THE HERALD IN PHILADELPHIA

From the Philadelphia Evening Star, August 1o.]
1t is not yet too late to pay our brief tribute
to the marvellous stretch Of enterprise whereby
the NEW YORK HERALD has revealed to an aston
ished world the wonders Of continent hitherto
unknown, and won for itself the right to be re.
garded the pioneer journal Of civilization. Com.
pared with the HERALD's splendid and audacious
triumph all previous achievements in the field Of
Journalism are dwarfed into insignincence No
ure of applause from the journals and dignitares Of
OF Europe can sufficiently discharge the obligation
under which the ''great daily'-fOr there Is now
but one great daily In New York-has placed the
entire scientific world. 1t only remains now for
bring home Sir John Franklin or his body. After
that must sit down and weep for other worlds to
conquer.
From the Philadelphia Evening Telegraph,
August 1911
Mr. Stanley, the HERALD correspondent, accom-
plished great feat in discovering DR.. Livingstone,
and his success, when On expensive expedition
sent out by the British government failed, was
signal triumph not only Of personal pluck, but Of
genuine American enterprise. 1t is to be regretted
that Mr. Stanley should, after such q splendid
achievement, have been forced to endure the inso-
lence OF envious and ill-mannered Engshmen, who
pretended not to believe his story, and who did not
hesitate to plainly call him liar until he was
t% Speis sna
important private and official adviceS nom the
explorer. Notwithstanding this, however, at
a banquet given at Brighton on Friday Mr. Stanley
was insulted while responding to q toast by ex-
pressions OF ncreduity on the part Of some OF the
guests who evidently did not know how to behave
themselves like gentlemen and he was obliged to
retort and to withdraw from the table for fear of
further insult. The best thing that Stanley can do
is to shake the dust Of England or his feet and
come to America. when his own countrymen will
give him such reception as he merits, and allow
him all the credit he deserves for his splendid
achievement That he deserves some testimonial
OF the hands Of the people Of the United States
one can deny; for his performance, which Is making
the British geographers and explorers gnash their
teeth with rage and envy until they have forgot
ten what poteness MEANS was peculiarly Amer
lean affair i'm its conception and execution and as
such every American citizen has an interest In it.
From the Philadelphia Ledger, August 1877
The NEW YORK HERALD Of Saturday published
eleven columns Of dispatches from DR.. David Liv-
ingstonc, the African explorer, to Lord Stanley and
Earls Clarendon and Granville, representing at
different times the British Foreign Office. These
dispatches were conveyed to England by MIR. H.
M. Stanley, the NEW YORK HERALD correspondent
and dsc0vercr OF Livingstone, and were delivered
by him TO Earl Granville, who, In formal letter,
testified to the genuineness Of the documents.
These letters also Published by the British Foreign
ONCE, are written in the same free and easy style
as that used by Dr. Livingstone in his previous COM
municatons TO the NEW YORK HERALD.
