Specimen Interview between the Editor and a Contributor.
E. Good morning, Mr. Blank; have you done the Spurgeon?
C. I have it with me.
E. And the Herbert Spencer?
C. You shall have it to-morrow.
E. That’s good. And now I want you to tackle Bimetallism, the Beef Trust, and a life of Ruskin. Can I have them by Wednesday morning?
C. Certainly.
E. And, Mr. Blank ——?
C. Yes.
E. Please contrive not to get the facts mixed this time. When you sent in your two last articles, you credited Lord Salisbury with the ‘Washington Post,’ and stated that Sousa had never really understood the art of ingratiating himself with the wives of Tory wire-pullers.
