cur TV. 1 a lew years ago. the loas wnnld have been
not less momentous to the public thrui to the; pro
fess on of which he was the recognired bead. But
Mr. Delano resigned the editors?ip of The Times
in 18771 resigned it after long struggle
against a chronic disease of a peculiarly
depressing character with whim few men would
have contended under such a burden of toil and re?
sponsibility im lay tipou him. He hail sustained it
only too ttiiirageously and far beyond the limit
whic h ordinary pnidene. ami th ?counsels of friends
would have set. Hut be probably eared
little for life without power. Tor some
years be must have known verv well that
he was risking his life by continuing at In*
post. For tive and twenty years he bad Iteen in the
doctoiV hands ; and was, perhaps, as intractable a
a patient a- ever vexed the sonl of a kindly physi?
cian. In one resjKM-t he and the I .te >'?. Raymond
bad something its common. Neither of them would
ever believe that any stress of work could
be ton much for Ihem, or that the will
of a resolute man was not stronger that
any pbv?ieal malndv. B dh of them paid
the p -nilty of their mistake nv a premature death.
Mr. Reyiuond went SSWl >' a blow. Mr. Delane
towa'd the last did parley a little with his enemy.
He took now and theu a vacation, aud less than
thre<" years aim made a trip of some duration loa
Continental wateiinp-placo. frying himself mean?
while absolutely from oil connection with
the office. But his earlier vacations were
hardly vacations, except in name. raving a
visit in theextreme north otKrotland. some distress
Jug blunder would bring him back bv express train;
a thaht of peremptory telegrams from station to
station preceding his arrival. Ami his Continental
holiday was so much too late that it was the direct
Cause of his determination to retire altogether from
bia pn?t. I wrote to him on his return to n?k if the
rnmors of his resignation, which hail t?egun to fly
about, were true This was bis answer:
i grieve to sav that the reom r von irentl":i respect?
ing SSV elf is entirely well founded. i returned from

T>nring a'l thfit long career I have been cheered bv the
hindne?. <>? the press, to wlio'ii I owe and feel the 11ve
lleat oloirntions. Pray accept a la-ge portion for.iour
?elf. and believe me, ever faithfully.
John T. Delane.
1 do tmt atrike out the refer-nee to nivself,
tb"tigh. with his invariable kindness, he ha? ?onken
as if 1 had been able to do him some service, and
it is a pleasure, to M that he did so speak. 1 need
not say that 'he indebtednesa was wholly on my
aide, sav s.< far as he might choose to consider hirc
aclf und-1 an obligation for the good will to him
and adtnir ition of his character which I cherisi.*d.
Fersonal regrets have no place in the attempt to
estimate a great public cbaraeter, yet I cannot but
pay how deeply I feel Mr. Delane a loss. Such ac
tpiaintam e as 1 had with bun was not intimate.
1 have no p isaihlc claim to write of h iui as a near
fiiend; vet there are few near friends whose
death would lie a more grievous shock, fn certain
ways I owed him mnch. I have had some
peraoual kindness to thank him for. which I shall
never firget. and what I owe to him profeasionnli.v
Is a debt of much larger dimensions. I acknowl?
edge it because I think I ought to acknowledge it,
and it anybody chojscs to think it heightens my
estimate of his character and capacity and public
services, that is only another reason for frankness
In stating it. But, as u matter of fact,
my opinion about Mr. Diane was formed
and expressed before I came under any further obli?
gation to him than the lessons 1 learned from him
in journalism, and when 1 had had no personal rela?
tions wifh him of any kind. We all knew lately
that he was very ill. Since the date of that
Jettet he has lived in seclusion on his place
at Ascot Heath, his health steadily failing.
He was often too ill to see tho friends
who li.nl gBM down from Ltypdon to call on him.
