 People have reason to be glad to see the lying New York World exposed in it's rascality to make money out of fabricated sensational stories, regardless of the in- jury it inflicts. Recently the Sun an- nounced that certain very important dis patches printed in the World and pretend ed to have been received by cable from Europe were made up in the New York office of the world. The Sun offered to pay $1 ,00O to the fresh air fund if the World could show to one of the editors of the Tribune, by satisfactory proofs, that the dispatches referred to had ever been cabled from Europe. Anxious to escape from such an exposure of it's ras- cality, it forged cable blanks to show that the dispatches came by telegraph from Europe, and demanded that the Sun pay over the ,000 as agreed. In the mean time the Sun had Sent from it's office in England two special. messengers to the continent to learn If the purported dis patches were genuine Word came back from each that they were fabrications, the pretended news being utterly false. Finding itself trapped, the World at tempted the desperate game of telegraph ing it's false dispatches abroad in secret, cunning manner, to be returned verbatim, without change of date, so as to be genu- inc foreign cable dispatches, to get the $1 ,000 out of the Sun. But the latter was too sharp, and brought to light the entire tricky scheme, clinching it by giv- ing fac-simile proofs of the dispatches or dering the news to be telegraphed after the exposure.
