2 A SIGHT WITH TIIF, SEWS THE RECORD Ot t VENTS FRCM ALL PARTS C FTHE WORLD. Told By Te’.etrrspb licks—l he Flood o' Dispatches In a Morn n? Newspaper Office and How They Are Edited and Made Presentable for the Great Reading Public. (Coin/right 1W).) New York. Aug. 17.—The daily news paper has come to t>e al nost as much of a necesii y t-> tue American citizen as his daily broad. The merchant, toe naiufact urer. the professional man, the banker, th • workingman all hare an insatiable thirst for knowledge of what is going on about the n, a id the Vpc rd of each day's events finds eager readers iu every class and con dition of society. To present this record in concise ad attractive form is the mission of the daily ne * spa per. Much has been sai l and written concern ing the systems of gather g news, the labors of reporters, the ingenuity of inter viewers, the vig.la ice of the editors, the probing of mys.ei es, the st.ll hunt, the rush, the excite nent a id t le adventures of those upon whom devolves the duty of gearc ing out facts an 1 giving • hem to an expectant public. The dema ids, the per plexitie-, the str igglos a id the tr.u nphs of this bra ch of the *er\iee have been set forth frequently and graphica ly. But the eis one quiet 100 m in every newspaper office where the toil g es < n with unruffled monotony, where no bustle or hurry is apparent, where the surface of the current is sin oth and placid. Here there is no noise save the cl ick of the tel - graph instrument; he; e there is no ru ming in and out, no excitement a id scarcely an . conversation. Yet hire is a centering point for the news of the world; here, from every quarter of the globe, comes the story of every evint whose importance entitles it to a place in the cirouicle of human affairs. How this news is obtai ied shall not here be recounted; suffice it to say that the work is mainly performed by two great organizations—lue old established As soclat. and P. oa, experie..cvd, alert, we 1 equipped, far-reaching, and with such a perfect system that no important event eseafie- it; and the younger Unite! Press, wide awake, pu-hir g and übiquitous, already a foi mniable rival to its elder com petitor m the business. Most daily papers are supplied with news by one or the other (and occasionally both) of these associations. The great journals in the large cities als have tueir lei > sof si ecialcorrespondents, and, according a their i come will permit give original ad “exclusive” dispute les from all iinpi rtant points. But in cities of from 30.1 k 0 to 150,000 population, the daily papers are as a general tnuig memoers of the A--SOC ated Press or the United Press, and receive the greater part of the r news over the wire of cue of these associations. How is this news received? In wha' shape does it first reach the editor’s eye? What manipu ation is requisite to nre-e it it in attractive form, so that the Morning Boomer which is left at your door briglu and early shall, by its appropriate head lines and prooer an angem * t of matter, inform you readily and intelligibly on the facts and is ue- of current history? Each news association is c imposed of a certain number of morning und evening papers. These payers have the exclusive use of a special w in-which p .sses throug ail their offices, with ihe li.adquarters (if located in the ei.st) at N< York. At 8 o’clock in the morning the report or even ing pape s begins and continues until late in the af ei noon. Al 6:3J o’clock in the evening the eport f r m ruing pa pc s be gins ad continues until 2:300r So’c.ock the next moral e, or in special emergencies until a much later hour. The “te egraph editor” of a morning paper either receives a duplicuto copy of ti e day report, written in manifold, 01 clips it fnrom the afternoon paper, condens ing ail its news into the mnllest space p .s --sible. If he did not thus eionomiza gpacj, there would be i sufficient n om left for the fresher, m to important and voluminous night di.ear"h s. Having thus “b tile i down” all news received duri g he day, he is ready for his all-night duties. First come market roports from all unporta.it bu mess centers. These are turned over to to the commercial editor. Then co mnen es the stream of general news, flowing iu from all parts of the world, ad the arduous labors of the night are well under way. The e are two tati.es .id>3 by side. Ole is occupied by the telegraph operator, whose work demands special aptitude and training, a quick ear, close attention, and the ability to write rapidly and legibly. A fair educati >n and familiarity with per.o is, place- and current events are also valuable adjunct-in this department of new.papei work Each sheet of ma uscript pa ses immediately into the hands > f tue telegraph editor who must correct ail erro sof spell ing and pu ct ation, capita’ization and style, and write over every item an ap pro! riate head. He mus estimate promptly and accurately the importance of each piece of news and assign tt to its proper classification. He