[Tho editor of tho ‘ North American Review’ in September last wrote: “As a journalist, though keen, enterprising, and resourceful, Mr Hearst is a burning disgrace to the craft; as a politician, though shrewd, and at thneo even sagacious, ho is no more scrupulous than the basest of those whom he has stigmatised as criminals; as a partisan, though earnest and efficient in appealing to the masses, he is a traitor; as an office-holder ho is pre-eminent in a ohajacful diwetrard. of lit. duties ; as an agitator his delight consists in revelling in incitement to evil passions.” In conclusion, tho review says that Mr Hearst is “ a living and glaring reproach to American civilisation.”] THE NEGRO TROUBLE.
