4 few week age, in alludins to an arti-
Gle in the Calrert journal, we intima,el
that it might have been written by one who
wears the judicial ermine. The Journal
assures US that the article was written by
ono Of the editors of that paper, andthanks
US for the compliment paid it. We in
tended no compliment. The arguments
advanced were not as strong as are usually
found in the press, when an editor assumes
position, and we supposed some preten-
der to journalism had taken up the quill.

A Tribute to the Press,

toast "The Press
SIS there any need for extolling journalism
and its representatives when | stand here IN
a company of eminent men who represent all
phases of civilization and who have assembled
here to do it honor? Here sit the men who
by the choice of the people have been called
to the control of public atfairs-national,
State and municipal-the clergy are here; the
bench the chief of our great university the
prominent men in finance, commerce, mlllta-
ry men, artists, manufacturers-all are here
because they all recognize that the press Is
the ally of them all, and, although like all
other human things, may sometimes go wrong.
vet its great aim is right, and it moves toward
that aim with a.strength that is resistless; and
though it sometimes falls into error, yet the
evil that it does is brief and transitory and
the good that it accomplishes strong and en-.
during. The clergyman breaches to 800 OF
the faithful on Sunday and through the press
on Monday morning breaches 10 hundred
thousand. The soldier, when he presses into
the thick of the fight, feels that bright eyes
will glisten to morrow when they read OF his
heroic endeavor. The diplomatist must study
its columns; the banker go to them for quo
tations the merchant for movements OF com
modify the manufacturer, thepolluclan, the
sporting man, the artist, the lnventor-all
read, and must read-if they would not be
left behind-each day its chapter of the con
temporaneous history of the world. And the
great men who sit at meat with us all know
that, vast as are the forces which they sway

they are now in the presence of men who are
the engineers of force equally great-the
