While the solution was being worked out in blood, the great editor was still the man whose daily articles counted for most through all the moods of popular feeling that attended the varying fortunes of the war, and a~fter the war there remained to him the function of discussing the terms to be accorded to the vanquished and the civil status to be given to the lately enfranchised freedman. With the tacit recognition of entire freedom of action for the States that had been in rebellion, which came with the Administration of President Hayes, in 1877, the future of the negro ceased to be a question of National sentiment, and became one subject to local adjustment. The change had come gradually, otherwise the action of Mr. Hayes would have split his party in two, instead of strengthening it. As a matter of fact, President Grant had definitely abandoned the policy of keeping Federal garrisons at Southern State capitals before the end of his term, and so thoroughgoing a Republican as Senator Sherman was in entire accord with the policy adopted by Hayes, if he was not himself its prompter and originator. One of the most notable effects on the newspapers of the closing of an era of highly wrought political sentiment was the increased importance of the news editor and the emergence from comparative obscurity of the city editor. There had been placed in charge of the news department of TIHE TIMES in 1872 a man who made a lasting impression on the methods of New York journalism. Mr. John (2. Reid had the passion for news which is one of the best marked characteristics of the newspaper man of our day, and he displayed an executive ability in devising means for its collection, and a sense of proportion in its presentation, to which a go.od many of our contemporary news editors are strangers. For seventeen years he made some of the news features of THE TIMES the despair and envy of its contemporaries. He was at his best in making the preparations required for the prompt and accurate reporting of the results of a Presidential election, but his annual summaries of harvest possibilities, his handling of the details of some great accident or disaster, and the daily care he exercised in covering the whole field of National news-getting did much to maintain the position of THE TIMES, under changing conditions, as one of the great newspapers of the country. Some of the ablest men who have been connected with the news department Of THE TIMES joined it under Mr. Reid. He was quick to detect ability among the correspondents of the paper in other cities, and hie made it his Sconstant endeavor to strengthen the staff t of THE TIMES by the infusion of men who had in them the promise of distinction.; The very capable W~ashington correspondent of THE TIMES, Mr. E. G. Dunnell, was graduated under Mr. Reid" so was Mr. George F. Spinney, once its vigorous and aggressive correspondent at A4lbany, afterward Mr. Reid's own successor, and for some time the head of the business department of the paper. The work of Mr. Augustin Snow, who had served THE TIMES at Albany under an older regime, acquired new breadth and vigor under Mr. Reid's direction, and the labors of Mr. F. D. Root in connection with the Star Route exposures at Washington were ably seeonded by the co-operation of the head of the news department. While Mr. Reid was news editor he had for his chief assistant Mr. E3. A. Dithmar, who later succeeded Mr. George Edgar Montgommery as dramarie critic, and Mr. Cuthbert Mills, who:', afterward became a writer on financial j; subjects, was night editor. The present Ij news editor of THE TIMES, Mr. Henry i:1 Loewenthal, was city editor for the greater /i part of Mr. Reid's term. Mr. E. A. Bradford also began at that time a course of I~ service which has continued to the present day. TH E ISSUE OF "REFORM. The course of THE TIMES in regard to the squabble over the New York Custom House appointments, which resulted in the resignation of Senators Conkling and Platt in 1881 was characterized by its usual independence of *party control. The rebuke it administered to Vice President Arthur for his share in the struggle at Albany to secure a " vindication " for the aggrieved Senators made a lasting impression on that amiable and well-intentioned but by no means strong-minded man. The crime of Guiteau was held up by THE TIMES as an impressive illustration of the working of the spoils system, and it did not hesitate to place a share of the responsibility for it on the men who had deemed their right to the distribution of the spoils of office to be superior to all considerations of patriotism and Public duty. As events shaped themselves toward the selection of Presidential C-a41ddofttV,ý for 1884, THF TIm;4 strenuously insisted that there should be no trifling with the public demand for reform. Grover Cleveland had been elected Governor of New York in 1882 by an unexampled majority, chiefly because the most shameless political trickery had been employed to bring about the nomination of the very worthy man who was his opponent, and it was plain that the sentiment of the people demanded above all things reform in party methods and reform in the standards applicable to public life. As Mr. Andrew D. White, then President of Cornell University, put the case in a letter to the committee in charge of the memorable Washington's Birthday dinner in Brooklyn in 1884, " Huckstering, trimming, evasion of issues, delay of action, will not build up any party. Every party which has achieved success in the history of the United States has done so by giving voice and effect to some good aspiration of the country. And the real, deep aspiration of this country at this time is not that this or that man shall hold this or that office, but that our Government in all its branches shall be made more and more worthy of the principles on which it is founded. This State has given one lesson to the country on this subject, and it will yet give more. The interests of this Nation and of the Republican Party concur in two parts of one policy: First, to stimulate the demand for reform, to make it coherent, and to shape it. Secondly, to show not by platforms but by works, by holding firmly to reforms already begun, and by pressing forward to n.w reforms, that the Republican Party can meet this demand better than any other." That dinner was the beginning of the movement within the Republican Party to prevent the nomination of Mr. Blaine, and afterward, outside of the party, as an independent adjunct to the Democracy, to defeat his candidacy for President of the United States. 0PP0SITION TO JAMES G. BLAINE. The voters who did not believe Senator Blaine to be a good Republican candidate failed to find that he was identified with any great principle or useful legislation, and found his Congressional record to be chiefly occupied with questions of sectionalism, office holding, and railroad interests. Believing that the war was over, they held that a representative of the "bloody shirt" could not govern a people desiring to be united in the bonds of fair play and good will. They believed, moreover, that the President of the United States should be above suspicion, and that the many charges made against Mr. Blaine had not been cleared away by white-washing or half-finished investigations. They therefore asked those who were about to make the choice of a candidate at the National Convention whether one so vulnerable to attack could be elected in a year when, in so many close States, the result was evidently dependent on the balanceof-power vote. In advance of the convention the independent Republicans disclaimed any desire to force on the party a candidate of their own choosing, and declared their readiness to vote an~d work for any candidate without a stain, whose personal character, record, and surroundings adequately represented the principles of the party. They believed that the Republican Party contained many men--Edrunds or Washburne or Fish, or any one of many others--who could be elected if nominated. Accordingly, they asked delegates to remember that it was of no use for the convention to nominate a candidate whom the people would not elect, and they also begged that Mr. Conkling and Mr. Cameron should not be allowed to dig the grave of the Republican Party. THE CAMPAIGN OF 1884. The nomination on June 6 of the candidate most objectionable to the independent element was felt to be a challenge on the part of the managers of the Republican organization, who were bound to put an end to "reform within the party," by striking a death blow at "reform nonsense." The nomination of Mr. Blaine undoubtedly commanded the enthusiastic support of a great number of Republicans who read only the surface indications of spontaneity at the C'hicago Convention, and were not aware of the manipulation pr'eparatory to and during its meeting. The platform was scarcely less objectionable than the candidates, since, for the first time in its history, the Republican Party dodged on the question of money, and the record of the nominees made the excellent civil service reform plank a piece of pure hypocrisy. No time was lost by those who felt that this challenge must be dccepted, and steps were at once taken in New York to hold a general conference of those who had either determined on or were debating organized opposi-tion to the Republican ticket. It became evident that all through the East there was in the air a feeling of indignant protest which was seeking means to make itself felt, The or FOUNDED 1816.

