THIS MODKIIX NKWSPAI’KK.
Us Alin. im<l Kr.iionalbllltif",—yunllllra-
lion, otnu Editor.
In his recent address before tho State
Press Association of Wisconsin, Mr. Clias. J
A. Daua spoke of the modern newspaper os
follows:
“Former times knew nothing of it. It
is a thing entirely beyond the conception |
of the people of forty or fifty years ago. ,
There ts in such an establishment, in the
first place, a trained staff of reporters, ac
complished men. Men familiar with
every detail of study that intellectual
youug men ordinarily devote themselves
to, men who have prepared themselves
either by collego studies or by practical
life in tne departments for the peculiar
duty that they have undertaken, and they
are men of extraordinary talent, knowing
the world well, able to see through decep
tion, and sometimes ablo to set one up.
[Laughter.] Then there is the staff cor
respondents in other countries. Why, it
will happen to the editor of a New Tork
paper, for instance, to go down to his of
fice in the morning and to send a man from
I-‘mdon to St Petersburg in order to re
port something that is going to happen
four or .five days Ltcr. The modern news
paper literally has its fingers reaching out
toward every quarter of the globe, and
«ver* finger is sensitive and every nerve
brings back the treasures of intellectual
wealth that are stored up there nnd a pho
tograph of the occurrences of life that are
there taking place. Tire pecuniary ex
penditure of such a newspaper is some
thing enormous. It will not be excessive
>■ I put down the expenditures of such a
Mper u the New York Tribune or New
■"A Herald at an average of from $20,000
to $2"),000 a week, and it is the concentra
tion of all'that talent and of all these re
source* directed by trained intellects
watching all the occurrences of the world
in order to bring them together and to pre
sent them to the public every day that
produces the phenomenon” that wo call
the modern newspaper. Of course such a
■act, and this immense expenditure and
{fi** great concentration of varied
hjtclrtotmd faculties are oniy punei-
ole m a very populous country
where civilization is far advanced,
where the people everywhere demand
ihat kind of intellectual product, that
S r **t work of human art which we call a
tnodern newspaper. In a country thinly
settled, in a poor country the, thing could
P ot he afforded nor paid for, neither could
•t afford that amount of intelligence and
intellectual cultivation whicii are requi
site in order to prpduce such a result. It
** "*en the country which furnishes the
power to the editor anil proprietor of a
newspsper to furnish this great intcllectii-
** * or k, and it’s a great work of high in
tellectual development that any country is
*ble to produce Buch a thing and to sup-
Post it, and not merely to support one or
two pspers such as the Tribune and ti:
Herald, which I have im-ntio
thousand nth.-r. a!! equally w<

here. That is another puculiarity of the
United States. In the British kingdom
we find three or four drpers in London,
one or two in Edinburgh, and one or two
in Birmingham, so that in the whole of
the British Isles there are not more than
six or seven newspapers which are con
ducted on anything like the scale
which I have attempted td describe. The
p ople don’t w-ut them. They aro not
able to support them. They are not in a
condition to require them. They are sat
isfied for the most part either with an in
ferior kind of newspaper which is produced
in their town, or tho London newspaper
which they get at a later hour in the day.
In England, also, there is this great differ
ence: that there is a great reading of week
ly newspapers. ^People are willing to yail
a* week to find the news. The world
might be revolutionized and they would
not know it till their weekly newspaper
came round. In this country there is no
town of any importance whicii has not
from or e to half a dozen daily papers.
