rect opposite Of the French. II England the
journal is impersonal. Only the name Of the
publisher is given to the public. All else is
profound secret. The editor of Louden
newspaper is myth.
The London Times, which claims to be the
leading journal OF Europe, never published
the name Of the editor nor any OF its writer's
or correspondents, except in one instance that

advantages Of this system all accrnc 10 the
Journal, which is built and formed into a
tremendous engine of concrete intellectual
force. Men enough are found WHO arc willing
for pay, TO sacrifice their indiydualities and
their intellectual gifts into common mass
for the benefit Ola remorseess impersoaality.
The foregoing exhibit Of the journalism of
France and England is truthful and withal
novel 70 most persons but the declaration
that the American .journll Is generally the
property Of the editor, who permits no name
to appear in i but his cwn,-that he appro-
priates The labor Of lis assistants. their bril-,
lance of style, their industry, their learning
their observation and experiance 70 build up
a false reputation and enhance the value OF

Of fact, as - general proposition.
The journalism Of our country partakcs
strongly Of ths personality Of French journal
ism. With US the editor is no myth we know
just where to look IN his thoughts ana lie

The last Indepeni lent in an essay entitled
The Art of journalism" gives It's readers
the leading CHARACTERISTICS OF the profession
in France, England and the United States.
In France journalism is purely personal,
the publisher the eaitcr and the writer is
each responsible for his own work. The pub
Usher must be known, and furnish security
for the proper conduct Of his journa1 before he
is allowed to issue copy. The name of the
editor in chief must also be kuown that the
government may know who to punish if he
permits any outrages of public dccency in his
paper. 1aa tA
The name Of each writer must be append
ed to to his contribution, as further security
to the public agaist anonymous articles
These requirements it will be observed do
not derange in the least degree on the free =
dom of thc press; it is simply a check on the
general licentiousness of journalism it only
con,pels each individual ritter to assume the
responsibility of his own acts, and il secures
tohim also the benefits which may accrue from
them. fs8
The English system Of journalismis is the d.

Two of the feet grew weary
One dreary, dismal day,
And we tied them with snow white ribbons,
Leaving him there by the way
