France Must Have an American Editor.

France Must Have an American Editor,
New YORK, April 9.-The retirement Of
Whitelaw Reid from the French Mission
opens the path to diplomatic distinction
for another aspiring republican, for by a
curious coincidence, The gentleman who
is mentioned as the candidate for the hon
ors enjoyed by Mr., Reid, is an editor, and
Tribune editor at that.
Editor Joseph Medill, the owner of the
Chicago Tribune and one of the most po-
tent journalistic forces Of the country. is
the son of an Irish father. He is now &c
years old. His hair is sandy-gray, and
his eyes of keen, Scotch grayish blue
He was born in New Brunswick, N. j..
went to Ohio when years old and was
called to the Bar. AS an editor he tinges
the Tribune with his own strong character
and reads all that it prints. He likes
brief forceful, direct writing and objects
to fowery illusions He was Mayor OF
Chicago for two years after the fire OF
1871. AS a tribute to the memory of his
daughter, who died not long ago in Paris,
Mr.. Joseph Medill intendes to endow a
number of beds in the hospitals of the
French capital for the use of Americans
