TIE Sun FOR FOR 1881! 1881!

Everybody reads TIE Sun. In tho editions
OF this newspaper throughout inc year 10
como everybody will find
/. All tho worlds news, 50 presented that
tho reader will get tho greatest amount OF in'
formation with the least Improbable expend'
ituro OF time and oyesight. The Sun long
ago discovered tho golden mean between re-
dundant fulness and unso tisfactory brevity.
II. Much of that sort OF news which do.
ponds less upon its recognized importance
than..upon its interest to mankind. From
morning to morning THE Sun prints con-
| tnued story Of the lives OF real men and wo'
men, aud Of their deeds. plans, loves, hates
and troubles. This story is more varied and
more interesting than any romance that
was ever devised.
III. Good writing in every column, and
freshness, originality. accuracy, and decorum
in the treatment Of every subject.
~. Honest comment. The SUNS habit Is
to speak out fearlessly about men and things
V. Equal candor in dealing with each po.
litical party, and equal readiness to commend
what Us praseworthy Or to rebuke what is
blamable in Democrat or Republican.
VI. Absolute independence of partisan
organizations. but unwavering loyalty to true
Democratic principles. The Sun believes
that the Government which the Constitution
gives us is good one to keep. Its notion OF
duty is to resist to its utmost power the cf-
forts Of men in the Republican party to set
up another form Of government in place OF
that which exists. The year 1881 and the
years Immediately following will probably de.
eide this supremely important contest. The
Sun believes that the victory will be with tho
people as against the Rings for monopoly, the
Rings for plumber. and the Rings for imperial
power.

WILL MACYEAGH REsTGNe

WASHINGTON, June 1S.-That Blaine
should be defended by Brady is a sufficient
" novel TO arrest attention Though
novel, it is not a Fiction 1t takes the
form of direct cut and thrust by Bradv's
evening paper here at Attorney-G General
MacVeagh, and gentle, cooing paragraphs
concerning Secretary Blaine. The manner
of it leaves nothing to be inferred Suf-
iciently evident is it that reasons exist for
this peculiar manifestation of enmity to-
ward one and friendship for the other, all
growing out of the Star trials to come or
not. 1t is known that Col IngersoH char
acterizes in strong terms the language and
manner of MacVeagh on the occasion of
his call with his client, ex-senator Dorsey,
on that officer. The affront Is spoken of
as altogether so gross and undignified as
to deserve only such a retort as the place
and circumstances forbade From all
that is understood concerning this in
tervieW, the Attorney Generals be
hayior was not only peculiar, but suggest
i've Of special reasons for irritation. If
such were the facts, then what must have
been his humor since, under the new policy
of the Observation-Disclosures tne
Secretary of State-regulating the Attor-
ney-Generall his conduct of the Star cases,
in a manner calculated to irTitate a less
spirited individual? There is an Admins
tration policy and there is the policy or the
method of the Attorney General regarding
these cases. The Administration awhile
ago undertook to have its way as to who
should be Solicitor General, but the spirit
ed Attorney General joined issue aud beat
the Administration. One thing is certain
the law officer Of the Government is a good
deal on his mettle, and doesn't cOmpre-
hend why there should exist peculiar rea-
sons for interference in the Star cases by
the Secretary of State. Unless he possesses
resources quite beyond what is suspected
of him, he viii scarcely succeed in any
direct contest with the Administration in |
this instance and will hence have TO weld; |
order.
And what will Mr.. James do then?
