EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON.- We are told that "mistakes will happen in the best regulated families;" but this well-worn, and it may be very true proverb can by no means excuse the tone which the Lampoon has recently adopted in its editorials relating to the Advocate. While it may not generally be known, yet it must be very easily guessed, that the writer of these editorials attempts at sarcasm and wonderful successes at contemplibleness, is at once the controller of the Lampoon editorial columns, and one of the aspiring editors of the proposed Literary Magazine. I am, it is true, strongly in favor of the new magazine; but, when one of its editors stoops so low as to take a most unfair advantage, I have to despise him, and at the same time express an opinion of his conduct, which, I believe, must be shared by all fair-minded, nay, by all truly honorable men in college. Success to the Literary Magazine, but only on condition that it succeeds honorably, and not through contemptibleness and cowardice.

I would have it distinctly understood that, in writing the above, I have been prompted, not by any hostile feelings towards either the Lampoon or Literary Magazine, nor yet by any favoritism for the Advocate, but from a desire to see fair-play and honor in this contest that must inevitable enliven the coming year or two of college life.
