Journalism as a Business.

Ia commenting upon the failure Of news
paper manager, the st. Louis Globe tells
plain truth in the following words
The business of journalism will continue
to be an inviting field for experiments to
those who haveka large amount of money
and large amount of egotism. A man
who, having edited newspaper until he was
forty, should suddenly announce himself a
lawyer, would be regarded as a fool by the
legal profession and yet we often hear Of
lawyers of forty, making sudden preteusions
to journalism. There is an idea that the
business Of editing requires no apprentice
ship; that editors come forth from law Off
ces and colleges fully armed for the profess
sion, like Palas from the brow Of Jove. 1t
is mistake; there is not in America to-day
n single journalist of national reputation who
has not devoted more time and more hard
work to his profession than, with equal fit
ness aud application, would have made hun
n great lawyer or good successful doctor.
Aud yet every ninety out Of every hundred
men you meet on the street will hesitate
about carrying hod or making a pair OF
shoes, whereas they will probably not be one
in the hundred who cannot, according to his
own judgment, edit any newspaper in the
country better than it is edited, no matter in
what manner or by whom.

We venture to think that some at least, Of
the people of these Now England states will
make u note of the whereabouts of their sem

toni offered by tho presidents gentleman

Cragin, OF New Hampshire, Spraguo and

test one in the strictest sense of the word ;
