Dlames Steamship Company for Eek
pensive Error.

Suit for $2.o0o damages was begun In the
superior court yesterday by d. v. Melon
aid against the Pacific Coast Steamship
Company. Mcdonald claims that in Janua-
~, 1893. he delivered to the company for
shipment to Skagway teaming outfit
consisting OF eight horses, two wagons
two bobsieds, four tons OF feed and other
articles The agreement was, he says.
that the outfit was to go north on the
Al-ki as one shipment.
This alleged agreement, he says. was
violated. the company taking aboard the
steamer the horses and part OF one of
the wagons and leaving behind the feed
and remainder of the outfit. As con-
sequence. Mcdonald says he lost the use
Of the whole outfit for twenty days. and
was compelled TO keep the horses at
Skagway at large expense for feed.
At that time. he says, teams were worth
$40 IA day at Skagway, and he lost $isf
a day by not having his four teams ready
for use. Other minor items 60 TO make
up the total amount sued for.

MODERN JOURNALISM.
The Great Editor Has Given Place to the
Great business Manager.

The magnitude of the financial opera
tons Of the newspaper Is turning journal
ism upside down. There are still great
editors whose personalities make the sue
cess of their organs, but, always few, the
number Of them has not increased with
the multiplication of newspapers, and
even where they dominate they have to
leave to others the mass of detail that has
accumulated under and about the editorial
chair. II the editor Is the owner and has
business capacities, he is attracted down
stairs TO the counting room. If he is def
Client in executive ability, he has to engage
man who has 1t, and the requirements
are such that the business manager, If fit,
is likely to have a personality OF his own
so, strong indeed that he will demand a
share in the property and the profits and
the policy.
Then, too, the old editors die. Their
heirs, seldom inheriting the brains with
the business. turn it over to financial
manager to maintain II for the income he
can produce. If there Ia no heir and the
property Is sold, the price is so high that
business men who have become capitalists
In other businesses, not writers, are best
able TO acquire control. j. Lincoln Stsf-
