Name of Herald Adopted For Leading Chicago Paper.

Since James Keeley purchased and took charge of the Chicago Record-Herald and the Chicago Inter Ocean a discussion in which subscribers took part has been conducted to determine the name the paper should adopt From the start the name Herald was favored by the greater number and that name has been finally adopted. The Sunday Herald was a great paper with departments that should satisfy every diversified demand. Patrons of the Inter-Ocean regret very much to see the paper pass from the field it so ably filled for so many years and republicans regret the fact that it leaves Chicago (without a republican paper, but suggestions to have the new Keeley publications appear under the name Inter-Ocean could not be heeded, lor the Inter-Ocean had better pass into history than to be conducted as a non-partisan"paper. The Inter-Ocean had financial troubles and this fact indicates that the strictly, party paper as applied to the great cities is to be a thing of the past. Chicago has fjx great newspapers today, The Tribune, The Herald, The News,' The American and Examiner, The Post and the Journal. None of them are bound by the ties of party. Indianapolis has The News, The Star and The Sun. They profess to be independent, although The Star in peanut politics style is supporting the progressive cause. The Ipdianapolls papers have, to all appearances, been on the market politically for many years. The great city papers are free lance, and seem in the main to be guided by convictions in moulding public opinion, although some show unmistakeable evidence of being controlled from the counting room. It is hoped and The Republican is convinced that Mr. Keeley will guide The Herald to the forefront of honest and responsible journalism, above party, above the counting room and as great as is the opportunity at this time in that greatest of all cities. Dr. Charles Vick, who has been greatly incapacitated for a number of years by falling eyesight, has so cured the agency for Hurlburt’s Story of the Bible, written so entertainingly that it has proven a splendid seller all over the country, being appropriate for either the old or the young. Dr. Vick has taken several subscriptions and the book would be a splendid adjunct to any library and he hopes to sell it into every home. Dr. Vick is convinced that an operation for his eyes will restore this sight and he will use the profits from his sales oward having the operation performed. His case is a very worthy one, and The Republican recommends it in addition to commendng the splendid book he is selling.
