Disgust and Contempt from ail sides for the
Swlndlise New York woria.
Prom the OIL G,y Derfd.
Il was a bluff OF the very largest magnitude,
and on a scale commensurate with It's regular
line Of braRgadocio, that the Ne,o York World
attempted. In publishing several alleged in
terviews with Bismarck. the x -Chancellor OF
Germany. and schiaparelli. the greatest OF
modern Italian astronomers. But THE Sun
saw through the thick wool Of tho deception
the World was trying to weave. and made an
inglorious exposure Of the trick the World was
palming upon tho public. The thick skinned
monstrosity controlled by Mr.. Pulitzer was
not content. and when The Sun offered to con-
tribute one thousand dollars to the Tribune's
fresh mir fund. provided tho alleged World in.
terviews were genuine. II again resorted to its
well-worn subterfuge OF hun. and tried to do
lude the Tribune into believing that the pub
lished interviews had really taken plnce. and
had been actually forwarded across tho water
ny cable despatch. This time tho lob was
larger than the obedient agents Of Pulitzer
had conceived. and THE Sun. with the usual
thoroughness which ia characteristic OF 1t,
probod the entire matter to the bottom. made
afull exposure OF the plot. and SO thoroughly
excoriated tho World that II it possessed an
infnitesimal sense ofshame. it's bushes should
suhuse multitudinous seas incarnadino"

Prom the Ph.Iu,gh Dispatch.
Dana has Just convicted Pulitzer Of the World
OF tho most fragrant taking known to modern
journalism. Dana's thrust Mt the World is MS
deadly as that he made into the Alger boom
early last spring. When the sun OF the sage
OF Now York Journalism shines. the air Is apt
to get above summer heat and something
melts. He writes caution with vitriol. and his
blasts can either draw forth the tones Of an
f.olian harp or blow over q row OF buildings.
as the case may require.
From ne N.c lork Di,rrtoh.
THE Sun has rendered q valuable service to
honest and legitimate journalism by its com.
plote and conclusive exposure OF the Worlds
fraudulent interviews and bogus cablegrams.
Newspaper men have long known the Quack
methods employed by the World. but this is
the first time they have ever been held up be-
fore the public. Newspaper readers them
selves are vitality interested in honest jour-
nalism. but hardly as much as those who
make newspapers.
Pulitzer's bunco methods have injured Jour-
nalism and wronged newspaper readers in this
city more than can easily be computed. They
reflect upon the honor Of every newspaper
man; they have tended to bring the employ.
ment or calling into disrepute. Every jour
nalist should rejoice to see them exposed.
Nor are the Worlds efforts to cover up its
Shiny tracks marked by any more prudence
than Its fakishness. Its plan to have the bogus
cableGrams sent from tho other side to try to
prove they wore originally genuine was bird
witted. 1t was a subterfuge characteri site Of
those who toy with buzz-saws. and shake
hands with cyclones. Only those who have
been remarkably successful in frauds would
attempt it. 1t proves the old maxim that
fools rush in where angels fear to tread"
Tho entire business Of fake. fraudulent, and
fictitious Pulitzer journalism is so nauseating
and disgusting to the average intelligence
that 1t Is q wonder it has ever been attended
with any success whatever. The sooner hon
est newspapers rise up and expose and de-
nounce 1t. the better.
From the Cin Herald.
THE Sun convicts the World OF manufacture
ing cable specials" beyond possibility Of err
ror. The Worlds pretended cable int erview
with Schiaparelli on Mars. and its pretended
interview with Prince Bismarck. are proved
never to have taken place. and to have been
cabled only when exposure OF its ent
news" service threatened. Then the inter-
view" with Bismarck. printed q month pre-
vious. was cablcd to London and ordered re-
peated to the World. The exposure ~forieits
the New York Worlds right to ask the pub
lies confidence.
From ne Boston Ens.
The evidence. in apparently indisputable
form. Is coming to light. So far as The Sun is
engaged in an attempt to expose corrupt
and fake journalism. it should have the hearty
support OF every newspaper in the country. II
the New York World or any other Of the sem
%sational sheets OF the day manufacture inter-
views and so-called news specials. it and its
followers should be held up to the world as I'M
reliable. denounced as frauds. and condemned
as unworthy. The fakir In journalism must
go. or reliable newspapers will lose the respect
OF the reading public.
From he Baltimore World.
Just now THE Sun is cracking the ribs OF the
Pulitzer windbag. the World. THE Sun seems
to be getting down to hard plain facts. too. and
doesn't hesitate to denounce the World as a
swindler that imposes upon the public by the
publication Of alleged telegraphic and cable
news which had been made up in the World
Office. Apparently The Sun has caught the
World in a nasty piece Of imposition upon the
public. Just how tho World will avoid the
issue remains to be seen.
From the Washington Sentinel.
Every we'll Informed journalist has long
known that the so-called enterprise Of the
New York World In its foreign and domestic
correspondence and reports. was a sham and
a fraud on the public. Many OF the tricks OF
false ~preteEce were from time to time exposed.
but denied with characteristic audacity and
INSCRIPTIONS lying. At last this p~iratical
trickster. that hahitunlly caters to the most de-
PRAYED appetites. has been brought to book
with a damning exposure Of base practices
which dishonor reputable journalism and from
which there is no possible escape consistent
with truth. honor. or common decency. The
pride OF honorable journalism is honest deal
ing with tho public. which the World has dis
graced by it's corrupt and reckless disregard
OF all the recognized principles Of the profess
sion. Money is the only god 1t worships. The
advice OF IaOo to Roderi0o is tho creed that
rules all its actions. and for which family and
friend would be freely sacrificed.
From The Norfolk Landmark.
The New York World seems to have made a
great mistake In not accepting the criticism
Of The SUN in an humble way and endeavor-
ing to profit by 1t without retorting. tits hard
to conceive OF q more terrible calamity to a
self-respecting newspaper than to find itself
