atory 9 ■on by such an Burse as will People order and nt to each and tlirouphou^^H adiniui'trat i^K guarantee to t 9 proper governs every section , our common 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 Journal. 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. 11. W. G. in Constitution. Marshall Jewell, ex-postmast er general, congratulates Judge Key and the country on Key’s nomination. 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.
