1TETE SUN for 1850.

The sun will deal with the events Of the
year 1850 in It's own fashion, now pretty we'll
understood BY everybody. From January / to
december 81 IT VIII be conducted as a news
printed for the people.
As a newspaper, The Sun believes in getting
all the news Of the world promptly, and pre.
senting IL In the most Ineligible shape-tbe
snare that will enable its readers to keep we'll
ABREAST Of the age with the least unproduc-
i've expenditure Of time. The greatest inter
est 70 the greatest number-that is the law
controlling its daily makeup. II now has a
CIRCULATION very much larger than that of any
other american newspaper, and enjoys an
lncenle. which it is at all times prepared To
spend literally for the benefit Of It's readers.
People Of all conditions of life and all WAYS
81 thinklng GUY n read The Sun; and
!hey all derive satisfaction Of some sort from
us columns, for they keep on buying and
In its comments on men and affairs. The
sun believes that the only guide of policy
should be common sense, inspired BY %gonuine
american principles and backed by honesty
Oh purpose. For this reason it is, and will
continue to be, absolutely INDEPENDENT OF
party, class, Clique, organization, or interest.
III Is Tor all, but of none 1t will continue 10

point and plain, beyond the possibility of
being misunderstood. 1t ia uninauenced hv
motives that do no not appear on the %surfaee.
1t has no opinions to sell, save those which
may be had by any purchaser for two cents
IL hates injustice and rascality even more
than it hates unnecessary words. 1t abhors
frauds, Dities fools, and deplOres nineompoops
Of every species. 1t will continue throughout
the year 1880 TO ohastise the frst-olass, in

tons, whether sound or mistaken, are its
friends. And the sbn makes no bones of tell.

public aiiairs' 10 is impossible to exaggerate
the importance Of the political events which
" mas IN store, OF the necessity OF resolute
vigilance on the part Of every citizen who
founders gave as. The debates and acts Of
congress. the utterancos of the press. the
exciting contests Of the Republican and DEM
ocratic parties, now nearly equal in strength
throughout the country, the varying drift Of
public sentiment, will all bear directly and
effectively upon the twenty-fOurth Presiden-
tial election, to be held in November. -Four
years ago next November, the will of the ma
ton, as expressed at the polls, was thwarted
by an abOmlnable conspiracy, the promoters
and beneiciaries of which still hold the of
ices they stole, Will the crime Of 1875 be
repeated in 1892 The past decade of years
opened with a corrupt, %extrayagant and inso-
tent administration intrenched at Washing
ton. The Sun did something toward dislOdg-
ing the gaug and breaking its power. The
same men are now intriguing to restore their
leader and themselves TO places from which
they were driven by tho indignation of the
people, All they succeed? The coming
year Will bring the answers to these moment
GUS questions. The Sun will be on hand to
chronicle the facts as they are developed, and
TO exhibit them clearly and feaTlessly in their
relations to eXpediency and right.
Thus, with q habit Of philosophical good
humor in looking at the minor affairs of life,
and in great things a steadfast purpose to
maintain the rights of the people and the
principles OF constitution against all agrees
sors, The Sun is prepared TO write a truthful,
instructive, and at the same time entertain-
ing history of 1880.

the Laclede rolling mills, Chouteau,
Harrison & Vale, proprietcrs, will
resume operations with a force of five
hundred men and on or before Jan.
10, the Vulcan iron works will relight
its fires and give employment to be-
tween 1000 and 1000 men. Both in
situations resume operations with the
most improved appliances, the Laclede
having invested 100000 in preparing
themselves to meet the demands Of

John sherman SOured.

Philadelphia pimes.l
We are glad to hear from Secretary
Sherman on the Maine fraud. He
says hal it makes Governor Garcelon
and his crowd unworthy to be the
associates Of decent men," For his
part he would as willingly form an
intimacy with housebreakers or sneak
thieves as with them" Sherman
should never forgive the Maine Demo
cratic fraud, for it was consummated
without the aid of visiting statesmen,
the barter of higher Federal offices, or
tho champion of Eliza Pinkston or
Mrs. jerks. Besides, it only stole a
petty legislature and a few State Offices,
while Sherman's Louisiana returning
board added a U. S. senator, a Presi-
dent and scores of Emissions and custom
house places to the trophies of crime.
Sherman very justly calls Maine a
sneak-thief lob.

the city attorney last night to institute
suit in che chancery court for the col
lection of delinquent taxes within
sixty days from this date. 1t was
ascertained that interest and penalties
for unpaid taxes will accrue on the
first. of January, and the necessities of
the city for money is go pressing that
rigorous measures must be adopted
for the collection of taxes. The com

be at once paid by those now in arrears.