As no plans were in existence on which a definite opinion might be based touching the possibility of accomplishing such a feat, the architect was directed to have measurements taken and plans prepared for the contemplated work. It was explained by Mr. Post that the main difficulties to be overcome arose from the fact that it was impossible to employ the ordinary systems of supporting walls and floors by timber shores, as the shores would necessarily run through the basements and interfere with the operation of the presses. He recommended the following scheme: That each pier of the old building should be successively strengthened by incorporating it in a new masonry pier of sufficient dimensions to bear its portion of the load of the new structure. and that each pier was to be provided with a new and proper foundation; that a new foundation was to be built for the transverse brick walls existing in the old building, and that the walls themselves were to be strengthened with additional masonry at their side in the lower and upper basements, and that resting on these new strengthening walls there should be placed in the upper stories in contact with the masonry wrought iron columns in pairs, placed against the wall and opposite to each other; that girders parallel to and close against the walls should be run from column to column in each story under the old floor beams; that when completed the load of the floor beams should be transferred to these girders, and that the walls themselves in the upper stories should then be removed, and that the editorial department and the compositors should be provided with temporary quarters on such floors of the old building as might be most convenient. The plan was accepted and Mr. David H. K~ing, Jr., agreed to undertake the entire vLork. It was the most difficult piece of work of which Mr. Post had ever undertaken the direction, and the only work of the kind of which he has any information. The problem to be solved was certainly a novel one. Below the cu.rb were the five Walter presses, the stereotyping plant, a machine shop with eight engines and three boilers. Above that was the mailing room. Over that, on a level with the street, the publication office. On the fourth story were the editorial rooms, 55 feet above the street, and on the sixth story the compos. ing room, '73 feet above the ground level. In these various departments some 300 people were at work. Old buildings had been enlarged, stories reared, wings added, and occupants shifted, but in this case the whole structure was to come down, a brandnew one was to be built, and neither occupants nor machinery were to be disturbed. The way it was done has thus been described: In February the new foundations for the lofty structure which was to be were begun. They were of the most mas sive and substantial character. In some cases the new work fused with the old. When finished came the true preparations for the demolition, which, paradoxically erough, was really a building up. Stories with a hundred occupants were not to be dropped 70 feet down. From the foundation to the roof were placed a whole series of double shorings, with their transverse needlings. These took the place of the outside walls, the interior partition walls, and held every story in place. The old building having been constructed with iron girders, the shoring and needling were to take the places of the old walls. Then from below were brought in iron columns which rested on the new foundations. These columns are stronger than those used in the eievated railroads. This was a difficult task, as holes had to be cut in the floors so as to pass the columns through. When a series of these pillars was in place, then new iron girders were bolted to them ahnd brought in direct contact with the old floors. At one time shoring and needling with iron pillars and iron girders were to-ether holding up all the stories in the building. Bit by bit the old stone facing and the walls were taken away. When outside demolition was complete, then new walls arose. The work was in a measure synchronous, masons and bricklayers on the various fronts keeping exact time with the iron workers inside. As the massive wall were built, the extremities of the iron beams and girders found their natural resting places. While the scaling process had been going on, the various stories above, with their living occupants, were boarded in, and a temporary roof covered the composing rooms. Then the time came when all the stories were held in place by iron columns, girders, and timbers. The wooden supports were there for the necessities of the hour, but the iron was there to stay. Next the apparently delicate process of knocking the props from under began. It had all been so nicely planned, so perfect had been the adjustment, that all there wa~s was substitution. It was not a letdown. Not a floor--and the floors were of arched brick--showed a crack or fissure; not even did a fragment of plaster fall. One by one the various stories were transferred from the wood to the iron, and the lines were always found to be geometrically true. By April, 1889, the new building was handed over to its proprietors by Mr. King, and the edifice finished inside and out to its minutest detail. The achievement was deemed one of the most remarkable in the history of construction, and the result was generally regarded as one of the most beautiful examples of recent architecture. A competent judge said of it while it was being built: " THE NEW YORK TIMES building will be, when completed, the most notable building in the United States--the boldest in design and the most pleasing to the eye--standing out distinctly in its type from all other designs."

