THE NEW LEDGER.

Changes are not always improve
ments, but in complete fulfllment
of its recent promise to give Its
readers and patrons an enlarged,
improved and illustrated daily news
paper" the Public Ledger in the
shape in which it came to us this
week, has only given fresh proof of
its truthfulness and reliability as a
great American journal. And by
the way, this habit of redeeming its
promises to the people, has in the
past inspired public confidence in
the Ledger and helped to make it
great. As George w. Childs has
always met conscientiously his indi-
vidual obligations and promises, just
as conscientiously has the Public
Ledger, his material exponent of
editorial opinion, current news, and
commercial intelligence, redeemed
its pledges to its readers. When he
became identified with the Public
Ledger he promised its patrons a
clean, clear-cut and conservative,
but no less courageous daily news
paper. In pursuance of its recog-
nized policy OF placing accuracy,
fairness and reliability above sensa-
tlonalism and questionable news, it
has long since earned and merited a
special place,-and one distinctly its
own-in the field of American jour
nalism. Frequent comparisons are
made between English and American
newspapers. As purveyors of news,
of personal gossip, of catchy items
intensely personal, accompanied by
smart" editorial comment on public
men and current events, no impartial
reader of ordinary intelligence will
deny the superiority of the average
American daily newspaper. But it
is no less true that, for scholarly
editorial work, we may study with
profit the leading English journals.
Judged by prevailing American
z,2ndards they are heavy and news
IHss. But to cultivated and educated
readers they present features too
generally lacking in our own leading
dailies. The ordinary issues OF
most of the leading London dailies
contain scholarly and able editorials,
on literary and scientific subjects.
From literary standpoint they can
be fairly classed with the best maya
zine matter. In our opinion, the
evolution OF the ideal American
metropolitan newspaper will COM
bine the high editorial character of
the English, with the complete news
features of the American taily.
Along this line of evolution we re-
gard the Public Ledger as working.
1t recognizes the demand OF the day
for popular illustrated or pictorial
newspaper literature, meeting in its
columns the progressive and quick
ened intelligence of our day and
generation. No less do the cultivated
classes who habitually read ii, expect
in its columns temperate and
timely discussion of public questions,
expressed IN scholarly English. As
in the past the Ledger has always
catered to the best public sentiment,
on all questions of either national
or local character, so in the future,
we look to it, to grid up its loins
anew in its march towards the goal
of ideal newspaperdom.

is every reason to expect that the

We hold that the reduction OF

That it will decrease the price of

private manufacturers and CO.

pei our consuming millions to pay

cessities than legitimate trade and

that it is class legislation we hold

that that can do much harm. The
greatest suspicion that attaches to
