EVENING JOURNALISM.

Denver Tribune: There seems TO
have been a radical change in the
scheme of conducting evening papers
Not very long ago it was tie idea that
an evening paper should be devoted To
gossip, chat, home news and miscella.
neous literature, without any reference
to telegraphic matter, it being deemed
the special province of the morning pa
pers to look after events occurring out
side the limits OF the city where the eve.
ming paper was published. The eve
ming paper used to be called the family
circle paper-a thing that afforded pleas
ant but not specially fresh reading. Blu,
1t is quite different now. The eve
ming paper of to-day deems 1t i'm
portant to devote as much attention
to news features as its morning
contemporaries. All over the country
the afternoon prints are reaching out by
telegraph as extensively as their more
pretentious rivals. Such twilight pub.
locations as the Cincinnati Times-Star
the st. Louis Post Dispatch, the Chica.
News and Chicago Journal haze theil
own private telegraph wires to the east
and the New York Telegram is famous
for its European dispatches, feature in
which it surpasses even the Herald: The
change in the policy of conducting
evening papers is doubtless due to the
fact that the public esteem news as the
choicest literature to be had, and will
pay for the news when they would moi
for paper deyoted simply to the more
elegant class of reading.

THE VIEW TAPTFTIAw

The new tariff bill may be full OF
imperiectiOns, making unjust discrIm-
nations in soEae cases, and may have
to be amended, but 1t is now a law.
The perfect tariff law has not yet been
conceived, and IL such q law were in
force today, time would soon make
important alterations and corrections
necessary. Already the business of the
country is beginning to adapt itself 10
the changed conditions under the pres
ent law. Many protectionists are not
pleased with it, but few, if any, are
ready to predict that it will be the
cause OF general and permanent injury
to the vast business interests of the
country. Upon this point Senator
Sherman is inclined to be doubt
tul, while Kelley, of the house, asserts
that 1.-THE protectionists of the country
will find in one year: this tariff law the
best they ever had" There is no room
for doubt that it was the best that could
be done under the circumstances, and
that Il Is no worse is sufficient cause
for eongratulafIon. It was important that
the first step toward the revision of the
tariff should be taken, while the rednc.
ton of the governments revenue,
which was partly accomplished in this
manner, was matter that admitted of
no further postponement. The princi.
