JOURNALISM OF THE RIGHT SORT.
70 The EditOr OF The Tribune.
SIR: 1t is very gratifying to lifelong readers
Of the journal founded by Horace Greeley and especially
20 those who have sharply dssented from such things
its policy to with what journalistic Ugor and
breadth the era Of the paper is entered upon I
gladly confess that criticisms which have made the past
swept entirely away by this departure,
and that resume faith in the newspaper which, in
the last great crisis OF human affairs the FrancoPrus-
sian War, got well ahead OF every journal in the world
and spite Of being behind 1900 miles OF ocean, actually
told Great Britain and the Continent. well America,
the fullest and best daily story Of the take par
ticular satisfaction in seeing with what intelligent and
hearty emphasis you greet facts coming up in
human affairs That is Journalism Of the right sort.
