Editorial Discourtesy.

The Advertiser has made many promises
within the last six months-all dishonored
hitherto. We were to have ON the LIST Of jan
uary, an extra edition issued at noon daily, an
enlarged quarto weekly, a double sheet for both
the daily and tri-weekly every Saturday-in
short the Advertiser was to be published at
all hours OF the day and night, and customers
had only to step into the office, order an extra
edition "cold without as one might order
drink, and be served with neatness and dis
patch. Well, the New Year came, but the
great enterprise WIS postponed to February;
the printing office was TO be moved. February
has come, and is passing, and nothing more is
said of the improvements. Then there was to
be a sort of monthly Advertiser, variously an
nounced as the Thinkers Casket," which is
certainly deep enough, and as the "Atlantic
and Pacific Magazine" which in our humble
opinion is a good deal too broad. This project,
like the rest, miscarried.
But the most remarkable falling off is in the
Advertisers editorial staff. There were, be-
sides the local, sbip-news, and perhaps some
other sub-editors last fall, and not to speak of
the edtol-in-chief, who is temporarily dis
abled, -four names which appeared in the
paper. There was the managing editor, Mr.
Case, the associate editor, Mr.. Pearl, the liter
airy editor, Mr.. Neal and the news edtor-or
according to the felicitous description of the
Advertiser, the "news and miscellaneous edi-
tor" or these four only the latter remains,
and in the temporary absence of his chief
does his endeayor to merit his title of "mis-
cellaneous" editor The contents of the Ad-
vertiser, to use one of Carlyles happy COM
parsons, have been edited of late as carter
edits load of bricks, by dumping them in a
miscellaneous" heap.
Now yesterdays Advertiser, after all this
magnificent promise and meagre iulfillment,
takes occasion to allude to certain changes of
purely business nature in the management
Of the Press. changes which have not affected
its character as newspaper, have not violated
any promise, implied or explicit, to our read
ers, in a style and in language which the
nsages of the profession justify us in calling
inexcusably discourteous if there be any ex-
cuse, it can only be ignorance Of the proprie-
ties OF journalism. $500
