THE COUNTRY EDITOR.
Three Weeks as a Country Editor—An
Atrocioud Crime, and How It
Was Written Up.
.1. Armoy Knox.
Wliat do I know about a country ed
itor? Why, I have been htm. I once
owned and edited a four-paged daily
paper during a brief but tempestuous
career, extending over three weeks.
During those three weeks I passed
through many vicissitudes, and had
much trouble musing the paper, which
suffered from sluggish circulation, com
plicated by financial chills. f succomb-
ed under the Herculean task of trving
to keep the wolf and the sheriff from
the door. When I settled with my
creditors, by telegraph, all I had left
was a judgment "against me in the
county court, and a black eye that a
printer gave me, by way of receipt for
an unpaid week’s wages; and the only
assets Ihe printer had was the balance
of the profanity he had not expended
on me. That was in the days when
what I actually knew could have been
crowded inside of a N o. (5 envelope, and
what I thought I knew was enough to
fill the wide, wide world with awe, and
make the people of the next century
yawp with surprise and admiration. 1
had many tumultuous views of men
and aff airs, while unthought thoughts
of other things were surging within me,
and I felt "'that I could only give them
sat isfactory expression through the me
dium of a daily paper—a paper of mv
own, that. I could control. I was pos
sessed of capital, some of which was in
cash, and some in the unthought
thoughts and things. The cash amount
ed to $87.25.
I sought a town that needed a good
daily paper, and I found it in northern
Texas. 1 rented a lot of old type and
a second-hand press that a man had in
a back room, among rubbish, rust and
cobwebs, and hauled, it upstairs to my
office. The man had a mortgage on
the printing material, but, although 1
knew that a mortgage was a natural
adjunct of most newspaper offices, I
didn’t take that up. 1 allowed the
man to hold it.
I hired a practical printer, and at
once proceeded to frll a long felt want
with “one thousand circulation, guar
anteed”—at least that is the way mv
prospectus put it. On the battlements
of my front page I flung out, side by
side, the soul-stirring mottoes, “Uni
versal Education—The Safety of the
Republic.”—“Entered at the post of
fice as second-class matter.” Then I
proceeded to throw my whole soul into
the writing of a salutatory, in which,
among other things, I said: “We shall
defend and uphold the right, and op
pose and condemn the wrong; will be
untrammeled in politics, uncontrolled
by any ring or clique, and always found
advocating what may be for the best
interests of the people, etc., etc.”
In those days I wielded what was
called a trenchant pen, and when I
seized it and started it on its mad ca
reer in pursuit of an idea, or in writing
an editorial on “The Power and Pre-
rogativesof the Press,” for miles around
the English language could be heard
trembling to its very foundation, while
rhetoric tottered on its throne. I have
a copy of that paper before me now" as
I write. On the editorial page I find
the following, which I give you as a
sample of how I once could write:
“We enter upon the functions of
journalism with an imperious conscious
ness of a personal committal to the
high moral responsibilities, incident to
‘ a position recognized by intelligence
and morality, as a representative and
formative entity, moulding and vitaliz
ing the intelligent constituency, who
perpetuates, by prerogatives, its exis
tence.”
Ah, me, few of ns can write now as
we could, and did, when we were young
and fair, and fresh.
In addition to my duties as editor, I
performed those of proof reader, repor
ter, obituary poet, job printer, press
man, advertising solicitor, and mailing
clerk, and I sat up at nights to write
lies about my circulation to Eastern ad
vertisers. I remember how well I could
write, with equal ease and knowledge,
on all sorts of subjects. A heavy edi
torial on, for instance, the Turko-Per-
sian embroglio, would engage my atten
tion in the morning. After concluding
a column on that subject, I would,
without stopping longer than the time
it took to kick a strange dog into the
alley, write half a column of a long
primer panegyric on an early variety
of cabbage, presented to me by a sub
scriber. Then, after refreshing my
self, by setting up the matter for a pos
ter, announcing a lecture by an itiner
ant phrenologist, I would indulge in
some scathing sarcasm regarding my ri
pied as a moulder of public sentiment;
and, therefore, I never failed to scat
ter with a lavish hand, new and sec
ond-hand advice all over my columns.
