It is the privilege and duty of a seWspaper to scrutinize with jealous | care every act of a publig offic no matter to what particular party ne may be ind: uted for his election, apd if he found derelict his duties, dishonest or incompetent in transacting the public business, to sound an alarm and to point cut such short-comings boldiy and fear- | leasly. This is the province of a well | regulated journal and the public fooks to it for this protection. But when an editor so far forgets his dignity as to heap calumnies upon the head of an official or officials by vile insinuations, intimations, inuen- | does, modified statements, etc., with- | out making a charge sufficiently definite to give such officials an op- portunity to enter a defense or clear themselves, he becomes a vilifier of private character and deserves the | bis duties. the . | bitter condemnation and contempt | and would mal of all fairminded, honorable people. This is just the position Col. Wade has placed himself in inthe unwar- rauted, unseemly and contemptible fight he is waging upon the members of the city council, the mayor and clerk. Day after day he dishes | out his vile insinuations in a **modi- fied form,” but has signally failed to make a charge sufficiently explicit on which an official investigation could be bawed. Only once has he ap- preached that point when he iutimat ed that the city clerk had not report- ed all the dog tax he had collected Mr. Graves immediately asked that & committee be appointed to investi gate that matter. This committee, composed of D. A. Colyer aud T. L Harper, two of the very best men in the county, made its report, account ing for every dollar of the dog tax mouey and completely exonerating | Mr. Graves. The only fault Mr. | Wade could find was the manner in which the clerk kept his books. The city council is composed of some of the very best business men in our} city, honorable and upright gentle men, against whose private aud pub- lic character the whisper of suspicion has never been heard. It now de- volves upon Mr. Wade to make his ‘charges. These gentlemen court an Official investigation, demand of Mr. Wade to make good his coutempti ble insinuations or stand convicted ‘before the public as a baek-biter and vilifier of private character. It is generally known in the city that Mr. Wade is an avowed enemy of some of these gentlemen and is ‘taking this method of attempting to “get even.” It is ademocratic board sand yet the opposition papers think so little of these unwarranted at- tacks that they remain silent. By its course the Democrat is not only hurting the party, but doing the city an irreparable injury by creating the impression abroad that her affairs are poorly managed and the city in| aturmoil. This is not true, as the city of Butler never had a more com- petent, painstaking and industrious | set of officials. Each month a state-| «mend of the city’s finances is present: | ed to the board and approved by} them, and the publishing of a finan- cial statement is a clause of law overlooked by the old council, but which will be strictly adhered to by the present one since it has been pointed out.
