuesday, and the only items of “news” contained therein fsere, also as usual, the cow-puncher’s tirade of abuse toward The Democrat man. This old man of the sea seems only to live that he may vent his damnable, spiteful hate at us. The only type that he 6ets for his vile sheet except the cash-in-advance legale at rake-off prices are directed solely at The Democrat man. And yet this old wart claims to be a Christian, and his name, we understand, is carried on the books of one of the churches of this city. There are some people who claim to be Christians who always remind us of that old saying about hell being full of the same sort. While this old man has reached hq age where he should begin to cultivate some of the virtues supposed to go with a professor of the faith, as he advances in years his hate seems to intensify and concentrate, and if he ever knew the first principles of Christianity he allows the narrow, spiteful devil of hate in his nature to have full sway. The commandment, “Judge not lest ye be judged,” if ever heard of by this benighted oid scare-crow has no place in his religious (?) views. In fact, his professed religion is like his professed democracy, and should be taken with a large grain of salt. Regarding The Democrat and the Rensselaer saloon-keepers, we never knew that they had refused to make their publications in this paper. When the blanket remonstrance was circulated last fall t tie editor of The Democrat signed the same, which was against auy and all applicants for license, and we knew not who the first applicant would be. When we signed said remonstrance we did not expect any more license notices from Rensselaer saloon applicants, although we were offered the publication of one if we would withdraw our name. This we declined to do, and the notice went to another paper. Had the cow-puncher of the Barnacle been made the same offer it is not difficult to guess what his decision would have been. Regarding the Dunnville applicant, our only reason for referring to him as likely to be defeated by remonstrance was because a Rensselaer attorney had informed us that he had been retained by the anti-saloon people of Kankakee tp., and that the present applicant would in all probability be defeated. Had we received any such information of any other applicant, regardless of where he Eublished his notice, we should ave made mention of it. Regarding Mr. Granger’s application for a license at DeMotte, which is being published in this papjr, we have heard of no move in the “anti” line in Keener township, and from what we understand of the inhabitants of that township—it being principally settled by Hollanders —we infer that it will be the last township in the county to successfully remonstrate against saloons. Instead of questioning the motives of others, the cow-puncher should brush the dust off bis bible and begin to prepare himself to meet that great Judge who passes on the Christian and un-
