RETIRED EDITORS VIEW.

Last month Mr.. Edwin L. Godkin retired
from the editorship of the New York
Evening Post and from active journalism,
after an unbroken career of more than
forty years. He became a worker on ana
a part of the metropolitan press when
Greeley, Raymond and other notables of
Journalism in New York were powers. and
before the elder Bennett had shown the
way to that popular" Journalism which
is now often designated as yellow"
Shortly after his retirement Mr.. Godkin
gave the Evening Post a lengthy article
on his "recolections," covering the period
of his connection with American journal
ism, and Notwithstanding the touch of
pessimism which is apparent now and
again in it, the article is most interesting.
Mr.. Godkin's business, that of a daily
newspaper editor made it necessary for
him to follow closely the evolutions of
politics as well as the careers OF men and
institutions. His conclusions after forty
years of observation-the observation of
an intelligent. educat ted and strong minded
man-are therefore of value. Our politics,
he says, is degenerate. The political
boss is now the power which controls the
votes. The mass of the people is 10
longer moved by speeches of statesmen
or articles in the press. because il mas
grown unwieldly. The election Of a Pres
idoyt every four years by universal suf-
frage by a nation approaching one hun
bred millions of people is not simply
novelty in the history of mans efforts
to govern himself but an experiment of
which no one can foresee the result The
boss system is found practically every
where in the country, and is growing more
powerful every year THE old states
man is defunct and the manager of cleo
tons has taken his place"
Mr.. Godkin thinks mat both the press
and the pulpit have declined in power ana
influence, The press he says, has ceased
TO exert much influence on public opinion.
and the pulpit has become singularly
and sadly demagogc." According to his
observations. men of ability have largely
ceased 90 enter either profession. There
may be objections to this conclusion ON
the part of Mr. Godkin, but who are our
really great editors and preachers of the
present day? And where is the statesman
that measures up TO the stature Of Cal
houn, Webster and jefferson?
