country ; therefore* be it
Resolved, that as representa
tives of the business interests of
St. Louis, we hereby earnestly ap
prove of the just and conserva
tive course thus far marked out
by President Hayes, and that our
senators in congress be urged to
rise above all party feeling, as
patriotism alone should govern
their actions.
number of the most prominent
business men of £c city have
united in a call for a meeting at
the cotton exchange to-morrow
afternoon to endorse the policy
of President Hayes indicated to
ward the south by the appoint
ment of ex-Senator Key in his
cabinet and his inaugural address.
THE SITUATION.
The presidential drama is lite
rally and figuratively played out.
The rest will be mere form, and
the thoughts of the country
have already turned from specu
lation as to which political party
will control the executive policy
of the next four years to the in
quiry whether the Republican
party, with its new lease of exec
utive power, will place itself un
der the influence and direction of
its conservative members, or pur
sue the same unreasoning, reck
less and unjust course that has
characterized its administration
for eight years past, and which in
November brought down upon it
the condemnation of a large ma
jority of the voters of the coun
try.
The Republican party can ill
afford to ignore the rebuke it re
ceived at the polls. That rebuke
can not be measured in its force
merely by the numbers of the
majority against it, for it must be
remembered, as it always will
be remembered, that no party in
this country ever went into a
contest with a more perfect elec-
.tion machinery, or with a greater
number of election appliances at
its command. In spite of the
great disadvantages under which
.the Democratic party Tailored in
Sts contest with official organiza
tion possessed of the prestige of a
long line of successes, that party,
through the free votes of the peo
ple, rolled up a majority of a
•quarter of a million of votes a-
Igainsl the Republican candidate.
Neither Mr. Hayes nor his party
can overlook the fact of this re
buke; and Mr. Hayes, in enter
ing upon his administration, will
do well for himself and his party
if he will profit by the fact that
he can never forget that this same
popular majority feel not duly
the disappointment of defeated
hopes, but the irritation those
naturally feel who are conscious
that they have been cheated out
*of what is justly theirs.
The majority of the men of the
couAtry are not in a humor to ob
•serve the new administration with
.an indulgent eye. With this pop
mlar majority naturally indispos
ed to a favorable opinion of him,
\with the House of Representa-
Itives in politics against him, and
'with the Senate so near a tie that
Sts political compaction can yet
be hardly determined with posi
tive certainty, Mr. Hayes will be
gin his career as president under
peculiar and pressing disadvanta
ges. But every man who loves
his country, and who really de
sires the prosperity and happmeg,
.of the people of every sections
will hope that the new president
after March 4, will adopt and pur
sue an executive policy that will
advance the interests of the coun
try and which will commend itself
generally to all people, It would
.be a poor revenge indeed that
. could be found in a disgraceful
. administration failure that would
bring misery to the people and
• disaster to their material inter
ests.
For our part we can say with
perfect sincerity that we hope
the incoming administration will
give satisfaction to the people,
and especially to the unfortunate
ly-situated people of the South.—
What the South most needs and
most desires is good government,
and merely to strengthen that
political party which we support
we could not hope that the South
may be still longer subjected to
the burdens and the miseries un
der which it has suffered for so
many years, If Mr. Hayes inau
gurates anew policy, a policy of
fairness, honesty and conciliation,
it will be proof that we haye
reached when po
litical j find it expedient to
seek power through evidences of
t he excellence of the government
which they administer, and not
through force, corruption and
trickery.
It must be confessed that the
prospect, viewed in the light of
the long or the immediate past,
is not so promising that we can
regard it with any assurance of
realization. But it is better to
hope than to be cast down. It
is better not to anticipate and
discount evil. It is better to make
the most of what we have than
to sit down idly and bemoan what
we have not. If a robber knocks
any one of us down and takes
from us our purse, it would be the
very reverse of manly to continue
prone in the dust wailing over
our loss. Far better to jump to
our feet , brush the dust from our
clothes, wash and plaster our
wounds, and start on a fresh ef
fort to fill our purse once more.