must pay due regard to the policy of the paper, as to politics, relig ion and sensationalism. Some journals de vote exte ide 1 space to prize fights, social scuudal ad the lik-, to the sacrifice of leg islative proceedings and congressional de bates, while others, as aru e, pursue the contrary policy. Some journals flavor their political news vri h editorial headlines, in accordance wit i their partlsa i predilec tions, and even go so far as to suppress or mutilate and spatches rela ing to the affairs of the ppoaition. Others are impartial i this respect, and. no matter how rabid may be their editorial exoivssion, ttieir news pages present simply a faithful chronicle of events, speeches ad platforms, wi ti head ing uncolored hy partisan pref rences, and indicating fair y the matter which folio s This is the policy which makes papers trustworthy and gives them popularity, and which, in many cases, is never’varied from except during the exige .ci. s of presiden tial campaigns. In tu liters of this kind the telegraph editor is frequently obliged to exercise very exact judgment, end approach closely, without stepping over it, the verge of forbidden gr uud. It is in his power, hy uu unwise expression in headline, to fi.i the managing editor nth dismay, throw the business depar.ment in to a spasm and create a general convulsio i throughout the establishment, or even the community. The news often comes in disconnected fragments. Early in tho evening there xuey be a three-Uue announcement of a vote in the Kou-e of Commons. Thi. is imme diately “edited” and placed on the copv hook. Other news pours in, and an hou later comes a dispatch headed.: “Subitt ute for brief i em abou House oflCommon Then follows an extended debate on somr phase of the Irish question which it so ■ becomes evident is 10 he one of the most important dispatches of the night. It suddenly ior ass oil m the midst 01 a speech by Parnoli and tne wire is given over to a base hall score, l alf a Lzo accidents, the arrival of an ocean steamer aud he deat.i of sane prominent, person. Theu couie. the direc.iou “Add House of Com oils," followed by the conclusion of Parnell’ speech and a rejoinder hy the gover ment leader. This again may be interrupted, and a speech by some prominent politician be ticked over the wee, preceded by the following direction: “Will indicate later where to use.” This means that a banquet or couve tion is in progres and that tame is to be gai.ed by seudtug the spsech in Ad vance of tne routine proceeding*. Later the introduction wiil com , stating tue time and place of the meeti g, it* bjeot, presiding officers and general proceedings, and at the on per point will bo tne direc tion: “Insert s,ech.” Following th s there may be a dispatch as follows: “Bulletin.—lt is reported that a disas trous Qre is i aging in a tonemeut dist ict of Chicago. Many lives are kn-.wn to be lost. A gal, of eind is blowing and the fire department ishelple.s.” The tela-ra-h editor is thus apprised of a coming dispatch wuieh w.li probably be startii g iu its details and demand a “Dis play ea 1.” He kn >ws bv experience, howeve , that it may not materialize into anything of m re than ordinary importance so le must tie prepared for either contin gency. Ah, here comes a other “add to the H us • of Commons. There may be more than half a dozen of them before th - night is through, and the debate i> already show ng signs of more than usual i terest. Is drift ad incidents must be kept care fully in mi and, for tney must be erubo .led at ala e hour in a brief and expressive display head. Meanwmie, all sorts of items, on all eon ceivab e subj ets, are coming in. They must all be edite 1 an i se it to t e com osi tor, and the work must be done without the slightest waste of time. There may be I twenty long dispatches which come in fro n three to six installments, and over each installment t e telegr iph editor must wrue nn “add line’’ (or “ind.cation head”) which shall beaguide to tie foreman in making up the forms and enable him to put everything i. is pioper place. As the i light ad ances the pace go’s more rapid. There l-a flood of news and the i stiuinent tick- wit i increasing spe-iL Many item are given t • the c impnitor without h adn, brief “add line*” being placed over each one, for the sake of iden lica. ion later on. It is not always possible to determine on the instant their r lative importance or the length to which t iey may grow. Meantime the telegr ph editor is mentally planning his “lay out" —thai is, the arrangement of his page, tle d.splav heads, the double heads aid single eads. Sprinkled through the nignt are als • special dispatches from country c irresp in dents, aud at certain times in the year from nat or.al aid state capitals. These as a rule, require very careful editing. Th ‘y may contain objectionable matter or I discreet expressions and are frequently marred bv cruditi *s of stvle and even erro s in gram mar. Some of them ma- be corrected bv a few mirks of the