THE WORLD FOR 1880.

Democrats everywhere should inform them.
selves carefully alike Of the action of their
own party and of the movements of their
Repu lican opponents. A failure to do this
in 1875 contributed greatly to the loss of the
Democracy of the fruits of the victory fairly
won at the polls @ - qs aa
The year 1880 promises to be one of the
most interesting and important years of this
crowded and sventful century. II will wit
ness Presidential election which may result
in re-establishing the Government of tn
country on the principles Of its constitu-
tional founders. or in permanently changing
the relations of the States to ths Federal
power. No intelligent man can regard such
an election with Indifference. Tas WORLD,
as the only daily English newspaper pub
lishtd in the city OF New York which up.
holds the doctrines of constitutional Dsmoc-
raoy, will steadily represent the Conservative
contention In this great canvass. It will do
this In no spirit of servils partisanship, but
temperately and firmly. 1t will be as swift
to lebuke what 1t regards as infdellty to
Democratic principles or to the honorable
laws of political conflict on the part of its
friends as on the part of its foes. 1t will
uphold NO candidate for Office whom 1t be.
lieses TO be unworthy the support Of honest
men, and accept no platform which it bs-
lieves to misrepresent or to contradict the
true conditions of our national prosperity
and greatness. As a newspaper The WORLD
being the organ of no man,no clique, and
no interest, will present the fullest and the
fairest picture it can make Of each days
passing history in the city, the State, the
country and the world. its correspondents
in the chief centres of life AMI action on both
sides Of the ocean have been selected for
their character not less than for their capac-
ity. 1t will aim hereafter as heretofore, at
accuracy, first of al things in all that 1t pub
fishes. No man, however humble, shall ever
be permitted truly to complain that he has
been unjustly dealt with in the columns of
TIE WoBLD. No interest, however powerful.
shall ever be permitted truly to boast that it
can silence the fair criticism of THB WORLD
During the past year THR WORLD has seen
its daily circulation trebled and its weekly
circulation pushed far beyond that Of any
other weekly newspaper in the o,untry.-
This great increase has been won, as TIE
World believes, by truthfulness, enterprise,
ceaseless activity In collecting news aud un.
faltering loyalty to itse'f and to its readers
in dealing with the questions of the day. It
is our hope and it will be our endeavor that
these may keep what these have won, and
that The WORLDS record for 1880 may be
written in the appreciation and the support
Of many thousands more of new readers in
all parts Of this Indissoluble Union of Inde =
structible States.

A German newspaper, which must be
edited by nimhle man. declares that i,
is wrong 10 write In novels thet the "sea
ran mountains high" because, in fact,
the sea runs very little more than twenty
feft high. The German is right; and il
10 equally wrong to speak Of gorgeous
sunset. Tor the sun does not set :sor the
moonlight sleeping on a hank, for
moonlight never sleeps; or Father
Rhine. for the Rhine ia river. and no.
body's father at all. In poiit of fact.
1t 10 wrong to use words at any time, for
words always mean something else. The
correct thing is TO epen your mouth
only when you are hungry. and hold
Your tongue under all circumstances.
