Fun to Run a Newspaper.

The people who really know how to run a newspaper right you know, are as numerous as the sands on the sea shore, but for some unac- countale reason they never get hold of a newspaper to run. It's really a great deal of fun to run news
 paper. The eyes of the whole com munity are watching the editor, and his actions, his business and his paper are criticised to an extent al- most incredible. If he happens to go away from town on business he is accused of fneglectlng his business and riding out his pass" If he never goes away he is said to be too "close to go away to learn any thing for the benefit of his town, be- cause he might miss a nickel at home.' If he works all day in his office and spends his evenings at his books and getting up his ''copy," he is called distant. cold and not in sympathy with the piblic inter- ests of his town, because he is never around" If he is around" hunt
 ing locals and visiting business men, he is ''Iazy and shiftless and undeserving of support. because he can never be found in his office" If he misses an item, the one inter eSted in that particular item says his paper "never has anything in it." If he has the courtesy to give the ". c. T. U. or church and tenn perance people a small part of his space ''he is a temperance crank and fanatic" If he thinks it is better for the general welfare to li cense the liquor traffic instead of prohibiting it, Che is an odious wh.skyite." If he publishes inn partially views on both sides ofgreat questions, he is accused by each side with favoring the other, and 'stop my paper is the nightmare of his dreams.

A San Francisco dispatch of the 5th, says the Chronicle tomorrow will print a statement to the effect that Win. B. Tascott, the murderer of Amos c Shell, the Chicago bank CT is now in Canton, China. The discovery of his present residence is said to have been secured from a woman who arrived from Chicago about two months ago. and who claims to be the deserted wife of Myron Gantz, who was formerly connected with a Chicago paper :; she lived with Tascott as his wife. The Chronicle reporter represent ing himself as an advance agent, made himself exceedingly agree able to Mrs. Gantz who finally grew friendly enough to say it was she who aided Tascott to escape from Chicago. She says Tascott was secreted in her house for two days, and then for two weeks in a house of her selection. She then assisted him to reach St. Paul, and about a month after the murder he went west by rail to Portland, Oregon, and from there to British Colum- bia. A few days later he sailed on a Canadian Pacific steamer to China. Mrs. Gantz claims to have received letter from him while in China.
