An exchange says: “You seldom hear the public say anything in favor of their newspaper. But the local newspaper is always favoring the public. And how quick the local paper hears of it, if by accident, an error appears, but if the public or its officials make a blunder it must not go in the local newspaper, because the local newspaper'would lose its head. Nobody but local newspaper editors make blunders; the rest of the populaoe doeth all things well. A great many people who know how to edit a paper are somehow in positions on the top of dry goods boxes.”
