In politics it will be Influenced by no party con-
sderaons whatever It's editor will advocate what he
believes to be right, and will oppose. with all the
sources at his command, everything which seems to
him to be anagonisc to the welfare Of the people, He
will be unsparing in his treatment of the political cor
rupon which exists at present in the city Baltimore
may become effective instrument for the deverance
Of the public from the thraldom of the political ring
which at this moment controls the legislation and di
vides the offices of the Commonwealth. He believes
that there is great work for THE TINES to do in the
community for which it published and he will be gov

motives. He desires to manufactures established
asolid basis in Maryland the commerce of the port
Of Baltimore whitening the seas; our odous
inspection laws absolutely repealed the creation Of ir

in it's advocacy Of public its denunciaton
of public men. viii never descend to low abuse. It
win enforce its position with facts and arguments and
trust to the power Of to win popular support.
The time has come, in the opinion Of its editor when
great Southern newspaper is needed by the South.
That magnificent country which lies at our door is de-
veloping with rspidity that appreciate save
those who have traversed fertile territory. The old
political issues that kept in constant state Of ferment
no longer vex it. The past has been forgotten; it is
to the future that the brains, the enterprise
and the manhood of the South looking, and nothing
will contribute 30 much to the advancement Of the sub
stsnta prosperity Of that section the elevation Of labor
the spread Of education and the reformation Of pol
cal evils a. newspaper which shall fairly represent and
set forth the real interests of the Southern people. But
THE TINES win not be in any sense sectional paper.
The proximity of the capital and the experience Of its
large staff Of Washington correspondents win enable
to report with great detail and absolute accuracy the
course Of national legislation the policy Of the admin
istration and the attitude Of public toward public
Its readers may rely upon the correctness Of
the information which it publishes even when they an
disposed to dissent from its opinions.
THE TINES win he published Daily. Sunday. and
Weekly 1t has come stay and its editor hopes ths
It win not fail Of its purpose.
