The successive triumphs Of the HERALD
attaches In fields where more timorous or
less enssrprising Journalists have failed is
something Of which We feel justly proud.
Their successes have astonished America and
are q theme Of curious comment in Europe.
The finding Ct Livingstone seemed too pro-
digious an exploit st hrst 10 be be-
lieved by our contemporaries on either

suggested that the whole affair was
manufactured in . back attic in New

after most determined battle with the clouds

Now, our especial delight has been to observe

The tribute which il thus honestly pays the
HERALD we accept in the frank spirit with
which il is offered The grave writer who
penned the above has, it seems after labo-
rious process of thought, arrived at formula
ton of HERALD enterprise which does infinite
credit to his qualities of head and heart
Glad always to notice q keen apprecia-
ton Of modest worth, we are, never
theless, equally rejoiced TO help out
our admiring friends in their struggles with
the question of newspaper enterprise. The
fact is that the HERALD. by means of the tele-
graph andits reportorial corps, has brought the
world-civilized and barbarous-into as close
relations with its readers as the newspaper
of twenty-five years ago could place them en-
rapport with ''the ordinary details of crime at
the Police Courts, which circle of information
would seem to cover the extent Of English
newspaper enterprise to-day To the tele-
graph we are primarily indebted for this in
slant communication of the news when col
lected; but for its collection . continuity q
system, Q widespread organization and q
ready, able and courageous staff of as
sistants are needed. The perfect dis
cipline and esprit de corps which
hold the writer in the service Of the
HERAID, ever ready at . moments' notice to
proceed upon any mission, no matter how far
it may Garry him, and no matter what the diff.
iculties in the way, can only be appreciated by
witnessing its operation. II is discipline
which makes every writer on its staff prepared
to work in any groove assigned him, and not
to trouble himself with any other con-
