THE CITIZEN'S FAME.
A copy of a recent number of the Virginia Citizen was mailed to a distinguished clergyman of Baltimore, himself a Virginian, and he writes concerning it to one of the Citizen's staff: "I enjoyed the paper. Not a dull line. Bright, stimulating and original. I gave it to an appreciative man who agreed with me that so strong a paper should be properly clothed. It reminded me of a gentleman dressed in the rags of a tramp. I wish you would send a copy of that issue to McClure's Magazine, marked 'for the editor.'" Which same goes to show that the paper trust will keep a paper in straw (not rag) - the same as other trusts keep bright and rich intellects sometimes in the garb of the poor.
