readers Changeable as the HERALD is, there is
one question In which II is always consistent.
Since the German victories over France IL has
been hostile toward Germany. But this
is merely q secondary matter, consequent
on better and lasting reason. Everywhere
in America where the interests OF the
Irish Catholics are concerned the HERALD
takes their Part seriously and constantly. The
Nw YORK HERALD is the organ OF ultramentan-
ism. We know from experience how frivolous
this is. Sometimes high conservative sometimes
democratic, sometimes radical, German as well as
anti German. not less than French. POLISH Danish,
Just as IL suits their purposes But, undoubtedly,
everything suits the well-known programme not
OF religion not even OF the Romisn Church and
the hierarchy o! the Pope, but OF the Jesuits:
Therefore 1t is that the sensational, impudent
New York paper follows blindly the tendency
OF Jesuitism, OF which very little is known up to
this time IN Europe, but which, OF course, de-
serves the attention OF everybody. The founder OF
the NEW YORK HERALD, the late Mr.. james
Gordon Bennett, was Scotchrnan and there

ent proprietor, also belongs to the Romish
Church. and all well-known editors OF this paper

the German armies still stood in France ana the

be interpreted as hostile to the Jesuits. Then the

herald CORRESPONDENT REPLIES TO THE CHAM
CELLoR
The accusation herein brought against the
HERALD Is one which probably in the opinion or
your readers. you might have passed over with
silent contempt. They know that the charge Is as
groundless as the malgnity by which it is inspired
Is base. But there Is among the stan OF the
HERALD an esIrtt de corps, spirit OF loyalty such
anmates every student OF Harvard or Oxford
toward his Alma Mater; and tmpelled by these
sentiments Mr.. John P. Jackson, who at the time
was representing the HERALD IN Berlin. published

ALLGEMEINE ZErTUNG.
The No,ddeutschs AHgemeine Zettung OF the 30th
OF December contains an exceedingly violent
attack upon the NEW YORK HERALD, which Is SO
thoroughly untrue ana contradictory that |, as
the Berlin correspondent OF the HERALD, Ieel
bound TO request the insertion OF tue following
REPLY.
1t can hardly be believed that the article In
question was written by professional Journalist,
considering It's numerous contradictions. For
instance, IL accuses tue HERALD in the same
breath with want OF principle and OF fanatica
ultramon;anisn, beside showing, in reference to
American journalism, manners and religion, the
amusing ignorance which causes 1t to apply
a German standard to these matters. Ii 1t were
true that the said article could procure Tor the
HERALD several hundreds OF subscribers from the
readers OF the NordGeutsche Auege1petne Zeitung

the difference between the two papers and would
become convinced that II is possible TO publish
