TTHE FISH COMMISSION
announces that new fish
The Sunday herald and weekly national intelligencer., 1891-02-15
The Managers of Newspapers.

N. Y. Cor. Lowell Critic.
Whatever measure of success may be at
tained by newspaper is generally credited by
the public to the able editor; If, on the con-
trary, the paper fails or drags out miserable
existence the failure is ascribed to bad business
management. Between the able editor and
the humble publisher it has been for years a
game of ''heads win, tails you lose," 80 far as
reputation has been concerned.
The man who sits up stairs and thinks
thoughts and scratches them down on pad
with a stub pencil takes all the credit, while
the publisher who sells the paper and hustles
sordid money grubber. Yet If the publisher
fails to sell the papers printed, or neglects to
secure sufficient advertising, or does not make
satisfactory arrangements with the printers, or
slips up in any of his multifarious duties, the
thinker of thoughts can cogitate until his gray
matter becomes mushy.
People are beginning to realize that the
genius which evolves learned editorials on the
Mckinley bill and constructs pyramidal head
lines over news sensation must be supple
mented by an equally pronounced genius in a
different line, If the public are to be induced to
read the editorials and the headlines, and the
paper is to be success. Those who are more
intimately connected with journalism have dis
covered that while the peculiar quality of brains
which line the skull of a successful editor are
not too plentiful, the combination which goes
to make up the successful publisher is very rare
indeed.
In other words, the business end of journalism
is coming to the front as a distinct profession,
and it's value is being appreciated. The pub
Usher must be something more than an ordinary
business man; he must be endowed with the
journalistic instinct and know the value of a
dollar as WELL He must keep a close watch
upon the public fancy, and know how to sell the
paper which the editor makes,
II the compositors and pressmen strike at
midnight it is the publishers business to see
that the paper comes out on time. If the edi-
tor gets into a libel suit the publisher must pay
the LAWYERS and possibly the damages, and in
good many cases the publisher must hire the
editors. He must be active in Turing the elu-
| sive dollar from the pocket of the advertiser,
| and he must be as stiff as iron with the adver-
tising agent who wants to cut the rates in half
| and then take so per cent commission on the
| balance. He must see to the credit of adver-
| tisers, and he must be as careful that he has
| every advertisement which appears in the col
umns of his hated rival, as the news editor up
stairs is not to be beaten on piece of news.
II any one thinks that the publisher has sine
| cure he should try 1t for a week. 1t would
materially change his ideas.

The Circus.

Wallace & Co.'s combined circus and
menagerie gave exhibitions here yes
terday and attracted good-sized audi
ences, especially the performance in
the afternoon, the canvas then being
quite full. So far as the ring perform
ances are concerned, no show exhibit
ing here ever gave better satisfaction.
MANY Of the feats were truly marvellous
and thrilling, not few being altogether
new and startling in their character.
The menagerie, though not large, con-
tanned some fine specimens of the ami
NAL kingdom, the lions, elephants and
tigers, not forgetting the number of
baby lions, being particularly worthy
of mention. Everything about the
show bears the appearance of good
management and prosperous business.
We are under obligations to Willis
Cobb. press manager, for courtesies ex-
tended those connected with THE Re-
PUBLICAN office. The show makes it's
stand at Oconomowoc to-day. 1t took
a RIM of seventy five miles to this place,
performing Monday at Neenah.

The Cream Citys, of Milwaukee,
played their third game of the season
mere last Sunday, and were defeated in
eleven innings by a score of s to Z. The
Schiller & Quentmeyers played agreat
uphill game, tieing the score in the
ninth inning and winning it in the
eleventh on a single by D1ekoff, two
sacrifices and an error by the Cream
CITY shortstop. The visitors put up
their usual hard game to beat, and.were
lucky in punching five of their six hits
in two innings. Fowler's stop and
throw in the first inning of ball that
looked like certain base hit was a
phenomenal piece of work, and Joe
Smith made fine running catch in
center field. Gillen appeared behind

time and created a most favorable i'm
