FEWER NEWSPAPERS. : (From the New York Evening Post) Whether Mr. Munsey will merge the Telegram with his Evening Sun. whether in time even the Herald anil morning Sun will join, we can only conjecture. But such mergers have been a marked feature of recent press history. In New York last year the Yiddish Day and Wahrheit unitd in the Day-Wahrheit. The StaatsZeitung bought the morning edition of the Herald, and the Herald inc evening edition of the Staats-Zeiung. The Globe-Democrat- in St. Louis purchased the historic Repubic, formerly the Republican. In Toronto the Mail and Empire ab- . sorbed the Times. The Bridgeport Standard-American and the Telegram joined in the Standard-Telegram. Almost a half-hundred fairly | notable mergers could be counted in', cities of 15.000 to 100.000 inhabitants.
