' The Morning Star. By WILWABIIII. BERNARD. WILMINGTON, N. C. Saturday Moentng, Sept. 3, 1887 JOC7RNAa.ISiri PASX AND PRESENT. In the Nineteenth Century Heview for August there is a paper by Mr. Arnot Reid, in which he tells some curious things of reporting in the J English newspapers. It seems that a reporter is never expected 1fl gath- er any news or seek out strange ad- ventures or accidents unless they have been previously entered in the Chief Reporter's He says: engagement book. "It is only a few months ago that a Jew ish theatre in London- was the scene of a dreadful loss of life at quite an early hour of the night, and next day not a solitary line about it appeared in any London morn ing newspaper. The manager of the thea tre had omitted to send notice to the re porters that a catastrophe was to happen." Mr. Reid is aware that in this country the thing is done very dif ferently. He says that English jour nals are much more widely influen tial than are American newspapers. He says: "No American journal possesses the power either of the London Timet or of any one of several other metropolitan and provincial journals. I content myself mean time with the mere statement of a fact, the causes of which are manifold and may be gathered from the general tone and charac ter of American journalism." We suppose this to be true. He thinks the New York papers look more "newsy" than the London pa pers, but in reality there is not more news. He says : "In the file of papers that are analyzed for the purposes of this article there is much about a divorce suit, and there again we find portraits, head lines and interviews ; ' it all looks very "newsy," and the com ments are humorous and a little Improper. But we know by experience that when the proceedings of our divorce courts are as- ' sumed to be of public interest there is no , lack of detail. We omit the head lines and the portraits, but we give the counsel's cross-examination without much circum spection. Then at the finish we write a - leader a grave, dignified and moral hom ily, such as a bishop 1 h m. i . 1 1 . - " lather. Tt is onlv a different nf vhT" pu iuiuk jjh oroou ia - j The American papers love sensa nanua I aw a . tion. A New York daily is really a mere record of crime dished up in glaring style and full of nastiness vxbeu. inr. xveia cmnKs tnat sensa tionalism prevails and solid work is lacking. We copy an illustrative passage : "The New YorkaZri and nothing more. Its editorials cannot be . .taken to mean anything. The following mree unes appeared in one of its leaders on March 24th last: '"Why?' C " 'Humph 1' " 'There's the rubr T "Another begins 'The Americana are the best people in the world to meet an " 1 emerirencv.

JiTiln "fact ;the - leading journals combined to defeat anaiaate ana, iauea noi very long aot very long ago.

In fact it was a noble argument a fine oration delivered in -editorial "form. Strange to say Mr. Schurz, in his1 "excellent lif e of . Mr. Clay, .ignores ; altbgeither the great influence of Joseph Gales. He must have been ignorant of the. great influence he wielded for thirty years; In "old times" there were two Vir ginia papers that to a very great ex tent formed political, opinions- m North Carolina. The Richmond JSn gutter, edited by Thomas Ritchie- "Father Ritchie," as he was call- I ed was the great exponent of Democratic thought and principle and policy for three or four States. Its influence was . personal and tre mendous. What Ritchie, said was generally "law and gospel,", and from a Democratic standing-point he was almost always right. Then there was the Richmond Whig, edit ed by John Hampden Pleasants, whom we take to have been the: most eloquent and magnetic of Southern editors. We do not, however writ from a personal knowledge. We know the tradition. He wielded very great power and North Caroli na was as much under the influence of Pleasants and Ritchie as Virginia was. The Charleston Mercury was the oracle for South Carolina, while the Augusta Constitutionalist, edited by James Gardner, was the journal istic force in Georgia. The Mobile Register edited by John Forsyth, was very influential in the South, and, in fact, in the country at large, as was the case with the Richmond papers named. The most influential Whig paper was perhaps the N. Y. Courier and Enquirer, edited by James Watson Webb. The Tribune was a power soon after it started, but at first it was united to a narrow school in the North. There are no papers now that shape public sentiment as did those papers. The telegraph, the multi plication of railroad facilities, the preponderance of the news element, the widening of educational op portunities, the vast increase in the number of journals, all combine to narrow the influence of even the best edited and most conscientious of papers. People are not really as well grounded to-day m underlying principles of party as they used to be. Policy, selfishness, present sue-? ceas are pushed to the front ' aS controlling factors, and those papers are looked upon with some suspicion that determinedly and consistently stick to principle rather than run off. after strange gods, - Worship; in strange temples, and advocate mea sures that " secure gain even ai the loss of principle and safety, j In North Carolina the j 'Raleigh Standard, first under Thonialx)rioft: and afterwards under W.

Is n ot the game worth the candle ?" There is a great atir and animation in the land over railroad construc tion. New lines are being planned and new roads are being constructed rapidly. Th State - of North Caro lina within the next decade will be covered with a net-work of railways. Towns will spring up, and those al ready existing will catch a new! en thusiasm and activity and enterprise that shall make' them .rapidly grow, and flourish. fc What does Wilming ton propose to do?

Mr. O'Ferrall is one of "Virginia's three Democratic Congressmen, and be voles in accordance with the views he expresses. If tbe Roanoke plat form on tbe internal revenue and the tariff had read like this there would have been very little criticism by Democratic newspapers. Washing ton Pott, Dem. Some Republican newspaper perceive that the time has gone by when the discussion of the fiscal pol icy of tbe nation can be put aside by a cry of. "free trade," British gold," "protection to labor,' and the like stupidities. To our esteemed contemporary the Tlmes which can not get out of this old rut, we com mend the. following observations from that able Republican journal the Rochester JPost JSsepress-. "It is mere ' child's play for the Re publican papers to accuse tbe advo cates of tariff revision of trying to wreck the country. Democrats have as much i a teres t m the prosperity of the United States as the Republi cans, and if they do an unwise thing they will have to suffer just the same as their political opponents. There fore, the sooner that the high tariff papers descend from the American bird and discuss these questions on a business and common ssnse basis tbe better for all concerned. As long as they designate the Democracy as "wreckers of business," just so long will conservative people laugh , and say; "That is absurd, for the Dem ocrats, just for the sake of -revising the. tariff, are not going to ruin the country, for that would mean the Tnin " of themselves." In current tariff disc usston let us have more brains and less bunoome, more hard common sense . and less demagog ism." -t.PAiZ. Record, Dem. A JO R A. WJi JtA 1 TL. Philadelphia Record, Dem.
