The Globe seldom does bhings by halves, and this is certain- ly it strong and deserving bid for oironla- tion. In the announoement .of the change it is stated that the great reduce. tion in the price of paper and the intro- duotion of typesetting machines have made this possible, but considering the great expense that they inour in their efforts to seoure all the news every day and the exoeedingly full reports that they give of all important events, 96 per year was not too much to pay. At 94 per year their (emulation should soon reach the 50,000 mark, especially as all the he. partments, including their exoellent Saturday illustrated edition, aro to be kept up to their present high abandsad. The Globs is generally recognized as the leading paper in Clonacla, and their effort to make it possible for every person to take it regularly should meet with a hearty responee.
