Running q Newspaper.

How few people seem to know what Il costs
to run q newspaper. This is an ejaculation
often heard in newspaper counting rooms e..
ter the departure Of somebody who has tried
to conhscate paper or get in puff Of some
body on the strength Of old friendship or
some imagination equally as strong. BY
some uuaccountable misapprehension Of facts
there is a large class of people in the world
who thinks that it costs little or nothing to
run newspaper, and that il they buy a copy
from q newsboy, when too far to come and
beg one, they are regular patrons and entitled
TO unlimited favors.
Men call every day at newspaper Offices to
get copy of the daily paper, Just from press
for nothing, who would never dream Of beg
ging pocket handkerchief from dry goods
store, an apple from fruit stand, or a piece
OF candy from confectioner, even upon the
plea of old acquaintance or having bought
something before. One is not much, but q
hundred day amounts 10 something in tho
course of time. But this is u small drain CON-
pared with the free advertising a newspaper
Is expected to do. Some men who have paid
two dollars at an early period of life for an
advertisement worth four or five, appear to
think they are stockholders in the establish
ment for eternity. They demand the publi-
cation of all marriage and funeral notice es,
obituaries and family episodes for the next
forty years gratis. Speak Of pay and they
grow indignant. Don't | patronize your
pnpert' Yes; but you received the worth o {
your money for what you paid" But" says
the patron, ''it will not cost you anything to
put this ill.," which is just rs ridiculous as to
ask a man TO grind your AK on his grind
stone. and grnciOusly tell him that in won't
cost him cent. II takes money TO run "a
newspaper as we'll AS any other kind of busi-
ness. and no paper will succeed financially
that carries a dead-head system. Any men,
ton OF the peoples affairs that they are an1-
ious to see in print, is worth paying for, and
when printed is generally as any investment
OF the same amount.
The newspaper business is very e1acting on
all connected with 1t, and the pay is compar-
ativciy small; the proprietors risk more mon
ey for smaller profits. and the editors and re-
porters and printers work harder and cheaper
than tue same number of men in any other
profession requiring the given amount of in
telligencc and trimming and drudgery The
life has its charms and its pleasant associa-
tons, scarcely known by the outside world;
but 1t has its earnest work and anXieties and
hours Of exhaustion which likewise, are not
known to those who think the business all
fun. The idea that newspaperdOm is
charmed circle where the favored members
live life of ease free from care and go TO the
circus at night on u free ticket, and TO the
Springs on free pass in tho Summer, is all
idea which we desire to explode practically
and theoretically. Business is business and
the journal that succeeds is the one that is
run on a square business footing, the same as
banking or bull lding bridges. keeping hotel or
running a livery stable.-.Nsmphis ArdLlnche.
