ago had been one of the eighteen proprie
tors of the Daily Globe which recently sus
pended in San Francisco; and gave full
description of it's inside workings and man

promise that no use should be made of the
information until he had reached Salt Lake
where he now is.
THE JOURNALISTIC VENTURE.
was founded by the printers who refused
some months ago to accept a reduction OF
wages on the Chronicle Charles De Young
reduced the wages from so to 45 cents per
thousand ems and in consequence a num-
Der of printers left his employ and started
paper of their own called the Globe. It
J gave fair promise of success and to all out
ward appearance was a well managed and
we'll edited newspaper. Its main purpose
was to kill the Chronicle and the enemies of
the latter paper 'stood in" quite literally
! at the start Let the story, howev er, be
| told in the language of the narrator.
MULTIPLICITY OF BOSSES.
"Who ran the concern? %
81 did for one," said the wandering
print. ''Then there was Lynch and Brooks
and Wood and all the balance. When the
force were all on deck it had eighteen boss
es beside the reporters and editors.
"Who edited the paper?''
Il did-and the rest of the gang. We all
took hand. Some man would be setting
up an article and see some friend given a
DEAL He would walk up to the imposing
stone and yell out, What in blazes is this?
Then the boys would all quit work and col
lect around the stone. Some would think
that the man the article went after was a
perfect gentleman and the rest would think
he was "a old snoozer. Then We would
row over the matter half an hour or so and
pretty soon couple would Jeff to see
whether the item went in Or not. Each day |
the editors and reporters got their instruc-
tons from eighteen of the regular bosses
and their assistants. I kept track of the
regulars but split on the subs Each man
had policy. had two. Some had more.
No particular policy, but general sliding
scale to fit any circumstances.
INITIATION OF THE GLOBE.
"Did the Globe roll along pretty we'll at
first? ~
''Yes, it swelled up big. Subscriptions
came in lively, ads. were brisk and for a
spell the great question was what to do
with so much money. We talked of buying
a building to move into. Presently, how
ever, the expenses began to chaw us up.
Then it wasn't so much question what to
10 with the money, but where to get it.
Some of the boys were sticking type at the
Ease and some were rustling about on the
outside. Somehow the outsiders seemed

han the insiders. Curious, wasn't it i? I
guess we galley slaves at the case didn't
lear over 81 week.
POLITICAL EXPERIENCE.

"Oh yes, we ran most of the politics there
or q while. We had Democrats, Republi-
ans, Greenback and kearney men on the I.
managerial force. We didn't agree for
7hile, but compromised on a sort of Dem
cratic, Kallock, Kearney platform. The
Democratic Central Committee gave US q
twenty-five hundred dollars in political I
rinting and owed as about two thousand '