I put in a good deal of personal and
local matter, and the papa- *iid very
well at first, because, being new to the
town, 1 made many mistakes smd peo
ple called on me and asked nae <to cor
rect them, and then they bought the
paper next day to see the corrections.
At the end of two weeks, part of my
capital was gone. Of course, t&at was
to be expected. A newspaper never
pays during the first few days; Qaut, in
my case, the trouble was that it was
that it was the cash part of the capital
that was ostentatiously absent. I had
still on hand, above liabilities, a big
balance of my view-s and opinions, but
neither unwritten editorials nor theo
ries on free trade will buy paper and
ink. We ran three more days on cred
it, and then I had a financial crisis.
The combined resources of the estab
lishment were not equal to the raising
of the weekly amount of rent necessa
ry to appease the rapacity of the man
who had the mortgage on the type.
This crisis was happily averted by tak
ing into the business a partner with a
The Baby’s 3«ri&l at Sea.
Dr. Mutchmore.
The saddest sight of life we ever wit
nessed was on an ocean voyage, in the
death and burial dfthe child of a lowly
German mother. Her husband had
been smitten by consumption, and with
that longing so peculiar to this form of
disease thought if he could only breathe
the air of his own boyhood’s Rhine
cliffs he would be w r ell again. But be
ing poor he had to-cross in February in
the steerage. The oold winds, scanty
fare, and hard bed were too much for
him, and he had but scarcely reached
his home when hemorrhages attacked
him, and he sent to St. Louis for his
wife and only child, a son, that he
might see him once again. The wife
sold her scanty household outfit, and
taking her babe, set out to see her hus
band’s face ere she should know what
penniless widowhood and orphanage
meant.
She wept night and day, and most of
all because she knew wot wliat would
become of her fatherless child. But
soon she learned God’s purpose : the
child wasted away ; his mother’s grief
had robbed him of his natural nurture,
and she could secure no other. The
Wonderful Htatlitlei
When it is considered that the per
centage of deaths from consumption is
91 per thousand against 63 per 1,000 of
any other malady, how important to
guard against a slight cold. Taylor's

I tried to please the people of the j was procured, but the child closed its
town, but my literary style did not
seem to ‘‘gee” with their crude, uncul
tured taste. In reporting a murder,
one day, I put it in this way:
AN ATROCIOUS CRIME.
We have just learned of the killing
of Col. Starr, who is well and favorably
known to all our citizens. It occurred
at Ilog Hollow, yesterday evening.
Reports received up to the time of go
ing to press are meagre. The name of
the murderer is J. B. Blank, and his
victim now lies dead, with a ghastly
wound in the neck. W e are constrain
ed to say that it was a cold-blooded
murder, rivaling in atrocity the worst
case of the kind we ever heard of. Ihe
murdered man’s family‘have the sym
pathy of the whole community, in then-
great sorrow and bereavement. \Ve
are opposed to lynch law, but there are
cases in which it is not to be expected
that an outraged public will await the
slow action ot the courts. This thing
of carrying pistols is an outrage, that
should be suppressed by the strong arm
of the law.
It turned out that J. B. Blank was a
prominent citizen—Col. Blank, of the
G. and N. R. R.—while Starr was an
obscure man. As soon as I learned
that I jammed the following into the
paper, and sent out an extra:
LATEST FROM HOG HOLLOW.
It was Col. J. B. Blank, one of out
most esteemed and influential citizens,
who had the unfortunate difficulty with
the man named Starr. Starr, who is a
comparative stranger here, committed a
most unprovoked assault on Col. Blank,
and the Colonel was forced, in self-de
fense, to use his pistol, wounding the
man Starr fatally. Col. Blank has the
sympathy of our people in his trouble.