A little more than a month less than forty years after the issue of the first number of THE TIMES Mr. George Jones passed away. The story of Mr. Jones's! life is the story of the founding and building up of the newspaper with which he had been all this time more or less closely identified. Of the quality which he brought to the conduct and direction of the policy of THE TIMES after the death of Mr. Raymond, enough has already been said in the course of this history. This much, however, may be added from the testimony borne to his character by the chief editor of THE TIMES the morning after his death: "It may be permitted to those who best understood his purposes and his aspirations to speak of the principles that guided him. His wish was that his newspaper should pay more attention to the worthy than to the unworthy side of human nature; that It should commend itself to right-thinking persons of some seriousness of mind and sobriety of judgment rather than strive to satisfy the desire to know what the Sinful and the frivolous are about. He held his own opinions by virtue of honest convictions, and he respected the convictions of others. No writer of THE TIMES was ever required or asked to urge upon the public views that he did not accept himself. Of the sturdiness with which Mr. Jones maintained in his newspaper the views he privately entertained upon public questions or of the character or the behavior of public men the record of his life bears sufficient testimony. Even when the adoption of a policy for his paper involved pecuniary loss, even when it involved personal danger, the policy he had determined upon was no less faithfully and resolutely pursued." 1i The death of Mr. George Jones in August,,, 1891, transferred the controlling ownership of THE TIMES from the hands of an tndifi vidual to the administration of an estate, 233, 235, 237 & 239 Washington St. Between Park PI. & Barciay St. Estab'ed 1840. and its immediate management passed to Mr. Gilbert E. Jones and Mr. Henry L. Dyer, the son and son-in-law of the late chief owner. The experiment of reducing the price of THE TIMES to 2 cents had not proved entirely satisfactory. Its first effect on circulation realized all the expectations that had been formed of it, but as the years passed the profits of the business showed a tendency to shrink. It was concluded that the reduced price had failed to make TIHE TIMES an effective competitor in a field occupied by still cheaper rivals, while impairing fts income from the circulation, on which it could, without respect to price, always rely. Accordingly, a few months after the death of Mr. Jones, it was resolved to raise the price to 3 cents, and the change was made with the issue of Dec. 1, 1891. THE NEW YORK TIMES PUBLISHING COMPANY. Not many months after the death of Mr. Jones it became known to Mr. Charles R. Miller, the editor of THE TIMES, that the estate would consider an offer for the paper. On his initiative, subscriptions were secured, chiefly among his personal frie~nds, to the capital stock of a new company called THE NEW YORK TIMES Publishing Company, of which he became the President and largest stockholder. The negotiations for the purchase of the property were completed early in April, 1893, and on April 13, the good-will and plant of the newspaper became the property of the new company. The price paid, $1,000,000, was almost solely for the honored name and established reputation of the paper- a fact of great signifcance not easy to oarallel in any other line of business. The building and real estate of the old TIMES Association were at the same time transferred to the Park Company, which had been organized for KITCHEN UTENSILS T~dHAVING THIS~nr G l Trade Mark Are SAFE:A c No POISO is used in the enamel.

Some three years after the organization of THE TIMES Publishing Company, differences arose among the stockholders, and a plan to consolidate another morning paper with THE TIMES was warmly advocated by one party and as earnestly opposed by the other. In view of these divided counsels, the Directors applied to the court for the appointment of a receiver. On May 1, 1896, Mr. Alfred Ely was named as receiver of the property. Plans already well advanced for the reorganization of the company under a committee, of which Mr. Spencer Trask was Chairman, were then pushed to completion, chiefly through the efforts of Mr. Adolph S. Ochs of ','battanooga, and proprietor of The Times of that city. In accordance with this plan THE TIMES Company was organized and incorporated. The new company purchased the newspaper at the public sale held on Aug. 13, 1896, and on Aug. 18 took possession of the property. There were but few changes in the membership of the staff of THE TIMES between the date of Mr. Foord's retirement from the position of chief editor in 1883, and the final reorganization of THE TIMES Publishing Company by Mr. O'chs, in 1896. The editorial staff consisted of Mr. Charles R. Miller, editor-inchief; Mr. Edward Cary, already the oldest of the " writers of brevier "; of Mr. Amos K. Fiske, whose connection with the paper dated from 1878; of Mr. Francis D. Root, who after his distinguished service in the Washington bureau came to the New York office in 1883, and of Mr. Montgomery Schuyler, who about the same time left The World to join THE nMES. No abler body of men had ever been associated in editorial work on any New York newspaper. Mr. Charles de Kay had for several years supervised the literary and art criticism of the paper, and Mr. Barnett Phillips had since 1870 contributed to both these departments, in addition to preparing the selections of current literature for the Sunday edition. Mr. Francis W;. Halsey, the present editor of THE SATURDAY BOOK REVIEW, the weekly literary supplement of THE TIMES, joined the paper in 1880, and after Mr. de Kay's appointment as Consul General of the United States at Berlin took charge of the department of book reviewing. Mr. E. A. Dithmar continued to be the dramatic critic, and Mr. W. J. Henderson, after a considerable experience as reporter and special writer oa the paper, settled down'to the function of musical critic. Mr. George F. Spinney discharged the duties of news editor between the date of Mr. Reid's retirement and Mr. Miller's accession to the proprietary control of THE TIMES, when he took the position of publisher and business manager. After Mr. Norvell's retire-,nent the duties of Wall Street reporter first devolved upon Mr. John Quinlan, then upon Mr. Lawrence S. Kane, and afterward upon Mr. Walter H. Barrett. During the earlier part of the period in question Mr. H. Loewenthal was city editor, with a particularly competent staff of reporters. HAROLD FREDERIC. THE TIMES scored a triumph in the field of news enterprise in having the full text of the Spanish Treaty cabled at an expense of $7,000, from Madrid of the proposed commercial treaty with Spain. In 1885 it sent Mr Frederic into the infected cholera districts of Southern France, and secured the most graphic details of the ravages of the plague and _ae methods adopted for arresting its progress. This latter service was but one of many brilliant contributions made by Mr. Frederic to current history in the columns of THE TIMES. Appointed in 1884 to succeed Mr. Joseph Hatton, who had for several years sent gossipy and entertaining letters to the paper from London, Mr. Frederic brought to the work the intuitions of a trained newspaper man, and, albeit an entire stranger in London, compelled from the start recognition of his ability by all with whom he was thrown into contact. As the years passed Mr. Frederic grew with his surroundings, and, extending his acquaintances, both socially and politically, he strengthened his reputation as a correspondent by his unimpeachable integrity, his spirit of fairness, and his uniform accuracy of statement. He enjoyed the confidence of many men high in the political counsels of the different European naticns, and he acquired a remarkably comprehensive grasp of European politics. Probably no American ever mastered the complex Irish question so thoroughly as,ie did. His relations with the real leaders of thought and action In Ireland were for many years both extensive and confidential. At the time of his death, in 1898, Mr. Frederic's service as London correspondent of THE TIMES had lasted for fourteen years. ESTABLISHED 1S42. FOUNDED IN 1S45. The F. & M.

