The Sun will deal with the events of the year
1880 in its own fashion, pretty well under
stood by everybody. From January to Deem
Der 81 it will be conducted as a newspaper writ
people.
As a newspaper The Sun believes in getting all
the news of the world promptly, and presenting
it in the mo st Ineligible shape-the shape that
will enable its readers to keep well abreast of the
age with the least unprOductive expenditure of
time. The greatest interest to the greatest num-
ber--that is the law controlling its daily makeup
1t now has a circulation very much larger than
that of any other American newspaper, and en-
joys an income which it is at all times prepared
to spend literally for the benefit of its readers
People of all conditions of life and all ways of
thinking buy and read The Sun; and they all de-
rive satisfaction of some sort from its columns for
they keep on buying and reading 1t.
In its comments on men and affairs, The Sun
believes that the only guide of policy should be
common sense, inspired by genuine American
principles and backed by honesty of purpose.
For this reason it is, and will continue to be, alb
sOlutely independent of party, class clique, or
ganiZation, or interest: 1t is for ALL but ofnone.
1t will continue to praise what is good and repro
bate what is evil, taking that its language is
to the point and plain, beyond the possibility OF
being misunderstood. 1t is uninhuenced by mo-
tives that do not appear on the surface: 1t has nc
opinions to sell, save those which may be had by
any purchaser for two cents IahateS injustice
and raScaGty even more than 1t hates unneces
sary words. 1t abhors Frauds pities fools and de

CONVICTIONS whether sound or mistaken, are 1t

the trnth to its friends and about its friends when
ever occasion arises for plain speaking.

affairs. 1t is impossible to exaggregate the i'm
portance of the political events which it has in
store, or the necessity of resolute vigilance on
the part Of every citizen who desires to preserve
the Government that the founders gave us. The
debates and acts ofCOngress, the utterances ofthe
press, the exciting contests of the Republican
and Democratic parties, now nearly equal in
strength throughout the cnuntry, the varying
drift of public sentiment, will all bear directly
and effectively upon the twenty fourth PreSiden-
tial election, to be held in November, the will of
the nation, as expressed at the polls, was thwart
ed by an abomna BILE conspiracy the promoters
and beneficiaries of which still hold the offices
they stole. Will the crime of 1876 be repeated in
1850? The past decade of years opened with
corrupt, extravaganza and insolent Administra-

something toward dislodging the gaug and
breaking its power. The same men are now in
trlguing to restore their leader and themselves to
places from which they were driven by tie in
dignation of the people, Will they succeed? The
coming year will bring the answers to these mo-
mentous questions. The Sun will be on hand to
chronicle the facts as they are developed, and to
exhibit them clearly and fearlessly in their rea-
tionS to eXpediency and right.

Peril inn NEininr CITY.

A short time ago the mine ofthe Delaware
and LaclIawanna Railroad Company in
Scranton caved in, recent letter from that
place gives US the following particulars:
The mine extends from the Lackawanna
river into the depths of Park Hill, on which
are situated the dwellings of the miners and
their church. The slope extends into the
hill nearly mile, and chambers and gang
ways undermine the hill and the adjacent
neighbOrhOod in every direction. The caye
occurred IN the slope, The men were just
quitting work. They were walking toward
the shaft to be raised to the surface. The
conclusion of the mine caused by the sink
ing in of the roof forced large pieces of rock
and coal through the air along the slope
clear to the top of the shalt among the boys
working in the breaker. The miners work
ing in the slope We're hurled to the ground
aud badly injured by the flying debris.
Henry Evans was carried hundred feet by
the gust of wind and thrown unconscious at
the bottom of the shalt, where tools and coal
covered him. lie has not been able to work
since. The miners picks and shovels We're
carried up the shaft into the breaker. Half
dozen miners houses were directly over
the portion of the mine that cavcd in. They
sank nearly to the caves. The roof that fell
formed the bottom of many wells, and of
graves in the church yard. These became
at once deep pits. Crevlces four feet widl
opened in the earth from the foot of the lille
to the summit. The earth kept on settling
for day or two, and all danger was believed
to be over Wurkmen we. { set to removing
the fallen rock and coal from the slope.
The work was well advanced when, in April
last at 3 O'Clock in the afternoon, the inmates
OF Fritz Macker's house in South Eynon
street, Park Hill, felt the house gradually
sinking. They rushed out into the street.
The next instant the house sank with Il
crash to the upper windows. Mr., Macker's
well also disappeared with his pig pen.
part of the street sank two feet, and crack
wide enough to receive wagon opened in
the face of the hill. Last August another
cave occurred in the same nnne, several
houses being almost swallowed up These
sinkings were all in different parts of the
mine. The indications are that a general
tall of the mine may be expected ut any
time, and great alarm exists among the res
idenis and property owners Of that quarter.
The cave has extended from the brickyard
Of the Lackawanna Iron and Coal Company
through South Eynon street, clear to the
Lackawanna and BloomsburgRailroad track.
AT the junction of Northampton and Meri-
dian streets great assures are opening and
extending gradually into the lots on either
side. Within a distance Of ten feet three
large seams have opened during the past
few days. The situation of Meridian street
is such that a cave in, as indicated with the
widening assures, will be attended with
great destruction Of property. The Bellevue
mine is one Of the largest in the valley. AT
the time of the first cave the thickest vein
of coal was being opened. The loss of the
company has been over 100000.
