Two Kasei One of our bright young men has just come in with the news that General GRANT and Henry WARD BEECHER are dead. We would not have our readers suppose for one moment that this fact will make any difference in our editorial policy. We be- lieve that rascals such as they and Grover CLEVELAND are quite competent to pretend that they are dead, as Cardinal RICHELIEU did, and use that cover to perpetrate even greater villainies than they did before. Therefore, we shall continue to heap abuse and revilings upon their defenseless heads. The highest duty of a journalist is to use the columns of his newspaper to perpetuate his private dislikes, hatred and jealousy, and we do not pu to be swerved from our duty by a little thing like death or by any consideration for the feel- ings of widows or orphans. Ve shall continue to keep our readers in- formed about the rascality of Grant and Beecner, even unto the third and fourth generations of those we hate. What Ben Says.
