The second American cardinal has been duly
Installed, and newspapers in need of summer
subjects will probably give columns of their
space 10 the history and traditions of his office
IL may surprise some surface students of eccle-
sastical affairs to learn that the title of cardinal
mas not always been confined to members of
the sacred college at Rome. but that the limita-
ton now in vogue WAS established thirty three
years after Eng and had become a Protestant
power, and twenty years after the death Of
Henry Will In earlier times IL was applied to
those priests and dsacons in metropolitan
church who acted as councillors OF the bishop;
and In ~. PauPs Cathedral in London to-day
two minor canons are known as senior and
junior cardinals of the choir, their duties being
the preservation of order in the services, the
administration of the eucharist and the con-
duct Of funeral ceremonies. The office to which
Archbishop Gibbons was raised yesterday,
therefore, though one of the most honorable in
the gift OF the Pope, is by no means the most
ancient, going back only a trifie more than
three centuries Tor the origin of its present

The law of development by alternate aggre-
CATION and segregation has some interesting
Illustrations In practical journalism. Within
the memory of men still In active life the
newspaper very simple alfalfa mere
chronieier o. ordinary happenings, exponent OF
some phase of popular opinions, and mirror of
the needs and desires OF the community In It's
advertising department. Gradually it has
extended Its scope. IL has reached into the
doma'rs Of the magazine and taken stories aud
essays thence. IL presents to its readers the
better part Of the advance sheets Of works
which the book publishers bind up in two or
three volumes. II has ceased to content itself
with description, and adds pictures and maps
thereto. IL penetrates the secret recesses of q
governments bureau; IL tells what the latest
millionaire has for breakfast; 1t interviews
kings. queens and chsncellors. 1t buys coal by
wholesale aud deals IL out in small quantities
10 the poor at reasonable prices. II offers prizes
for feats of special prowess. Ii captures crimi-
mails whom the police have given up. 1t sends
medical aid into plague-smitten districts and
heads funds for the relief of financial or poIit-
teal distress. Ii organizes parties tor geOgraph-
icaI exploration, and pays the expense out Of
Its Own treasury.
Thus we see that the query what a newspaper
II would be harder To answer than its opposite,
what a newspaper il not. When Will the
coupter-iorces set IN, and that which Is trades
be rendered unto trade; that which Is lite
natures De rendered unto literature: that
which belongs 10 the machinery of charities
and correction be turned over thereto; the dis
cover.es of science be left to the scholars who
have made such subjects the study of their
lives; and the newspaper, ceasing its effort to
be everything To every body, come back to the
less ambitious estate of recorder Of the
activities of men and bodies outside Of its own
employ?
