The Sun has surprised the World In the sys- |
tenstlc operation OF q fake factory This fake |
factory was employed In manufacturing fake
news and palming 1t of Tor authentic intelii-
gence. Tho factory was running on full time
and the output was something prodigious
until The Sun cxposed the Illicit proceeding
aud broke up the ne'arious business.
The World had worked up great scheme to
render its columns bright and attractive ut a
very small cost. 1t was beautiful scheme II
II had only worked. 1t manufactured news to
suit its own ideas. and dshsd 1t up for It's read
ers In the most palatablc style unembar-
rassed by facts and undismayed by tho pros
pect of the enormous expense of cabie toi's
TINT the alleged dispatches were supposed 10
represent. the World was enjoying n huge pic
mic by furnishing intelligence that Its con-
tempornries could not possibly obtain.
Some days ago the World published alleged
despa.c ches. giving what purported to bc intcr-
views with Schiapnrcli and Bismarck THE
Sun charged It with having invented the on.
tire account In its own Office. and at the same
time offered to donate $1,000 to tho Tribune
fresh air fund II 1t failed to furnish proof.
The World insisted that its dispatches wore
genuine. but The SuN has shown that subse-
quent to the exposure they were cabled to
London and recalled back again in order to
manufacture evidence Of their authenticity
There seems to bo but little doubt that tho
World has been engaged in manufacturing
bogus news on large scale FOR some time
past. which 1t has been palming of OH the pub
lie for genuine. or course this practice is
nothing moro nor less than q deliberate fraud
upon the public which deserves the deepest
censure. THE Sun has done we'll in discover
ing 1t and holding the dishonest World up to
tho scorn of n Justly indignant public.
From he Nlnuiuaur,r.
Besides other good work. THE SuN has re-
Gently exposed tho dishonesty OF the pretended
news service OF the Ne,r York World. That
tho World is sensational. mendncious and dis
reputable was we'll known. and that it did not
hesitate to fan the flame OF anarchy for the
sake OF its paper sales became evident late
ly. but it remained for THE Sun to show
that Its news columns were as dshon-
est and untrustworthy as its editorial
page This 1t has done by proving that several
reported interviews with prominent per-
sons in Europe among them Prince Bismarck
and Signor Schiaparelli. tho italian nstrono-
mer. were mere forgeries. concoctcd in this
country. The World wriggled hard 10 get
away from the evidence. but it was made con-
elusive. and the community ought to be the
gamer by tho exposure. since it is possible
there were some people Of good ropute who
still attached somo credit to that journals

The editor of TIE Sun is after the World
with n sharp stick and he has prodded that
journal most numerically Of late. 1t seems
that carly in July the World published what
purported to DO an interview with Bismark.
cabled to the World. The Sun afterward de-
clnred that no such interview was had. and

Fund $1,000 il the statement were not true.
Upon investigation it turns out that the
Worlds alleged despatch was bogus. and when
caught in the trap that paper teleGraphed to
London to have the article telegraphed back
to the World Office in order that the kilograms
might appear genuine.
This is small business-too small for any de-
cent journal to indulge in. 1t stamps the
World rs beneath contempt. That paper urged
the work men to strike and then stabbed them
in the back. Out upon such journalism.

In convicting Joe Pulitzers Ne,c York World
OF manufacturing by wholesale grossly fraud
ulent cable dispatches. The Sun has done
honest journalism In the United States most
notable service. And while those who have
taken observations OF the Worlds taking
methods were not unpreparcd for this crush
ing and conclusive exposure OF downright rns-
cality. how terribly surprising It must have
been to many OF that newspapers con1ding
readers.
From the cinonsburg No'ea
Lastweek TIE Sun in mastery style exposed
the fraudulent methods by which that senss-
tional paper. the Ne,r York World. obtains
much OF its sensational and untruthful matter.
The Sun conclusvely proved that much OF
the Worlds foreign news" purportinG to be
special cablcgrnms.' are written up in the
Worlds office. Good cannot but follow The
Suns exposure Of this fraudulent sheet.

The Sun has been publishing proofs show
ing that the Ncr York World has been manu-
featuring foreign news in its own office. The
Sun makes out n good case. and thereby COM
mands the thanks Of every man who wants to
read reliable news. as vol as tho thanks Of all
