refuses to help its infirm Third street
neighbor by lending it the use of its news
columns, especially when the news is so
stale that nobody cares to read it. The pub
lie has had frequent Illustrations of late of
the eagerneSS with which the Pioneer Press
has been gathering news items from the
GLOBE and appropriating them. The COM
plant that the readers of the Pioneer Press
have been making is that it allows the news
TO get week or two old before it publishes
it. But yesterdays issue shows such
marked improvement in its enterprise in this
direction we feel impelled to say word in
commentator. We give below some news
items concerning Wednesdays storm which
appeared in Thursday mornings GLOBE, and
which reappeared in yesterdays Pioneer
Press:

DAILY GLOBE, Thurs
day, July 9, 1885.
1t will be observed that the only impor-
tant change made by our contemporary in
the phraseology of the GLOBES special o
Thursday is the substitution of the word:
yesterday afternoon for this afternoon.
Whenever Old Hundred gets within twenty
; four hours of the GLOBE in its news de
partment it is making long strides in thC
direction of enterprising Journalism.
