Show The "Trlbnue" Facetious. New York, 4. The Tribune's edi torial on the meeting between Butler and Kearney, says: It ought to be perpetuated by some possible memorial. memo-rial. It might be embodied in one of Rogers' groups of statuary. Kearney shadowed forth iu mud, and Butler beaming in alabaster, by way of signifying signi-fying the qualities which pertain to each. Judged from bis speech a distinct dis-tinct element of mud percolates the spiritual ducts of Kearney, and pervades per-vades the texture in his moral construction. con-struction. The only really pungent drop iu this p.ddle of political pap, was contributed by Butler who suggested sug-gested that the bones of Chinamen made excellent manure, aud that might be a partial set ofl against bhe conveniences of their residence on tue Pacific siope. This is a statesmanlike states-manlike way of meeting a great ques tion, aod opposes no negation to Kearney's theory, that the beat thing to do ith orientals is to kill them, and cut ofl their pig tails to furnish wigs for the bald and deserving poor. |
