THE REPORTER IN EUROPE.
He Reaped a whirlwind of Abuse for
"Naming Names"


"Naming Names"
The American newspaper thinks 1t
essential to make clear the source of
important statements. An interview
with a nameless statesman whose iden-
THY cannot even be guessed from the
context, is put down in American
newspaper parlance as "a fake" But
TIE opposite method is the method in
the continental countries of Europe.
There II is an objectionable offense to
name your informant. says writer in
the Worlds Work.
This knowledge 1 purchased at rath-
er an ineonvenient price, when | had
been but three months in Berlin as cor
respondent of the American Associated
Press 1t was in the early autumn of
1894. Bismarck's successor in the I'M
safe chair of the imperial chancellor,
General Count Caprivi, had resigned
early In the evening. after a stormy
meeting with the Kaiser. At 10 o'clock
that night Caprivl accorded me an in
terview. He did not request that his
name be withheld. In my ignorance
quoted him In rs cablegram that
night. His talk to me had been brief
but to the point. He had told me of
the causes that had led TO his loss of
favor with the Kaiser and to his re-
tirement.
But 1 had unwittingly violated one
OF the first principles in the code Of
German journalistic ethics And l

That news is bogus-must be bogus,
you know" said the German newspa-
pers and their correspondents. ''for.
don't you see. he has quoted Caprivi"
For years the reputation thus earned
made my work doubly hard. Whenever
I happened into one of the depart
ments, a whisper ran round: That's
the man who names names" l never
quite got over this during my long stag
in Berlin.

would appear that as long as the word

voters of Iowa are expected to be sat

out monopoly there would be no
trusts, or at least no bad ones.

No Need of Protection.

The protectionists, who so fear the
sacred tariff will be revised or that
even reciprocity with Cuba might be-
come an opening wedge to demolish it,
worship their idol for an entirely self
ish purpose. The voters who pay the
tax can afford to take a more liberal
view and should ponder on a fact and
a question propounded by the New
York World:
What Andrew Carnegie does not
know about industrial conditions alike
in Great Britain and the United States
is not worth knowing.
when, therefore, he tells a London
interviewer that British competition
with the United States in manufactures
is impossible, because the very size
of our great Industries enables us to
supply the demands of the world at
prices you british people, cannot
think Of the question that pointedly
presents itself is:
''Do American manufacturers. espe-
cially those of iron and steel, really
need the shelter of so per cent tariff
to enable them to hold their own
against rivals already put out of the
race by natural disadvantages and
superior Industrial organization?"

Over 5000 of the great department
stores of the big cities who do a mail
order business have been receiving the
bulletin issued daily by the free deliv-
cry division of the Postoffice Depart
ment which allowed them to advertise
their goods through the mail carriers.
1t is charged that the rural free deliv-
cry carriers have been allowed to a
certain extent to act as agents of the
department stores, either in canvass
ing or providing the big houses with
the names Fad addresses of rural free
delivery patrons. The local dealers
say this abuse has given the depart
