saw Horace Greeley and proposed that he
be given the post OF foreign correspondent
of The Tribune. Patting him on the
shoulder In his affectionate way Greeley
said:
Dana, that's no use. You don't know
anything about European matters. You
would have 20 get your education before
your correspondence was worth your ex-
penses
"Then, said Mr.. Dana, In an interview
not long before his death, 81 asked him
how much he would pay me for letter a
week, and he said $40 I went across and
wrote one letter week for The Tribune
for $40, one TO McMichael's Philadelphia
North American Review for $40, one to
The Commercial Advertiser for $40, and
one TO The Harbinger and The Chronotype
for % week each. That gave me $40 a
week for five letters until The Chronotype
went up, and then had $35. On this I
lived in Europe eight months, went every
where, saw plenty of revolutions, support
ed myself there and my family In New
York and came home only $63 out for the
whole trip"
He returned to The Tribune on salary
of $50 a week. which was acceptable until
another paper offered him 500 week.
He went TO The Tribune people and told
them that he could not afford to stay at
S25 They reminded him that Mr.. Greeley
drew only $50, and it clearly would not do
TO give him more than his chief. But they
gave him $50, the same as Horace had and
that was the highest salary he ever received
there.
Mr.. Dana drew to The Tribune some Of
the ablest writers and thinkers of the
time, and he made the paper the gospel of
the thinking, conservative and cultivated
elements in the community. The elder
Bennett discovered that the young manag-
ing editor of The Tribune had quite as
keen "a nose for news" as he himself pos
sessed and as good judgment of the rela-
tive Importance of news.
Mr.. Dana connection with The Tribune
gave him an intimate acquaintance with
most of the great men of the Republican
party, and when in 1861, owing to a dis
agreement with Horace Greeley respecting
the attitude of The Tribune upon the con-
duct of the war, he retired he was esteemed
as one of the influential younger men of
the party Edwin NJ. Stanton, the secre-
tary of war who knew Mr. Dana well,

offered him the post of assistant secretary
of war, and he undertook these labors with
extraordinary energy. Much of the time
he was with General Grant in the west
His executive capacity was never more SUI
perbly revealed than when, as the repre-
sentative of the war department, he was
engaged in forwarding Grants gigantic
military schemes.
After the war Mr.. Dana might have ac-
oepted several offers to re-enter business
life, but the destinations of journalism
caused him to decline every proposition Of
that sort made to him. A company was
organized to create and publish great
Republican newspaper in Chicago, and
Mr. Dana was offered the editorship, and
small interest in 1t was given to him.
At that time, however Chicago was not
the great metropolitan city that it is to-
day, and Mr.. Dana found difficulties of
various sorts in establishing the paper.
He sold out his interest receiving therefor
some 81 900, and that was the first time in
his life that he found himself possessed Of
any considerable sum of money A friend
advised him to invest IL in house in New
York, which he did, and others of his old
time Republican friends, notably Colonel
Fred A. Conkling, brother Of Roscoe
Conkling, subscribed sum sufficient to
buy for Mr.. Dana the New York Sun,
which was to be published as low priced
Republican newspaper
Mr.. Dana took charge on the 1st OF Jan
uary, 1868, the paper then having about
10000 circulation, and his conspicuous
career began with that issue of the paper
He called about him a competent staff,
and I'm less than two years had in many
respects revolutionized journalistic meth
DDS. He sought for news where other edi-
tors had ignored, and aimed TO have it
presented so that the mere reading would
be interesting and entertaining His idea
was that fact Of itself of no particular
consequence might nevertheless i'm the tell
ing of IL be made as interesting as more
important news. The Sun gained the rep
utation Of being not only the most care
fully edited, but the best written, paper in
New York, and some of the sketches and
reports that have appeared in its columns
have been regarded as equal to the work
of the most famous writers
Under Mr.. Dana's management the pa
per secured at one time as high a circula-
ton as 100, 900 and its Sunday edition even
more than that Mr.. Dana's idea was that
the editorial page in the paper should be
made fully as attractive as the news pages,
and while some of the comments-some of
those fantastic and seemingly ridiculous
editorial articles which have appeared from
time to time upon the editorial page-have

Soon after Mr.. Dana went to Buffalo,
then thriving village, where with rel
alive, he sold goods over the counter. A
short experience was sufficient to satisfy
him that his calling was not in trade.
Books, observation, association with men
who knew much about many things, had
far more fascination for this lad than did
the drudgery of barter or the chink of sill

He became fascinated with the problems
