The editors, as is well known, come much more to the front than is the case in England; they do not remain the invisible and mysterious ‘we’ of the editorial sanctum; their names are frequently advertised with those of the publishers, occasionally, indeed, accompanied by a portrait or other additional recommendation; one paper ‘is edited by two of the ablest newspaper men in the State, and it will be hard to find a better team in the editorial harness.’ ‘The most important feature,’ we learn, ‘of the _Free Press_ is its funny squibs by the editor, “Driftings from Dreamland,” which are original and spicy;’ and as appropriately named, surely, is ‘a humorous department, “Tea and Toast,”’ to be found in another print. A Texas editor offers ‘upon justifiable encouragement to visit any county or city in Texas or Mexico and make a statistical “write-up” of their every interest and advantage,’ indicative of lively and reliable information for intending immigrants; and a _Highland Recorder_, with an affection for the Land o’ Cakes one can but sympathise with, says that ‘every page breathes of Clan-Alpine freshness.’ Great stress is laid upon the home-printing of the small journals—‘no patent outside or inside;’ ‘almost every sentence is of home manufacture, little clipping is done;’ ‘the only paper that does all its work at home,’ &c. A further noticeable feature is the frequent use of certificates and testimonials as to circulation from public and private individuals or from contemporary prints, or of self-recommendations such as that of the paper which ‘has a very fine list of country subscribers,’ or of the journal ‘published by a genuine Jayhawker,’ which ‘goes to every post-office in the northern part of the State.’
