Honesty is principle, coin is policy. It u the political lesson of the period. A lifetime devotion to principle and party can be knocked into defeat by an hour"! work of 'Mack" and allied presumption. It" is no longer may the best man win. The heaviest "sack" takes the place.

The irork and T&t;c oT the Knights of the Pencil. Reporters in ew York city aro divided into three clashes fir-.i-cla93 space men, regular members of a staff and hangers- !"" iuuioauuu ey.iixj liiuu 10 UUUbb from 100 to $200 a week on the Now York Herald, but it gaes without saying that a man whose work is so valuable that his weekly bills for any considerable period of time average such figures, would soon ba compalled to accept a sal arj or find he must divide his service With other papers. A good space writer, whose work is acceptable and reliable, need find nu difficulty in making bills on a great paper like the Herald, ranging between $50 and $80 per week. Of coarse, if ho were industrious and per sonally a favorite, there is no reason why he should not make half as much more on the Sun or the I'imcs, but I find upon careful investigation that the average space man is very well consented with a hteady and certain income of $50 psr week on any of the leading paperj. Tnera are reporters here wuj receive $luO a week, uut tuey are rare, projjbiy not more tnan live in the city. Ucoa stair men range irom $30 to $-Jj a week, and it is uuderjtjod.that stall men are to do no wri: on any other paper. This rule dots nut apply to space meu, although tnero are at.uohed to each New 1'orK uews Xiaper spaC6 men wnu are to all intents and purposes on the staff. They have desks m t jo offices, tliey are expected to Iook in rcgoiariy at tne Hours of assign ment to duty, und generally be at tne hack and can of the city or managing editor, according to the nature of tneir unties. No hano3t, intelligent reporter need ba a hanger-on, umess he so prefers. A h njer-on is a man who is paid by space, on., is not recognized as a reJoJar at tache, lie is a uiau who makes $j or $A) a week, according to exigencies or oppor tunities. No A', tiieso tnree classes or re porters, oocapying many grades of intel ligent inllueuue and income, ml a major ity of tne columns of all tne newspapers published in America. They do tne gay and festive, the sad and solemn. They picture witn glowing pen the beauties of a ball, and paint witu sombre brush the dirges of a funeral; they Bee incoming steamers for earnest intelligence; they give a sketch of the guast.y morgue; they attend the president across the Brooklyn bridge or rush with policemen to extricate tne wounded from a collisioi ; they make one of tne damp and disin 1 party on the outside of an humble vil lage, waiting to display in ch micte is ic terms the efforts of a Sullivan and a Sxade. Tiey spend hourj in the gloomy recesses of tue comptroller's oincc seeking tne sources of ''coupon frauds." They watch the acting of an Irving or take down the utterances of a 'laluiage. From the discovery of a foundling in a basket on Mr. Somebody's doorsteps, through every walk of life until the cosing of tue grave upon the dead, the reporter paints, pictures, pencils, si etches, describes everything Knowa to human existence. lteporters oilier in many ways, borne are rarely descriptive, in some a bump of humor is maguincemly developed, some permeate a story, snort or long, With in dices of personality. Oth rs ure cast iron in rtcital, and make their stones as piquant as tn algebraic probLui. A good reporter, gifted with normal spirits and health is a tning of beauty and a joy forever in any well-reuiateu news paper onice. -hvery door is open to him, and the field of lira is spread betore him with its sunshine and buuuow. In the course of an evening he talks with presidents and walks with princes, he aits with the sorrowful and mourns with the humble. In church to-day, m jail to-morrow, merrily dancing with Anon this evening, deep down in coal pits with stnking miners some other evening. Now he interviews a magnate of the land, and now takes the dying deposition of a butchered thief. Part of un evening is spent in the cathedral fair, part in a political meeting, part in police boad quarters, part in the debris of a railroad collision. No place is too sacred, none too lowly, no man is too high, too rich, too great for him to. approach, none too poor, too humble for him to servo. He is as much at home in the palace of a millionaire as in a hospital ward of a prison. Ho writes with equal readiness the gtib utterances of a betrilled bishop and the harrowing confession of a poor devil in the Tombs. A good reporter must be discreet. How much ho hears ho cannot tell, how much ho knows it would not be fair for him to reveal. He sees the best and worst types of society, and has bis hand more constantly upon the pulse of affairs than nny minister, lawyer, doctor, or merchant. The worn of the American reporter speaks volumes daily for itself. Now and then one is deceived and misled, fooled; but by men at large, from Maine to G.o.-gia, from New York to Oregon, the Ame ican re porter holds his own in tno injrestm, the instructive ani the entertaining. Our editorial newspaper men can very reaoiiy b3 disposed of. The day of isms aas very largely gone, and they are real ly ne er graat in tne field of discussion. As white plumed in cuts, they are of no special use. In the early days of Bryant, orreeley and tne great editorial lights east, when abolition, free soil, free speech and a thousand and one c'osely contested governmental questions were at hand, by ffhich one sat while the other must aecessarily stand, there was opportunity for distinctive, unmistakable utterances. Now, w.th tne exception of the tariff, .here is nothing for people to discuss in .vhich there is involved the faintest de cree of principle, and the consequence is .hat we have no great editors. The aver tge reader understands an editor to be ne who writes on the editorial pago, and it is in that sens? that I apsak. Techni oally there is but one editor to a news paper, and he is the rojpoiiLl head of jho whole concern, but it has become isage to dign f men who write on the tutorial page with editor. Much of the uatter printed on the editorial page is awkwardly expressed, mu;li is the shape of reporting; in other words, simple state ments of facts without the faintest parti jie of opinion expressed. Indeed, so far is utibty and influence is concerned, aineteen-twentieths of the matter printed night just as well never have been writ ten. Enditorial writers in New York re ceive from $25 to $300 per week. I be lieve there are two in this city who re ceive $3J0 a week, quite a number whose innual salary is lXM), many who re vive $5,000, and a great many more who iverage $50 a week. Jo.
