him, for he, like all such mercantile news
paper men, is time-server, and utterly
fails to appreciate that an editor may care
more for his honor than his stipend. The
Ercning Post has bad case OF Gouldisin.
Mr.. HCoH HASTINGS being the present
boon companion of Boss GRANT the Conn
mercidl 1duoriiScr il the Official bulletin
of the Long Branch court. We cannot
call the style of Mr.. HASTINGS chaste,
though il frequently makes up for its lack
of more important qualities by flashes of
wit and humor. The view Of politics
taken by MIR. HASTINGS IL not that Of the
ideal adviser of the people. IL Is rather
that OF "a man who has not so conducted
himself IA to preserve the cnthusiasms OF
youth, and Keep clear and bright his moral
cycsight. The Commercial Advertiser is
Republican root and branch of the most
approved GRANT variety. Mr.. HASTINGS
would not object TO GRANT for third
term. GOuldisIn might easily, and without
too great expense, effect an entrance into
the office of the Commercial Advertiser.
Mr.. ERAsrUs Brooks, of the Epening Err
press, is one of our old-time editors. He
keeps the Express free from matter objec-
tiouable to refined mind, writes scnsibly,
grnvcly, and ntelligently, and preserves a
heart which beats with kind impulses.
Rival evening Journals have sprung up
since the days when Horace GREELEY aud
ERAsTUs Brooks crossed swords and fought
To the death; but the Express continues to
command from us aud, we hope. from the
public, undiminished interest and esteem.
Goudisin does not blight the Express.
The representative journals in this city
published IN foreign languages form an in
teresting section Of our journalism. The
oldest of them is the Courier DIES Flats
Unis, always able, always interesting, al
ways faithful To the interests of French
men naturalized or temporarily resident
in this country. Tho Messenger Franco
Americdin, industrious and philosophical,
with Republicanism enough TO get an oc-
casional dose of Government advertising,
is also an intelligent and readable news
paper. The most important, however,
among this class OF journals in the United
States, is the Stats Zcitung, conducted by
Mr. OSWALD OrTENDoRFER. Its circuln-
ton is large and its advertising business
constant. Twenty years ago il was mn out
and out Democratic organ; but to-day its
ability, sincerity, and independence of all
party diotation justly give IL an immense
power among our German population. n
1t has a fault, IT is, perhaps, in being too
uniformly solemn and prosy but even
that fault il trfing compared with its ex-
celleuce. There is no trace of Gouldism in
these German and French journals
Last we come 10 our pictorial friend, tn G
Graphic. Mr.. CRoLY, the editor, is n man of
hobbies, but he has editorial tact and judg-
ment. He is overruled by his publishers
who are hard mt IL after money, and will
support Boss SHEPHERD or the devil II
they can get printing contract by II; but
yet CRoLY makes readable evening
paper, and his cartoons have much inn
proved of late. The tendency to pru-
riency which we criticise in the World
is too characteristic of the Graphic.
Some OF OLIVE LooAS's letters have been
simply disgusting. Look out for this mat
ter, Mr.. CRoLY. We see no Gouldism in
the Graphic: but its Shepherlism and
Grantism are quite enough in that line.
| 80 thcy pass in review before us-a pro-
cession not always imposing but never I'M
interesting. We gaze at il with something
more than curiosity-with solcitude, in
fact. Our daily newspapers may do much
good, and they can bring about much
harm. So long as they are edited ny men
who speak the truth as they know it,
there will be no danger from our press.
1t is Gouldism that IL dangerous. That is n
noxious weed growing in a soil where Only
healthy plants should wave their stalks.
Let it be kept despsed poison weed in
the garden of the tall tower. We give our
best respects to our contemporaries.
