A HOPELESS CASE ' I "MIK Xcws in its last issue displays even a more liijrotetl I i -1 i t i m covered over with a thick layer of that green-eyed material than any that has heretofore dominated its nar row characteristic. The only sensihle tendency displayed in the whole matter was the author's shame to display Ids .stupidity on a page where any one could see it. The narrow-minded Jargon is so baneful ly Stupid that he quotes I'rom the Post and states unequivocally that the words are meatitnoeM. A paper that can lie about its market reports when the undisputed evidence of the falsity is at hand is qualified tor any emergency. The readers of the POBT are an intelligent class of people, and we prefer to let them judge whether the News is right in designating our words as meaningless. Here is our expression that star tlers the A i trx : " The Newe must think that the readers are a set of ignorant tools to accept such incongruous deductions from the premises given." The truth of the matter is that the word mean too much reality for the scanty cerebellum about the Aewa office to comprehend. Another matter which comes to un-nerve hi scauty htore is the tact that the Post is edited bv a college man, who has been granted, in course. the degree of Master of Arts, by a lawfully chartered institution of high standin . In this enlightened age the Post did not deem it necessary to explain the meaning of such a degree, more especially to a contemporary. The degree of Master of Arts is nothing to boast of ami no intelligent person reading the Post will ever lie able to impute to the PoSTany such mo tives. The diploma conferring the degree is signed by all the members of the faculty ofBuck- nell University, who submitted the writer to years. OPtN FACE.
