NEW YORK HERALD.
The Next News from Europe-Tremendous
Excitement.

The interest which is beginning to be felt here,
IN every circle for the arrival of later intelligence
from Europe, is more intense and excruciatng than
what has taken place for many years past-dating
from the era OF Noah's flood.
The steamer from Liverpool Is now seven days
ont, on her way 10 Boston Her news will not, pro-
baby, reach us for eight ten days to come. There
are, however, four or five packet ships now fully
due, and expected to arrive every moment at this
port, from Liverpool, London, or Havre, every one
of which will probably bring important, or at least
later news, than what have already received
from Europe.
The interest is great for the arrival of the next
intelligence, that every newspaper establishment ls
exertlng itself 10 the utmost IN order TO procure II
as quick as possible.
Under these circumstances, and the spirit and
tone which have been given TO newspapers recent
ly, we are much afraid that we shall sustain one of
the most excrucatng defeats IN this description OF
enterprise that has ever been experienced in New
York We have heretofore beatenall our conem-
poraries, many occasions. In fact, as a mere
matter OF policy, we afraid that we have dis
lancet beaten and dlsgraced them to such an extent
that they are now making efforts sufficient to defeat
all our energies, and that viii have at last to bite
the dust, and to confess shocking, overwhelming,
butwe hope not fatal, defeat.
The combination OF circumstances, and efforts,
and events, and energies, which has been formed
among contemporaries in this latitude to give us
beat in receiving the next foreign news-an over
whelmlng defeat-s quite curious and remarkable
Il shows the changes public opinion and private
interests make.
Now, 1t is well known, that of the most furious
crusades that has ever been waged against any class
OF hard working men, has been waged by the Wall
street press against the poor pilots of this port; and
by no journal has there been more bitterness and
hostility evinced in carrying that war, than by
the Courier and Enquirer. That journal has stimu-
lated all the opposition to the real interests of the
pilots, within the last few years. 1t has stirred up
the Chamber OF Commerce to memorialize Congress
against them, and at this moment they have several
members atWashlngton lobbying to oppose them and
prevent Congress doing that hardy and enterprising
set of men that justice TO which they are entitled
Yet in the face OF all this hostility to the pilots the
Courier and Enquirer has undertaken to swallow
all its professions and principles, in order to enable
it, not it says to be ahead Of the Herald but not
to be behind it. Here lisa document issued from the
Office Of the Courier and Enquirer to the old pilots,
which explains itself: -
will give SIS per day for each and every days later
intelligence from England furnished by the old pilots or
boys, exclusively for the Courier Enquirer. with the
understanding however that they may furnish the news

JANUARY 9Th, 1916.
II will be seen by this extraordinary State paper
that the Courier & Enquirer, while it is party to
treaty offensive and defensive with the rest of the
Wall street press, in collecting and obtaining foreign
news, tremendously violates that treaty, and en-
beavers to form secret treaty with the old pilots
whom II has accused for years past OF the greatest
atrocities, for the purpose of furnishing with news
at least the Nf,p York Herald This
treachery OF the Courier, TO It's associates in Wall
street, Is not more amusing than the modesty with
which il wishes to be placed on the footing as
the Herald. Ii is one OF those extraordinary move
ments and efforts which will probably tend to pre-
vent us from beating our contemporaries in the pre-
sent look out for foreign news. But not only is this
effort made, but we are credibly informed that our
venerable contemporary ofthe Tribune offers a sum
Of two hundred and fifty dollars to any pilot who
will furnish with two days later and ercsive
By the expected packet ships. What arrangement
the Journal Of Commerce may have made, we do not
know, bur it is highly probable, Judging from out
ward circumstances that that respectable establish
ment will not be forgotten by its friends, the Devil
and Tom Walker. AS to the Sun and Express, and
other journals, they appear to be inefficient OF late
days, so listess, that no one considers them worth
the trouble of athought.
II will be seen, therefore, that the victorious ca
reer of the Herald furnishing ahead of all its con-
temporaries the foreign news to the country, has
put il in most dangerous and awkward predlca-
ment. In fact, the memorable victories of Napoleon,
beginning with the splendid one of Monte Motto,
and running the round of the Bridge Of Lodi, Aus
teritz, Marengo, &c.-al these brilliant victories
were the means of rousing up the energies and
slumbering faculties OF the whole of Europe, and of
creating combination Of the whole world against
that wonderful man. 1t was long career of victory
which laid the foundation OF that reaction against
Napoleon, and paved the way for the mighty battle of
Waterloo, which checked his career, and forever
laid HIM up IN ST. Helena
So II is with the unfortunate, the unhappy Napo-
leon OF the press in this latitude and longitude The
numerous victories which he has achieved in news
paper enterprise have reused up the laziness and in
doence OF the New York press, and given a spur to
their efforts and enterprise. Under such circum-
Stances end with such appalling difficulty staring
IN the face, we much afraid that in the ap-
preaching contest with our contemporaries the bat
Tie of Waterloo Is at hand, and st. Helena not lar
off. The whole OF the New York press appear TO be-
combined against us; and our only support in this
trying situation, is on the sympathy, encourage
men and patronage OF the pablo and posteri,y, in
GLIDING own good luck and unfailing resources
But we will not die withou, kick. We will try

Napoleon, our great prototype in war, as we are in
peace, wanted the tact and genius to think of post
ponng that great day OF defeat, the battle OF Wa
terloo. We have II, and we mean, if we possibly
can, to put of this grand defeat, until another
and more opportune period, as the lawyer wanted
