THE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1888.

ally, it is the most natural thing in the world that they BhouM favor such a ncheme of disposing of the surplus. But the "plain people" of the country the fanners the workingmen and all the producing classes believe that the landholders have already had enough favors from the government. They prefer a reduction of taxes on the necessaries of life 'to Harrison's plan of coddling the bondholders, as a solution of the eurplus problem. Those Tales of English Poverty. The republican press, including the Cincinnati Enuirer, is printing harrowing accounts of the poverty in London and other great cities of England. These painful narratives are, of course, built to order in the interest of the monopoly candidate for the presidency. It is apparently supposed by the republican managers that this sort of literature will make votes for Hen Harrison. They seem to expect that voters who read it will reason after thia fashion: "Behold the terrible poverty in England ! "And England is a free trade country. "English poverty ia, of course, due to English free trade. "The Mills bill, which protects our manufacturers on an average 42 per cent, is a free trade measure. "If Iresident Cleveland is re-elected, the Mills bill will certainly become a law. "Then we shall have free trade. "Then we shall have poverty, even like England." Of course the republican managers proceed upon the assumption that the average voter is a fool. That is the republican theory in this campaign, asevidenced by Harrison's letter of acceptance and his Castle garden and South American speeches. However, we think it a very mistaken theory. The average voter is not a fool. He can read and write. Reads the newspapers. Keeps his eyes and ears open, and prefers to accept the evidence of his own senses and to exercise j his own faculties rather than to take his facts and conclusions at second hand from cheap demagogues. This, at least, is the democratic theory in this campaign. We are very sure it is the correct one. Now, the average voter, when he reads the republican stories of British poverty, will reason to himself in this way: y "There is poverty everywhere. There is less of it in England thou in any other old and densely populated country under the sun. It isn't caused by free trade because there was a great deal more poverty in England before the days of free trade than there is now; because there is much less in England than there is in other European countries which have high protective tarifTs; because in the United States, where one would least exect to find much poverty, it abounds in all the great cities and is increasing every day. The destitution in the eat end of London cannot possibly be worse than the destitution in the lower part of New York city; there is as much poverty in proportion in Chicago as in Birmingham or Liverpool; misery more abject is not found on the face of the earth than is to be seen on every hand in the Pennsylvania coal regions, and the Hocking valley of Ohio. These facts prove to my mind that free trade is not responsible for the poverty that exists in England. But even if it were it would not influence my vote in this election, because there is no question of free trade before the people. There is no political party and no presidential candidate proposing free trade. The Mills bill, which is a specific expression of the democratic policy, provides a protective tariff averaging 42 per cent. This is three or four times as high as Alex vnder Hamilton favored; it is twice as high as Henry Clat ever asked for; it is much higher than any of the protective tariffs before the war; it is away above the mark set by the republican tariffconimission, composed altogether of protectionists, only six years ago; it more than covers the entire cost of labor to the manufacturers. Therefore, even if free trado had reduced every inhabitant of England to pauperism, it would be no more reason for opposing G rover Cleveland and the Mills bill than the existence of yellow fever in Florida would be for joining a base ball club. The ifsue here is whether we shall take taxes off of whisky or off of the necessaries of life ; whether we 6hall hand the surplus in the treasury over to the bondholders or restore it to the people ; whether we shall tax ourselves to death for the benefit of monopolies or give American labor a chance. I am for cheaper clothing rather than cheaper whisky; I am for the people rather than for the bondholders ; I em for American labor rather than for the monopolies. So go to grass with your stories of poverty in England. lean find enough poverty to make my heart ache and my blood boil in protected Pennsylvania. If the question of free trade ever comes up in this country I shall investigate th subject, and if I find that poverty and protection never go together and that poverty and free trade always do, I shall certainly vote against free trade. But the question isn't before me now, and your etories of English poverty will have no more influence upon my action at the polls In November than the idle wind." This is the way the average voter, being tn intelligent man with a mind of his own, will reason to himself. There are, doubtlew, a few ignoramuses who will be humbugged by the English poverty stories into voting the free-whisky, monopoly tax ticket. But there are not enough of them to decide this election.

