Bulls OF John Bull.

In the making of bulls Ireland has
without doubt attained pre-eminence.
but she has by no means established
monopoly. Indeed John Bull is not
often able TO poke fun at her upon
that score without being promptly re-
minded OF his own achievements in the
same line. A recent newspaper contro-
versy has called forth some fine exam
pies of the purely British bull. of
which two were contributed by men,

Modern Newspapers.

There never was Il more superficial
view taken of any important field of
labor, or falser deductions drawn, than
to say that because new methods con-
troll in journalism the influence of the
press has been weakened, declares Mar
cellus Foster. I'm the Houston Post We
might as we'll say that the influence of
trade and commerce upon the masses
has waned because the universal indi-
vidualism of some years ago has given
way to the great cooperative move
mentS and processes of the present.
Journalism has, indeed, changed in
the past two decades. especially in the
past decade-changed as rapidly us
any other great force or agent of prog
ress has changed. The facilities for
making papers have been so multiplied
and improved that we see now more
elaborate establishments, larger use of
capital back of the paper, Il greater
subdivision of labor more system con-
scquent upon this very expansion. and
last but not least, the substitution OF
corporate for individual proprietorship.
OF collective force for individual opin-
ion.
The great paper of to-day no longer
depends on the individuality or repu-
tation or personal influence of any one
man. The development of modern life
and progress has introduced new forcez
in the newspaper offices just as in the
industrial and commercial world

For actual police duty they are of little

not understand that their usefulness in
