The Western Prc@A

The recent movement OF the Western
Press, declaring Its independence Of the
Eastern monopoly, haf proved quite sur
lrisc 10 those who did not understand Its
strength. Heretofore, not only the Western
I'r.ek but that VI the wllnle country has not
tuly been dependent upon nnd subsidiary to
.hc assdciatiun Of New Yo-k papers, but
have submitted to tho dictatton Of thAt
nssoCiation as TO the character Of news
which thoull Ike transmitted, The cJ1-
1rctors ot the news throughout the country
Aav. BEEN the employees uf the Ses York
Association, md have collected aud trans
n,ittcd only such dcsls.tchcs ns were consid
c,rd valua tlc by tho daily papers Or the city
of New York. while the interests Of the Vest
and South have been almost enll1cly disrc-
Iariicd and sacrificed. When the difficulty
in which the split originated commenced, It
was not believed BY thu NcT rorkers, or the
would have the Independence, Or that 1t
possessed the ability, to effect separate
Organization; but the result has shown that
too Low IN estimate had been put upon the
ability Of the Western Press to staud alone
and nansgc thci. own affairs. BY their re-
cent action 1t Chicago they have entirely
severed tnelr connection with the New
York Associatf,n, and now conduct their
at1airs through their own agent In New
York.
The advantages Of this arrangement are
aIready manifest. The quantity Of de-
spatchcs has been Increased aud the quality
improved. Our readers mus: haze noticed
this for the past week or teO. 1t Il believed
that the Improvement will be progressive,
and that the dispatches will continue to be
OF higher character than heretofore. Be-
s.dcs, The Western Association having the
entire control Of the matter In their own
hands can at any time reform any irregulari-
ties md correct any deficiencies. This fs an
important point gained aud permits the
press to he controlled by Western rather
linn Eastern interests.
The gentlemen who composed The late Con-
ecntlnn nj Chicago fully conprcheuded the
''si, uation," and Understood the wants Of the
people on this side Of the AlieghanIes, and
they also saw through the selfish policy Of
the New York Association They were sAtfe-
fed That no good could possibly result from
4 longer connection with that arrogant mo-
nopo,v, and promptly resolved upon a sepa-
rate organization, The sequel will show that
they acted wssely, and with an enlightened
regard for their own interests and those OF
their readers. ........

association md ucting III concert and har-
