NOBLE TRIUMPH
Americans who acknowledge no sovereign pay
ready homage to public service. We are not slow
to acknowledge our Indebtedness to those whose
achievements In art science literature have ben
Gifted mankind. We erect our statue to Morse be-
fore his death, and we honor Fulton as we use his
invention. So, too, we applaud the noble enter
prise OF our great newspaper the HERALD, in send
ing an efficient expedition into the remote,
unknown wilds Of Africa to discover the explorer
DR.. Livingstone, and to extend our knowledge
OF African geography. In the Old World such an
undertaking would only have been fitted out by
royalty, but In republican America our leading
journals have more power and far greater influence
than the head of many monarchies. The HERALD
has made for itself the position of the greatest of
newspapers by the constant exercise OF legitimate
journalistic enterprise. Wherever on the face of

The HERALDs enterprise in sending Mr.. Stanley

From the Philadelphia Post, July 81
There is something almost sublime In the meeting
between Livingstone and Stanley in the deserts Of
Africa. The noble old man was in the midst Of bar
barians, poor and alone. For many months he had
not looked upon face that beamed with intelli-
gent sympathy, or could appreciate the sacrifice
which he had made in the cause Of science. He
lived in world Of his own, peopled with his own
ambition and noble thoughts, and surrounded with
misfortune which we cannot appreciate. Stanley
was the representative Of the world Of civili-
great explorer, and was hoping for his
safety and watching anxiously for the
work. Livingstone in his solitude heard voice
speaking his name in his own language, and it is
no wonder that .his features lit up with a smier
as Stanley said, "Dr. Livingstone presume.n The

STANLEY has been heard from again. and this
time with wonderful stories of adventures to him
sell, comes a report of his meeting with Dr. Living
stone and their explorations in company during the
month that followed The news from Stanley is
told in another column and though it reads little

reader can say how much of 1t Is true or how much
false.
