THE SEARCH FOR DIR. LIVINGSTONE
prom the Lehighton Pa.) News, May III

Prom the Lehighton (Pa.) News May Ill
II seems that the search expedition organized by
the NEW YORK HERALD to find Dr. Livingstone, the
famous African traveller, has been successful The
expedition went out about year ago, and Mr.
Bennett has inst heard from his correspondent. The
news Is to the effect that DR.. Livingstone is alive
and well, but it does not say when he will arrive
from the interior Of Ethiopia. The HERALD has en-
gagged In many enterprises, but this last eclpses all
that it has ever done. 1t has accomplished what
nations like England failed to do. The fact that
James Gordon Bennett organized the expedition
and paid its expenses out of his own pocket should
be widely published, for It is an honor to his
sagacitY and liberalty. The HERALD is great
paper, and Its owner and proprietor is great
man. f 3o1
From the 6teubenville (Ohio Herald, May al
Salem ldass) paper, referring to the cost Of
the HERALD expedition in search Of DR.. Living
stone says that one Salem house In the Zanzibar
trade has paid drafts to Stanley's order to the
amount Of $1,000 and that was probably for small
fraction OF his expenses. We are not sure but the
discovery Of the North Pole, the complete explora-
tion OF Central Africa and the general opening OF
the unknown regions Of the earth is to depend In
future on newspaper enterprise.
From the Coeyman's IN. W Gazette, Nay Ill
The two most important questions that have
bothered the brains OF the geographers and phian-
thropists Of the New as well as the Old World
were: Where are Sir John Franklin and Dr. Living
stone Both OF these problems have been solved
by American enterprise. DR.. Kane the indefati-
gable navigator, as result OF his Arctic expedition
settled the fate OF the former, while the solution OF
the problem Of the whereabouts Of the great African
traveller DR.. Livingstone, Is much more satisfac-
torily answered through the wonderful enterprise OF
tho proprietor Of the NEW YORK HERALD. This bril-
liant achievement Is only In keeping with the we'll
known Characteristic Of the pluckest editor and
and the most successful journal In this country or
europe. And yet there are writer's mean spirited
enough to endeavor to detract from the deserved
credit due Mr. Bennett for what he has done in send
ing our an expedition In search OF great traveller
"no Iad not been heard from In six or eight years.
And wRose iate interested to high degree both
continents. All honor then we say to Mr.. Bennett
and the enterprise Of the NEW YORK HERALD.
