Cos, of a Great Newspaper.


In an interesting paper in Lippincotts
Magazine Melville Phillips figures out
the cost of one of those mammoth jour-
nails of the present that take whole day
TO read them thoroughly. when anybody
does read them
The paper bills are the item of greatest
cost. though it hardly seems SO. A daily
of the largest size. with an average cir
culation of say $4,000, costs $1,000 a
day, or nearly that. Tor paper alone. For
the ten aud twelve page dailies the COM
position bills are $4,000 weekly.
What may be called the brains CON-
ponent of newspaper is, strange to say,
the least item of it's cost. Many q hard
working day and night reporter on
newspaper is not paid weekly as much
by third or fourth as the printer who
weaves into type the spinnings of his
brain. There are journals, highly sue
cessful ones too, that pay their compost
tors four or five thousand dollars week
and their editorial writers less than
hundred. On the other side are journals
that pay as much as $1,000 weekly for
editorial writing. The best paid writer
of this class in the Union is said to be
Mr.. Mayo W. Hazeltine, of The New
York Sun. In connection with this it
may be said that the excellence of The
SUMS editorial page is noted among news
paper people.
Another item of expense unknown to
the old-time journals the telegraph news
service. Papers like the st. Louis Globe
Democrat, Cincinnati Enquirer, Phila-
delphia Press. New York World and sey-
eral other New York papers pay anywhere
from $500 TO 81 200 weekly for telegraph
news from all parts of the world, Some
of the papers that pay the least for ed
itorial writing So to the heaviest expense
for telegraph news. Large newspapers
pay reporters S15 10 :ss225 week, and the
city editor $50 to $50 weekly, and have a
staff of from ten to twenty five report
ers.
Each OF 4ne great newspapers HAS us
own telegraph Office under its own roof,
with from two to five persons who re-
ceive the news, night and day, and edit
it for publication. The syndicate idea is
now utilized to its furthest extreme, both
in news and correspondence, by journals
in different cities clubbing together and
paying in partnership for matter each can
use in its own place. The managing
editor of large journal gets $50 to $50 a
week. It is said that Mr.. John A. Cock
Grill, managing editor of The New York
World, is paid SEC, 900 a year. Summed
all up, our largest newspapers cost a mill
lion dollars annually, and sometimes
more than that.

PROVINCIAL BUILDING

''God has given us this cold Northland, as
you call it, for his purposes, and they involve
character as well as success; yet he has given
us the element of nation. No part of
Canada is really populated yet, New Bruins
wick alone has 1900 square miles of most
fertile virgin land awaiting the settler,
besides all her timber. shipping and fisheries.
We strive to realize the purposes for which
this land was given us
"You say we appear TO you a very serious
people, and think you will find among all
our sects the same feeling, that we are here
for duty rather than happiness. Yes, we are
serious people, and we have set ourselves
seriously to the task Of making great ma

divine command we do not profess to have
outgrown. We have ell the liberty we want,
and a government that responds readily &c

I feel, and those associated with me-that we
can best develop character by maintaining
our present relations; and, after all, charac

foundation for it, the right stock and are on
the right road. / feel to say with the old
poet:
"hIan is the nobler growth our realms supply,
And souls are ripened by our northern sky.
At this point it is fitting to relieve the dull
ness Of purely personal narrative by insert.
ing some racy and entertaining statistics.
Nova Scotia is 275 miles long and 100 miles
wide, III greatest extension; but Cape Breton
is ITO miles in greatest length, which must be
added The whole province has an area OF
20,9O7 square miles, and had, by the last CEN
sus, 40, 572 people. OF these 117,4S7 are
ranked as Roman Catholics, liz, Al as Pres
byterians, 60,255 as Church Of England and
50,7S0 as Methodists The rest are like Billy
Wilson's zotlaves, Hall split up as to ideas,
but their hearts beat true for their native

the province, and 40 ,065 of German blood; Of
the rest, the Scotch elements have majority
In all the province there are but &c, 900 per-
sonsof foreign birth; and by all accounts at
least ten times that many Nova Ecotians are

ably above the average in the United States,

It is a fact that the English holders of

Coiored Orators.

The fact that colored student has
been chosen class day orator of the senior
class at Harvard college has excited gen.
eral comment. The fact that he is very
black, was born slave, and supported
himself by working as q barber while
getting his education has also attracted
it's due share of attention. The negro,
Clement G. Morgan, is graceful and
forceful speaker, and, it is said, would
have been chosen just the same for class
orator if he had been white. Among
the 1900 students at Harvard three are
colored, and it is noticeable that two of
the three have obtained prizes for oratory.
1t seems, indeed, as if the first intel
lectuaI development of the colored race
IN the United States will be in the line
Of oratory. Long ago two. ex-slaves,
Frederick Douglass and Sojourner Truth,
distinguished themselves as speakers
w. E. B. Dubois is the other colored
student at Harvard who carried of a
prize for oratory. Both expect to be
lawyers in the south.
Fervid specimens of negro oratory
were uttered on the day Of fasting and
prayer recently appointed BY the colored
race for the delirerance Of their people
from outrages in this Union. Rev. w.
b. johnson, negro preacher in WASH
ington, said his people were fast learn
ing the lesson Of organization from the
Irishman and the socialist, and twenty
years from now they would not be the
docile beings Of today. Another coloredi
minister, Rev. George Lee, said the me-
groes must take their rights in their own
hands and maintain them. a signii-
cant utterance was this: 1.-THE civil
rights bill always has been failure, #
i, useless to seek redress from congress

At the late annual convention of street
railway presidents their executive com
mittee reported the almost total collapse
of the organization known as the Knights
of Labor, at least SO far as attempting to
dominate railway companies was con-
perned. General Master Powderly, few-
ever, says the order has been gaining
rapidly during the last year, and is in
better condition financially than it ever
was before. Secretary Hayes, Of the
general executive board of the Knights,
says there are 100000 members il the
order still. The editor Of the paper
called Knights of Labor declares there
are less than 100000 in good standing.
Perhaps he makes up the number from
his subscription lists.