pencil; othe s have to bo entirel re-written. These special dii patcnei. intermingled with the flow from the re pilar press wire, make the telegraph editor r ealize what it is to “hustle.” A nitionsl or state convention alwavs involv *s a night of toil. Tnere are correc tio s, “adds,” “inserts,” substitutions, a id all ma i er of changes sent fro a time to time iunug the night. These wou and be bewild ering if the telegraph edit >r permitted him self to become disconcerted. But he rn st. “keep his head” and lie master of the situa tion. He must have a firm band on ail the strings and bring order out of chaos. As the hour of goi g to pres* approaches ie must have his “lay out” renly for the foreman who makes up the foe ns, a id must be prepared to answer on the instant any question as to the proper place for this or that speech, res lution, committee or no ni nation. Ihe type is scattered around on twenty different ga leys, aud the forem in is in a burry, possibly nervous and cross. There is no time for deliheratio i. Every thing must be done with the utmost promo titude, for the eis an extra large ednio i t orint, and the forms must go to press as early as possible. All this time the tele graph editor niu-t keep on a jot trot fr un the imposing stone to his own deik, fortho mstru nent is clicking at break n ek speed, and fresh sheets of copy must be edited, marked with appropr.ate “add lines," a id "run out” without a moment’s delay. And if, as is often t >e cae, the tel -graph editor has to rea 1 his ow i proofs, it may oe rightly concluded that his hands and head are full to overflowing. In the morning the readers of the Boomer see no evidence of the toil or trouble. Tney expect an orderly and seqnential acoou it of the work of the co ivention vhose ncti m l bey havebeen anxi nislv a waiting,and Ihev geuerall get it. Tney also look a 1, as a rule, Hud tr istw >rt y reoorts of t ie latest railway accident,a great flood w lieh his ea - ried death ii its path, a tor lad i 1,000 miles distant, a list of appointments by t ie p-esl dent, aud election of officers by some si ret society—a score of other events in which they have a personal or gen eral interest. But few real ize the labor, the pains, the anxiety and t ho strain involved in cove ing t e whom field, and the same ti ne performing the task .vith rapidity and accuracy. Perpl xities often present themselves in the shape of a sudden rush of a lvortise ine ts, or a lengtuv piece of local news, either of which may make inroads ou the space for telegraph matter. In such ea es many and spatc.ies must be rejected, and to make instant and wise choice of what to print aud what to discard, requires at times a very nice exor c.se of judg nent. But a dull night is most to be dreaded. There may be “trouble on the wire,” necessitating suspension of . ork for two or three hours, or there may be a dearth of news. Considerable ingenuity is required at such times to give thetelegr ph page a sembla .ee of freshness a id interest, and tiiough the experienced editor has re sources wnicli enable hitn to accom lish this result with a tair degree of success, the situation is ann lying, Far preferable is the u y night, when the rush begins early aud continues late, when every nerve is strained to keep up with the paee, when tho hand, eye and brain are kept on the j ump. The telegraph editor must be well in formed reg n ding the names of all pronii ment people, tne project with which they are identified, their political or other affiliations, and I he special work in which they may tie trom time to time engage 1. He must have a comprehensive knowledge of politics, both domes; ic ad foreign, a.id a general ad detailed stock of informati m on ail subjects of cui ren, interest. He must have a kee t eye for blunders oriuco i isteu cier in the dis iatch,s w ich he receives, aud be prompt to co root them or oota u corrections f.oin tne ce.itrai ollice of his news asgocia ion. He is frequently called ui>on hr tne editor-in-i hief tor facts rega d ing passing events and the s i viiigs an d>- ingsof prominent people. Heq usiti ms a e often made upon him for editor! tl writi ig, to which he is expected to respond wit alacrity and cheerfulness, even th m;h his nightly battle with the news is a sufficient tax on the laboring capacity of any one man. As to pay ? Well, tho salary is not munifi cent, hut the te.ogiaph dam is look and upon as thestopping tone to a i editorial, chair, and it generally proves to be sueu, if the labors are performed elficien.lv, faithfully and cons ie.itiojsiy. Tue reward may be 1 a.g :n c iming, bu, .the outlook is a spar to ambitio i and energy. Ho sever, tm> is a ade issue. Enough tins be u said, perh ps, to make it apparent that a in * ,t with the news :s a busy nig it —a nig it full of anxie ties, responsibilities aud critical juticture,— a nigut in wit .oh attention to detail, a com prehensive view of th# si.uation, and ex actness of performance are inui-psu-abie reqmsi.es in the work to bed me.
