An eiplaiutiou of this it easily found. ' First, ,tb MMintry iinueliate)y ud jacentto this city, outaide thesuburlutn dis trict, is but fcpacsely ' populated compared with the tiarali lx"pulation of 'New KuglanJ and the middle state, -'ilnrenver, the j-ople' of tkriving western tons ami minor cities depend "lew uon the metropolitan press than the dweller in towns of like size and similar location as regards the near est j great citiea in the east The pro vincial rpres& is prolmhly better deelojieed and mora vntcnrbing in tiie nest, and in catering to and retaining its home smstlt uenqr has been largely aided by the splendid erTica afforded it by The American Press Association, which as a imrveyor of news rivals the older press associations, and as a pro vider of general reading matter is without a rival in the world.

News and Herald earn more money each year than is necessary to defray the entire expense of running their establishments, excepting only the ost of the white pajier uied. The Tribune certainly d'es, for its profits exceed 1300,1110 a year over and al-ove a lavish ixpendituie for news. Una recent Sumlay rbe Tribune consisted uf thirty-two iages, twenty-three of which were filled with adver tisements, and the advertising earnings for the day are said to have ex,-eedcd ill.HH Uuch of this was from the "classified" mlver tivements to reut, help and situations w anted, for sale, etc of which The Tribune has a monopoly on Sundays. On the same Kuu iay tlie other morning tapers weie but little behind The Tribune, one printing twenty tight pages, unotber twenty-four and an other twenty. Quite a number of trades firms expend for advertising an average of tl.UoUa week, and on merchant has -mid for several Sundays past, as is his custom in the ipragrmore ,,in -.W0 each Sunday fox ad v artisemesits in tbeChicago papers. If any on thinks I am dwelling too much upon the' finances of the Chicago press, and laying' too little" of its news, editorial mid literarv sides, let them rememlier that this lavish use of tie newspaper columns by home merruaiiU U the distinctive feature of the Chicago press; and that it is the rev enuo thus afforded which enables the publishers to untie their iia-ers what they are. Notwithstanding the disparity in numl-crs of readers, the" Chicago press is, at least the equal; of-that of New York, and certainly japeVtor to that of any other city on the'eou-tineirt..- .The Chicago press is not literary, nor pedantic, nor ov erburdened with dignity ; and yet it is far from sensational, liaving reached a happy medium between the "everything vTtmrs rtK- k'z S-t'- x i-- -!

The Trihtim leails, but it has not nil the excellence in town, or it would lie head and shoulder above everything else in its field; and this i is not. The Tunes is i eally as good a news naiier, butitis too luuih of a iiiachine. It ii too erfuiictoi-y, handling well wliat conies fc it In the ordinary cimrse or liiisiiiess, but tall lug toivKi hont with liigeuuitv and enterprise. It is as much' unlike- the old Times that 'Storey printed as it could be. StoreyH Times was always turning something up, always startling ieople; the modern Timet does nothing of tlie sort Storey ired to send men as far as steam and stage coach could carry tliein if theie was anj prospect of theit finding something good, jiai ticularly if it hap tieued to lie a rich scandal. It is a fact that The Times (sice had a professional scandal editor, who handled everything of that nature, traveling from th ltoekfe to the Alleghenies in search ol subjects'" for his salacious pen. The famouj Deadlines of Tlie Times, which helped make that iaper the most notorious in the country , are no more, in their place are -et!i tht most commonplace headings imaginable. It is no secret that The Times is steadily gohu; dowuhill. It is gradually losing in circula tion, 1-artiv liecause of the machine madt as-iect and tartly liecause of the high pria of 5 cents still asked for it. The Tribune and Inter Ocean having comedown to 3 cents. The Times is under control of the courts, ulic is likely to remain there evermore. The con ceni is now tiarcly paying expenses, and it compelled to take advertising at lower ratet than any otlur paper m town. It is still very popular in the country, where its chiel strength lies. In Storey's lime The Time; was the leading Miier of the city; it wot mo-t talktsl uttout, had greatest influence am circulation. Now it is in fifth place. Could the famous old editor, whose name is stiL carried at the top of the editorial column, thus: "The Chicago Times, by U' F. St'-iey,' look nut froni his tomb and see his jiajier at it is, he would doubtless make a su'terhumai effort to ri-- f romthe grav e and, ts-tling fool in the office, discharge ev eryl-udy troiu otllit boy up hi his old time style. I do not ineai to say that the famous old Times is a ruin; il Is not quite so bud us that, but unless mattcn inend it soon will be. Netvhpapers once pnis perous and healthy can withstand a good deal of sickness and hardship and still live, but 1 should not be surpi ised if in til e or si t years the splendid pn-erty were to be solo out at foreclosed sale. There ale plenty ol bnght men tin 'The Times staff, but the ab aeucebf its controlling genius has ;ueii th dry rot a chance to creel in, and as a consequence the -atper locks virility and oiig inality For the first tune in lU history The Times is now uti administration journal.

