DISPERSION OF TALENT.
The transfer OF Mr.. John G. Reid of his
editorial services from the World 10 the
New Haven Palladium. and OF Mr.. Juiius
Chambers of his from the same lournal To
once a Week, mark the disbanding oil one
of tho most interesting groups OF journal
Istic talent it has been any ones fortune
To observe beneath one roof. At one tiine
recently in the towering hen-coop which
crowns his ecru building by the bridge
Mr.. Pulitzer had daily assembled and iail-
inc over each OF hers heels no less than nVe
ex-managing editors of important news
papers. each drawing salary and wonder
ing how to earn 1T.
There were Mir. REID. long managing
editor of the New York Times; MIR. Chan-
beers, long steersman of the Herdid; MI
John Foord. ex-managlng editor OF the
New York Times and of HGrpcT'S HekW
Major George L. Williams, ex-managlng
editor of the New York HTdh and Mr..
Eustace Ballard Smith. then an ex-mhn-
aging editor OF the World ana the Herald.
Such a galaxy of talent could not hold
its place in the journalistic heavens, and
in the very nature Of things fell 10 pieces
bv its own gravity. Mr. Reid and Mr..
Chambers, both men of long experience
and high ability, have now journals OF
their own to control. Mr.. John Foord has
inst been appointed by Governor Flower
secretary TO the Board Of General Mana
GERS of New York's State exhibit az the
Worlds Columbian Exposition. MAJOR
Williams sought O more congenial heid
some time since with another New York
newspaper.
THE NEW JERSEY STRAW.
II seems TO me there is more than local
significance in the result of the recent
election in jersey Citg. Ordinarily Jersey
CITY goes Democratic by large majority
INIT this time Republican mayor is
elected bv over 5000. 1t IS true that 1t Is
a rino-riddeu town, and the people were
getting ready TO revolt against the rule OF
Boss McDermott, who was the Democratic
candidate for mayor, but the real reason
for the revolution seems TO me TO be beyond
that. Governor Albeit and the late Demo
cratic Legislature had much 20 do with IT,
The legislation III the interest Of race-tracf
gamblers of the worst sort, and the oil
legalizing the dangerous coal comblna
tions, with a few other bills against pubic
interest and public decency, had more tc
do with the turning down OF the party II
the chief city of .he State than any purely
local issue. Governor Albeit was elected
bv over Il, 900 majority, and Grover Cleve
land carried the State in 1888 by Owe
:. 900. but do not believe that either o
them could carry the State to-day. Ever
T.. Burd Grub, who was given the Span
ish Mission by President Harrison as con
ISOLATION prize for having been defeated
for Governor two years ago. could proba
blv carry the State now, and there are no
many weaker sisters in the party thai
Grubb. This is not very cheering Demo
cratic news. but It seems TO me 10 honestl.
represent the situation.
