EDIToRs OF all drudges in the soci al life
editors are perhapH the Dst poorly paid; q
least, there is no class Of laborers, who. af5
expected to do so many services for others
without compensation. A man pays a lawyer
or physician FIVE dollars for an opinion which
costs five minutes thinking-but for an an
nouncement in newspaper which IS worth
perhaps ten, twenty or more dollars to him,
he grndges anything more than a thank yo,'
and even that sometimes sticks in is throat
THIS is not right AS the New York Tribune
says When the inventor of new hobby
horse wheel, barrow,or ch cken hatcher solici is
notice from journal, asks that the time and
the use OF its columns be distracted from their
proper uses to subserve his personal inter-
ests he is a sponge and sneak il he attempts
so to divert them without payment. Say that,
| all he requires is a careful scrutiny and can
did judgment--since he asks it in the hope
and Tor the sake Of personal gain why should
he not pay for il? Say the judgment may be
adverse and no benefit SO may lawyers on
question or case submitted,to him; but that
is the clients risk, and does not invalldate the
counsel's claim 10 payment We are worn
out with the annoyance Of having our TING
taken from US by PERSONS who seek TO appro-
pirate il to their own use and profit, The
publication Office of newspaper, not its edl-
TORS study, is the place at which application
should he made in reference to business mat
ters. Editors have little time to waste or give
away And here is one who has resolved to
give away much less of our time hereafter
than heretofore .'-Y Yankee Blade. hi ..t
