A GREAT NEWSPAPER
The NEW YORK HERALD is wonderful paper.
1t comes to us with what it calls a quintupe sheet,
containing no less than one hundred and twenty
columns of matter-news from all parts OF the
globe. This latter expression is very easy one to
use, but in the case OF the HERALD 1t is not mere
empty phrase. Its correspondents are everywhere.
from Central Africa to Central America, and any
event OF the least Importance that uranspires is
promptly reported In its columns. The views
and opinions OF this great journal may be
held to be Of no Importance, but this is
mistake. II the HERALD chooses to take
sides on question 1t can do so with
ability and fairness but 1t Is popularity of
its plan to affect to care little for the ordinary
questions that divide men, and about which they
quarrel and bicker most foolshly. To it all ordi-
nary questions about which men differ resolve
themselves into the question whether the egg
shall be broken at the big or the little end, and it
treats them accordingly. We do not know that 1t
is wrong in this view. If we were to Judge all men
by the views and practices which have prevailed
among leading men in this Dominion for the past
ten years should say that the facility with which
men change the most cherished views the
lack OF adherence to fixed principle, the want
OF sincerity and earnestness lead to the
HERALD's conclusion But without reference
to its editorial course no man can with
hold admiration for the ability which charac-
terizes its management and the enterprise which
1t displays AS mere mechanical work 1t is a
triumph of the highest kind In journalism to bring
out such paper as it issued last Sunday. It's en-
terprise is not solely employed in such wonderful
feats as finding DR.. Livingstone; but take what it
has done during the Atlantic disaster. While
waiting and suffering much agony because unable
TO tell whether or not their friends were on board
the Inflated Ship and while the agents OF the line
declined to have the list OF passengers sent out by
cable, the HERALD steps in and performs this i'm
portant work for the people. 1t had all the
names transmitted by the Atlantic telegraph, and
they were published on this side OF the water as
soon as they were published in Liverpool. OF
course the news was bad for many, but to many
1t showed that their friends were not on board the
Inflated Ship and 1t relieved the anxiety OF all.
In addition to this the HERALD gathered many In
teresting facts about the vessel in Liverpool, and
had them transmitted in the same way TO New
York. 1t sent its representative to Halifax with
instructions to spare no expense in the prompt
and full collection Of news regarding the disaster;
and that representative, In the generous way In
which he discharged his duty, laid hosts
OF people under obligations to the great
journal he represented. Americans seeking the
bodies Of friends freely used his steam tug to go
and return from the wreck. He interested himself
In searching up particular information for friends
OF the lost who were unable to be present them
selves, and with spirit that was superior to all
petty rivalry, ne extended the courtesies OF his
steamer to other newspaper representatives.
Keeping this up day after day at great expense,
his generous hospitality was beneficial to a very
tar of pnff fly 10
is only specimen of what is daily doing by this
wonderful newspaper wherever there is a matter
In progress of the least interest to Americans. To
sneer at such enterprise is unjust, and argues an
envious spirit ready to decry that which 1t cannot
excel or even initiate