Address REV. BOOTH (", DAVIS, PH. D., President. The plan of reorganization of THE NEW YORK TIMES PUBLISHING COMPANY was based upon a oontract entered into by the Reorganization Committee with Mr. Adolph S. Ochs, by the terms of which Mr. Ochs was to assume the management and'control of the newspaper, and a certain number of shares of the capital stock of the new company, sufficient in amount when added to the interest he had already acquired by cash purchase to constitute a majority of the entire share capital, were set aside and held in trust for his benefit. The contract provided that when under his management THE TIMES had earned and paid expenses for a period of three years the shares held in trust were to be issued to him, giving him the ownership of a controlling majority of the company's stock. This condition was fulfilled during the three years ending July 1, 1900, less than four years after the reorganization, and the trust shares were issued to Mr. Ochs, after which the Reorganization Committee dissolved. In an editorial article upon the elements of success in the newspaper business printed in its issue of Feb. 11, 1900, THE TIMES said: "A continuously successful newspaper, successful in earning not only money but the public confidence and respect, must be conducted by its owners and owned by its conductors. That is, the men who own it must make it, direct it, shape it, determine its policy, and in general and in detail decide from day to day what sort of paper it is to be. They must be responsible for it in fact and in law. The making of their iewspaper ought to be their chief, if not their exclusive, occupation, so that their fortunes and their standing in the community shall depend upon the skill and ability they exhibit in their business. The foundation principle of successful and respectable journaIism is this: The newspaper must be managed with an eye single to its own interests, and must serve only public ends. Used as an instrument of any private design or ambition not tributary to its own prosperity it suffers in character and in value. It suffers if it be employed to exploit a fad, to grasp a nomination, or to help a speculation. To the man who is born to be a journalist the success and good name of his journal are higher than all of these things." The condition here described is the condition of THE NEW YORK TIMES. It is edited, published, made, owned, and controlled under Its own roof-" conducted by its owners and owned by its conductors." More than three-quarters of its entire capital stock is owned by its publisher, Mr. Adolph S. Ochs, and its editor, Mr. Charles R. Miller. THE TIMES OF TO-DAY. In announcing the organization of THE NEW YORK TIMES Company and its assumption of the ownership of the newspaper, the following editorial announcement was made in THE TIMES of Wednesday, Aug. 19, 1896: " The New York Times Publishing Company, proprietor of THE NEW 'YORK TIMES, has been reorganized. The new organization assumes the ownership to-day. Mr. Adolph S. Ochs of Chattanooga, Tenn., in the interest of the new owners, becomes the publisher and general manager. Mr. Charles R. Miller will continue to be the editor. " New York, Aug. 18, 1896. " To undertake the management of THE I\EW YORK TIMES, with its great history for right-doing, and to attempt to keep bright the lustre which Henry j. Raymond and George Jones have given it is an extraordinary task. IBut it a sincere cesire to conduct a high-standard newspaper, clean, dignified, and trustworthy, requires honesty, watchfulness, earnestness, industry, and practical knowledge applied with common sense, I entertain the hope that I can succeed in maintaining the high estimate that thoughtful, pure-minded people have ever had of THE NEW YORK TIMES. " It will be my earnest aim that THE NEW YORK TIMES give the news, all the news, In concise and attractive form, in language that is parliamentary in good society, and give it as early if not earlier tian it can be learned through any other reliable medium; to give the news impartially, without fear or favor, regardless of party, sect, or interest Involved; to make of the columns of THE NEW YORK TIMES a forum for the consideration of all questions of public importance, and to that end to invite intelligent discussion from all shades of opinion. " There will be no radical changes in the personnel of the present efficient staff. Mr. Charles R. Miller, who has so ably for many years presided over the editorial page, will continue to be the editor; nor will there be a departure from the general tone and character and policies pursued with relation to public questions that have distinguished THE NEW YORK TIMES as a non-partisan newspaper--unless it be, if possible, to intensify its devotion to the cause of sound money and tariff reform, opposition to wastefulness and peculation in administering public affairs, and in its advocacy of the lowest tax consistent with good a'overnment, and no more government tha is absolutely necessary to protect society, maintain individual and vested rights, and assure the free exercise of a sound conscience.

THE STRENGTH OF ' THE NEW IORK TIMES. One source of the marked strength of THE TIMES is its entire independence of ii outside influence, political or other. Convincing proof of this was given early in the period of its present management, when the advertising of the official canvass, to the amount of $33,600, was de-! clined on the ground that the expenditure was grossly wasteful. As a direct consei quence of this practical protest of THE TIMES a change was made in the method of publishing the canvass which saved the city about $150,000.; The solid basis of the independence of THE TIMES was further made plain to the public by the announcement that the control of the property was owned and securely held by those directly engaged in i conducting its affairs. Another effective element in its strength is the fact that a daily council is held of the publisher, the business manager, and the editors, before which are brought for discussion not only matters for current editorial treatment, but the business interests and policy of the paper. Thus each of those engaged in the work of the paper has the advantage of general suggestion and co-: operation. Another of the most marked and most popular of the characteristics of THE TIMES has been, and is, the strict impartiality with which its news is treated. All expression or indication of opinion or preference in disputed matters is excluded from its nrews columns, and is reserved solely for the editorial page. An carne:-t effort is made to, give perfect fairness to each party in any pending political contest. This has been so successful that in the heated city canvass of 1897, though THE TIMES vigorously supported the candidate of the Citizens' Union, it received from the chief mailagers of Tammany and of the Republican Party unsolicited testimony to the fairness and fullness with which their me, tings and other proceedings had been reported in Tin.E TIMES, and assurance of grateful appreciation of that fact. A like feeling was expressed by the Bryan managers in 1896 and in 1900. From a purely business point of view, this policy, which must attract readers from all parties, justifies itself.! When the present management of THE TIMES began, the excesses of some of the New York newspapers in the way of "sensations," wanton Invasions of private life, ji and trivialities, had, b35 dint of competltion, become greater than they had ever i been before or ever have become since. In order to mark its distinct protest against these tendencies, THE TIMES, on Oct. 25, 1896, announced as its motto: "All the News That's Fit to Print." This motto was displayed each night in letters of electric light on a broad wall facing the thronged area of Madison Square, and was also borne, as it is to-day on the front page of the paper. It instantly attracted wide attention. Some friendly critics, admitting its puvgency and aptness, questioned its conformity to the strict rules of grammar. The managers of the paper recalled an anecdote of Mr. Lincoln, when Mr. Seward wished to polish a dispatch to the British Government. " Seward," the President is reported to have said, " you think Russell will understand it as it is? " " Yes." " And The London Times? " " Yes." " And," pointing to the coachman waiting outside, " even Jim, there?." ".Certainly." " Then let her go." Every one caught the homely phrase, and it was soon closely and lastingly linked with the name and character of the paper. Inside the office it was never absent from the minds of all engaged on the work of the paper. It was a silent but constant monitor. Among the readers of THE TIMES it enlisted a mighty host of vigilant and interested censors, who never failed to give warning of the slightest departure form the simple but nigh standard adopted. It is not too much to say that its influence was felt throughout the entire press of the country; mottoes began to appear in all quarters, most of them inspired by the sentiment of that of THE TIMES. As a test of the adequacy of its motto THE TIMES offered a prize for the presentation of a better one, and Mr. Richard Watson Gilder, the accomplished editor of The Century Magazine, was asked to pass judg. ment on the 150 submitted out of many times that number offered at the office. He reported that he had not found any that would " more aptly express the distinguishing characteristics of THE NEW YORK TIMES." The motto remains. The success that followed THE TIMES'S efforts to live up to it induced reflection and moderation on the part of journalists who had come to believe that disreputable or trivial journalism was the only paying kind. The whole American press, it seems safe to say, is decenter and more serious than it was in 1896. SIXTY YEA RS A HOUSEHOLD NECESSI1Y!'

