The NEW YORK HERALD OF last Sunday was
auintuple Sheet containing 100 columns, of which
7s were filed with advertisements This Is un-
precedented in American Journalism; and the
HERALD may be excused for devOting column
and half to gorifcatiOn over 1t. The HERALD
claims to be sort OF business barometer for New
York; and when its columns are crowded with ad-
vertsing, as they have been all the Spring. 1t ar
CUES that it indicates great solid prosperity and
confidence in the future OF business.
Whether the HERALD's deductions are souad or
not there is no question that Its enterprise is be-
yond all praise and its business success the marvel
OF the times.

From the Indianapolis News, Apr9l
The issue of the NEW YORK HERALD for Sunday
was the greatest paper ever published since
journalism began its mission. 1t contained twenty
pages, one hundred and twenty columns seventy
eight of which were filed with advertising and
forty-two with news and general intelligence. The
HERALD IL the business barometer of New York,
and this certainly shows wonderful activity No
one can prophecy where the HERALD will stop. A
II AUO + w a NOT for
it to pubsha four page supplement- and now 1t has
begun to give three times much.
From the Philadelphia Press April 10l
The NEW YORK HERALD holds without dispute the
position Of the greatest newspaper in the world.
In the collection of news matter 1t Is almost always
ahead. It's last feat has been to send reporter
down into the ocean with the divers who visited
the Atlantic wreck. What the HERALD accom-
plishes in the gathering of Information is rendered
possible by the support given 1t by the advertising
public. 1t Is no unusual thing for the HERALD to
print quadruple sheet, eight pages or which are
filed with small closely set advertisements while
the cards OF business men are also found on the
other pages.
From the Keene IN. H. Sentinel, April 10.l
The NEW YORK HERALD OF Sunday appeared in a
quintuple form, containing 100 columns OF which
seventy-eight were devoted to advertisements and
forty-two to reading matter. At the rate charged
by the HERALD the income from the advertising
alone for that day Is estimated to have been nearly
twenty-five thousand dollars.
from the Galveston (Texas) News, April 4.
The NEW YORK HERALD Is not only newspaper,
but an institution Nothing like 1t has ever eX-
listed before. With the aid OF industry, shrewd-
ness and wealth 1t has been developed into
grand bureau of intelligence, amusement and phi
lanthropic science. There is no telling to what
q pitch OF generosity the HERALD may not attain
in It's polite e,stravagances. 1t is difficult to
imagine the latest and GROWING form 1t may
assume in dstanclng p0tentates in the production
Of splendid scientific surprises, and in leading tt
way OF governments In the practical labors Of re-
form, exploration and charity. Whatever may be
said to the controlling motive of this last phase of
American speculation, it Is undeniable that great
and worthy projects have been undertaken, &C
complished and dismissed by this erratc and pow
erful journal before the usual projectors OF such
achievements have fully rubbed their spectacles,
discussed the expediency and estimated the cost
OF them.
