LONDON NEWSPAPERS.
Barron's Letter to Times-Herald.
An impression Is entertained by a large
part of the world outside of London that
the Times, the thunderer of exultant
lory days, is the most dominant and most
significant factor of. British Journalism.
This one-time Indisputable fact Is now a
fallacy, nowhere no ilismally recognised,
though nowhere so faithfully cherished,
as in the ancient confines of the Times
ofilco itself. About ull that remains of
the pristine glory of this venerable and
eminently staid journal Is that quality of
stubborn conservatism which keeps It the
organ of that resolute toryipm that has nl
most reached the vanishing point in politico-social
Kiitfnnd. A modern Impetus
Ihal the Times eoulil not cotnprehem! and
would not obey hits borne other publlci
lioiH so milch hcyiitid the lulliienre of the
paper which formerly directed the course
of the. nation that the . vast majority of
the Kngiish world is not conscious of the
existence of the Times. It has declined
from Its supreme position to one of com
parative subordination, and a stupid ad
herence to a policy whlc'.i was authori
tative when men took all their opinions
unreasoiilngly from the morning leader
renders It Incapable of competing with the
proKresslve pre.is, of which the Telegraph
Is the most excellent exa nple. Kveryone
knows of course, that .the crass blunder
Into which the Times was betrayed
throng Its eagerness ta destroy .I'arncll
was the roi k ,unon which its fortune split,
and il has enjoyed no d,:? of prosperity
since. Its subscriptions fill oway at a
prodigious rate, end not all Its oracular
utterances ami- rolemn .repentance has
siiceeiled In relrver i'.ng P.- with grace of
public favor. HadUs editors and pro
prletors possessed "(ht r"nlus of ndptu
tlon. to say nothing of the talent of in
vention, the paper might. In new direc
tions, huve recovered prestige, for the
very tradition of the Institution would
have been Its redemption If properly ad
justed to modern demands. Never ar
canum guarded more sacredly Its mystery
than the Times seeks to hide the secret of
Its circulation, hut the mischievous sprite
of rumor that liaih no respect for pene
tralia declares its circulation to be no
more than UVHW. and adds the perhaps not
remarkable iiifni nialion that no dlvdend
has beeln paid In several years.
When matters were going nt a retro
gressive pace alarming to shareholders
and managers a ways and means confer
ence was sntniiiniied, and, as a most ex
prditlous plan to the recovery of lost
ground, It was suggested that a reduction
In the price of the paper from thre-? pence
(ii cents) to n penny 2 cents) be made. It
was thought advisable to have the opin
ions of others, llemi Labonchcre being one
of them. When he was told of the con
templated reduction he promptly said,
with n dubious elevation of brows: "Hut
you can't dance." Words so seemingly
Irrelevant required explanation, and Lob
by told them the story of a very learned,
very profound, hut heavy wit ted Ger
man writer. Some friends who called
upon him one morning heard a fcrrni
hurly-burly in the adjoining room, and,
looking In apprehensively, they saw the
professor galloping about, vaulting chairs
and leaping sofas, to the imminent peril
of his neck. Asked to explain his ex
traordinary conduct, he responded. "Well,
you oil accuse me of bflnsi a heavy writ
er. :-o I'm try'iie lo riiltlvn'e ligMncns
of h.yle." The Inference u-oiii i!" words

mere waste of revenues. Holding to Ha
accustomed course continuing to be un

coethes scrlhendl, and that small but en
vlous body of people who Imagine that
the Times flung negligently upon the ta
ble confers n literary distinction on the
household this relic of old Lomlnn hr.s
made one very emphatic bid for rejuvenes
cence. When It engaged Mr. Sinalley to
furnish American news for the benefit
of the thoiisaieis of Americans resident
in London it mmle a coup that promised
to be most advantageous. Rut, nlas! for
this reluctant excursion into modern
fields, the Telegraph nt once Increased Its
cable supply from the States, entering
Into such competition that the only su
perior benefit to the Times is in Mr.
Bmalley's greater ability as a correspond
ent. Oriental affairs are. .well cared for
In the Times, Its reports of the proceedings
of parliament nre verbatim (not nvays u
virtue). Its records ot royal doings are
solemnly obsequious, nnd it is the chosen
repository of those austere letter writers
Who. have so excellent a knowledge of
God's motives, Intentions and desires, ami
who think It Incumbent upon them to re
veal to the editor their emotions over the
first violet of the spring or a redlseoverej
epitaph In a country churchyard. So
gangs the Times Its gait ordnined.
For worldly purposes the Telegraph Is
par excellence the newspaper of London
and probably has the largest circulation of
any paper In the world. It Is quite as
scholarly, quite ns wise In Its matter ns
the Times, Is Infinitely more diversified,
anil in most cases delivers its opinions
with finer precision and greater lucidity.
It knows the value of humoii.and makes
liberal use of it, and understands to a
demonstration that a truth la none the
less effective for being ushered In with a
Jest. Though of tory leanings, the Tele
graph Is Independent In Its nlltorTiTl ex
pression, lis titled editor reserving to
himself the right to criticise or applaud
the conduct of either parliamentary party.
Still adhering to the archaic notion that
n "leader" must occupy not less thnn a
column, the Telegraph takes pains that
Its articles shall be agreeable rending, and
it seldom happens that an editorial is not
entertaining enough In style and clever
ness to hold your pleased attention from
the first line to last. The Telegraph,
moreover, differs from the Times In ad
mitting the value of nnmes. The signed
article is a distinctive and popular feature
of this ablest of London newspapers. In
deed, the freedom of the Telegraph from
narrowing prejudices has given it thnt
peculiar position It enjoys wherein It holds
the respect of all clnsses of readers with
out seeming to be the special representa
tive of any one of them. The Times was,
th Telegraph Is, the great paper of Lon
don. The decline of the one and the rise
of the other testify to the excellence of
one policy over the other. The Times has
a circulation of less thRn 30,000; thnt of
the Telegraph Is more than 600.000. There
Isn't much chance for argument there.
