Vvry odd, ain't it, that just forty Tribunes should be sold every day in the year and no more; that every day there should be just six men that would take a notion to TilK Tmr.s nnd Herald. Her-ald. Queer mathematics of the doctrine doc-trine of chances. The showing, bad as it is made by the Tribune, is not for that matter bad for The Tim k. The news stand sale, granting the accuracy ac-curacy of the figures quoted, is no indication indi-cation as to what the circulation of The Timks is. The morning paper, which is printed in the Wee sins' hours of the morning, cannot be bought hot from the press as can tho evening paper, which issues during n seasonable hour. The people can't waif until it reaches the news stands. They want it hot from tho press with the news steaming from contact with the stereotyping cylinders. cyl-inders. The tirst edition of TliK Timks never reaches tho news stands at all, It is sold out on tho streets. But it was a little hard on the part of the Tribune to compare the salo of its New Year's Uoom edition with that of the regular editions of The Timks and Herald. |