For the first time in his life he had leisure to enjoy
the domestic pleasures which were dear lo him, and
Which be had so long sacr.fi cd to the requirements
of duty. And on Haturdaj". November 22, he
died. There was no reason to be surprised by the
news of his death. But the surprise is always the
same when it comes, and it was all the greater to
nie because it came at some distance from home. I
was sitting iu a newspaper ofli e iu Edin?
burgh when the message was brought in. and
Imperative duties kept me in Edinburgh till after
the funeral last Saturday. I don't know why 1 touch
on sui li tilings. They may serve to show that it is
not from indifference or Ui gleet that this poor tribute
to Mr. Delaue's memory comes so late.* Now I pass
to other matters that have more concern for you and
jonr readers.
The European world has long been agreed in
reckoning The Time? the lirst journal in the world,
lu Europe there bus been mine to dispute its pre?
eminence, whether in England or on the Conti?
nent. It might be hard to say at what date the
paper first acquired an unquestioned supremacy.
Possibly it w as before Mi. Delano's time, but uo mat?
ter. If it were, that proves, not tlie excellence of The
Trme*. but the inferiority of its rivals. The Time?,
as we know it to-day, as all Furo|*e knows it, or
knew ii dow n to his death, was the creation of Mr.
Delane. Ds previous half century of existence had
given if a commercial basis.bnt it was still contend?
ing with The Morning Ckrvuklt for a con?
trolling influence iu England. Judged by
the modern standard. it was neither a
very able journal, nor a great newspaper. The
leadcisof Meiling, which gave it the name of the
Tbuiid? rcr. would now lie thought discredit a bio to
a prm on i.il penny p:i|>er of tin lesser sort. The
nro'c.I "i of journalism did not exist. The meth?
ods oi journalism, aa we understand them, did uot
exist. 1 don't refer to the transformation which
has inclined iu the methods of collecting
new s. I lo re ? as as much room for enterprise
befon telegraphs and railways as siucc
?perhaps more. But neither The Tinu* nor
any other journal was organized on the editorial
or on the news side, as e\er.v important jouriiul is
Htm !. The making of newspapers was iu
its exp i lineuta). not to say embryonic stage. Per?
haps nobody but a journalist can accurately meas?
ure tin-extent of the change, but the public reaps
the hem-lit of it. though it may not have fol?
lowed the process. Down to a very late
period' in the history of Euglish journalism The
'Jim?* b d the way in this transformation, aud that
in only saying that Mr. Delane led the way. What
Carlyle said of Sterling with exaggeration may be
said of Delane with strict accuracy. For five and
thirty years he teas 'Me Time?. And the.
xueaaure of Mr. Delaue's ability and of his
work is to be found in the advance from Ihe
5fis.es of leUO to Tie llmet of lb70. That advance
or, as 1 called it before, that transformation, is, in
pay judgu.i id, the ixost signal fact in the bieiory of
Journalism. It may Is said that no one man is the
pole ugent in any great work?the influences of the
time work with bim, and be is in a swum- aejj n,,.
exponent and agent oi'tbose influence*. True, but
that does not modify our opinion of any gn at man,
because it applies to ail great men. Delane
Was as much the author of this transformation in
journalism and in The Jime*, as Prince Bismarck
Was the author of the German Empire. For the
Improvements made in some departments Mr.
De-lane may divide ftierredlt wilhoome o? bis col
lesgnee. tint for .the organization of tbe intellec?
tual power of tbe paper, for the elevation of it h>
tellectusl tone, for the bidlding tip of tbe
vsst authority it wielded, for, in one word, tbe edit?
ing <?f 7 h; Time? iu he Miiet sense of tho word, the
credit belongs to llr. Delane, nnd to Mr. Delane
alone. Ou this and kindred points there ia a gnat
?leal to f?e said, but I wrote nt some length
on them at the time of his revgnation,
aud 1 will not repeat the views then BS>
nressed. I do not hold them any lew strongly now
than then ; what las since occurred strengthens
tbeni. Some notion of the range and value of Mr.
Ik lane's woik 01 Ike Time* may lie got bv om par?
ing The Tiuet as it was under him, and 77?o lime* as
it now i?, with its editorship iu toiuiniseii u.
MR. >????*? MKTIIOOS.
