The Editor Gets Along, but "t!ie Lord
Only Knows How"?

^ We do njl Know who mute uie
~ foliowinir irraphic statement. I>ut
lie was evidently some one wiio
ha ! "been there"himself. Moreover,
he was the editor of a "eountry
newspaper,'' as we are assured
by the New York Tribune, and il
he had written lor a yen-- lie could
not have stated the case more
clearly, and with such a wealth of
philosophy:
"The editor has a charter from
the State to act as doormat lor the
community. He will the paper
out somehow, and stand up
lor the town, and whoop it up for
you when you run lor oniee, ana
lie about your bin-footed sen
when lie nets ;i four dollar-a week
.job, and weep over your shriveled
soul when il is released lroin its
grasping body, and smile at your
wife's second marriage. Don't
worry about tiie editor, he'll got
along. The Lord only knows how
?but somehow."
That covers the case, and covers
if all over. The countrv newsna
pers in this Stale do more hard
and thankless service ior their
respective communities than all
the officeholders and professional
sharps and gentlemen of leisure
who were created for some purpose,
we suppose. They work
early and late, and ninety per
cent, of their work goes without
reward. It is a strange thing
about the newspaper business gen
erallv that most people do not regard
it as ^business" at all. Customers
go into a store and pay for

for a pound of crackers, a bunch of
cigars, a box of candy, a bolt of
rcloth, or any ol the many thous:7fif|^wKis;3_
which are sold, but
they ask the price of the articles
which they think they would like,
and if llie articles suit and the
price is about what they can afford
to pay for them, they pay
for them in cash, or -have it
/
charged/' it is not so with news
papers. If John Jones makes a
great speech,ami it is reported at
length by a man who is paid for
doing the work, and is printed in
a newspaper which has to pay for
putting the story in type, Jones
would like to get. hall a dozen
copies of the paper for distribution
among his friends, and Joues
generally tries to get them for
nothing.
If tlialnreiv M Rrnivn Robin
son has a tea and her parlors are
crowded with the elite of the land,
and the society reporter writes a
charming account of the delightlnl
social Junction, Mrs. BrownRobinson
would like to have ten
or twenty copies of the paper to
mail to her out-of-town friends,
and she would be shocked if anything
should be said by the young
man at the desk about so common
a thing as money in exchange for
the papers, which she would obtain
lor the gratification of her
own amiable wish to let her
frionile L-tinuT lir?vvr ulm fi<rniv?c in
the great social swim.
Several years ago, as we have
been told, a newspaper printed a
long story about the celebration
of a military company. It lilled
a great deal of space, and cost a
good deal of money to put it in
shape for the entertainment of the
reading public. It would seem
that the newspaper had done its
full share in writing up the eeleUbration,
but the next morning, all
the same, a request was made for
* a hundred and fifty copies of the
/' paper containing the storv for
' general distribution, and a hundred
and fifty copies were worth,
according to the prices prevailing
at that time, exactly $7.50. i>esides