" The price of THE TIMES is reduced from i three cents a copy to one cent throughout the City of New York, beginning with the issue of this morning. Outside the city the price will remain at three cents, and no change will be made in the price of THE SUNDAY TIMES, which will, as heretofore, be sold at five cents within and without the city. The monthly, half-yearly, and yearly subscription price of the paper to out-ofStown subscribers remains unaltered. " It is the price of the paper, not its character, that is changed. In appealing to a i larger audience THE TIMES by no means proposes to offend the taste or forfeit the confidence at the audience it now has, all ready large, discriminating and precious to it as lifelong friends. That statement we make in full sincerity and firm resolution. We wish to make it with all possible emphasts, so that no reader of THE TIMES in the past need scan the columns of this morning's issue or of any subsequent issue with the least misgiving or -apprehension lest the reduction in price may be concurrent with a lowering of tone and quality. The old readers of THE TIMES and the new shall find it a clean, truthful, carefully edited newspaper at one cent, a paper that recognizes its obligation to give its readers all the news, but values its own good name and their respect too highly to put before them the untrue or the unclean, or to affront their intelligence and their good taste with freaks of typographical display or reckless sensationalism. " The reasons and the reasoning that have led the management of THE TIMES to take this business step it may not be out of place to state. " During the past two years THE TIMES has made a large advance in circulation. The gain in sales during the past business year of the paper, ending on Sept. 1, was substantial and gratifying. From week to week, without interruption up to this very day, the increase has continued, and there was every reason to expect in the future, even without any reduction in price, a steady augmentation in the number of readers of THE TIMES. This sure and constant growth of its audience has been a convincing assurance that in its policy and its quality the paper was acceptable; that it was the kind of paper a large part of the American peope 1._like to read. As to that, the manage ment of THE TIMES has not been left in doubt or dependent on conjecture. New and old readers of the paper have not only showed that they liked THE TIMES by reading it every day, but they have taken pains to say that they liked it. The words of praise and commendation which THE TIMES has of late received from its readers and the public are without precedent in the history of the paper for their frequency and heartiness. " No paper, however, ever increases in circulation fast enough to satisfy its conductors. It has seemed to the management of THE TIMES that, while the growth of its sales was steady and substantial, it was too slow; that while its circulation has reached a large figure for a newspaper of its character, it ought to be larger. Everybody appeared to praise THE TIMES, and what everybody praises pretty much everybody ought to have and enjoy. Why not? This reasoning led almost inevitably to the conclusion that the high price of THE TIMES was an obstacle to its rapid increase in circulation. Three cents a day is very little, but the monthly bill of the newsman for a three-cent paper is visibly and substantially larger than the bill for a one-cent paper. Beyond doubt price makes a difference to a vast number of persons, even if the sum involved be small. "The proposition that many thousands of persons in this city of three and one-half million souls buy and read one-cent newspapers chiefly on account of their price and not on account of their character or quality seemed sound. We believe these thousands would like to buy and read a newspaper of the character and quality of THE TIMES in preference to, or, let us generously suppose, in conjunction with, the papers they have been reading. The number of persons in the city, young and old, who are educated, intelligent, refined, and who by reason of their education, refinement, and intelligence would prefer to read a newspaper not given over to vulgarity and madhouse methods, must be very great. These men and women eschew vulgar companionships and abhor unclean associations. Why should not their newspaper reading be on the same plane as their daily conduct and conversation? " THE TIMES has determined to extend its appeal beyond those readers with whom quality is indispensable and price a matter of no consequence to the presumably much larger number of persons to whom both price and quality are of consequence. By reducing its price to one cent THE TIMES removes every obstacle suggested by economy or necessity. It puts before the people of New York a clean newspaper of high and honorable aims, which prints all the ziews that is fit to print, and expresses its editorial opinions with sincere conviction and independence. It offers a high-class newspaper at the lowest price. " TiHi TIMES expects by this step to bring Incorporated 1846. ELEVATORS. High-Class Passenger and Freight Lifts of All Kinds.