The quantity of work Mr. Delane did waa i>rn
digioio-work of the purely editorial kind. He
soMom or never wrote a leading article In his own
paper. Hut in one sense he was the ar.'ior f
most of them. It was he who che > u
topics aud 'dictated the treatment of th to.
He l>asl on able staff about him of p .?
tisul wii'e: am: these also be eho-e?whose i tain
bii , -s ,t v. is to pul into rrudub'o si.:?!?<? the ..!.
and viewe which they received from Mr. Delano. Oi
course I ib-n't mean that he supplied mot* than the
scheme of the articles which these gifted writ rs
worked out. He took care?and if was one of
the secrets of bis power, and of tho fresh?
ness ami vigor o? The Timen leader.*?tbat
measures should be advocated by men who
believed iu ti ef . Wh o tin' paper < banged sides
another irrisoB took op tbe sabjoct. No man was
expeef-d to argue itgaiut't l.is own cotivieiio-s. The !
nest men aie not to >>e had on those terms,
nor do the best men do their best work
under conditions oipotlBfl them to Mich
humiliation-. The nntine and method of
the editorial e.ili.-o varied little. To the
last Mr. Dehme dtots' his own letter-. I
never received from bitu a letter not in Ins own
handwriting from beginning lo end; nor ever saw
one thai in bad dictated. One n.iiou of bis keep?
ing lo tit" obi habit may have been that
be wiotn (ti r ditigly good b'ttt r". They we:o
always straight to the point, with never a word too
mm ii. In many other ways lie adhered to bis curly
cnttoms?in noao more coii-pu-iipiislr than in bis
hours of work, and tho nature of lite control he ex?
ercised over the daily production of The Timr?. He
was at the ofiiei by ](i,or, if dining out, before 11
every even int. He never left it till the paper had gone
to press, .ml the tits*, r.-ompicte print'd bluet ! id
Im en pliM cil in his bands. Nothing was there which
had not had Iiis sanction. A map of toe paper lay iu
bis muni lief.ire it went to the stereotyper. He was
not of those editors who think the " itiake-r.p " of a
great journal may be Mtfely left to the niuhl fore
mon of the printing office.
Mr. D lane's activity lunged over every depart?
ment of the paper. I don't tinuk he eared deeply
about anything except politics, including under
that h.ad the u ho'e course of public affairs t hi ough
nnt the civiliz.-d world. Bui be suoei vUc-d every?
thing. The quantity of proof be read is some!lung
incredible. Literature, art, music, ? ominercial news,
Ira \ ? reports, military and naval intelligence, the
money article, tbe vast series of loiters from abroad,
law re;?orts?nay, the very police reports and local
item* pa-- d, however rapidly, under that all
serutinizing eye and cool judgment. He used to say
the great thing was to know what to keep out of
the pa|?er. Another favorite phrase with him will be
found nub die ! inihe note kinw ; which ngaiu will
show the sort of pain- h? took. It refers to the
letter I w rote to 77c 77/,?'. on Mr. Dana's rejection
by the Senate as Minister to 1'agluml. Mr. Delano
took the trouble to strike out of it a personal phrase
or two, ami a ? losing paTOBTSph in wbtcb I had < x
pressed a raiber lie op ;>i?n up >n one or t wo of tho
Senaiois who had mool con i. il.u t. d to tbe contumely
pot upon Mr. Dana. These iriiicismain u<- degree
helped tne aivument. they could surely not have
been to tbetaotOOl t!ie Kuglili public, and Mr.
Delane did a service both Ii Mr. Dana and to me by
bis expurgations. I w rote lo thuuk him for it, und
he answered :
1 am tciy me. h (Littered nt y ?.ut taking so well the
excisions 1 VeutliroO to make from your letter. I liellere

flair tu eye? wlil ae? belter tliuu Ihe lirst " bow It will

And since it aOOSOOOOtiaaOS boOO said thai Mr.
