Numbering laundering editorial conduct of the
Ga-ete has reached that stage when il has be

have no desire whatever to detraet from the a re-
sponsibIlity" OF the editor for everything that APP
pears in his columns-we are far from envying
him the honor of having to father all the absurd
tiles emanating from the Foreign 0See, or any