THE NEW YORK TIMES JUBILEE SUPPLEMENT. 25 within its circle of readers a host of men and women who are not at present acquainted with it. aWe expect them to become its friends. We think many readers of other newspapers, finding that THE TIMES costs but one cent, will add it to their daily purchases or orders. We hope to gain their lasting esteem and confidence. Making this reduction in price in the midst of an important political campaign, THE. TIMES has an opportunity to make known to new readers the candor and fairness of its editorial discussions and the fullness and impartiality of its news reports. Receiving the full Associated Press service and having special correspondents at all important centres, news reports of THE TIMES are full and comprehensive. "Should the results of the step we are now taking, after a fair trial, prove unsatisfactory, we should not hesitate to re-establish the price of THE TIMES. But the price from this day is one cent a copy. The new friends who shall come to it at that price wi 1 not be disappointed if they seek a paper made with care and conscience, full of news and of interest, and free from matter of misleading and defilement." This announcement took the community by surprise. The newspaper publishers especially were startled and puzzled. Predictions of disaster were general. Friends were apprehensive. The unfriendly charged all sorts of bad motives. The paper had " sold out to Tammany." It was " relying on subsidies." In the single instance where this suspicion was expressed by a respectable journal a retraction was promptly requested and as promptly accorded. Undoubtedly the step taken was a radical departure from all known newspaper conventions and convictions in this city at the time. But it was made for sound business reasons, deliberately, and, as the result proved, wisely. Its success was immediate and substantial. In a very short time the only problem which the conductors of THE TIMES had to face was the difficulty of enlarging their press facilities with sufficient rapidity to supply the greatly increased demand for the paper in the City of New York and its suburbs. It was for the purpose of doing justice to the city circulation proper that the reduction of the price of THE TIMES to out-of-town readers was deferred till additional press facilities could be obtained. A week after the price had been fixed at one cent, however, in Greater New York, and three cents outside of Greater New York, the announcement was made that so great a pressure had been brought to bear by out-of-town readers that it had been determined to defer to them at once by reducing the price of copies out-of-town to two cents, according to the practice of the other one-cent New York newspapers. Through the courtesy of neighbors THE TIMES had suc ceeded in obtaining temporary facilities enabling it to meet the increased demands of its circulation until permanent arrangements could be made. The first number of the illustrated magazine supplement of THE TIMES was issued on Sunday, Sept. 6, 1896, the last on Sept. 3, 1900. The purpose of the enterprise was to popularize the Sunday edition by giving a supplement which, both in text and illustrations, should carry out the motto of ths paper and which should be superior to its comretitors in the artistic quality of its work. This purpose was attained. The su-plement was carefully printed on good paper, and far surpassed anything that had been done in the way,, of newspaper illustration. Some of its numbers remain very interesting pictorial records of memorable objects and events, such as that devote,! to the Congressional Library. But its mnost sign.al success was the illustration from inslantaneous photographs, in the number of July 4, 1897, of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, which had been celebrated June 22, This contained sixteen pages of excellent and interesting pictures, hurried forward from London by arrangement with the photographers, and distancing all American competition, not only in time, but in merit and interest. It may be of interest to note that this undertaking cost THE TIMES $5,000. The photographer in London who had the exclusive right to take pictures at St. Paul's received ~5 each for fifty photographs. But on Sept. 3, 1899, the price of the Sunday issue was reduced from 5 cents to 3 cents, and the illustrated magazine supplement, which for three years had9been a feature of the Sunday edition, was discontinued. The discontinuance was regretted by many readers and resented by some. But the publication,of the magazine supplement had attracted many imitators, had served its purpose, and it seemed to the conductors of THE TIMES that the collection and printing of news, with such editorial treatment as the news may demand or permit, is a calling worthy to engage all the ability and energy which they possess. Moreover, the state of the art did not at that time permit the printing of photographic half-tone illustrations with the speed and in the quantities demanded by a daily newspaper of large circulation. In reducing the price of the Sunday edition to three cents THE TIMES merely followed the policy adopted on Oct. 10, 1898 -" a fortunate precedent by which the circulation, the influence, and the profits of THE TIMES have been most satisfactorily enlarged."

After an experience of ifli,,. _;--...._ The Ne1W York TiMnes Saturday Book ReVievw. On Oct. 10, 189G, appeared the first number of THE -TIMES SATURDAY REVIEW. It was, in fact, an unpretentious beginning, four pages of the regular issue filled with news and reviews and comments upon " books and art," folded so as to make eight pages, and printed with a special title. The advertising publishers were,:o distrustful of it that they declined to allow their advertisements to go into the supplement, preferring the regular sheet of the same issue. But all that was soon changed. It was seen that the supplement " met a long-felt want," and its growth was astonishingly rapid. It was not long before the advertisers reversed their opinions of its availableness for their purpose. It was separately sent to those subscribers who desired it, although still issued as a supplement to THE SATURDAY TIMES. Its size has increased until the Christmas number of 1900 contained fifty-six pages, required by the pressure of news and advertisements, and its circulation, until it is now undoubtedly the most popular periodical in the world devoted to literature. One element in its remarkable popularity is the fact that it is, far more than any like publication, a literary newspaper. It seeks to keep its readers informed, from week to week, as to all that is worth being known in the world of books. It numbers among its contributors many writers of high repute in their several fields. While it seeks to advance the standard of literary judgment in the United States, a constant effort is made to keel) its criticisms free from wanton harshness. In general it devotes more pains to encouraging that which is good than to dissecting and denouncing that which is not. Of its character and influence Harper's AWeekly recently spoke in the following generous terms: Not only has the Saturday supplement u; THE TIMES become a serious and worthy factor in journalism, but all proprietors of other newspapers, whose wisdom is greater than their vanity, have emulated the example. Every daily journal in New York, and nearly every one in the country, now has a well-conducted literary department. Imagine, if you can, the extent of the uplifting influence thus wrought upon the minds of millions who require a constant whetting of the intellectual appetite for the acquirement of knowledge. PARIS EXPOSITION EDITION. No recent newspaper enterprise has attracted more attention abroad than the arrangements made by THE TIMES for issuing a daily edition at the Paris Exposition of 1900. The body of this edition was made uD partly by the aid of matrices of *certain pages of the daily sent from New York, but consisted mainly of cable dispatches of unprecedented copiousness, sent from New York; of other dispatches from the chief European capitals, and of news of Paris and the Exposition collected by a local staff specially organized for that purpose. The Exposition edition was a great success and accomplished even more than was thought possible when it was undertaken. George W. Ochs, brother of the publisher of THE TIMES, who was its executive head, triumphed over difficulties by which most men would have been discouraged. For example, it was found that the stereotyping room could not be located less than.300 feet away from the press, on the ground that it might produce bad odors, which would interfere with the comfort of visitors who had come to watch the " octuple " in action. Then the Exposition management refused to allow any editorial work to be done on the grounds, lest the show might assume a commercial and business aspect. As a result, the|nearest offices available were fully a mile away from the printing plant. No mailing could be done on the grounds, hence a booth had to be found, just outside, where the paper could be folded and tied up, two miles away from the Post Office. The nearest available telegraph office was three miles away. W\hen everything was ready to begin publication there was no power, and there was a dreary wait of over a month for sufficient current to turn the motors. But Mr. Ochs and his associates, of whom thel chief were Mr. Frank Marshall AWhite, the managing editor; Mr. iEdward In ley, the associate managing editor, and Mr. A. 1.

