DOMAIN on Country Editors.

JONAH OLA OOuntTy CultOrS'
The following are extracts from a re-
cen article from the pen of Colonel
DOMAIN, on the country editor:
"A country editor! Everybody's
pecking-block, scapcgoat, and sway
backed pack-mule. Ten thousand times
one-miliinnth rather let one be a boot
black, chimney sweep, penitentiary bird.
or congressional delegate be mud clerk
on a coal barge, deck hand in a tripe
factory, engineer of a one donkey.power
canal boat, dairy maid with an aged OK
and two he goats as the whole stock in
trade, or servant girl in a poor house or
an orphan asylum be a stock gamble,
railroad director, president Of a sausage
machine, rag vender, charcoal brawler,
governor, or darkey preacher with a
battered stove-pipe hat be anything,
everything, but a rural editor, a pro-
vincial journalist.
And yetthere are victims, selfdoomed,
Eve ready to sacrifice themselves Oh
the ink-smeared altar Of endless and
thankless drudgery. Scores of them are
constantly stepping forward and offer
ing their accommodating trousers-gables
to the public boot toe in every part of
the country. but especially in Dakota.
This grand territory-grander in its ter
ritorial swaddling clothes than half the
full fiedged states of the Union-sprouts
newspapers and new editors as prolific
ally as it does everything else worth
growing, and some things not worth it.
In 1880 there were but nine daily and
thirty-tive weekly papers in all Dakota.
To-day there are over three hundred,
more than fifty Of them dailies, an in
crease of nearly eight hundred per cent
in five years. They spring up like
muchrooms, in a night, and are as vigor-
Gus in appearance as young cedars of
Lebanon, or frisky journalistic bulls Of
Bashan in high grass. Though their
English, now and then, falls slightly be-
low the classic standard of the Sun,
(which shines for all" the tall-towered
Tribune, or the heightened Times, they
are far ahead, geographically, editori-
ally. overwhelmingly and boomer
istically, of papers a hundred years Old
in many of the big towns Of other
regions and the names of Edwards Of
the Fargo Argus. Lounsberry and jewell
of the Bismarck Tribune, Winship of
the Grand Forks Herald, Murphy of
