ter writer: There was a procession last week
IN honor Of the Madonna de Settle Dolori, and a

founding influence Of q name. When the pro-

Reuters kilograms" are the stereotyped
words that stand az the head of the column q.
dispatches in the London daily papers but the
Spectator denOunceS Reuter- and his kilograms.
Reuter- il SAYS, d" IS becoming Is nuisance.
He is a Jew, who has a monopoly Of the news
agency in London, and the Spectator finds this

vantage in all the news OF the world hltering to
England through a single channel fed by rivu-
Jets which may be favored 20 any extent uu-
seen. It may be said that the agency in this
respect differs nothing from anewspaper Office.
and the assertion is perfectly correct. But the
newspaper is watched and corrected by hum
dreds Of acute and eager rivals, with different
interests, hostile views, and separate means Of
information; by parliament, and by the thou
sand channels through which intelligence per
meates well informed circles. Reuters agency
is not corrected az The tme by anybody.