In the canvass of 1900), of which it never had any doubt as to the result, it supported McKinley and Roosevelt. THE W~AR W/TITH SPAIN. Long before the declaration of war with Spain THE TIMES had taken the position that the conflict was inevitable, and that the 'United States, in the interest of its ownl safety and for the protection of its own material welfare, must interfere to put anl end to the tragical farce of Spanish misrule in Cuba. It had emphatically approved of the notice served on Spain by President Cleveland that there must be a term to the forbearance of the ULJnited States, if the chaotic condition of affairs on the island was to continue, and it earnestly ~sup-- ported the position taken by Mr. Mc~inley in his message of 4897'i that, failingg the attainment of a righteous peace, just alike to the Cubans and to Spain, as well as equitable to all our interests, so intimately involved in the welfare of Cuba, the exigency of further and other action by the United States would remain to be taken. In the controv-ersie~s which have arisen over the results of the war THE TIMES has taken the ground that our new possessions must be accepted as the accompaniments of victory, and as part of its responsibilities. The academic discussion of the desirability of' expansion seemed to THE TIMES to be unprof-itable, after the~ country had, in pursuit of a clearly marked line of National duty, actually expanded. The policy of President -McE~inley and Secretary Hay in regard to affairs in China has met with the energetic support and ap~proval of THE TIMES. THE TIMES continues to be, as it has bceii for more than a quarter of a century~, a strong advocate of that reform of the civil service which would fill the places~ of public employment by practical te~.-;ts of merit and fitness, instead of offel.,ia.- themn as the "spoils of the enemy"' to thtf,.i,ýLor In partisan conflicts. Its in~fluence e(,ntributed substantially to the passrlage of the Civ~il Service law in 1883, and to tne embodiment of the merit systeml in thee Constitution of the State of New Y 3ork in 18941, and to subsequent legislationi. True to its principle of coniscientiousj iud~epend-- ence, it has criticised or comm(.nded e achi Administration in turn for failure or fid;?11 -ty in observing the requirements of thee law and the various party pledges. In the work of municipal reform with which It hias prosperous, has profoundly influenced the practice of journalism in the United States. The adoption and display of its motto, "'All the News That's.Fit to Print," engendered throughout this community and in remoter parts of the country a spirit of protest against the indecencies and reckless sensationalism of the yellow journals which they were compelled to heed. Their tone has visibly changed, and if they still sin woefully against the canons of good taste and propriety they do not maintain their defiant attitude toward decency. No censor of newspaper writing, no matter with what vigilance he performed his duty, could so effectually purge a public journal of peccant and offending stuff as the motto which THE TIMES carries at the head of its first page. Every writer for its columns has that precept in mind and is unconsciously but imperatively guided by its command. From copy prepared for THE TIMES the unfit is not stricken outit is not written, it is not there; and its corps of writers gain a higher respect for their newspaper in learning that service in its office is not incompatible with their -self-respect. No maxim of newspaper policy tends more strongly to promote loyalty and devotion among those who make it. The appeal of THE TIMES to the intelligent and self-respecting has met with a generous appreciation and reward. And it was its demonstration of the fact that without sensational methods, startling headlines, and a confluent eruption of bad pictures a newsp,-per can attain to a large circulation and do business at a profit that opened the eyes and arrested the downward career of many newspaper Tnroprietors the country over. Crime. both public and private., THE TIMIES eXnOqes, and makres odious. It -was the first newspaper to publish the facts about the Ice Trust and the financial interest therein of members of the Tammany govEtrnment of this city. It denounced the corruption thus disclosed, but felt that it was no part of its public duty to beg-in suits in its owni name or by procurement against those it had uncovered. Procedures of that nature are outside the legitimate province of journalism. The true function of the newspaper is to arouse p~ublic opinion and by that means set in motion the authorized machinery of public justice. So in its publication of the list of poolrooms where the law was violated every day with the full knowledge of the police, THE TIMES gave to the Grand Jury and the prosecuting officer of the county information which made a criminal procedure possible, but its own r~eporters, not hired detectives, did the work. The relation of THE TIMES to its readers is one of mutual respect and confidence.. Of this there is no better evidence than the multitude of letters to the editor which it, publishes. Its readers know that if they have anything to say that is worth p>rinting, even if it: is altogether at variance with the opinions of THE TIMES itself, or is a criticism of its course, they can get a hearing in its columns. It has repeatedly printed side by side letters condemning and letters approving its course. N~o candid reader of THE TIMES doubts that its aim is to promote the public welfare, that its point of view is not that of private interest, but of the well-being of the community, the State, and the Nation, and these ends it seeks; to serve disinterestedly, with sincerity, to the best of its ability andl intelligence. To the optimistic and cheerful the existence, large circulation, and prosperity of a newspaper of these aims may appear as an indication that sanity, sobriety, and open-mindedness have not departed from the people who read it and give it their support. Early Days of Tho TIMMs By Ben C. Truman. My recollections of THE TIMES begin w;.th its earliest history and extend pretty -%%ell down to the death of Mr. Raymond. AN'hen the paper started it had forty compositors. Monroe F. Gale was foreman of the composing room from the start; _\Villiam Garland was night foreman during the fifties; Tom Walsh, a brother of Alike 117alsh, the Congressman, gave out copy, and Jee Houghton and Gove Thompson were proof takers. There were f our proof readers. THE TIMES printers were -g~enerally frcm New England (about one-half); a qil.-:rter more were from Albany, Syracuse, owned or even borrowed an umbrella. MLIst of them wore silk hats or caps-the latter always in stormy weather. Nearly all the printers and pressmen of THE TIMES from 1851~ to 18591 were members of the New York Volunteer Fire Department, principrally with "Big Six," of which Tweed was for a long time foremaD. "21." on Wl~orth, (thlen Anthony,) Street, near Broadway; " 40," on C'rosby Street; "135," near where is now the end of the Brooklyn Bridge. It wvas a printer on THE TIMES (Billy Stan~ley) who discovered the fire in the City Iiall after the illumination in honor of the lai-.ding of the first Atlantic cable, and the alarm went from THE TIMES office. All the compositors and pressmen turned out and helped to extinguish the fire; tl-, building was saýý,ed, although the loss~ reached over $80,000.. THE; TIMES was the first newspaper in the country to use " display headings," which were suggested by Mr. Raymond in 1855(;. It, was also the first paper to introduce " sub-headings," of which Tt~m WTalsh was the originator in 1.857i or 1858X. Many of the compositors on THE TIMES between 1851l and 186t0 were members of the N~ational Guard; two were members of theeSeventh Regiment, four of the Seventy-first, and six; of the Sixty-ninth. Then there were three members of the Gouverneur Blues, a crack independent company on the east side. All of these regiments went to the front in 1861 in response to President's Lincoln's call in April, for 75,000)( three-months troop~s. During the civil war THE TIMES rose,tiblimely to the occasion. It frowned upon secession from the first, and when the echoes of the firing upon Suimter reached the North, THE TIMES sounded the tocsini with no uncertain clangor, and gave the Government.more unequivocal and un BROWNING, KING (a C009 Fifteen--CLOTHIERS OU OTFITTERS.- Stores COOPERI CEDAR 1901. 18510 SQUAREI IIIIAt~" STREET MANVIFAC.TVRERS and RETAILERS, Cooper Square West.

