The New York WORLD celebrates to-day Its nth
birthday under Mr.. Pulitzer's management. Il

has been phenomenal. Nothing like 1t has oc-
Cured within the history Of Journalism In this
county; we 40 not always agree with our CON
dence and wish 1t every success.
From the Boston Hsra,d.l
The New York WORLD INDUCES IN q jubilee over
the remarkable success II has achieved In the field
of journalism, which enables 1t to celebrate it's nfth
birthday with proper pride under Its present
regime. THE WORLD felicitates itself on tho fact
that it is not only a great rewsgatherer, but that II
is a moral engine also, and that 1t Is thus enabled
TO elevate anu instruct the people, as well AZ to en-
tertain them. This Is the true mission of the press,
and The WORLD deserves It's full sh IRE OF credit for
having demonstrated ane " the advantages to be
derived from pursuing such o course.
From the Troy Telegram.I
Five years ago yesterday Mr.. Joseph Pulitzer
assumed control Of the New York WORLD. The
paper then had little influence. Its circulation was
small and Its business not promising. Now its cir
cufation Ia nearly three hundred thousand copies q
day, and Its advertising patronage unexampled
even In New York, where merchants understand
the value Of printers ink. Such amazing success
In the newspaper business was never before wit
messed, and 1t places Mr.. Pulitzer among the great.
est journalists of the world. Carefully trained in
his profession himself he has called about him q
stan that can handle anything, from a chicken dis
pute to the intrlcacies or an International treaty
or the elucldation Of the DOnnelly- Bacon cipher.
from the baltimore Amsrtean.l
The New York WORLD appeared yesterday % IN
anniversary number in recognition OF it, nfth
birthday under the present management. The
1rontispiece represented some of THE WORLDS re-
| cent advancement In Journalism, with characters
tic modesty, and the growth Of the paper in the last
nve years was barometricaliy shown. 1t would DO
folly for any American journal to attempt to belit-
| se the wonderful progress of THE WORLD during
that period. as the public would promptly divine
the motive and brand It. Ii has been phenomenal,
even in this age Of surprises, and is mainly due
to the independent tone OF the paper and Its saga
| the day, truthfully told in q p~aiatable form. we
wish THE WORLD many returns OF the anniversary
Of is second birth.