Lost, Strayed or Stolen? For several weeks before the Maine election the columns of the republican organs teemed with accounts of wholesale desertions of their old party by Maine democrats on account of the Mills bill. In one town sixty-eight democrats in a body had "walked into a republican meeting and announced themselves for Harrio.v, Morton and protection." In another thirty bad done the same thing, and in .i other twenty-five. Democratic farmers by the score had declared that they ' i.nted no free trade in their'e," and iYr;!d therefore vote the whole republican i;.' t for the first time in their lives. Prominent manufacturers, heretofore demwraU, and their employes in largo numbers bad became enthusiastic converts to republicanism.! Indeed, according to the republican pre-election reports from Maine, the democratic party of that state Lad practicially dissolved, and the repub

lican ticket was certain to be elected by substantially a unanimous vote. Well, as it turned out, Mr. Putnam, the democratic nominee for governor, received the largest vote ever cast for a democratic candidate in the state. The republican plurality fell off over 7 per cent from 18S4. The democratic vote increased over 5 per cent. ; the republican vote only 2 per cent. The question is: On election day where was the grand army of Maine democrats who had just abandoned their party on account of the tariff question? "Were these democratic "deserters" lost, strayed or stolen? The people who had been depending upon the republican newspapers for information as to the situation in Maine are certainly entitled to an explanation. ItEPULICAN orators in Indiana do not neglect the preat issue of the tariti". Journal. The way they handle this "great issue" is to tell the people that 42 per cent protection is free trade; that the Mills bill increases the duties on sugar and rice; that free trade prevails in all the European countries; that the Cobden club inspired President Cleveland's message; that the farmer is "protected" on his wheat, etc., etc., etc. All lies, every one of them. And it is because they would have no chance to tell such lies in joint debate with democrats that Hovey refuses to meet Matson, Porter refuses to meet Ti rime, etc., etc. The republican stock in trade on the tariff question is falsehood, and no republican has yet been discovered who would meet a democrat in joint discussion on the subject, for the simple reason that if he did he would havo to tell the truth or be exposed, and either would be fatal to his case.

All anonymous letters are thrown into the "waste basket" without reading. "In reviewing the bad effects of this accumulate'! surplus," etc Grorrr Cleveland. "There is no surplus." U. S. Treasurer Hyatt. Thus the Journal. And thus Gen. Harrison "The eurplus now in the treasury." Comment wholly superfluous. "Wool was on the free list in 1 $35-61 and brought a good deal higher prices than it does to-day. This is a fact that completely upsets the republican claim that putting wool on tho free list will injure the wool-growers. The New York democracy divided it won in 1SS4; united it will "get there in great shape" in 1868. "Take the surplus and give it to tho bondholders" is Harrison's advice. "Unnecessary taxation is unjust taxation." Down with monopoly taxes ! POLITICAL NOTES.