Storey, the tlead journalist's widow, uei-s!sted 111 fighting for lossessiou of tht paper, and the remaining lien's ale equally letermi tied to keep her out Meaunhile the pjjicrisrtallt controlled by lawyer W. C Gtudy, i'resideut Cleveland's ooiifideutial ad v iser m Chicago. After a long struggle The Tribune man aged to overcome the lead of The Times and tako place as the first u--er of Chicago. It was not able to do this until alsmt the time Editor Storey lost his mental glip. The Tribune is now one of tlie best newspaier pro-ierties of the world. It is capitalized at JUH,(km, and the 3U shaies are quoted at 1 10,1 KO each. At that rate The Tribune may le said to Is' worth vst,00i),0ili). One hundred and leu compositors are required to -t the tyieforThe Tribune and IV on Satunlay nights. About luO editors, rcportei-s, etc, are employed, their work .being here in the city The .Tribune is united by the Medill family, and is determined to have Blaine nominated for the presidency next year. The Inter Ocean is the remaining -la-ier of the first class-that is, eight iages ami high price. It was founded in IbWby J. Young Scammou, then a very rich .nan, rated at f-UUM"'. Now he could not false ?.",) in cash. So lunch for the man who started a newspaper But il was not the pa-r which un'-oven-hed him. The panic of ls;:ir u lunk failuiv, too many mortgages, etc , are ivs'iousible lr his fortune's disappeai utice. The inter Ocean grew oat of The lh-publi can, of which Charles A. Dana made a bnll iaul 'paper, but a financial failure. Mill ions uf dollars have been swallowed up in it, and even yet it manages to live only from haul to mouth and by dint of much drumming and bustling. It is heavily in debt, but' its manager, William I'euii Nixon, is a genius nd .nobody doubts his ability to pull the fii'ier through. Undoubtedly the second journal in Chicago in point of influence and iopu'arity i- The Herald, a two cent paper, vt hich is only seven years old, but which is making a great deal of money. Not much money was ever sj-nt on it, either, and its success lias been nlmo-t phenomenal. It is The New- York Sun ot vhe west, lacking The Sun's weaknesses, but also failing to -iorscss many of its prototyjVs strong features. The strength of The Herald lies in its editorial ustuteness, iLs inde'ieiideuce and at the same time its fairness, in its close attention. to home news and goip, its special feat-ires ol local interest and its model busi ness management The Sunday edition of The Herald is prolintily the most jiopular papVrtn cnicag.. ine neraia was etartea by a coterie of yc ong join ualists, who luadd a succesH from a professional ioiiit of view, but lacked tlie money to carry their venture long enough to reap tlie rewaril. ltut.lhi.sis nothing new in the history of news-papers. ..The Hrrald excels in the local field, and has a larger circulation in Chicago and immediate suburlis (han any other morning iaper. The News is printed Uith morning and evening. Started a dozen years ago by some young men with a few thousand dollars capi tal, it is to-day earning a profit of $'",nixl a year.
