NEWS,
do SO.

The DEMOCRAT is not in the habit OF boast
ing of It's enterprise but 1t is proper that we
should call public attention to the fact that
the dispatches received by the DEMOCRAT
from the National Associated Press, are SUI
perior in many respects to those received by
our rontemporaries from the New York Asso-
ciated Press from which we were so long
excluded. The various kinds of interesting
news both foreign and domestic have been
much more fully reported In our Geographic
columns than in those Of our contemporaries
Some days ago we printed the full inferma-
tion relative to the movement OF Eptscopa-
Iians in England towards the Catholic Church.
-Four DAYS subsequently, the Picaanne copied
out If an Eastern paper, word for word, the
telegram printed days before in the DEMO
Graf. The same day that the confessions of
Mel in and Dennis were published In Network
they were printed in the Geographic columns
of the DEMOCRAT They appeared in the
TTmea three or four days later, copied out Of
the Western papers.
The Picnuune Of Sunday morning was as
far behind the times as its contemporary for
it printed on thatssmorning a column and
a half Of matter relative to the McLin

the National Associated Press. The Allocution

almost IN full, five days subsequently our
contemporaries contained synopsis of 1t
from the New York papers
Our commercial reports are as full as those
of the Timea and Pindunne. and as reliable, If
not more reliable Our general news is m ore
complete, and upon the whole. we challenge
a comparison Of our telegraphie columns
with theirs
The people Of New Orleans have been
long accustomed to believe that there are no
sources of information outside OF the New
York Associated Press sort $50 far az the
South is concerned)of superannuated concern.
We have shown them, if they will have eyes
to see, that there is n better, fuller and more
reliable medium Of news, and that the Dem
ocRAr. excluded from the New York assoca-
ton bv the enterprise Of the Times and Pica-
yuae, has discovered it.
The reader who has intelligence enough to
understand that a thing is not the best simply
because he has been accustomed to use It.

/ DEMOCRAT with those Of its contemporaries
will soon see that there is moro news in the
dispatches we print than in those of the Times
