some time by practical newspaper mon. has
come to oass-the doctrine of the survival Of
the fittest' has received a new exemplihcation--
and the Old estab lished Journal has gathered in
the Times and its franchises, including the news
reports of the United Press Association The
dscontinuance of the Times will strengthen the
Journal, which will now get the full support of
the Republican party, that has been partly ex-
pended on the Times, thereby sapping to that
extent the resources Of the Journal, without
building up the Times
