MODERN TURF NEWS Theres a cheap scandal monger at Lexington Ky who bus done a lot of damage to the turf Tia the Cincinnati Enquirer He fakes news lies about men and horses and is a miscellan ecuf anarchist of the most dangerous type His most recent effort has been made on the Buck Easton quarrel purely a business matter out of which Mr Easton came with flying colors There was little news in the matter But com mont was voluminous Now comes a supposi ¬ tions case and denial which goes to the end of insinuating sham sales in which J B Haggin took part There should bo a method of re ¬ straint for space writers who earn money by such methods methodsThe The correspondence fakirs however are not much more to blame than the editor who prints such tommy rot He should either have his head half soled and heeled or soldered into sense There are plenty of cobblers and tin ¬ smiths who are able to do the job for both cor ¬ respondent and editor The mechanics how ¬ ever cannot furnish probity and judgment Thero are street cars of various kinds however in tho manipulation of which such exliterary characters might do fair work
