The era of cheaper newspapers is evil
IDENTIFY rapidly approaching. Prior TO the
war, all of the eight page New York papers
were published at two cents per copy and
the Sun and papers of that class were
furnished at one cent. As war measure
prices were doubled for both classes, and
so remained until about two years ago,
when Bennett, of the Herald, while
enjoying one of his towering DRINKS,
rushed into his Office about midnight
and reduced the price of his paper to three
cents. During the campaign last fall the
World was reduced to two cents. This
was supposed to be q campaign rate, but
it has been continued ever since, and under
Pulitzer's management it has evidently
been making such inroads that yesterday
the New York Times reduced to two cents,
and this morning the Tribune will announce
a reduction to three cents. These reduced
rates for eight page papers will have a
marked effect on the four page Sun, es-
pecially as the Journal, a morning paper
nearly as large (thOugh not nearly as good
a newspaper) as the Sun is sold at one
cent. In the west, the Chicago Tribune
has inaugurated the era of cheaper papers
and the example is likely to be followed
by others

Especial Telegram to the Globe
CHICAGO, Sept. SD. NJ. Sabin, the
United States Senator from Minnesota,
dropped into the government headquarters
and spent few minutes with Collector
Spaldir:.
''WhsL brings you to Chicago?" Senator
Sabin IS asked by reporter who met
HIM at ne conclusion of his chat with the
collsct0'.
"Priv tie business" was his reply.
"Noth 1g in the way of politics?"
81 am 49, of politics for few days, and
hope to itinue 50 until I leave Chica-

"Whs' . you doing up in Minnesota

scarcely anything. Politics and every.
thing else are dead. This year is an of
year in II state. We have ne congress
men er &c 4ators to elect, and not even q
Legislature. The only elections we have
this year are for governor, lieutenant gov
ernor. auditor and railroad commissioner
That doesn't mean anything, you know
for u.s."
''Why not?"
''Well, because the state is 50 overwhelm-
ingly Republican there is not even q pros
pect for scrimmage with the Democrats
1t is like monopoly in trade. There isn't
competition enough to inspire more than
ssing interest. Hubbard will be re-
elected governor, and when man is elect
ed without much effort it makes things
fiat"
'Has he no opponent?"
so, yes. There is a Democratic candi-
date, but he doesn't amount to anything.
The Republicans will have 10000 ma
jority."
"What about Minnesota and the presi-
Dental election?'
1.-The state will give $4,000 for the Re-
publican nominee. Last election it gave
10000, but the influx of Scandinavians
will swell it 10000 more. They all vote
the Republican ticket, you know. Voters
in Minnesota are always brought out in a
presidential contest, and majority in a
state election of only 10000 is accounted
for by the fact that the farmers are slow
and wont vote when they see little use in
it."
''Is Arthur talked of much in Mime
sota?''
"Yes, we hear good deal about him up
there" He is popular with our people"
"Do you think he will be nominated?"
"That depends, but if he is nominated 1
think he will be elected. New York is the
pivotal state in next falls campaign and
if Arthur carries it he is all right"
"Do you think he will carry it?"
"Yes, do. I don't think there is any
doubt about it."
"What about you and Secretary Win
dom?"
II don't know that there is anything
between us. Wear good friends. have
nothing to say on the subject at all"
