The Morning News is abnormally sensi-
tive to the criticisms Of the EVENING
JOURNAL though we make them ever so
kindly The fresh young man, who
might be occupied in obtaining local
news, is busy counting and deploring the
number Of times his paper is mentioned
month by month for reproof, for correc-
ton, or for both in this paper.
The evidence Of reform or profit from
our kindliness is meAgre, the paper does
not improve at all, or improves slowly,
in it's moral tone, It's circulation does not
increase and its influence does not ex-
tend These are subjects OF poigra ant
chagrin to the editors and taken in con
nection with the fact that the members
Of the party Of great moral ideas" and
superior intelligence here, prefer
the Daily Jersey, as a Republican article,
to that hot from the brains of Sperry and
Hill. That depreciation makes the peo-
pie Of the News intensity sensitive.
Feeling this, they twitch with pain and
wriggle with self-inflcted torture every
time we mention them.
Now, the EVENING JoURNALis good
nAtured and generous; it does not wish

tors useless pain; our intention is 10
make IL better and, If possible, induce
the Republicans to prefer II to the Daily

that the News is better paper than its
competitor, and that the Daily Jersey is
a disgrace TO any party, to any city.

ing their paper and their editorial
methods to deteriorate to the level Of the
Daily Jersey. Il may seem a difficult
task to commend their work to the
people who prefer the work Of the Daily
Herssy, and the News has shown signs
recently Of adopting the methods and
catering to the ignoble tastes Of the
same intensely ignorant and bitter parti
sans, whose reading matter the Daily
Jersey supplies, but, Tor its own sake
for the sake of the moral and politica
health of the community, aud for tn,
sake Of general civilization the STANDARD

Daily Jersey.

petty spites; hence we mention the New

It. We feel sure that the editors an,
