A CHEERFUL GROwL.-The Cincinna-
ii Times has a good, honest, "strate-
for'ed" growl, and we copy it. We like
wise approve it. 1t is about the treat
ment of reporters, the men who do more
for the speech-making, meeting-holding
people, than they do for themselves by
long shot, and take their pay in the
article known as mo thanks" Here is
what the Times says:
After all the improvements that have
been made in railroads, telegraph, nav
igation, architecture, mechanics, and
the arts, and the mammoth strides
which science has accomplished; when
school houses are thickly planted all
over the country, and newspapers, the
great popular teachers, are brought to
every door, it appears singular to US
that there should be no improvement in
the treatment of a reporter. When we
first began to report for a newspaper,
which was great, great many years
ago, we had to accommodate
ourselves the best way we
could atpublic gatherings, of which we
were expected to give a detailed re-
port, and we have to doit yet. If there
is public meeting, place is provided
for the eloquent chairman, the august
secretary, and various other auguSterS,
who desire to be prominently associa-
ted with the occasion; but the reporter,
to whom they look to spread their pro-
ceedings before an eager and admiring
world, finds no place prepared for him,
and he must either bring his own chair
and table, or take his chances with the
crowd.
Although we have sometimes known
an exception to the above rule at public
meetings, we cannot recall an instance
in our reportorial experience when any
regard was paid to the convenience of
reporting at banquet further than
providing the reporter with o ticket,
which many consider to be comforting
very great favor, and perhaps sending
him glass of sour wine.
