The H.raId as a Newspaper.

Yesterdays HERALD contained seventy
columns of reading matter-the most varied,
interesting and valuable collection of intelh-
gence, perhaps, ever presented to the public
in single copy Of daily paper.
Our special cable dispatches from London
and Madrid were Of great interest. In tho
former was told the thrilling story of the loss
of the Deutschland This was illustrated
with map of that part Of the English coast
where the disaster occurred, showing all the
treacherous sands of that dangerous sea.
The messages of the President and the Sec
retary of the Treasury, making q page each.
were printed in the same issue with the.
shorter story of the Secretary of the Interior.
Fuller particulars of Tweed's escape were
given, with the report of minute examina-
ton of o large portion of the district
the news by telegraph from Europe
and all parts of our own country;
our usually full reports of current events,
decisions of courts and similar topics Of
local interest /; our unexampled collection
of ship news our commercial and financial
intelligence and full page of literary criti-
cism all this together constitutes budget
of news such as is not every day presented
even in this paper-and never in any other.
Different newspapers are, conducted on
very different theories News is to be gath
cred by an extensive organization of appro-
pirate machinery, and it is to be presented
with more or less editorial skill Some jour-

themselves greatly on the taste and dainti-
ness and literary nicety with which they set
that little before their readers. No doubt
if man has only q radish and
cracker for breakfast it is better to
have this put before him with all the
accessories of snow white table linen
and cut glass saltcellars. 1t is well to feed
his eye if you are compelled to leave his
more craving appetite not altogether satis-
fed. And in this sense those of our contem-
poraries who cultivate journalistic art fill
their small sphere completely and USE
fully.
Our own opinion is that the public needs
a hearty meal in the matter of news and
likes also to have it served neatly and dec
orously, and our extensive organization for
the gathering of news, covering every ship
frequented sea- every civilized country and
several uncivilized countries, our provisions
for the capable discussion of public topics
and the mechanical resources for putting all
the matter thus furnished in handsomely
printed form in the hands of the reader, are
all without rivalry in extent and effective
ness.
Our latest features Of regular Sunday
letter Of gossip by cable from Paris and of
financial intelligence by cable from London
are intended to be permanent additions to
our news machinery, and our London bu-
reau and our extensive Paris Office and read
ing room will not only be rallying points for
our countrymen abroad, but will afford us
great facilities for carrying out still larger
programme for the use Of the cable.

tuition TO lay it down as a law, if
our Presidents, who support and defend
the constitution, break it in practice. Presi-
dent Grant has done more than any other
President to transcend this salutary law by
surrounding himself by Methodist court
and showing that his administration never
fails to respond to the influence Of Methodist
priests
To this influence we trace this wanton
throwing of this aschool" firebrand into our
politics. We repeat that this is not only
danger to our government, but to the Church
itself We hold Methodsm in high honor.
II has done much toward the civilization of
this New World. 1t has brought into reli-
glon life, courage, sincerity, tolerance and
freedom, and resolute driving on and on
toward religious aims that we see in no other
Protestant faith. No greater calamity could
betall this Church, its honored prelates and
its devoted members, than for its priests to
attempt to control the administration of the
country. When one sect, no matter whether
Protestant or Catholic, aims for political
power, the tendency is to unite all other sects
against it and to bring scandal and reproach
upon it, and in the end to do harm to the
true spirit of religion. Therefore, President
Grant in his Message has made q double
error-frst, as the head of the country call
ing into being question sure to excite the
animosities Of sects; second, in throwing
upon his Church, if he respects and loves it,
the odium of dabbling in politics. There is
no more danger to the free schools of
America than there is to the free press
This phantom of religious interference in
education" is a political Will-o'-the-wisp
which appears when a party is in distress.
1t is invoked every generation by dema-
gogues who would gain political power. 1t
is unworthy of General Grant, altogether un-
worthy of his position as President, his fame
as a soldier his character as a man of COM
mon sense. We dwell upon it with pain as
the one blot in Message which otherwise
meets our warmest commentator and
which without this would have stood out
among the ablest most conservative and
most patriotic documents ever addressed to
the American people by an American Presi-
dent
The New York herald., 1875-12-09
The NatIonal Finaness.

