where civil government has been

Paper With Trade Coupon Attach
ment flakes a Sensation.

The first issue of the new Detroit
paper, the United States Daily, which
reached a circulation Of 100, 900, caused
a sensation.
One Of the surprises on the first day
was the creation OF new condition
which the publishers had not antici-
pated. 1t was intended originally
that the entire edition should carry
attached trade coupons aud that the
papers should be distributed only
through dealers.
On the morning it first appeared.
however, the newsboys Of Detroit
crowded the Offices Of the new paper
and wanted to purchase an unlimited
number of copies.
This compelled Marc M. Reynolds.
the manager, to meet the new demand.
10 the space devoted to the coupon
the description of the edition wa
printed, and the price of the paper
was marked cent. The street sales
are said To have been enormous.
The new paper consists of twelve
pages daily, illustrated with good
political cartoons.

Japan Paid the Price.

The details OF the battle of 2c3
Meter Hin, the taking of which en-
abled the Japanese TO demolish the
remainder Of the Russian squadron at
Port Arthur, present a spectacle
which appears To be rather more hor-
.rifying than anything that the annals
of scientific slaughter hav6 hitherto

esied. the Russo-Japanese conflict

Of men is now pretty nearly an exact
science.
The descriptions Of the carnage on

by bombs of petroleum; the wounded

shoveled into bitches with the dead
for lack of time to attend them ir the
darkness and the rain OF death.
1t may have been a great victory;
from professional point Of view a
flawless assault and marvellous de-
tense. But in the light Of the pro-
gross the world has made in these 1904
years that have rolled by since that
first Christmas morning, the battle of
203 Meter Hill is not a gowing COM
pliment to the worlds spiritual wei

made much progress away from the
sphere Of the brute, after all. We can
Kill more rapidly and in much larger
quantities than could Caesar, Themis-

That's about all.
