WY MrNeToN, TUESDAY. SEPT. 4
Changes of FIFTY Years.

Yesterday the New York Sun celebrated
the tiftieth anniversary of its existence by
distributing q fac siEae copy of the first
issue, and devoting the entire first page OF
the regular issue to an interesting history OF
the concern. The contrast between the Sam
of to-day and the Ssn of nifty years ago is
wonderful, and shows at . glance
the marvellous improvements that have been
made in this country during the past FIVE
decades.
And vet, when the modest little San of
Sept. Sd 1888 made It's bow to the New York
public, American journalism was over fifty
years old. The GAZETTE, at that time, had
been in existence forty-nine years, and
had doubtless come to be regarded as one
of the patriarchal journals of the country.
One might suppose that with so much occa-
sion for observation and so many opportuni-
ties of prohting by the experience Of Others
the Sun would show a vast improvement
over the early issues of the GAZETTE, but
candor compels us to state that
such is not the fact. Journalism
in this country appeared to run in
regular beaten track for more
than ffty years, and 1t was some time after
the establishment of the Sun when pub
fishers began the exciting, exhaustive and
tenacious hunt for news that has made
American journalism the most splendid and
progressive institution OF the country.
Next year the GAZETTE will complete the
first century OF its existence. 1t was one o
the pioneer newspapers of the American
Colonies, and of its ancient eontem
poraries but one-the Baltimore American
we believe, can show its face to-day anC
boast of a continuous, uninterrupted exist
euce during these more than ninety-and
nine years. A few papers can, by purchase
and merger, date back to the struggle fo
American independence, but the GAzETT1
and american, il mistake not, alone have
clean ,undisputed right to this distinguished
prestige.
A review of the GAzETTE's career wi
prove valuable contribution to our loc
history, and no pains will be spared to re
der 1t interesting and complete. 1t W
show as radical change between the pap
of the past and the present as will the reco
of any other American journal for we dou
If any city in the country OF like size has
good, interesting and cheap papt
as the people of Wilmington are bless
with. However, we will not anticipate o
next years effort, but simply hope that I
our present patrons and many new on
will be with us when we celebrate the ce
tennial anniversary of the good Q
GAZETTE.
