The Heralds war against the news

acrimony, and so far the Herald can
not be said to have got the best of it.
The refusal of the Aldermen to allow
Mr.. Williams to erect Herald news

waited Road has caused some surprise.
but it is easily explained by the fact
that it is near election time, and the
philanthropic liquor dealers who
compose our Board of Aldermen in
tend to make capital out Of their aid
to "the poor workingmen,' against a
"bloated millionaire" "How did the
Herald get that resolution into the
Board? l asked man pretty we'll

cal politics. "Oh, | suppose it was
through their City Hall reporter"
he replied. "You know the City Hall
reporters of the different morning pa
pers are little power of their own

Alderman would dare refuse them
anything for fear of being punished
afterwards. Now and then however,
amusing complications arise. Some
time ago, for instance, the Morning
Journal, which has it's publication
office in the basement of the Tribune
building desired permit from the
Board to erect pillar with sign IN
front of their establishment. The
Tribune people naturally objected
The Journals reporter got number

The Horse Show which has been

They remind one very much Of the

Mathew Arnold has been astonish-
ing everybody by his native limo

Americans years ago, and seems bent
on conciliating them by saying that
he has frequently read American
newspapers. Poor fellow, nobody
thinks Of him, That pushing lion
hunter, Mr.. Carnegie, who made a
coaching tour through England and
wrote silly book on it, has taken
