 Tho city editor Is virtually tho managing ctlitcr of Tho Herald, and in his present place MT. Rcick has demonstrated his own ability and the sOundnCSs of his employers judgment. This judgment, I may remark without any Encouragement of Mir. Ben nett talent us newspaper proprietor, has not always boon as fortunate as it is in the present case. Hero is story which I have often heard and never heard denied. Many years ago MT. Bennett is said to havc met young man named White, who was a very clover bank clerk at that time. Mir. Bennett was pleased with tho young man and made him city editor of The Herald. In all newspaper offices tho city editor assigns the various rCPortcrS every day about noon to look after tho several happenings which arc to bc rNcorVicd in the morrnw's pa per. The political reportcr, for instance, Is sent to interview Mir Platt prrhaps about his latest political vcnturr', the Wall strCrt rrportcr to talk with J. Picrpont Morgan about the bond syndicate, the star descriptive writer to writc the intr'luc
 tion of the Labor day parade and so on.
