tfoit evening journalistic field, In
fact, 1t is questionable whether the
News did not occupy the leading place
over all newspapers in Detroit. BY
Some strange iatuity on tile part or
the management of that paper, how
ever, it has been gradually falling
from its high estate and consequently
fl the estimation of the Public, while
its young rival. the JOURNAL, has as
cended into the tnvied position SO long
held by the News. The JOURNAL has
now a staff of writer's equal TO any doing
good work in the country Every de-
part,ne nt is carefully supervised and
the paper is conducted upon an advahc-
ed plane of enterprise without paral
lei in Detroit. The public can appre-
ciate a good thing when they find it,
which is fully evidenced by the up
ward bounds taken by the JOURNALS
