Sale or the Register Newspaper

SAFE OIL the Register Newspaper
1t was reported yesterday in the city
that the Register newspaper had been sold
by Mr.. BAKER, tho proprietor, to a joint
stock company, for price somewhere
about $4,000. The company was orga-
nized two or three months since and has
been quietly working up stock, with
view of starting new paper. The prime
difficulty In the way Of this was the i'm.
possibility Of getting a telegraphic report,
the reports Of the only two news asso.
Citations belonging exclusively to the exist
ing papers.
The price paid may seem to some
large one, but 1t Is rather under than over
the real value of the property. 1t is only
within few years that the value Of sue.
cessful newspapers has come to be gene
rally understood and appreciated. Within
lew months several sales have taken
place which show this appreciation. A
part Of the Toledo Blade sold at the rate Of
100000; the Indianapolis Journal at the
rate Of $4,000; the Cincinnati Times
brought $1S5,0OO; the 81. Louis Demo.
erat brought $456,0OO.
The New York Times and Tribune are
valued at over a million each, and the
Herald at three times that. The Wash
ington Star sold five years ago for $780,.
900. The Washington Chronicle, not then
considered paying institution, was sold
(the paper alone, without Sunday edition
and without job Office, for $4,000. The
Chicago Tribune is worth q million.
About month ago Governor BRoss, who
owns fourth oi it, was under the weath.
or, and was complaining to a friend Of
his poverty. Governor" said that friend,
"sinCe you arc so poor, I'll take your in
tercSt in the Tribune and give you $780,
600 for it." Gov. BRoss got better at
once. Mr.. FULTON, Of the Baltimore
American.said some time since that his
newspaper paid him better salary than
the President Of the United States got;
and We do not doubt 1t. The Baltimore
Sun Is also very valuable and proflta.
BILE paper. Mr.. ABEL, the proprietor, is
worth several millions. Another Of
the most valuable papers in the
country is the Philadelphia Ledger. 1t
pays Mr.. CHILDs at least 100000 year.
The New York Herald is said to pay
quarter oi million annual profit.
Not only is the journalistic profession
growing in the way of legitimate business
enterprise, but it is coming to be the step.
ping stone of political distinction and
preferment-th latest illustration Of
which is the nomination Of a distinguished
editor at Cincinnati the other day for
President Of the United States.
What is known as the "fourth estate'
in England bids fair soon to be the first
estate in this country ii it is not such al.
ready.

OIL Works Burned at Cleveland.

CLEVELAND, o., May 5.-About FIVE
o'clock last evening a fire broke out in
one Of tho agitators Of the Standard Oil
Company's works, situated a mile and a
halt from this city. In few minutes
their stills were on fire, and their con.
tents escaping ran down the hill into the
river, which was soon covered with
burning oil and oil barrels. The Fire
Department could do little or nothing
toward extinguishinG the flames, and df.
rected their efforts toward saving such
portions of the works as were near the
burning oil. About four thousand barrels
Of distillate and refined oil were burned,
and the refinery damaged to the amount
Of $4,000. Total loss about $4,000

How the Nominations are Received.
Just now the inquiry uppermost in oil
minds Is, what Is thought by the country
generally Of the Cincinnati nomination. I
To answer the inquiry as far as possible,
we give room this morning to several
columns Of dispatches from all parts ot
the country, by perusing which the intel.
ligent reader will get a pretty fair average
OF popular opinion, and will learn that
while differently received in different
quarters, Mr.. GREELEY's nomination Is an
event Of first class importance and may
lead to momentous consequences.
The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1872-05-06

"TuE fourth estate" has been specially
honored by the choice Of tho Cincinnati
Convention. Mr. GREELEY, the Presi.
dental nominee. has won as an editor the
distinguished place he holds in the esteem
ofthe country. Gov. Brown, the nominee
for Vice President, was for several years
editor oi the Missouri Democrat, and in It's
columns laid the foundations ol his pres.
ent eminence. The "Pen Is" said to be
"mightier than the Sword" Whether 1t
will prove SO in this Presidential contest
remains to be seen.