Delane sbo.vcd himself careless about correcting
mistakes committed in the paper or atoning for in?
juries done to ibdivulu its, I will quote one more
letter?one which explains itself:
I did not receive i our let ti r until l.ite thD evening, as I
was, ae-cordieg lo my ordinary habit, out ot town on
flalllldaj. in I slaiilfl lata written at once to express
my r. grel that IniasttOS hail been does lo-, auo to
betr lust you would redress it In y. at own lingnare. I
mink u conlradleUaa would bo wars t fl.ctive if it came
from ytui, sward ?Ith your mim?, aud u I? my dealre to
make ti.e contradiction as effective as powiulo.
He wuh as good as bis word, nnd 1 have to say
tbat I never appealed iu vain to Mr. Delane's sense
of Justice, whether for myself or another, nor over i
knew him reluctant to give a beating to the advo?
cate of ..i. ?! popn ar cause, no matter how obscure,
or to the opponent of Ins own views. It ws part of
his theory el editorslup that both sides should be
hoard.
I I llS.i.N.M. CIIAIIACTKRISTICS.
They say lie was iiiconsistont, which is true. It
is as a fault he shared with the public forwhom be
undertook to speak. Ho did not think it his duty
to be wiser or more teuacious of opinion than the
world. Ihat theory of a journalist's dnty which
consists in sw imming with the stream is not one
which I prefer, but it may at least be saul of Mr. De?
lano that be was consistent in his inconsistency.
His perception of public opinion, bis quickness iu
discovering iLs changes of mood, bis knowledge of
tbe world about bun. his judgment of character,
were all marvellous. He lived much with men,
was deep iu the secrets of Miuistcrs, often called in
us adviser both in public und private busmeos, was
trust, d often and never betrayed his trust.
Personally be was a capital type ol English?
man, both tu appearance and character. Meeting
him In the afternoon on Kotten How you would
take him for a country gentleman. Probably no
man in Europa made up his mind so decisively on
so many questions during each day. 1 don't thiuk
be cared uiticb for adv ice. He had the confidence
in himself which most men of genius for affairs
have. And in Printing House Square he ruled with
a rod of iron. There never was a great editor
or great administrative of any kind who did not.
As much velvet as you please on the gauntlet, but
tbe steed beneath is the essential thing. Yet he was
cousiderate to bis subordinates in every possible
way.awaretbat personal eonsiderateness is perfectly
I consistent with rigid discipline and ruthless Judg?
ment aipou their work in the interest of the jour?
nal. Men stayed long upon The Time?, and
I wrought for it zealously. They were not lightly
chosen nor lightly dismissed.
Mr. Delane had another point of resemblance
with Prince Bismarck, lie trained no successor.
He had under turn, indeed, an accomplished limit' n
aut, thoroughly familiar with tbe details of
the office, and probably tbe most cr.pablo
man at the moment of Mr. Delane's re?
tirement to take command of tbe ship. But
that was not the view of the proprietors, and Mr.
Delane himself pi rhaps took little thought of the
delnge that should come after him. The amiable
and cultivated scholar who nominally holds tbe post
of editor is understood to conduct Ihe Time? in ac?
cordance with the views of its chief owner, a man
of cautious mind, noted for a tepid conservatism in
mostmaftei> m.t ecclesiastical, and fanatical in these
last. I do not believe Mr. Delane conld have held
office n dar without power. It bus always been tin
.2 Mood that be was absolute master; perfectly In?
fi pendent and perfectly despotic. It was
in Mr. Walter's power to dismiss Mr. De?
lane j it was not iu bia power to edit 77c
7tMe? so long as Mr. Delane was editor. If
tbe puHuage purporting to give an extract from Mr.
Dchiti s will be authentic, be le ?res ten pounds to
Mr. Walter, in company with Mr. Morley, Mr.
St.lii.ing, Mr. Courtney and o ber well-known
writers und workma ou The 7fates, of ail whom he
speaks aa hpt colleagues. Authentic or not, the
passage areurat. ly describes* tbe relations which
Mr. Delane conceived to exist between the chief
opeofietoi ol tin paper und himself. They were col?
league 1 bete suit partnershipbeiweeu the twoj a
partnership of a kma not unknown in other com?
mercial enterprises; in whioh one member of the

other supplying tbe brains by which these are
