THE SCISSORS EDITOR.

Z Some people estimate the value of
a newspaper and the talent of its cd
itor by the quality of original mat
ter. It is comparatively an easy task
for q frothy writer to pour out daily
a column of words-words upon any
and all subjects. 1lisideas may flow
in one weak, washy, everlasting
flood, and the command Of his Ian
guage may enable him to string them
together like banches of onions. and
yet his paper may be meagre and
poor concern. Indeed, the mere
writing part of editing paper is
but small portion of the work. The
care, the time employed in selecting,
is far more important, and the tact
of a good editor is better shown by
his selections than anything else; and
that. we know, is half the battle.
But, as we have said, and editor
ought to be estimated, and his labor
understood by the general conduct o;
his paper lis tone, its uniform,
consistent course, its aims, its man.

ty. 70 preserve, these as they
should be preserved is enough to oc-

general supervision Of the newspa-

tors have to encounter, the wonder
is how they find time to write at all.

work a constant reduction of the

coin to meet the demands ON the
Treasury for the redemption of its
notes, thereby diminishing the
amount of bonds needed for this pur-
pose. All taxes, after redemption
begins, should be paid in com or