But it is not the case in England; neither
is it the case in Germany, which is the
country next to England in point of gen
eral intelligence. There arc very few first-
rate papers in Germany, not one anywhere
which is to be compared with the Ameri
can newspaper in <he amount of news that
it furnishes, in the amount of-sresources
that are applied to it, or generally in the
ability with which it is conducted. The
German newspapers are like the German
learned men, exceedingly learned, bnt not
entirely in contact with the livhg senti
ment of the people; pursuing their own
theories remote from the people, and not
feeling their pulse and knowing their
thoughts aud understanding their hearts
at all times. What is the business of an
American editor? He mnst
K2tOW WHAT THE PEOPLE THINK
lie must know what they feel, and he must
speak their ideas, or his whole work will
be in vain. There is no question but the
atmosphere of freedom is essential to the
production of a first-rate newspaper, a
newspaper which poa-esses all the great in-
icilcuudl ouat aoU.i **>**». A country
I where there is anything approaching to
despotism, either politically or socially, is
not suited to the growth of newspapers,
j That is one reason why there are
I so many of them in this country,
I and of such great excellence. It is tne
i freedom. It is the ability to grow which
belongs to American things, and docs not
belong in the same sense, so far as 1 am
aware, to tilings in other countries. We
say, for instance, that France is a free
country. It is a Republican country, and
yet, when you come to take a French
newspaper, you find that it is altogether
on a lower plane; the note is pitched i
another key; it is not the same sort of
combination. It is like the old fashioned
country and in England forty or fifty
years ago, There will I lie rf.il,
well written essay which i- called
an editorial, and the rest of the paper will
he comparatively interior; thecolleciion of
news * ill be exci cdingly i,“perfect. T. ere
i" no French newspaper to be compared,
for instance, to the I nlnine, ortlie lb raid,
in the universality of its reports, in the
indualrv with which they are collected or
in the general amount and accuracy of
news which it publishes. The reason for
this fact I lind in the great social freedom
which eiist., in this country, where every
intellectual plant grows vigorously ami
iwwra its fruits, without hindrance from
any quarter. The newspaper must be
FOUNDBD ON HUMAN NATUIIK. |
It must correspond to the wants of the
people. It must furnish the sort. of in-1
formation which the people desire, or else
it can never be successful. The first thing
which an editor must look at is—if the
newspaper lias not the news, it may have
everything else, vet it will be compara
tive unsuccessfully; and by news I mean
everything that occurs, everything which
is of human interest, and which is
of sufficient importance to arrest
and absorb the attention of
the public, or of any considerable part of
it. There is a great disposition in many
quarters to say that the newspapers ought
to limit tho amount of news that they fur- 1
nish; that certain kinds of news ought not
to he published. I do not know iiow that
is. I am not prepared to maintain any
abstract proposition in that line, hut 11
have always felt that whatever the divine
Providence permitted to occur I was not!
too proud to report. [Cheers.]
A great deal has been said of lato years !
about the sort of education that the jour-!
nalist should he furnished with, and some :
of the colleges have even esiablislicd pro- |
fessorships of journalism. My friend,Wil-'
liatn Iirainard Smith, a most accomplished,
amiable, and competent gentleman, has
been made professor of journalism in tho
Cornell Uuivenity, in New York, and
there he proposes to teach the young men
how to make tmwspapere. On the other
hand, I heard a very able and successful
journalist the other day, who said that
special studies of that sort were of no use;
that the
ONLY SCHOOL FOB A JOUBXAI.IST
was a newspaperofiice. That is a question
worth looking at. The intellectual profes
sions, according to the old nomenclature,
did not include a newspaper man. The
journalist is new. He is a modern pro
duct. When the old division of intellect
ual occupation was made the learned
were divided off into clergymen, doctors
and lawyers. There was no sucli thing as
a newspaper. Society had not yet got
sufficiently advanced to have* news
papers and there was no occasion for intel
lectual men to think of such a thing. But
now there must be newspapers and men
must he taught, educated, trained to make
them. Iiow shall that ho done? There is
one remarkable thing about the education
that a newspaper man requires. It must
be universal, He must know a great many
things, aud the better he knows them the
better lie will be in his profesMon. There
is no chance for an ignoramus in that
trade.

ANOTHKlt TYPESETTING MACHINE.
An Instrument for Which Much Is Claimed
Hy The Inventor.
From the New York Sun.
A typeset.ing machine has just been
perfected by J. E. Munson, a well known
stenographer of this city. In the storing
and preliminarv treatment of the type it
closely follows tiie Thorne machine, now
in opera'ion through the country, holding
type that are nicked according to a guard
ed system in long, narrow reservoirs, nnd
releasing them one by one at the
pressure of a lever. In ’.Mr. Munson’s
machine the compositor is re-
pl iced by a perforator, who attends a little
machine similar in appearance and action
to those used in “rapid telegraphy." An
endless tape of strong paper is run be
tween rolls, which cut through it a series
of arbitrary combinations of holes cor
responding to the capitals, numerals, and
punctuation marks oi a first-class job
office. The take, after the perforation, is
read by the proof-reader, who adds holes
where ihey are needed, and blots out those
that are incorrect until the copy is perfect
ly just tied. The preparations are pro
duced hv steel dies communicating to a
keyboard similar to that used on the type
writer, but much larger and more com
plete. The justified tape is then placed in
the receiver of the main machine, and the
power, steam, electric, or hand, ap
plied. As it runs along the per
forators free the levers, as in
the orguinette, and each combination
causes the corresponding type todrop from
the reservoir to the carrier and thence to
the galley. Illhetakc is correct the galley
is equally correct, so that the old style of
galley-proof and page-preof revision i
done away with completely. As there is
almost no limit to the speed with which
the main machine can be run, and as two
dozen perforators can be useu at once ; it is
ca ily seen that the new invention will do
the work of a large number of compositors.
A child, it is claimed, can operate the
perforator and can "cot tape” three time*
as fast as an expert tvp - - ■ an work.
