A. JOURNALISTIC IsHMAELITE.
Some of the characteristics of the Proprietor

Some of the characteristics of the Proprietor
of the Chicago Times.
Chicago Letter in New York Tribune.
Wilbur F. Storey has been, during the quarter
of a century that he has conducted the Times
whichhe bought from the late Cyrus Mccormick
unconstitutional Ishmaelite, and at the same time
an able fearless, absolutely independent journ-
alist. While he has been instrumental in vita
ting the Western press to an extent, he has rem
dered it enterprising and energetic. His paper
has not been clean; it has ever been sensational
in the extreme, printing whatever it could find,
regardless of impurity, with the assumption
that the public demands news. 1t has been
nicious, for writing up things, as it is profes-
sionally termed; and this process has often run
into indecency and RIGHTEOUSNESS.
Storey has always defied public and private
opinion in his calling and individually, and has
ostensibly gloried in his defiance Still, he has
professional corruption. His journalistic faults
have been mainly those of a veritable cynic who
believes the worst of his kind and delights in ex-
posing it. The very few men who have been in
timate with him-his nature and behavior have
always been such as to repel friendship bear
witness to many generous qualities which he has
taken pains to conceal Merely as newspaper
the Times has been one of the first and has been
prodigal in expenditure. 1t has been decidedly
prosperous, clearing on an average. it is said
from $75, 900 to 800 600 annually, although when
Storey purchased it it was, and had long been
losing money.
Born in Vermont, he became a printer--a
very fast and accurate one, it is said-and in his
early years went to New York, where he worked
at the case on the Journal Of Commerce After
various experiences, inclination led him to
Detroit and in due time he opened drug store,
and thrived at the trade. Having published and
edited two Or three rural papers in Western New
