Sunday Newspapers.

The Catholic Examiner says: "We notice that all the conventions of Protestant divines that have met recently have taken occasion before adjourning to open their vials of righteous indignation on the Sunday newspaper. Did these clergymen condemn the Monday newspaper they would be nearer right. The Monday morning paper is, for the most part, set up on Sunday; the news for it is gathered on Sunday; the editors who make it up work upon it on Sunday, when they ought to be in church listening to the preacher discussing the tariff, the political outlook, the Eastern imbroglio, or any of the other more or less sacred and important subjects over which the Protestant pulpit is wont to grow agitated. On the other hand, the reportorial and editorial work in the Sunday journal is done on Saturday, and in many instances it is printed before 12 o'clock on Saturday night."
