Some of our people OF u feelings
object to the publishing OF such state
ments as appeared in the columns of the
SENTINEL the other morning concerning
the "death. watch on Gen. Grant, IL
which was mentioned the fact that nu'
merous Eastern papers, fully aware o.
the wants and demands of q modern peo
nile. had each set a reporter to keep con
slant vigil in the ne~ighborhood OF tbs
Grant residence, so as to be on n
when the last hour comes. True. there
ia something about the matter tina
crates on q mans finer nature, but !
must nevertheless be borne in mind tina
to-day the American people. espeoiaii,
in large cities, are so eager for news con
corning matters of interest that they
care no how or in what way such news
il obtained. and when they do give the
subject consideration il is generally re-
garded by them as a mark of progress N
journalism.
There is no doubt but that American
journalism takes the foremost rank.
Important matters hardly occur when
accounts of them are Immediately OBJ
tanned and published to the world by the
press Of the larger cities Of the Union.
So great is the demand for information
concerning matters Of great interest or OF
n startling character that sometimes the
most ingenious barriers are overcome by
reporters, and in many cases the RISKS
they run are so great as to make their
attempts hazardous. They are but
servants, though, of q modern reading
public, whose wants must be gratihed.
Every year when the President OF the
United States issues his Thanksgiving
proclamation every known means is re-
sorted to by newspaper reporters and
others to get copies of the document IN
advance Of the public. An attempt OF
the kind was successful some three years
ago on the part Of a New York daily, and
the result was an investigating commit
tee was appointed and a reward of SlO,-
600 was offered for the arrest and con-
viction Of the party or parties guilty OF
the theft. Since then only three or four
Of the highest and most trusted officials
Of the Government Printing Office at
Washington are allowed to see or handle
the document after it leaves the Presi-
Dental mansion. These trusted indiyid-
uals are generally compOsitors, and If any
part Of the proclamation becomes known
to the public in advance Of the time
agreed upon they are held responsible.
Ii is said that Public Printer Rounds
and his two chief foremen put in type
aud printed President Arthur's last
Thanksgiving ordinance.
The bad features Of this v-oraciousness
lie not with reporters and newspapers,
bat with the public who demand the
latest possible intelligence on all matters
Of decided and general interest.