Such is about the condition of the
majority who have been so adroit
ly deprived of what belonged to
them. But this is no time for
wailing, and we ought to be up
and doing, hoping for the best
from those in official power, and
seeking to restore confidence and
give prosperity to every business
interest of the country.— Courier

GIA NT .lOU RNALISM.
ANOTHER DAY WITH THE COLLOSSAL
INK-SLINGERS OF GOTHAM.
The two ugliest papers in the
United States are, size considered,
the most •profitable. They are
the Philadelphia Ledger and Bal
timore Sun. They are each of
them much smaller than the Con
stitution, closely printed, solid,
heavy looking, with a half column
of edtorial, and about seven col
umns of reading matter a day.—
And yet each of them have made
fortunes for their owners. The
Sun has paid M. Abell
THIRTEEN MILLIONS OF DOLLARS,
at least he is worth that much,
and has made it all from his fat
Duteliy looking paper. He is the
richest journalist in the United
States.
■^Timl
concili-
rrnal feeling
The Ledger has paid Mr. Childs
some seven or eight millions, and
clears him probably a quarter of
a million a year- He, has the
finest newspaper office in Ameri
ca, and sells 90,000 copies of his
paper a day. It has often puz
zled journalisis to know why
those poorly .edited papers, with
only a half-dozen columns of
reading matter, should have
thousands of readers, where
BRILLIANT PAPERS WITH FULL READ
ING COLLUMNS
could only get hundreds. The
answer is plain, and may be made
in one word —reliability. The
Sun and Ledger are absolutely
reliable. They not only never
go willfully wrong, they never
make a mistake.
The Evening Star, of Washing
ton, is another such paper. It js
smaller than the Columbus Times,
and pays a clear profit of $30,000
to $50,000 a year. It has a circu
lation of 17,000 to 20,000; all in
the city of Washington. It car
ries about thirteen columns of ad
vertisements and seven columns
ofreading matter. It sells for
three cents. It really looks as if
these little papers, full of meat
and juice, are just the thing for
this bustling, hurried age, The
man of to-day wants his pews
packed in a nut shell, so that he
can pick it out in a hurry.
An additional proof of the suc
cess that attends “a little paper
well filled,” the tremendous
CIRCULATION OF THE EVENING
IJSDjmtAM
testifies. Ttys paper is issued at
2, 4 and 5 each afternoon. Its
sworn average circulation for each
day of last w eek was 52,823. —
On the afternoon of the 9th of
November it circulated 123,000
copies. It is an evening edition
of the Herald, in which that giant
machine throws off its surplus
energy. The Daily News, Ben
Wood’s paper, a mere thumb-rag,
and selling for one cent, disposes
of 128,000 copies a day, so he
swears at the head of his columns.
THE WAR OF THE SUN ON THE
TRIBUNE
has knocked the spots out of that
venerable sheet, of which one
wit playing on the statement it
carries at its masthead “Founded
by Horrace Greeley’’ lias added
“Foundered by Jay Gould.”—
The sledge-hamn>er pgristftney
with which Mr. Dana, the best
fighter on the press, has accused
the Tribune of being under
Gould’s dictatorship, and hence
a mere jobbing machine, has
driven off thousands of patfon’g ,
THE FIELD AND FIRESIDE.
and the paper is staggering heav
ily. The truth is, the Tribune has
lost the vigor that it had under
Greeley, and has subsiituted a
smart, pretty culture that does
not count for much. The Tribune
pays no dividends, is in debt for
its home and will doubtless suffer
some change before long.
THE SUN ITSELF IS MAKING MONEY,
and has half promised to give us
a novel venture in journalism,
viz: publishing a daily paper
without advertisements. The
Sun even now relies for its chief
revenue on its enormous circula
tion, which equals if it does not
surpass that of the Herald. It
carries only four or five columns
of advertisements, and Mr. Dana
has expressed the belief that the
exclusion of all advertisements,
except the amusement notices,
would result in an increase of cir
culation that would more than
compensate their loss. It is quite
possible that such an experiment
will be made. An example has
been furnished for it in weekly
journalism by the Ledger.
