Among the new fashions introduced into
journalism is that Of prosecuting statesme n
until they open their mouths, and then to
fill them, and make them responsible for
matter which is foreign to their views and
opinions. They ara daily made to say that
which they had not even thought of aud
which is entirely new to them when they
see it in print This is what is termed in
terviewng, and it has contributed largely
to weaken journalism in popular confidence
and respect, aud yet VIC all do 1t. Like
other pernicious habits it is persstently
clung to.

THE political reservoir of the" Dunder-
head organ at the National Capitol is
exceedingly shallow, and its waters are
stale, fiat and malarious. Its discussions
are vapid and pointless and its sentiments
of sickly origin. Everything in its politi-
cal management is child-like and simple
mere kindergarten and toy shop, where
there is more clatter than sense-self-cOn-
ceit, inexperience, ignorance and assurance
being its principal stock in trade.
