Sarcastic, but Too True.

The heather Chinee'' is not wanted in
this country. but there is one thing that
can be said of him that can't be said Of
the bulk of the Democratic party. He
never took up arms against this country.
He never hauled down the American flag.
He never eve threatened "a fire in the
rear of the Union soldiers when they
started for the -front.-Detroit Tribune.

WIN Be Much More Sorry in November

We are sorry to observe tho growing
number of Democrats of character and in
fuence who either declare that they will
vote the Republican ticket this fall or are
credited by common rumor with the in
tention of abandoning the Democratic
party because they do not approve the
tariff policy of President Cleveland and
Mr. Mills.
The Democrats we have in mind are
men like Mr.. J. H. Wade, of Ohio; Mayor
Jonathan Scoville. of Buffalo, and Mr.. w.
v. Tousley, of Cleveland Scarcely a day
but brings news Of the determination of
some such Democrat to support Harrison
for president, because the Republican
platform declares for protection.-New

A Change of Banners

The Democrats are already very tired of
the red bsndanna as an emblem. They
are making desperate efforts to change
the subject from dirty handkerchiefs to
Chinese flags. As Mr.. Cleveland is now,
under the facts brought out by their own
too hasty Investigations, recognized as a
friend Of Chinese immigration, the Chinese
flag will suit admirably as a Democratic
banrier.-Virginia New Enterprise.

much indebted for its remarkable growth i, c;r..
lation to the persistent adherence. on the ma
of the other Chicago dailies to the "blanLo4
sheet style of journalism. Of all the people in
America the average Chicagoan is most in a brrr,,
and least inclined to wade through columns y =
verbiage and stuff. THE DAILY News is the onl,,
Chicago daily that has the facilities for eivino ii,
the news, and at the same time the good sense 70
present it in concise form. The result of such .
condition Of affairs is that THE DAILY News nrin+s
more papers than all the other Chicago dail;es
combined.
"In considering all the causes which have
entered into and produced SO phenomenal a iour-
naiistic growth the most important one unones-
tionably has been the controlling conviction of ifs
managers that the cheap paper . should be chean
only in price; that its news should be as fresh and
complete, its editorial discussion as able, and is
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

The difference of revenue between the two

latter throws away in useless and unasked for

but is even an annoyance, in that it compels him
to CLEAN what is of real news interest from a mass
OF verblage 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 The DAILY News is the best and most
popular general family newspaper published in

"THE newspaper en = i to the distinction of
having the largest daily circulation in America is
THE CHICAGO DAILY News. {Since this state
ment was made it is possible that the growth Of
the Mu0 York W0,M entities it to first place.)
The 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-priced daily successfully established in the
West. AT 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 I25,I7S
copies, unquestionably the largest daily circulation
on the American continent. (The sworn state
ment for 1887 shows a daily average of I65,376,)
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
tidenee of the reader, however much it may fail to
bring him to an acceptance of its own view con-
corning the matter in hand.
a newspaper proper, The DAILY News
has earned a reputation for enterprising news
gathering second to none in the United States,
1t is the only cheap paper in the West that is a

grants them equal IL not superior social
rights. The ladies of BroOkhaven sig
nalized their assumption Of these latter
privileges on last Wednesday night by
giving to the young men u grand ball; on
which occasion they evinced full capac-
| Ity to cope with the pleasant duties which
at other times fall to "the lords of crea-
ton" Committees under the efficient
lead of their "chairladirs" had arranged
everything necessary To the comfort and
enjoyment of their guests. Dextrous tin-
gers bad arts ically decorated the old
dingy hall almost beyond recognition.
Gentlemen had nothing TO do but to he
entertained, and if any acted as "wall
flowers" it was their fault or their choice.
Even the elmer man" was provided for.
The following rules were published for
the government of the occasion;

will not walk across the hall unless es-
corted by some young lady.
3. No young gentleman shall pick up
his handkerchief or fan, if dropped, but
the same shall he restored to HIM by his
attendant.
4. Upon conclusion of each set young
gentleman will he escorted to their seats,
which they are expected to retain, unless
asked to promenade or dance.
5. 1t will be considered highly improp-
er for any young gentleman to either pro-
pose dancing OF matrimOny.
6. Young gentlemen are at full liberty
to make any reasonable or polite excuse
(such as Il am engaged" or II am too
fatigned') to avoid engaging themselves.

music to well-arrauged program, and
no Que thought of leaving until the echoes
