Reform Themselves
It is amusing to see the San Francisco press
abuse the Examiner. For the Examiner we have no respect, it is a vile sheet,
and it is a sad commentary on the people of that city that they support it.
But are other dailies which so wildly denounce it, without stain? Are they without
fault that they may throw the first stone of condemnation? They are not near
as bad, but all have sins to answer for, and have no place in a tribunal where
clean hands are demanded.
Let them cease their denouncing, wash the yellow
stains from their garments, and try and be as virtuous, as honest, as free from
anarchy, as they would have the Examiner. Let them blaze the path of honest
journalism, and prove that their [sic] is money in it, and the Examiner will
follow shouting for virtue and gathering in the nickels.
