ASTOUNDING JOURNALISTIC
ENTERPRISE

This is truly an age of awe-inspiring
advancement. The laws Of the uni
verse are either reversed or suspended;
the hereafter prscedes the before, and
the tomorrow is present while the to-
day fingers yet lovingly in the lap of
time. Things move, and the Times
the Los Angeles Times-moves with
them. That sll this is true, and not
the fancy picture evolved out OF a
brain diseased and demoralized by too
earnest contemplation of the awful
possibilities of that ''tour of triumph"
is shown by the following excerpts
from the columns Of the leading jour
nal Of North Broadway. Under the
caption, The Merchants, the organ of
the First-etreet cut contains the fol-
lowing local:
1.-The Merchants association excursion
TO Phcenix started upon its way at 7:lO
O'Clock yesterday morning. At the very
last moment number of people gave way
to the longing to join the party, tossed off
the cares OF business and set out to have a
royal good time with the Indians, the COW.
boys and the other attractions of the carni-
val. All In all, about sixty people joined
the excursion.

eled was gaily decorated. On the same
train was baggage car. containing the
of the Los Angeles delegation, the famous
chamber of commerce stuffed bear and
liberal supply of all sorts and varieties of
thirst-quenchers. very much appreciated
on such a sweltering hot day.

will leave Phoenix for Prescott. After a
short stay there the Angelenos will turn
their faces toward home"
The accuracy of the foregoing The
HERALD does not desire to question.
Strange, very strange to state, it is sub
stantially correct. TIE HERALD knows
this, for it published the same facts and
more of them itself. AS far as the story
Of the departure of the Los Angeles
delegation to Phoenix is concerned, the
DONORS are practically easy between
TIE HERALD and the journal of fertile
evasiveness. It is in it's telegrsphic
columns that the latter illustrates the
easy and startling facility with which
it can transform time and shuttle days
like cards in cold deck.
In the course of a dispatch pub
lished in the ssms issue, that OF yes