1t is TO be hoped that the democrats IN
Congress will have sense enough to give Mr..
Bristow's recommendations fair treatment
Legislation at this session, settling the pol
Icy Of resumption in 1879 by providing ad-
equate means for its attainment, would take
that issue out Of politics and save the demo-
cratic party from the most embarrassing
question which threatens to disturb its
harmony next year If measures looking to
resumption are defeated by democratic oppo-
sition the party will be Justly chargeable
with hostility to specie payments and be
sunk by the same milestone which was tied
to its neck in Ohio
Of course the recommendations of the Sec
retary are susceptible of improvement and
the democrats may render them more accept
able to the country by friendly amendments
to the bills intended to carry out this OBJ
ject. The question will probably be first
taken up in the Senate, and the control of
the republicans in that body will make it
easy to pass the necessary measures. When
they are sent to the House the democrats can
lose nothing by weighing them fairly on
the hard money democrats can make to the
plan of funding the greenbacks as
an important step toward specie pay
ments. There is, indeed, room for differ
ences as to details, but none with
respect to the main feature of the recommen-
dation. The other measures proposed by
Mr.. Bristow are such as ought to commend
them to honest men of all parties. Besides
funding part of the greenbacks the govern
ment ought to accumulate stock of gold,
and Mr. Bristow's plan for doing it seems in
most respects unexceptionable. There is no
reason why the rree trade and hard money
democrats should refuse to vote for the res
toration of the duties on coffee and tea, which
would bring considerable sum into the
Treasury without perceptibly adding to their
cost. His recommendations for consol-
idating the customs districts, for
abolishing the minor custom houses,
and thereby dispensing with needless
officers, for reducing the thousands of arti-
cles on which duties are levied to smaller
number, and simplifying the business of col
lection and making it more efficient and for
guarding against frauds in valuation by sub
stituting specific for ad valorem duties, are
all in the direction of reform, and ought not
to be opposed for party reasons The demo-
Gratis in this Congress have everything to
gain by candor, moderation and sincere aid
to all the sound measures proposed by their
political opponents. They acquire and
strengthen public confidence by convincing
the country that they may be safely trusted
with the possession of power.

Cable Rates and Cheap Telegraphy.

We have several rumors from the conflicting
cable companies as to what they will do in
the way of rates. 1t seems that the old COM
pany and the new company are endeavoring
to agree upon q general uniform tariff. 1t
would be mistake for the new company to
do anything of the kind. 1t has less capital
stock than the old company, and necessarily
needs to earn smaller rate. The old COM
pany is governed by the Bourbon policy of
making all the money possible out of the
wants of the people and Of treating the
electric occupation of the high seas as a
monopoly. The new company will make
a great deal more money by cheaper rates
than by continuing on the basis laid down
by the old company. The value of the cable
is in its general use People should be
taught to use it, The press should be en-
couraged to send columns of news from Eu-
rope where they now send paragraphs The
wires should be kept at work to their fullest
capacity When one wire will not do there
should be ten to follow it. The argument in
favor Of cheap telegraphy is the old argu-
ment in favor of cheap postage cheap
newspapers and the cheapness of every arti-
Gle that belongs to general consumption.
We are convinced that if the new company
will only be wise to adopt o. rate Of, say a
shilling word, and hold IL there for year or
two, they will make business large enough
to compel the building Of other cables. At
the same time they will unite England and
America by ties Of even closer commercial
and personal intimacy,

THE Loss or LIFE in the great colliery ex-
plosion at Barnsley England, will amount

endeavoring to perfect the safety lamp while

the spigot and wasting it at the bung.