THE business men of New York are rallying to the supiort of Cleveland and Thurman. The Je meter's WccL'y (trade journal) reports the organization of the Jeweler's Cleveland and Thurman club of New York, whose membership includes many of the leading jewelers in the city. It will turn out ',X)inen in thegreat business men's parade shortly to take place in New York. The vice-president, D. W. Granberry, is a cousin of Judge Thurman. Dcrino the reign of protection in this conutry, wages have been decreasing and millionaires increasing. The Hon. Charles S. Voop.hees, son of our Tall Sycamore, has been unanimously renominated for congress by the democracy of Washington Territory. In Punkirk, N.Y., forty-two Irish-Americans voted for Blaine four years ago. Now all but three of them belong to a Cleveland and Hendricks t-lub. In Buffalo Blaine received fully COO Irish-American votes. Harrison, it is said, will not get fifty. Mn. Mykos Hang.!, a life-long intimate friend of Iloscoe Couklinir, fays that Mr. Conkling said to hiiu in the summer of IS'mJ: "Mr. Cleveland is making an excellent president lie is proving himself an aide, honest, fearless man. He seems to place his idea of duty hich above political advantage. He will eo down in history as one of our great presidents. His grap of national affairs surprises me. Had I not witnessed it, I could not have believed that any man whose practical knowledge of government was gained in a brief term as governor of this state could so readily have mastered the science of government." Speaking of llovey's preposterous charge against Speaker Carlisle, the Evansville Courier says: "The Caurier has already shown by the Congremonal Jltcorl that Gen. Hovey was not only permitted to deliver his speech, but that his time was extended three times the last time imdefinitely on motion of democrats. We now challenge him or any of his friends for him, to show by the Jl'cord a single instance where he ever claimed the attention of the speaker that he did not receive perfectly respectable treatment" Thomas Richardson, one of the leading lawyers of Little Falls, N. Y., and a life-long republican, is out for Cleveland, because of the republican attitude on the tariff. In Blaine's famous report on the cotton goods trade, while secretary of state, in summing np the advantages we possesss in this particular industry, he mentions as chief among them the fact that our manufactures have free raw material. "If this is a good thing for manufacturers of cotton goods," says the New York Star, "it is a good thing for all other manu facturer, and the republican opposition to the admission of free raw materials provided for by the Mills bill is clearly against the best interests of American manufacturers." TnE official figures of the Vermont election nhow a gain of not quite 6 per cent in the republican, over 11 per ceut in the democratic, and about 6 per cent in the prohibition vote. At this rate the democrats would carry New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Indiana, Michigan and CaliforpLu What comfort there is in these fitrures to the supporters of Harrison is not visible. TnE republicans are circulating the absurd story through the state that the Hon. Franklin lenders is supporting Harrison. There is not one word of truth in it; not the slightest foundation for it Mr. Landers is a genuine democrat one of the truest and Lest that Indiana ever contained and is earnestly for Cleveland, Thurman and tariff reform. He wi'l be heard from on the stump before the campaign is over. WHEN the dependent pension bill was vetoed Samuel Lettinger, an old democrat of Augusta, Ind., said be would not vote for Cleveland aejain. ow, in a letter to the Pike County Democrat, he says: "I have been thinking of this matter seriously, and 1 an convinced thai

I vat wrong. If I do not vote for Cleveland, and vote for Harrison, I encourage war taxes, free whisky, Chinese pauper labor, and opposition to labor, a whole vote. If I do not vote at all, I encourage these evils just a half vote. I know that I don't want to do either. I know these things. The issue is too plain not to bo understood. Now, this is the way I stand: I am going to work and vote for the success of the whole democratic ticket national, state, and county." . Jlepnbliran on the Tariff Wool Imports and Exports.

