of journalistic enterprise TO which the war has given

measurably above all the Journals OF the world. That

Atlantic cable. one Of these messages cost about
1900 in gold, and two others were nearly
quite long There is, besides, daily supply
Of shorter telegraphic correspondence, which, in the
aggregate must cost nearly as much Indeed, we have
little doubt that the expenses OF THE TRIBUNE for
correspondence alone including salaries, travelling ex-

must have amounted to something like $1,000 or 5000
