. American bee journal. Bee culture; Bees. 170 Now, a year after this error was fully ex- plained, we are denounced for the former, and no notice taken of the latter ; the Sec- retary remarking to the Convention that he sent us a contradiction of the " base asser- tions," and that we refused him a hearing, and "continued to heap accusations upon the producers," though not a word concern- ing it has since appeared in the Joitrnal. The Secretary sent us a very abusive article, and demanded its publication exactly as written, or its immediate return to him. Being evidently written for the purpose of having it returned, we did so, with the fol- lowing courteous explanatory letter : Chicago, Jan. 27,1879. Mr. Geo. W. House: Dear Sir—Yours came duly to hand. A letter from Mr. P. B. Thurber says the re- port was gotten up by a malicious and jealous enemy of their house, and lie has an article in the February number concerning it. Am exceedingly glad to hear that it is not adulterated and confiscated as reported. There will be no need of publishing your article now. Thus. G. Newman. In the above we did not even hint at the abusive language in the article, and thus sadly disappointed the young man who now assails the Journal, thus : How have the contributors of the American been treated ? Itisafactthatarticles are mutilated to correspond with the views of the editor or his friends, without any reasons for so do- ing. What would you think if you knew your arti- cles were first sent to Bingham, Clute, Doolittle & Co. for their approval or disapproval ? Communications that will further tjieir interests are highly endorsed and published, while those in conflict with his ideas are destroyed. Apiarian supplies that pay the highest commisssion, get the best endorsement, while those articles over which he has no control are kept from the public. See British Bee Journal, Dec.