To the Editor Sir: Gen. llovey's attitude toward the Israelites, as shown in recent issues of The Sentinel, reminds me of an anecdote of the general which may be appropriate to relate at this time. In ISoo it was enstomary for Gov. Morton and other officials to give Indiana soldiers a public reception as they returned from the war. On the 3uth of June, ISoo, a reception was given to two regiments (myself a member of one of them) and two batteries. Gov. Morton was revented froui being present But we assemlcd in the "tabernacle" (in front of the old court-house, if I remember correctly), and speeches were made by Lt-Gov. Baker, Gens, liovey and Manslield, the irrepressible Chaplain Lozier, and other officers. Gen. Hovey warned us particularly against the Jews of Indianapolis. He said for us to hold on to our money, and make no purchases of clothing until we reached home; for the Jews were ready, and were skinning every soldier who dealt with them; that they were taking advantage of the soldier's necessity; that they were like vampires, and had no conscience; and very seldom you ever heard of one volunteering to serve their country; that did not seem tobe their calling. He said he could best illustrate the case by an anecdote of the war. The guerrillas captured a military post, and among the prisoners was a Jew sutler, in their haste to get away, they made the prisoners jump astride the horses one behind eaoh guerrilla. Going at a rapid trot nearly killed the Jew, on account of the sharp backbone and rouh gait of the horse. The Jew kept begging and making great lamentation, which was unheeded by the guerrilla in front of him. At lat the Jew exclaimed in anguish, "Jesus Christ!" The guerrilla looked around at him, and remarked: "Jesus Christ? If it hadn't been for you and the like of you, Jesus Christ would never have been crucified." Gen. Hovey cautioned us to heed the admonition of the guerrilla, and have nothing to do with the Jews. Kx -SOLDIER. Indianapolis, Sept. 14. An Old Tariff. To the Editor Sir: A few weeks ago Jlobert Cochran of this place announced in the Indianapolis Journal that he had leftthe democratic party and identified himself with the re1ublican party, in consequence of the tariff. Ie claims to he unusually well posted on this subject and says that he understands it perfectly well. Kecently, while trying to exhibit his wonderful scholarship in this direction, he had occasion to refer to the first tariff, und he dated it with the discovery of America by Columbus, "not to exceed," he said, "l'X) years ago." The truth of the matter is that Cochran never was a democrat or a republican either very long. This is the sort of a man that the republicans of this vicinity have influenced to put his name to an aitiele w hich one of them wrote, declaring his change of politics on account of the tariff. Waynetown, Sept. 14. A. School Teachers and Sereaiion. To THE Editor Sir: To settle a controverted point please give the percentage of male school teachers in Indiana that are democrats. 2. What party, the democrats or republicans (if either), first advocated secession. Elwood, Ind., Sept 11. A Democtat. 1. There has never been any political census of school teachers in Indiana. At one time a majority of fhem were republican, but we have little doubt that a majority will vote for Cleveland this year. But there is no way of arriving at the facts. 2. Neither party ever advocated secession. The democratic party, as a national organization, has always stood for tho integrity of the Union. An Old Soldier Speak His Mind. To the Editor Sir: Tlease inform me through The Sentinel the address of Col. Matson. I am forty-eight years old and have voted the republican ticket twenty-seven years. I served four years to keep this glorious Union together but I can't swallow Ben Harrison this fall. Please give the republicans a small hitch through The Sentinel about not paying the soldiers in gold or its equivalent as they agreed to. In place of paying us $10 we only got about 51. They took from us and gave it to the bondholder. C. Galveston, Ind., Sept. 11. A letter addressed to Col. Matson, care of the Grand hotel, Indianapolis, will reach him. Tho New Castle "Courier" All Wrong. To THE Editor S: The New Castle Courier of Sept 9 stated that the poll of the soldiers of Sims township. Grant county, shows that twenty-eight democratic soldiers would vote the republican ticket this fall. I have been all over Grant county and have talked with old soldiers and the people generally, and I did not meet a man who had ever voted the democratic ticket that will not do so again in November. The Courier has simply been misinformed. J. O. C. New Castle, Sept 14. The Same Hovey. To TnE Editor Sir: Is theGen. Hovey referred to in the letter of Gen. W. T. Sherman to Col. James Hardie on July 2ö, 1864, the same Gen. A. P. Hovey now candidate for governor on the republican ticket? The republicans here claim it is another Gen. Hovey. llockport, Ind., Sept 10. C. W. Brenner. It is the same Hovey. There was only one Gen. Hovey in the Union army. It 1 a Hare Fared Lie. To the Editor 'ir: Hovey, while here, stated that Matson reported a bill whereby every soldier must declare himself a pauper or that he is unable to maintain himself and swear to it before he can obtain a pension. Is this a fact or a Hovey lie? Voter. Connersville, Ind., Sept. 12. An Old Holdler Oet HU Kye Open. To the Editor Sir: I am an old soldier, served in Company I, One Hundred and Twentieth New orkl I voted tho straight republican ticket four years ago; shall cast my vote for Cleveland and Thurman this coming election. Yours very truly, E. I IlEVNOLDS. Lebo, Cofley Co., Kas., Spt 10.