TH~E NLEW YORK TIMES JUBI LEE SUPPLEMENT. 29 asy Gleaql NOWls. From The Ný!wspaper M~aker, Feb. 2L1, 1901. THE NEW YORK TIMES has made the important and significant announcement that on six days of the week it leads all other newspapers, except The W7orld and journal, in volume of circulation in New York City, and that it leads all, without exception, in advertising, even if the page that John WVanamaker inserts in THE TIMES daily is excluded from THE TIMES'S total. This advertising supremacy becomes more interesting when it is stated that THE NEW YORK TIMES excludes from its columns many advertisers, notably the leading patent medicine advertisers. It prints a larger quantity and a greater variety of news matter than any other New York newspaper and makes a profit as a onecent paper. The success of THE NEW YORK TIMES has astonished and pleased those publishers who feared the " yellow peril." It has demolished the popular superstition that the people's taste for newspaper literature had become so degraded that sensationalism was the life and profit of a daily newspaper. Publishers who claimed to expert knowledge boldly declared that a newspaper conducted on the same lines as THE TIMES could not prosper on a one-cent basis. They now concede their mistake and declare that it has taught them a lesson. In this declaration, also, they are mistaken, as THE NEW YORK TIMEs has only reminded them of that which they hadl forgotten. It has shown them that a newspaper fit for the home is the best sort ot a newspaper, and that the best advertisement of any publication is the appearance of those who read it..How has this remarkable lead been obtained? What is the royal road which THE TIMES has traveled? What are its methods'e' The answer is found in the motto: "'All the News That's Fit to Print." it has modestly attempted to reflect, not to make public opinion. It has aimed to be a complete daily newspaper, edited for the self-respecting man, his wife, son, and daughter. It does not print. pictures, neither does it indulge in freak typography. It has avoided sensationalism and takes of every description. It has not attempted to do stunts in the name of public service. It has cultivated impartiality and independence. It does not print any advertisement in the ordinary news type of the paper, and it prints " readers " in agat~e type only, with ''Adv." after them. Its index expurgatorious in advertising includes:: Wiord contests. Prize puzzles. Immoral books. Diseases of men. Female pills. Fortune Tellers. Clairvoyants. Palmists. Mlassage. Otfers of large salaries. Offers of something for nothing. York. It gives a quantity of quality. It avoids all acrimonious and unneighborly methods, a fact which is conspicuously noted in its recent publication of a comparative statement of advertising for the months of December, 1900, and January, 1901, wherein it omitted the names of all other newspapers. The statement was as follows:: Agate lines. 1st--THE NEw YORK TimEs........... 71.4,257, 2d N. Y. morning paper in number lines. 648i,442;;d 619, 1155 4th 48,,, t2,051 5th 396,0391~ Yi,0,' 6ith 343,, r 4,434 7th 300,313,~O,;I; The reduction in price of THE TIMES from 3 cents to 1 cent on October 10, 189O8, was attended not only by an extraordinary advance in sales, but by an improvement in the quality of news. THE TiMEs has avoided free distributions, prizes, and souvenirs of every sort, relying upon the merit of the paper to carry it into the homes and to keep it there. On the best authority it is said THE TIMES could, if it would, make a statement of circulation guaranteeing over 100,000C copies per day. One indication of the stability of its demand is the refusal of THE TIMES to take back unsold copies within the Metropolitan district. It adheres strictly to its advertising rates, and it protects advertising agents upon the theory that agents encourage advertising. Dealers and agents of every class are required to pay their bills promptly. In THE SATURDAY BOOK REVIiEW, which THE TiMES publishes as a supplement, and in which it treats books as news, it has promoted an understanding and an appreciation of the best literature of the day. Harper's Weekly says it has set an example which other newspapers have emulated, so that " every daily journal in New York, and nearly every one in the country, now has a well-conducted literary department. Imagine, if you can, the extent of the uplifting influence thus wrought upon the minds of millions who require a constant whetting of the intellectual appetite for the acquirement of knowledge." The results of THE TiMES's efforts have encouraged publishers elsewhere to resist the yellowish tendency, and in this respect THE TiMEs has rendered a public service. THE NEw YORK TIMES is one of the few newspapers that are owned and controlled by the men who are wholly engaged in its management, 7-0 per cent. of its stock being owned by the men who make the paper. THE NEW~ EDITIONV OF L ARNEDIS HISTORY for L~READY REFERENCE Revised and Enlarged and Brought up to date ~-~ l with New Maps and New Plates thr~oughout. THE entire work has been revised and its scope extended; many new features added, new maps made expressly for It, and the complete h~istory of the world's past brought up to the close of the century. The contents of these volumes consist of the chioicest excerpts in the very words of the be~st historians, covering the history of all countri(.-s and sub~jects. All has been carefully referenced, cross-referenced, and systematized, so that historical Information upon all subjects may be quickly found, thus saving time, labor, and thought by~ its plan of " Ready-Reference." It is simply unapproachable in the followitig featbfres: 1. The Attractiveness and Authoritativeness of its Literature. 11. The Simplicity and Efficiency of its Unique System of Ready and C;ross Reference. 111. The Philosophy, the Inter-Relationsr, and the Sequential Fieatures of History. No other work has ever received such encomiums. emphasizing so many and so varied points of excellence, and none can take its place because it enters upon a field never before occupied. It has proved itself a boon to the student and a deli-ght to the lover of the best literature, and is used in all the leading schools, colleges, and universities of the United States. It Is a work f or the years to come and gives the contents, by specific quotation or distinct reference, of more than twelve thousand volumes of history.
