Not Dead. But Sleeping.

The world refuses to know that James Gordon
Bennett has gone away from us. man whose
personality was great does not belong to the city
OF the dead, but to the world. II is strange that
when God calls man to a higher place we begin
| to discover that what he was and what he did are
still ours to know In greater measure than we
ever dreamed Of Men OF transcendent genius, like
Bennett, Franklin, Cromwell, Scott, do not die.
Shakespeare was mistaken: the good they do Ia not
Inferred with their bones. There is an argument
for the doctrine of the immortality OF the soul in
the fact that the world always knows such men.
We may all moarn that We no longer go to the
ark Of our covenant for oracuar revelation but We
commit an egregious error in our sorrowful
thinking. No man can now mistake Ben
,netts meaning The revelation OF his genius Is
brighter for the future than 1t was in the past.
He did enoughmore by far than 1t is given to most
men to do--and man who did so much, who was
80 great belongs to us and TO our children. 1t
among Bennett's earliest sayings, when he was
harassed by dificnltles, that when he gone the
world would call him one OF the greatest beneac-
tors 81 his rae race Men In their sesaness Were SLOW
Of last We are fond Of saying that he gave MS the
HERALD. He did more than that; he gave US Journals
given us political economy, deorge Jones
has given news enterprises, Mant0n Marble
has given us newspaper refinement; the younger
bennett mas given US marvellous DARING; keA0 mas
given us magnificent fight; Young has given us the
perfection OF newspaper writing; but 80 long %
there are men to remember 1t win be known that
James Gordon Bennett gave us-journalism. We
had had Kings and Presidents, Senates and Parlia-
ments and Congresses and democracy In cOnven-
lions, society, law, religions philosophical systems
ana PHYSICAL discoveries; and the one thing the
world wanted God sent him to give. We do not SO
much know that we have had the HERALD as that
we have Bennett. There were who stood by
and wept when the dark corteoe yesterday moved
sadly and slowly past the white palace that he had
buided to put his pet paper into; but
blind that we do not know that he would not have
us stand still and weep There was much more
to do than he had time to do; that the world has
1eternity in which 10 do.

James Gordon Bennett has gone to his long home

power, OF inexbaustible resources, of wonderful
intuition that the future in the presents

miraculous power drew the century after him-this
man, as we write, Is borne to his rest. Jealous
but not ungenerOus; working out the brain and
nerve Of strong man for one single idea; devot-
ing day and night to one purpose; wasting the
energy of powerful organization to achieve that
one victory; looking upon all Gods creatures
simply as tools for him to use; jumping before the
time into strange and apparently absurd excuses
Of enterprise, this self-reliant Scotchman taught
America and the world the beginning OF Journalism.
He had hard fight. He Is SCARED all over with
the smtes OF war. Yet, through thick and thin,
through Jealousy and obloquy, with courage that
