After all. the New Year does not seem 30
very different from the old one The exact
difference may be more perceptible later on.

Editor Joseph Pulitzer is reported as anx-
ious to place one more daily newspaper in
the Chicago field. The wisdom of such a
project must submit to the test of time. at
present Mr.. Pulitzer does not command the
valuable services of Col John A. CockeriII,
the gentleman whose able mana cement Of
the New York World raised the hulk of
shipwrecked journal and remodeled it on
the lines of great and, at one
time, popular Democratic newspaper
Mr.. Pulitzer is certainly the possessor
OF true Journalistic instinct In the past he
has exhibited superior tact and sagacity in
selecting experienced newspaper men for
newspaper work. He has not heretofore
fallen into the error of recruiting his editorial
cia philosophers who believe the trading
instinct to be the first requisite in successful
journalism. Late events, however. in New
York newspaper changes indicate that
Mr.. Pulitzer is inclined to fall away
from the principle which made his
st. Louis Post Dispatch and New
York World eminentiy successful ventures
Rumor says that Mr.. Pulitzer has imbibed
the heresy that lowering of the editorial
standard can be more than equalized by Jim
Crow methods and lingo manipulation at
the business counter. This course is upon
the assumption that the intellect of the read
Ing public is dormant. All the financial
genius OF Wall street could never have done
what Horace Greeley did for the Tribune
what Dana has done for the Sun, what Sam
Bowles did for the Springfield Republican,
what Col. John A. Cockerill is today doing
for that brightest, ablest and. at present.,
most popular paper in New York city, the
Morning Advertiser. The Chicago success
of Mr.. Pulitzer's paper will depend upon the
journaiisuc-not the financial-ability OF the
man he places at the head of it. The cashier
and business manager of an Edwin Booth
tragedy combination might essay the role of
the star, but the public would kick vigor-
ously. The same public reads newspapers,
and its comment upon them is invariably
emphatic

THESIS en- HEADS.
The subject may be divided into three
heads-Heads, Featherheads and Lunkheads.
However we will not so divide it, as it
might appear invidious. Most men are
born with heads, some achieve heads-on
New Year s-whiIe our friends the Irish pa
triots of Kilkenny have heads thrust upon
them. Now, there are two ways of getting
ahead in this world One can do it by indus
try, patience and strict attention to the mod
ern principles of adroit speculation. One
can also secure head by attempting to
streak the pale air of New Years day
with red paint. SO we are told. But
it is one thing to get head; quite another to
satisfactorily fill it. Purely disinterested
advice would be something as follows: First
get your head then call on Mr. Vanderbilt
for brains to fill it. Nothing is more dis
couragiag to a true humanitarian with the
good of the people nearest his heart than to
see young man in full possession of a good
head who somehow failed to drop around
when brains were given out. That youth is
playing game of chance with the world in
