The stereotyped feditor of the Walla

frigh?cntdat what we said of him, that
we tried to keep him from knowing it
by not sending a paper to him that
weelr." His namR now appears in the
News for the first time, hence we could
not bt-afraid he would see something we
did not say. If he did not see a copy
of our paper it was because we "run
short" on account of new subscribers,
and as we had not received a copy of
the Statesman, would naturally cut it
off. But why have we not received a
copy of the Statesman 1 He must have
been afraid Major llinehart would see
what he was misstating about him.
The Daily Bee has also suspended
sending us a copy of their paper. Are
they afraid too? By the action of
these two papers it will show to the
other journals thjit the managing edi-
tors are simDlv colts. The fact of the
whole business is that there is some
thing back of all this, and simply be
cause we said that Maj. llinehart was
only doing his duty, these two back"
biters assault the News wiihout

Indian Ponies.
Two dashing young Piute bucks with
red 8ashesar..und iheir waist, and hats
adorned with feitheis, drove a band of
ponies through town last cveniig at a
break-neck speed. The ponies sueui to
to be a different species of horse-flesh
from what is generally seen in the coun
try. They are much smaller thau or
dinary horse5, American or Spanish, and
the questio- is asked, Where did the
Indians get them?" The Piutes had no
horses of any kind before the whites
came to California. In early days when
gold seekers crossed the plains, some of
their horses were stolen; and can it be
possible that the breed, under savage
training, has degenerated in twenty
five or thirty years from the large-sized
American horse to the inferior Indian
pony? Silver State.
