MAKING A NEWSPAPER. The Sub-Editor. The following sketch from a late London paper is so Tull of truth, that its fidelity to the forlorn su^ect will icarcely be appreciated by anybody outside thc lewspaper profession: ?Who ls he that, like thc sergeant-major of a re? giment, must be Orst lu the newspaper omce, and tue last out of it ? Who ls he that ls troubled with Ideas as to what the newspaper must contain, and at the same time has ever present before bim the exact numb jr or colu mns "open ?" The publish? er and the advertising clerk announce that the "ads." are coming lu fast. Tnc editor tells the "sub" that there is some very important corres? pondence, and that he expects a most important debate in the "House" that night, which win ne? cessitate an additional leader, foreign, news comes pouring In. Every porter ?d-fwJW messenger brings piles or greasy and halMHegi b'c flimsy The reporters announce a arc or mo and more tuan ?ne interesting meeting. The Brinier talks exultingly or so much standing mat t er ??t?l the poor dazed "sub" is at his wits' end. Newspaper columns are not elastic; proprietors, except in rare instances, do not look with favor upon supplements. So the poor hard-worked "sub" has to pare down the redundant expr?s? elo is of the valued contributor, beg the editor to omit the extra leader, snub the "liners," or. what is to them worse, cut down the ten sides of spe? cious "flimsy" to as many Unes. He quietly tells the reporters to keep down the Influential meet togs, and in short '-?'oil down," condense, pare and omit the overwhelming uews of the day into a readable and compact form. Nor is this all. When his work ls finished anu bis coadjutors have departed-the leader writers have long since dis? appeared-the editor is having, at some late res? taurant, or may bc at his club, that delicately grilled chop and kidney prior to leaving for home -a strav reporter is perhaps only visible, and lie is in a very unpleasant humor at having the last take, and that unusually long, when flown comes 7Ir. Printer with a lace as long as his own col omn, announcing that there are two columns "overset." Ab ... Thoa tho prm I.rain-tired "sub ' has to wrine through yards or proors. and decide what shall be omitted and what cut down, uutil he has made the columns and the "matter" to till them equal. Then he may light his cigar as the ramble or the "holst" tells of thc forms going down to ma? chine, and go home to dream or something ex? traordinary being omitted rrom the paper alto? gether. Yet the sub editor docs all this and gets no credit from anybody. Ht* silent supervision is not recognized by the general public The edi? tors and leader-writers arc uuderstooil. The mnslcal and dramatic critics are known by name. Thc reporters are seen; but thc poor "sub" ls un? known. Yet he is the builder of the newspaper, the consulting clerk of the works, upon whom the appearance of the paper mainly depends. He lt is wno receives the crude ideas or Robinson with respect to that excellent institution ror the reception or Incurable Dyspepsia. He places those ideas before the public in an attractive and in an Intelligible form. The editor and thc public congratulate Robinson, they overlook Mr. Peys ton Caje?is, as Shirley Drooka has happily named the sub-editor, who h-is brought rare skill anda keen discernment to thc assistance ortho unknown Robinson, whose ideas under other management would have been killed in thc bud. Ur. Robinson accepts thc compliment, and walks away under the Impression that he is u clever fel? low after all. Up to a very recent period, thc newspaper sub editor was only found iu thc metropolis. Even in the largest country towus his ofllec was com? bined with that of thc chief reporter, or, as ls now frequently thc case on papers or some stand? ing, the editor also acts as "sub," and takes the entire management or the contents or the paper. Thc latter plan has but few advantages to recom? mend it. The man who has to search into prece? dents, to dive into matters or currency or inter? national Uw, to study thc laws ol population, to regulate the local governors and set a few M. P.'s right In their facts and figures, loses all zest for pasting little paragraphs on slips of copy paper, and placing attractive and neat little side-heads to every "par." so as to give an 3ppea.*ance of freshness to thc clippings. * * * Thc country sub-editor must know every one, and thc peculiar and ludlvldual relations of every one within thc county. Thc Inevitable Smith or Jones, who gets Into a squabble and figures lu a Loudon police court, he must recognize, and point him out to his fellow-townsmen. The bril? liant essayist wl,o ls startling thc word, the rising musician, or the new judge, must bc pointed o*ui as oue "who was honorably connected with our towu or county." lflie only went to school within either. Tncir domestic connections must also bc known, and all ami everything relating to the locality kept at the fluger?' ends, literally aud figuratively. Tile duli, smoky room In which thc Bub editor usually works, ls bair Ailed with partly cat news? papers, discarded contributions, a lew spare bim; books, aud a well-thumbed dictionary. There von will assuredly And a gazetteer, Lemprlere, thc .'Men ol tue Time." and sometimes Hanauer'* well known Treasuries of Knowledge. The desk ls an Ink-stained, gum-bespattered, paste-daubed piece of rurntture. The proverbial scissors are discarded for a sharp penknife, and gum has usurped the place or paste.. The waste-pai>er lias-* ket gapes with a wide mouth, and there ls a gen? eral toue or ordered slovenliness about the sub? editor's room whli'h marks RB Individuall y. Look at that pigeon-hole, crammed lull of pa? pers, "reserved for consideration," or for the editor's ?reference. There is also not a few good letters walting their turn, and yon will Bee them when ihero ts a tull lu the nev? market, which ebbs and Sows like thc tide or ure itself. The traine?! "sab" seems to know ntnl Uvely. as lt were, the very place to look for suita? ble "copy" in every paper. He passes by with a glance the "padding" or other "subs." He seizes triumphantly every tlt-blt, and as be slaughters the papers, wonders If everybody reads all thc papers anil wades through the miles of columns which he so carefully prepares. Ile ls disturbed from his reverie to argue thc point with some irate contributor, whose manuscript has been "cut down" or rejected, or to explain the mean? ing of some "par" which a subscriber per? sists in being meant for bim. The printer wants copy and must be kept employed. Nothing mist beleitout. The reporters are away, and their parcels have missed, nnd when they come they request i he "dear sob" as a favor to look up some qa-aa; lon or spell some scientific name rig lit. wnich they have Imperfectly caught or remem? bered, for he Ls supposed to have all the knowl? edge of ihe world, to know thc "ologles" and Hie "isms." and to bc equally nt home in the myste? ries of the speculum analysis or Die linc arts. Ile can onli aspire to perfection. His highest aim ls to omit nothing, ami his greatest disgr?ce ix to proclaim to the wort ! that a very important arti? cle or report has been omitted for want of space. L'serul and unknown, thc fub-editor deserves well or newspaper men and newspaper readers, yet how rarely he meets with ins deserts. COMMERCIAL NEWS. The Charleston Coton.