THE HERALD AS AN ILLUSTRATED
PAPER.
Speaking of illustrated papers,
1 am reminded that the Herald
used to carry some astounding
pictures. On one occasion it pub
lished a miserable wood cut of
the funeral of president Jackson.
It made a great boast of its pic
ture. A rural paper charged,
however, that the same picture
had already done service as Gen
eral Harrison’s funeral, Queen
Victoria’s corronation and t lie
water works’ celebration. To
offset which, Mr. Bennett publish
a card from the wood engraver
certifying that it was a fresh cut.
NO COMIC PAPER IN AMERICA.
It is quite notorious now that
no comic paper can succeed per
manently in this country. A
hundred trials have been made
—all to fail in the most ignomin
ious manner. I notice in the
tabulated statement of the re
ceipts from circulation of news
papers in New York in 1869,
from which I have quoted already,
the “Funny Fellow” had an enor
mous circulation, its receipts go
ing over $400,0(90 a year. It died
in ’7l however. The best comic
paper ever published in America
was “Punchinello” which was
started with $50,000, and employ
ed the best humorist writers and
caricaturists. It lived about one
year, eat up its $50,000, and per
ished ingloriously.
The paragraphers kill the com
ic papers. There is hardly a dai
ly journal of any note 'ip this
country but what has on its staff
a smart and witty writer, whose
column of paragraphs is equal to
the brightest things in Punch, -r-
Tlius every reader of a daily pa
per gets his humorous reading
oyer his morning coffee, out of his
morning paper, and has no need
of a weekly comic journal; Ip
England it is quite different.—
The morning papers never have
a particle of wit in them. The
Times or Telegraph never pub
lished a joke, Hence when the
English want a laugh they arc
driven perforce to Punch to get
it.
THE SALARIES OF NEW YORK
EDITORS
are good, though by no means
princely. Hie leading editors of
the Herald get from $4,000 to SB,-
000 a year, the managing editor
getting, itis said, SI,OOO a month.
The editors of the other paper
get from $2,000 to SO,OOO, Mr.
Reed, of the Times, getting $lO,
000. The reporters are, many of
them, paid by the piece, the sta
ted salaries railing from S2O to
S7O a week. They have, howev
er, mere stated duties to perform,
which leaves them time for other
work, I should say that a capa
ble young man,disposed to work,
and facile with his pen, might
easily make anywhere from S3O
to S7O a week for bis first year in
New York, averaging certainly
SSO a week.
A REGULAR BONANZA
is open to a clever caricaturist.—
A first-class workrnap of’ this sort
can make a fortune. Tlios. Nash
gets $12,000 a year from Harper,
and makes as much more by his
outside work. Mr. Taylor on <the
Graphic has pleasant and light
work at $4,209 a year, >vith plenty
of leisure for casual works. I
doubt if there is a single artist
whose sketches are admitted in
to the papers whose income does
not run over $5,000. All that is
needed is simply to once get an
opening.

THE POWER OF THE SUER
MAN FAMILY.
Reporter—Won’t the country
be satisfied with John Sherman
in the treasury?
Mr. Bigelow—-The nomination
of Sherman for the treasury means
Gen. Sherman for the succession
in 1880. It was John’s intention
and expectation that the general
would have been nominated in
place of Hayes, but he covered
his potatoes a little too deep; they
did not sprout till after the con
vention at Cincinnati.
Reporter—l don't understand
what you mean by planting his
potatoes too deep.
Mr. Bigelow—lt is not necessa
ry that you should at present—
I don’t suppose Hayes would un
derstand it either. I don’t sup
pose. he has any id hat in put
ting Sherman into the treasury he
is uniting the purse and the sword
in practically the same hands and
thereby rendering “Returning
Boards,” which are just now un
popular, no longer necessary.—
Under such an arrangement they
can be made the scrapegoat
for the sins of the last administra
tion and driven into the wilder
ness, to the infinite edification of
those dear old ladies who delight
in holding emergency conferen
ces and are always curing the po
litical diseases of the country by
sounding manifestoes.