While we are opposed to men taking
the law into their own hands, yet, when
men in Col. Blank’s position are wan
tonly attacked with murderous intent,
we advocate their right to defend them
selves. It was fortunate that the Colo
nel carried a pistol.
It "was of no use. Colonel Blank had
seen the first notice, and as soon as he
was released on bail, he came into the
office and shot off the end of a most use
ful thumb
* My partner said that I had talent for
personal journalism, and insisted that
if we wanted to increase our circulation,
and succeed in keeping the sheriff from
taking an interest in the concern, I
must be personal. “Go for ’em and
you’ll attract attention,” he said. I
started in with six line interrogatories
as to “how our tax collector, with a
$900 salary, can build a $12,000 house ?”
“Why does our street commissioner
continue to hold his office while he so
criminally neglects his duties?” I
found fault with every public official in
the town, and hinted that hanging
would be a punishment too mild to fit
their crimes. It was a great effort, and
it certainly attracted attention. At 10
o’clock every copy was sold, and the
cry was for more. My partner was
congratulating me, and I was just, be
ginning to realize that, at last, I had
struck the key-note of journalism that
would be responded to by the intelli
gent public, when Alderman McShane
walked in, knocked down my partner
with a wooden mallet, slammed me un
der the press, poured a can of lye down
my back, and kicked the forms into

but as they did not wish blood on their I
eyes in its mother's arms. She sat
with it in her arms, bemoaning her sad
fate until the ship’s officers commanded
its burial.
The ship carpenter .prepared the
rough box with the weight to sank it to
its ocean bed; tender hands clipped
the golden locks from the little head,
to carry- to the dying father, and what
remained was parted over the pale
brow. No wrappings enfolded it but
the faded calico gown. A poorer neigh
bor spread her white linen handker
chief over its face, and the carpenter
filled up the space with clean pine
shavings, and as he did his work he
groaned and said : “God bless this poor
mother ; God be thanked, the -wee
bairn is safe.” The captain came down
to read the committal service according
to law. He was a liard-faeed, swearing,
blustering Englishman, but beneath had
a manly heart. He said to the carpen
ter, “Screw down the lid.”
“Oh, no, captain,” said the heart-
stricken mother, “let me look at my
baby once more.”
He turned away and waited. Again
he said to the grief-stricken, “I am sor
ry to deprive you of any comfort. God
knows you have few enough, but I
must read the service.”
She lifted herself, and the carpenter
screwed down the lid, amid the sobs of
the poor around her and the tears as
well of those ' happier in this world’s
goods looking down from the upper
deck. The captain read in plaintive
tones the service, and faltered as he
read, “I am the resurrection'and the
life.” Poor man! Why he faltered
there at the anchor of human hope we
could never tell. He took the box to
be lowered into its billowy bed; the
mother shrieked : “O, captain,” and
laid once more hold of her treasure ;
the captain stood waiting for her to
kiss that rough box, and then she said,
in broken tones, “Fadder, 27ly will be
done”—and the little casket dropped
into the Sea, which took it quickly to
its bosom, and a little bubble rose, the
sea’s last messenger to tell us that all
was well.
A church, in a certain town in Ken
tucky, was much divided on the organ
question. One of the members was in
the habit of going into a saloon and
taking a drink whenever he felt like it,
but had a holy horror of an organ in
the church. In a discussion of the
subject he said:
“If you bring that organ in here it
will split the church. I and a number
of others will leave.”
The pastor then spoke, saying :
“I can preach either with or without
the organ in the church. It is a mat
ter of indifference to me. But as the
church is divided about it, and some
say it will drive them out of the church,
I thing the wisest course for us is to put
the organ in the saloon, and see if it
won’t keep our members out of that
place also.”
