when important news has created u
demand for papers, The EUeai,ig Nei0s
has been able u throw upon the mar |
ket In "A short winters afternoon as |
many from $4,000 to 10000 copies, and |
has issued In one afternoon as many as |
27,00O copies.
But the most important agency In
Dopularizing and building up this Jour |
nal has been the ability of the publisher |
to employ large editorial staff, and to
pay such salaries rs should command
n superior grade of literary skill, and
they have been fortunate in thus Sc
curing valuable corps of writers.
The theory OF its managers is to print
as little rs possible that is not strictly
first class. Every paragraph mustcon-
tain merit, either In the solid informa-
ton 1t conveys, or in the spice and hui
NOR which sparkles in 1t. 1t Is this
careful, conscientious journalism which
and causes IL to be 50 much sought
after.
Mr.. ]. f. Scripps, who Is his own
managing editor, has just commenced
his twentieth year Of continuous journ-
alistic work. He Is ably assisted by
Mr.. NJ. Almy Aldrich, recently of the
Boston Globe. Mr.. +. II. Burgess Is
the widc-a-walle news editor of the
concern, and Mr.. Gil. II. Osmun, for.

circle of leading men in politics, liter
AZURE and science, approaching the
immense circulation of the paper and
the opportunity its affords them for
gaining the public ear, have engaged
to contribute articles for the paper dur
ing the coming year, SO that The NCws
Is becoming paper of rare literary
merit.
