HERALD'S GROWTH.
a Trihnte from Texas.

From the Houston Post.
The Post extends its heartiest congrat-
ulatlons 70 The Washington Herald upon
the occasion Of It's first anniversary.
which was celebrated In characteristic
form on Tuesday The Herald is the

ing infant IN the journalistic nursery. 1t

teeth, and clamored for solid nourishment
at the outset From that day to this,
The Herald has been a hummer in all
the essentials Of an up-to-date, vigorous.
enterprising. clean, attractive newspaper.
II is true that it has made many errors
common 10 youth. but these we have
from time to time corrected. We have
removed many OF its erroneous impress
sions concerning matters Of historical
moment. For instance, any man who VIII

Andrew Jackson was not born in North
Carolina win be thrown out Likewise.
the geaulneness of the Mecklenburg Dec
laraIion OF Independence Is one of the
stanchest planks ia It's platform Of prin-
ciples. The Herald has also learned much
about Texas, and at the same time for
gotten much about Coosa River catfish.
The religious department OF The Herald
faithfully teaches the sublime truth that
the Garden Of Eden was located in Texas,
and is, therefore, well abreast with the
teachings Of the standard theological in
stitutions Of the next generation.
1t Is rare that staff OF such versatility
has been assembled In any sanctum. The
fine literary tone OF the paper is, OF
course, obtained from Indiana, ite scien-
tiic romancing or nature-faking is Of the
Georgian strain, and its claim TO the
largest circulation in Washington can be
accepted because 1t has a Texas circula-
ton manager. Texas being the finest
truth center In all the world.

contemporary. and all the able men
whose brains and energy make it. thou

wishes for continued progress and sue
cess. II all The Herald's readers have
enjoyed the paper as much as ii has
been enjoyed in this sanctum. .; has
created more solid happiness for its
circulation than any newspaper IN the
world. and fits future career In such
capable hands must be one OF immeasuT-
able usefulness and glory.

influential and Widely Read.

From the Rome (GAl Tribune
The Washington Herald, Of Washing
ton. D. c., celebrated its irst anniversary
on the sth inst. II is a clean, bright. well
edited newspaper, independent In politics,
and believes in treating all parties with
perfect fairness. Few papers in this
country have succeeded in so short time
in becoming such an influential and wide
ly disseminated newspaper as this one. II
is quoted from one end Of the country
TO the other. and has passed almost at a
bound 70 the front, and taken fits place
among the great newspapers Of the ccrn-
try. The people Of Rome are especially
interested in The Herald. because Of the
fact that Mr.. James B. Nevin, a we'll
known Roman. occupies the position of
paragrapher and editorial writer on the
paper. Mr.. Nevin has rapidly gained dis
unct!on since he has been on The Herald
His paragraphs are quoted at least as
much as those OF any other paragrapher
in the country. He stands to-day among
the very few at the top OF the profession.
His editorials are In their peculiar style
almost unapproachsble. and are frequent
~ copied by other papers. Mr.. Nevin was
formerly associate editor Of the Tribune,
and that paper takes a pardonable pride
in his achievements, and will be always
Interested In his success and advancement.

MEN AND THINGS.
The Real Pacific Question.

Ahe heHt Pacfhc Question.
The real Pacific question. according TO
Mr.. sydney Brooks, who writes in Har-
per's Weekly, is not question of naval
or commercial supremacy, but Of the So
cial and economic relations that are to
obtain between the yellow and the white
people. Among the Englsh-speaklng
communities that border the Pacific,
whether they live under the Union Jack
OF under the Stars and Stripes, there ex-
lists deep instructive popular determi-
nation-one Of those irresistible move
ments OF opinion which the highest
statesmanship may succeed in guiding.
but which no s:atesmanship may hope 10
stem-to exclude from their sparsely
settled territories the concentrated mass
es Of China and Japan. It is a determi-
nation ministered TO by the jealousy OF
trades unionism, and by ali the ugly in
stincts Of racial antipathy. But # also
has its better side. The English-speak-
i.g people and the type of civilization,
manners, morals. and beliefs. which they
represent, stand for cause that de-
mands and deserves the last support that
can be given It. There Is no more urgent
need, says Mr.. Brooks. than that the
problems OF Asiatic immigration into
Engiish-speaking countries should be
taken out Of the hands OF mobs and
vested in those OF statesmen.

JUST HELPED THEMSELVES

Alaska has so many republican com mittees and directors-general that 1t cannot be ascertained until the call i, received which one called the ter ritorial convention, but it exhibits a disregard of simple arithmetic which is almost admirable. The assignment of delegates is certainly not based upon the republican vote or the total vote cast at the territorial election a year ago, and representa- ton must therefore have been show eled out according to some notion of the abstract merits of different To- calities.
 Notice these samples: Juneau cast 4IO votes, S7 republican, and gets 10 delegates; Skagway cast 2i2 votes, 10 republican. and gets delegates; NaI- dcz cast 37o votes, 266 republican, and rets 8 delegates; Seward and railroad precincts cast 3g2 votes, l63 republi- can. and gets delegates.