HOVEY, THE "POOR MAN'S FRIEND." HU Record A a Dealer In Tax TitlesSome Interesting Heading. To the Editor Sir: "He's worth a million, an' he'll furnish money enough to buy all the democrats of Indiana we may nef d," yelled an over-excited, pompons politician, after the close of the republican state convention. Hein? During his administration of the McClure estate, contrary to the dictates of the will, he forced one class of poor men to give up farms that they had fully or partially paid for, and lose them altogether, or pay for them again for the benefit of another class of poor men. In parenthesis I may add that prominent lawyers have taxed this estate as being worth "20,000 to an administrator. When (fen. Hovey came back from Peru he purchased all the canal lands in the county at about 2 per acre and immediately raised the J trice to $10 and more, ns may be seen by the oreclosure suits on the books of the clerk's office here. The iormer cheap price had enabled many poor men to purchase farms, as the canal commissioners did not pose as poor men's friends. The demasogery practiced in congress is another straw floating toward the poor man. All these various bills would entail an outlay of billions (just figure thein aud 6ee if I am not right), which from force of conclusions would come from poor men's pockets. The poor man's friend would naturally find his reward iu a beautifully rounded pile of dollars. But the greatest uct of all for the benefit of the poor man was accomplished by hU taking a leading hand in the purchase of property sold for taxes. Iiis humanitarian instincts told him that it would be necessary to teach the poor that the taxes must be paid, and in the goodness of his heart he entered the ring. The democrats need not say anything againt his actions; he had a right to make such purchases and he was deserving of the 0 per cent penalty allowed under the old law was he not being led by humanitarian instincts? The majority of the poor, including some of the old soldiers, widows and orphans, paid their tutor like little men, but some of them not having the fear of themoral withes, figuratively, got upon their hind legs, and he was compelled to bring suits of foreclosure, as may be seen by the clerk's recoids of Posey county.

The surveyors-general were the mere instruments of grant claimants' who had purchased their claims at a low rate for speculative purposes; and " having secured favorable reports upon them and surveys enormously stretched, ihey lobbied the cases through congress, while they also made the general land office their servant. Their influence over New Mexico has been absolutely disastrous, and I believe it would be no extravagance to say that the evil they have wrought in the territory could scarcely have been exceeded by the three-fold scourge of war, pestilence and famine. DORSEY AS A REPUBLICAN LEADER. Hit Exploits as a Politician and Dealer in Western Land Grants. Their most shocking performances occurred under the administrations of Grant and Hayes; and, by way of example, I refer you to the ease of the Una de Gato grant, which was claimed by Stepheu YV. Dorsey. its area was (HXyjOÜ acres, a very large part of which is the finet laud in New Mexico. Under a favorable opinion of the surveyor-general as to its validity it was reserved from settlement under the act of congress ot liöi, and remains so reserved to-day. In the year 177 investigations were set on foot respecting the validity of this grant, which were exceedingly offensive to Mr. Dorsey. and resulted in completely demonstrating its forgery early in the ycarlS79. He thereupon determined to appropriate the lands under the homestead and pre-emption laws. But this he could not leirally do. One surveyorgeneral had declared the grant valid, and another had pronounced it a forgery, while conpress alone could determine the question, and the land was absolutely reserved in the meantime. In this dilemma the commissioner of the general land ofnee, who was touched by Mr. Dorsey's misfortune, ordered the land to be surveyed and opened to settlement, although he knew he had no power to d so. Mr. Dorsey, who was already in possession of many thousands of acres of the choicest lauds in the tract, at once sent out bis squads of henchmen, who, by perjury and subornation of perjury, availed themselves of the forms of the pre-emption and homestead laws in acquiring pretended titles, which were conveyed to him in pursuance of arrangements previously agreed upon. No record of this unauthorized action of the commissioner is now to be found in the land office. What was done was done sneakingly and in the dark, and nothing is known of . the transaction but the fact of its occurrence, and the intimate relations theni existine between Mr. Dorsey and the commissioner and his chief of surveys. Of course, he and his associates in this business, have no title to the lands thus acquired, and their entries should be canceled, not only because the land was reserved from sale by act of congress, but because the entries were Iraudulently made, as has been already shown in many cases by investigations not yet completed. These are remarkable facts, but there is no mysterv about them. Mr. Dorsey was then a power In republican politics, lie had neared the summit of his remarkable ascendency. It was the followinjr year, ISsO, that his Renins, as secretary of the republican national committee, lighted the way to a national victory for his party, for which he was subsequently banqueted and lionized as "the Napoleon who carried Indiana." When such a man wanted the republican officials of the laud department to violate the law and their oath of nice to enable him to appropriate a lanje body of public lands in furtherance of hi9 rapacity they did not dare say no, anil the robbery was accomplished, lie well knew, and so did the commissioner of the eeneral land office and the secretary of the interior, that this action was totally unauthorized, and that the land thus acquired by him and his nllk. under un illegal ordr r, rightfully belonged to the United States. In these statements I atn supported by the records of the government, and no lawyer will attempt to controvert them. This is but one case, amon many, of landetcaling in New Meiico unJcr republican rule.

