WON'T DO IT.

The great asitator. Kearney. will
hardly commit 90 great q mistake as to
burn Grant in efisy. He threatened
last Sunday evening in his harransue to
his sand.lot audience ct San Francisco
that hs would do that thing as soon as
Grant landed there. His audience lis
toned but did not applaud. They did
not approve OF tho dreadful resolve OF
the great agitator. and did not assure
him that he could count on their assist.
ancs to ca,ry his internal threat into u
ecution. Moreover. the press notified
him next day that he had better not try
IL on, II be had any regard for his per-
sonal safety; that NO such dirty insult to
the great American nation would DO toll
Grated without somebody getting hurt or
killed. Tuesday evening the brave aei.
tator attended . meeting Of the Tenth
Ward workinamsn's Club, and went
back on himself considerably. simply
because he found he had to do II. He
backed square down from the words no
made use Of on Sunday, and modified
the thing very essentially.
Ksarnsy's tongue Is . sort Of boom.
erang. liable to hit and hurt himself the
hardest. especially in this instance. His
record for bravery is not good. and does
not justify any desperate attack or allu-
sion to Grant or anybody else. His
craven tongue or his legs have generally
got him out Of any scrape he ever got
into. His brazsn cheek and insufferabls
impudsncs Is always liable to induce
him to say something his cowardly soul
cannot back up morally nor physically.
The blatant whelp who ran like the
whipped cur that he was at Santa Ana,
and who has been made to swallow his
words on many another similar occasion,
has no license to even speak extensively
Of Q nations hero anu leader like Grant.
The Ala comments appropriately on the
subject as follows:
For the man who has never turned his
hack 10 Q foe; who has freely and often Of
fcred his life to the bullets OF the
try's foes; who has ever been ready to
serve his country anywhere and every
-k.--. .hn h.s h.aop honaral hv his coun-
try because he has honored her; who has
never been false to his oath to serve his
country, and whose merits and services
have been recognized and honored all
around ths world. to be 30 despatched by
such . thing a. Kearney. Is somewhat
moro than . real American can bear philo-
sophically. II 10 said that the ass can
bray at . lion with IMMUNITY, for the noble
beast will not notice him. especially when
no has better game. So Of General Grant.
He would not defile himself nor his name
by noticing . creature like kearney. Gen.
Grant fought through every battle in Mex
leo on the lines when ho has served. To
him. a. to others. we Of California owe
this goodly land which We occupy, con
auered by Grant and the other heroes Of
the Mexican War. and then purchased by
our Government and paid for by our peo-
pie. Did Denis Kearney ever contribute .
cent. or . drop Of blood. or an hours SER
vice In acquiring iR
Some Of tho men assembled on the sand
lot. who heard those infamous words,
served with General Grant In tho field.
No wonder tho shameful words fell upon
their ears like an insult to themselves. and
awoke no sympathetic response. No won
der the sand lot did not reply with its SYM
pathetic yell. The people there were gen.
orally Irishmen. They venerate their
heroes. They honor the names Of their
country's patriots. Suppose an American
to 20 far forget himself, his position, tho
people he addressed. As to speak Of Emmett.
Smith O'Brien, Daniel 0'Connell. and
other heroes. orators, and patriots, to an
assemblage OF Irishmen. say in Dublin. as
Kearney has dared to speak Of General
Grant, who 10. to Americans. a. dear a.
are their great men to them. how long
would he occupy tho stAndf-how long
would he enjoy the hospitality Of the coun-
try? But here Is . creature who has never
yet done Al act for the good Of this coun-
try, won by Grant and his brother soldiers.
In which this fellow has been permitted.
BY an altogether too liberal . policy. to
dwell and stir up strife. who darcs to in
suit the American sentiment by his brutal
insult to the man whom tho American
people love.
1t is q pretty safe thing to predict that
Denis Ksarney will make nc attempt to
burn Grant in efisy. II he does, he
will bs Immediately put in the place Of
the ef,gy and made to stay there II he
can be found. He would not live any
longer than until he could DO killed.
Moreover IL he even talks Of that thing
aeain. perhaps II would be as well to
hang him anyhow before Grant arrives.
