Bat that the American Press is improving and is bound to improve cannot I think be doubted by any one who has come in contact, as I have done, with the men who make it. How ever much one may differ from their standpoint or doprecate their methods, it is impossible to deny their quick intelligence and breadth of view or the thorough earnestness and uprightness of purpose by which the conductors of the Press are actuated; while in that which makes a Press greater-in independence and incorrap- or social-the Wibility-financial, political, American can compare on equal terme with the English Frass.

and the three requietos, as quoted to me by very intelligent reporter, are (1) that it shall be good reading; (2) that it shall be connected with some individual or ovent of note; (3) that it shall be probable. Within those buits the field may be all his own. In some way or other's man becomes prominent: he must be made to speak. He is dull and sententions; he must he made interesting. He knows or will say nothing on the subject upon which he is quaationed; must be made to express strongly what would probably be his view if he had any. The next day the man interviewed may wish to deny all he has been made to say. Nothing is easier; the same or another reporter of the same or another paper is at his disposal. He wants perhaps merely to deny the previous interview: he would be a poor journalist who confined himself to that. He is made to express opinione diametrically opposed to these he expressed yesterday; the same paper will publish the two, will make no attempt to reconcile them, no Amapolory, and the public may choose between two versions, whichever it thinks the more probable. As a matter of fact the public reads both, is amused by both, and attaches no value to either.

Hitherto I have been speaking only of the better class of the New York Press; there is another class of which it is difficult to write in language which you would admit is your colamay. It is that yellow Tress the apostle of which boasts openly, and I believe with truth, that it enjoys the largest number of readers. A faithful description of it would bardly be believed in England; it is, I am glad to hope, becoming discredited in America. The yellow journalist would appear to combine the qualities of the area sneak, the blackmailer, and the chucker-out. The beat epitaph upon him may perhaps be quoted from Macaulay jou Bacére-"Whatscover things are false, whatsoever things are dishonest, whatsoever things are unjust, whatsoever things are impure, whatsoever things are hateful, whatsoever things are of evil report, if there be any vice, and if.. thare any infamy, all those things are blended yellow journalism."
