NEWSPAPER ScURILITY.-While the daily
newspapers Of Chicago rank, and justly so,
among the most euterprising in the country,
their reputation for scurility and personal
abuse is also second to none. While God
has endowed their conductors with ability
of no mean order, the devil has evidently
given them the use Of it. With the excep-
tion of the Journal, which is decidedly con
servatvs in its language as well as its poll
tics, their columns daily TEEN with Trades
which reflect no credit either on the journal
which publishes, or the party which endorses
them. In this category, however, it is need
less to say the Times is literally without
compeer. During the past week, it's at
tacks on the Repub hcan, of this city, have
merited the condemnation of every honor
able citizen. Sheer blaguardism and SANDER
eventually Injuries no one but the party who
INDUCES In it, so the present instance
viii be no exception to the rule. s
That the Republican, up to the present
time, has virtually proven failure, no one
can dispute. That its editor-in chief, Chas.
A. Dana, was also a failure-is an equally
self-evident proposition. He came, he saw,
but be did not conquer. The great expecta-
tons entertained at his advent were never
realized. His abilities were unequal to his
pretensions; the people Of Chicago were not
the ignoramuses he evidently took them for.
In fact be was somewhat sold. Like good
many theatrical stars he had been pulled &
little too much. Our public soon tired of
his verbose essays. The graduates of the
p1uItsm in pdreo school were in demand,
and he certainly did not belong to that class
OF writer's. He assumed too much..and per-
formed too little, and the result twas that a
journal which was started under the most
favorable auspices failed to occupy
the position which was waiting to be filled.
WhhtaIl this 10 tree, Il 10 certainly no
apology for the rufhanly, indiscriminate as
sault made on the conductors of that sheet.
Rumor says jealousy of his old rival, James
W. SheahAn, is at the bottom Of the
present attack by Story. 1t ID also
reported that the Repsblic0n il about
to trim it's sails, and come out full blown
administrations sapporter, and D to avoid
that catastrophe that the Times is so sore
ly exercised about its financial condition.
