The miners' express. (Dubuque, Iowa) 1849-1854, 1854-09-20

EDIroR,AsA.-How very few among the
readers of daily paper, have even, the taintest
conception of the amount Of mental labor and
exertion required TO sustain its interest and
spirit in manner which will make it accept
able to its many sided readers. What various
tastes have to be consulted and cared for, what
prriudices must be coneiliate.i, to satisfy all
those no search its columns Tor amusement
or instruction. Day after day the energies OF
the editor Of daily ,urnal are taxed to inter
est, instruct, and amuse taeir patrons. Day
after day they are forced to discuss questions Of
vital impor ance in politics, religion, literature
and art without even the brielest respite from
this Sysyphus-llke task. II is not SO in the
oihet LIBERAL professions. The lawyer may
prepare himself before entering upon his case !;
the clergyman, for his weekly sermon i; and
even the physician can study and consult au-
tborit,es in regard to the treatment Of a stub
born ma.ady The editor alone has n" time

grateful one. However much he may contrib
ute to the advancement of civilization, and the
enlightenment of the masses, his labor is un-
known and unappreciated. The fever heated,
aching brain, whence flow the living though s
