Without referring in any way to the Mercury, whose polley has never con corned us adab, we may say that the aya- tean, adopted by some journals, of attack- ing institutiona or persons whicse support they do not receive, instead of being inde- pendence, is nothing micro nor less than the most disreputable form of journalistio black. mailing. It is astonishing that any intelli- gent community can be weak enough to allow such a system to bavo the briefont existence in ita midat. Such attacks can- not possibly do any harm to those against whuni they are directed. The policy of tho journalistio blaskarailer, soon becoings obvious to the dallest observer. Indeed, wo fancy such a follow a, praico is more injurious than his malice His Jaudations use suspicion, because the honest taon will eajele no blackmailer to obtain his 736 praises. Given, however, a rotten concern or any questionable dealings, and the PASSENGERS Emiring, in Hagkong, or any good offices of the journalistic blackmailer other persons who may desire to con have to be secured, Henes, whenever we ruit the filos of local China, Japan, see a laudatory article in a jmunal of this American, English, Indian or Austra kind, we begin to be somewhat suspicious linn newspapera, are invited to call zi