If that rule bad continued four vears longer, the fortunes of the territory woula have been Mill more completely hnnded over to the tender mercies of Dorsey, Eikins and their confederates, and the work of reform would have been postponed to a day far in the distance, or made absolutely impossible. Dut a pood beginning has been made under this administration. Of the 10,0U0.0 to acres already stolen probably one-half can be reclaimed as the result of dis lohurcs brought to light, and measures already instituted through democratic officials, and nothing could more completely demonstrate the necessity of continuing the present administration in power than the facts I have presented. Gentlemen, I take no pleasure in depicting the recreancy of a great historic party in the day of its decline. I was present at its birth, and saw it prow up to the full stature of manhood; and 1 wns with it an i of it in the grand part it played in suppressing the slave-holders' rebellion and establishing liberty throughout the land by irrepealable jaw. Iu the bepinning it espoused the rights of the states, as well as the union of the states. It resolved to rescue our national territories from the polluting tread of shivery, and it demanded the freedom of the public lands for actual settlers ia limited homesteads. It made the declaration of independence the basis of its policy, and in the best sense of the word it was the "purty of the people. In its first successful battle Abraham Lincoln was its great captain, who fell under the hand of his assassin before his party had sinned away its moral heritage. Its founders and fathers were Seward. Chase and Sumner, who were the real heroes of its principles, and they walked out of it when it yielded to a demoralized leadership and turned away from the rectitude of its youth. Those great men never returned to its fold, and thenceforward till the meeting of its late national convention at Chicago it has steadily drifted, step by step and year by year, from its early moorings, and lost the inspiration and heroism that made its beginning so glorious. That convention was largely controlled by gamblers in public office, monopolists who had grown rich by the legalized robberies of our tariff system, and the agents of great railway corporations. It was called to order by a great manufacturer whose interests are largely involved in protective du

ties, and iu temporary chairman was an attorney for a prcat Pacinc railway. One of the presidential candidate was a millionaire, who lias grown rich by the tariff on lumber, and another was the attorney and representative of tho Vanderbilts and tneir system of railways. Perhaps the most active and conspicuous, if not the most influential, leader in the convention was Stephen Ii. Eikins, who was formidably reenforced by such moral auxiliaries as Mahone of Virginia, Flaunagan of Texas and Chalmers of Mississippi. If anything was wanting to show the complete apostac y of the party and its absolute surrender to the domination of special interests and personal greed, itwa-s supplied by its declaration in favor of cursing the land with free whisky as a means of perpetuating high taxes on the necessaries of life. This is its epitaph, fitly written by itself ; and the honest inen in its ranks who still vainly hope to redeem it from dishonor will be obliged to take their places in another organization and under leaders more worthy to be followed.

