II should be more and more evident to the
Premier that solution Of the Irish question
which will satisfy at once the Wing landed
interest and the Parnellite members Is utter
ly impracticable. A conflict must come, and
II the Ministry are to fall, 1t is Of vital mo-
ment that they should be found on the right
side In the hour Of their overthrow. In the
event Of new general election. tho friends Of
Mr.. PARNELL are well nigh certain to con-
troll 70 instead Of 80 seats, while 1t was
demonstrated two years ago that the 200
English Radicals represented In the Minis
try by Mr.. CHAMBERLAIN and Sir CHARLES
dixie constitute the growing element Of the
Liberal party. The future, at least, is theirs,
and 1t Is to be hoped that Mr.. GLADSTONE
will now decide irrevocably to link his fate
with theirs and confront the hazard Of tenn
porary disaster, rather than waste his ener-
giles in the vain effort to allay the suspicious
and animosity Of the landed interest

Let the People Of Iowa be Thorough.

Iowa has now determined to 60 further In
the attempt to prevent men from using In
toxicatlng drinks than any other civilized
community has ever undertaken to go. She
has Incorporated the principle In her Consti-
tuition. No intoxicating liquor can be made
md none can be sold for drinking purposes
In that State without violating the funda-
mental law. Other commonwealth have
been content with prohibltory statutes; Iowa
now has q prohibitory Constitution.
Let us hope that this solemn rule will be
enforced in earnest, 80 that the experiment
may be fairly tried OF q great community
which absolutely dispenses with alcoholic
stimulation. Hitherto and everywhere people
have been able to procure such stimulants in
spite OF all obstacles; but Iowa is a thorough
Going State made after the genuine old
Puritanic pattern. 1t concerns her credit
and the mental peace OF her inhabitants that
there shall be no evasion and no fraud about
the execution Of the constitutional bulwark
and safeguard which she has set up against
alcohol under every guise.
1t has been said that when people are de-
Aied alcohol they resort to very pernicious
substitutes, such, for instance, as opium.
IOWA should guard this point also, while she
carries through the uncompronf6ing and
complete exclusion Of every kind Of ardent
spirits which her Constitution prescribes.

He Wants to be a Grea, Editor.

young man Of twenty-five writes us
from the office Of Virginia newspaper, of
which he is tho local editor, to ask our ad-
vice as to the means he should use for
further advancing himself In his business
Starting as boy in the establishment nine
years ago, he has worked up to where he
now is; but he Wishes to climb higher.
1t Is very proper and creditable ambi-
ton. His paper Is published In small
community, the local affairs Of which, We
infer, arc not apt to be of high importance
He may think that he Is capable OF writing
about things which require more intellect
ual power, and OF influencing the opinions
OF many more people than those who read
his village items and paragraphs. More
over, we observe from the heading OF his
lettor sheet that he is only one Of those who
are living off tho little paper. There Ia n
proprietor then comes the editor in chief,
and tho lOcal editor follows To support
them all well, the paper must mako more
money than usually falls TO the share OF a
village journal.
These are the questions our editorial
brother in Virginia asks OF US, and very
comprehensive questions they are:
81 Which 10 the nearest and Surest way of reaching
prominence In journalism
- The way OF overcoming the dihc ghea incident to
that protessionf"
There Is no near and sure way by which
our friend can reach the prominence no de-
sres. For young man Of twenty-five who
has been In country newspaper Office from
boyhood the path ls long. and the difficulties
are many. though perhaps not insurmount-
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1882-07-09

able. The most that tho beet-equipped, the
most powerful, the most versatile, and the
most brilliant writer's for newspapers can do
lie to mako good salaries. And, 30 far from
being prominent, comparatively few OF
them are known to the public. A newspaper
office is a poor place in which to crafty lit
erary vanity. But flrst-rate work never goes
a-begging there, provided the journal Ia
well edited. To be recognized, IL doee not
need that the writer should DO prominent.
The work tells It's own story, and II he keeps
up It's production the man will be able to
make 1t pay him well, as salaries go, and in
comparison with the prices usually given
for expert work.
So far as gaining stipend as high as Is
customarily paid by O newspaper goes, the
man may DO "prominont in journalism"
But he is not the editor OF the newspaper, and
does not direct its course. Ho is q person
employed, and, though a flrst-rate writer, he
may DO entirely unfit for an editor. The
ability to write we'll Ia one thing, and the
ability to edit Is very different thing, as
many newspaper writer's have found out
after mortifying failures In our anonymous
journalism the personality OF the writer ia
very little. Tho paper Is everything.
Our young Virginia friend, however, is at
very good school IN country newspaper
Office. There he may learn more about his
business as whole than he would got in any
single department Of great journal for
which he would DO fitted. Let him first
make himself prominent in his village. II
he has the stuff OF great editor in him, he
can give his little paper power which will
be recognized beyond his neighborhood and
beyond his State. 1t is entirely possible that
the ablest writing in the country--writing
which would command the attention OF tho
world-should be done by the local editor Of
village paper in Virginia. But tho writing
must be really great
