Acknowledging Invitations.

Some years ago, and indeed they were
very few, it was not deemed necessary to re-
ply to wedding cards. Today every invita-
ton of any kind except to your millincr's
opening, or to some semi public club reccp
ton. is responded to, and eveN in the latter
case such an invitation comes through the
thoughtfnlncss of some gentlemen friend,
perhaps accompanied by his card. and it is

THE newspaper entitled to the distinction of
awning the largest daily circulation in America is
THE CHICAGO DAILY News. (Since this state
INT was made it is possible that the growth Of
The .Nt7o York World entities it to first place.)
liz Graphic to-day devotes a page to sketches of
scenes in and about its establishment The his
tory of this paper is probably without a parallel
in the annals Of American Journalism. 1t was
founded December goth, 1875, and was the first
low-pr ii daily successfully established in the
West Vt the end of its first year it had achieved
a circulation Of about 10000, From that time on
its growth has been remarkable. 1t now prints
seven editions daily, comprising both morning
and evening issues. Its Statement Of circulation
for the year 1884 shows a daily average of 2 5,17S
copies, unquestionably the largest daily circulation
on the American continent. (Fhc sworn state
ment for 1887 shows a daily average of los. 37o)
In politics The DAILY News is always indie
pendent, never neutral. While its editorial ex-
preston is sometimes vigorous to the degree Of
severity, there is always in its utterances of opinion
so manifest a purpose to be impartial and fair to
all opposing interests. that it rarely loses the con-
hdence of the reader, however much it may fail to
bring him to an acceptance Of its own view con-
corning the matter in hand.
AS a newspaper proper, THE DAILY News
has earned a reputation for enterprisins news
gathering second to none in the United States.
1T is the only cheap paper in the West that is a
member of the Associated Press. 1t gives its
readers all the news worth giving and gives it for
two cents. (Now it does it for oue cent a day)
aside from its own deserving merits as a
complete and cheap newspaper, it is Doubtless
1t seems hardly possible that an cndorsen,e

much indebted for its remarkable growth in circu-
lation to the persistent adherence on the part
Of the other Chicago dailies to the blanket
sheet" style of journalism. OF all the people in
America the average Chicagoan is most in a hurry
and least inclined to wade through columns Of
verbiage and stuff. The DAILY News is the only
Chicago daily that has the facilities for giving all
the news, and at the same time the good sense to
present it in concise form. The result of such a
condition of affairs is that The DAILY News prints
more papers than all the other Chicago dailies
combined.
In considering all the causes which have
entered into and produced so phenomenal a jour
nalistic growth the most important one unques-
tionably has been the controlling conviction of its
managers that the cheap paper" should be cheap
only in price; that its news should be as fresh and
complete. its editorial discussion as able, and its
general tone and character as pure and heathful
as its best and highest priced contemporary. All
this the cheap paper" may easily be even at its
reduced price.
"The difference of revenue between the two
cent paper (even more so when the price is one
cent?, and the higher-priced "blanket-sheet," the
latter throws away in useless and unasked for
sise, that not only is Of no worth to the reader,
but is even an annoyance, in that it compels him
to CLEAN what is of real news interest from = mass
of verbiage and worthless application.
1T is because its managers have been wise
enough to practically recognize these essential
elements Of the best American journalism of to-
day that lHE DAILY News is the best and most