For Men Chiefly. When your collars and cuffs are rough and irritate your flesh, v.hen you find the fine linen eaten away in spots, displaying the coarse filling, this is the cause: They have been washed with ordinary soap, whose cleansing properties are due to caustic soda and elbow grease ; either of these will produce the above, and the starch makes them feel as if you had a saw around your neck. Pyle's Pearline does away with the rubbing, hence it saves all wear and tear in the wash. It is as harmless as the finest imported castile soap. Linens washed with it are perfectly white and last many times as long as if washed in the old rabbinf. twisting, wrecking way. Peddlers and sorae unscrupulous grocen

are offering imitations which they claim to . he P.irlinp. or " the same as Pearline."

From the Rockfori IU.) Aegiser. "The era of cumbrous blanket-sheets seems cornin2 to an end, and newspapers lilce the New York Sun and TlTB CHICAGO DAILY KEWS are the prominent journalistic successes of the period. The papers that give enough reading matter to fill a good volume in each daily issue are going out of fator with many people who have some other employment for their time than the search through mountains of straw . for kernels of news. The Bheeti that give the news systematically and amply, and without unnecessary padding, are taking the lead in the great cities."

considerably more than the circulations of all other Chicago dailies combined. It is hardly necessary to say that such a circulation could not be attained, much less maintained, except by a paper of high grade of excellence, as well as one sold at a popular price. To win such recognition the cheap paper must be as good a newspaper as the best ol of its higher-priced competitors. And this The Daily News certainly is. It is a member of the Associated Pres3, and 13 the only paper in Chicago which possesses a franchise which secures to it both the day and night dispatches of the Association. In the general field of news-gathering it represents in the highest degree the progressive enterprise of American journalism : as a '.r-paper

YMIlrift challenges comparison with any in the land. iiMMvJn its editorial columns The Daily News

Forty years ago the chief duty of an editor, in view of his limited facilities, was to gather all the news he could and print it. Intelligence was transmitted slowly ; many occurrences of interest were never heard of beyond t their immediate locality; ocean mails were long in transit, and the overthrow of an European dynasty was not known here until long after the event Suddenly there came a change. The railroad and tho telegraph superseded old methods, and the newspaper was literally flooded with news. The death of a petty ward politician in San Francisco, the result of a Presidential election, the accession of a sovereign, the outbreak of a war, and notice that a shanty had been burden in Texas, all were hurried over the wires

into the newspaper offices, and there bcinil no idea of discrimination, all were printed. oCwV

Butafter a time the very excess of the"5 ?tri

gan an era of discrimination, during which'c; arose such journals as theAfat York Sun '

and The Chicago Daily News. That the public appreciated the new departure is best evidenced in

the fact that the Sun reached a circulation of 150,000 a day, and The Daily News 175,000. The wonderful and constantly growing popularity of the condensed, low-priced papers has so far broughtthe cumbrous and high-priced blanket-sheets to their senses, that they have now somewhat reformed both as to size and price, but they are still too far removed from the true ideal of American journalism to meet the needs of the great majority. In the west The Chicago Daily News has been the first to appreciate and meet the situation, and it now enjoys the results of its twelve years of pioneer work in a daily circulation averaging over three times that of any of its contemporaries, and

By just so nuch as it thus commends itself to the regard of the truly " best people " of the community docs it voluntarily renounce any community of interest with all others. So conspicious a success must have its imitators, and The Daily News has the endorsement such imitation always bestows.
