Newsnanar Changes.

Two or three recent newspaper changes
are of more than common interest. 1t is
announced that Mr.. z. L. White has pur-
chased the Providence r. l. Press of which
he has been editor for three or four years.
Mr.. White made an excellent reputation as
journalist while Washington correspondent
of the New York Tribune. His intelligence,
candor and sound judgment were conspicu-
GUS in all his work and since he has had
charge of the Press he has made it paper
of marked ability and increasing influence.
It may be presumed that as proprietor and
editor he will be able to accomplish still
more in the way of improvement. The pres
tige 80 hong onjvyedeabg tho Providence
Journal on account of the connection of
Senator Anthony and Mr.. Danielson with it
must inevitably suffer somewhat by their
death; but Providence is city which may
we'll sustain two high class newspapers.
In Philadelphia there have been some re-
cent noteworthy important changes. The
old North American celebrated it's centenni-
al by reduction of price to one cent, SOW
ing disposition to compete with the cheap
papers Astounding in that community for cir
culation- But more significant than this is
the secession from the Press of that city of lis
managing editor Mr.. NJ. P Handy and sew
eral other members of the staff who have
purchased the News failing penny evening
paper, and made of it morning and even
ing paper which is already popular and like
ly to be highly successful. Mr.. Handy is one
of the most enterprising and successful man
aging editors in the country. He filed that
position on the Philadelphia Times for sew
eral years during which it leaped into great
success. Then he was engaged on the Press
when that journal was in it's lowest estate,
and in connection with Mr.. Charles E.
Smith, its editor in chief, he brought it up to
place among the conspicnously bright, in
huentiaI and pt osperous papers OF the coun-
try. Now he has paper of his own which
it is morally certain will become power in
the community and prosperous property.
We have already noticed the fact that Me-.
A. j. Blethen, formerly of this city and Mr..
Haskell, son of E. B. Haskell, editor of the
Boston Herald, have purchased the Minneap-
oils Tribune. This is a strong team and
Minneapolis is place of large opportunities
in the newspaper line. Mr.. Blethep for sew
eral years past has been the business mana
ger of the Kansas City Journal and contri-
buted largely TO make that paper the most
enterprising and prosperous journal between
the Mississippi River and the Pacific.

would be improper for me to hold up Mr.,
Cleveland as man whom believe to be in

Democratic conventions" and then he went
on and called attention to the fact that a
large number of people of New York city
and State who in former years supported
with great unanimity, the party's nominees,
had aenated themselves on account
of questions which they had taken deeply
to heart; asserting that "their grievances had
been ignored until self-protection, the first
law OF nature, compels them to reyoit.''
This is the kind of talk by which the Tam

half of the Democratic ticket. There is no
evidence that they were wildly enthusiastic

The Boston Herald yesterday in its edito-

from Neal Dow which the Democrats are
circulating in Ohio, prefaced by the state
ment, "We do not know whether it is genu-

it contained Neal Dow's statement which he
made over his own signature, pronouncing
the letter a forgery. This is only one in
stance of many of the way in which the
Herald ignores facts in its editorial columns,
However the Herald is much fairer than the

A month ago Mr.. Sterne Chittendep,
through the columns of the New York Post
proposed to William Walter Phelps, to give
$4,000 to Yale college if that gentleman
would prepare an answer to the "Little
Rock' charges which President Woolsey
should pronounce ON examination not dis
creditable to Mr.. Blaine. The Post was
very much pleased with the offer, and
called attention to it day after day, remark
ing that an exoneration from President
Woolsey "would be worth more votes 10
Blaine than Steve EIkins and the largest
kind of a campaign fund would be able to
secure" Now, however, that President
Woolsey has expressed the belief that the
Little Rock charges are slanderous, the Post
considers President Woolsey of very little
consequence. 1t says he is eighty-three
years old and retired from work and affairs.

Gen. Drum of the army has just returned
from three months tour in England. He
tells the Chicago Inter Ocean that the most
noticeable thing over there just now is the
interest the people are taking in our Presi-
Dental election. and if an opportunity were
given them to join in the November cleo
ton he thinks that Cleveland would carry
England unanimously. The dislike of the
English people to Blaine, he says, amounts
to violent prejudice, and he was not able
to find any thoroughbred Englishman who
would speak well of him. they regard the
coming election as contest between the
protective tariff and free trade and are
naturally interested in the result. Almost
every Englishman he met had something to
say of the evil influences OF a protective
tariff and the benefcent wisdom of free
trade, and they all inquired anxiously az to
the prospects of tariff reduction bill at the
next session of Congress-

for free trade policy, and the establish

Tammany's performances are giving Cleve-
lands friends great deal of worriment.
Though publicly protesting to see moth

the Democratic ticket, in the nomination by
Tammany of an independent mayoralty
ticket there are abundant signs that privately
they are greatly disturbed by it. They fear
that the braves are going to play once again
the old trick of supporting the ticket openly
and knitting it secretly. And their fears
are probably well founded.
