n the officers and soldiers OF the
United States never win reputation
until aoar prevails In this Terri
tory in any degree calculated to re-
tard Its business progress, they are
destined to die iDgloriously-"un-
wept, unhonored and unsung.n
There is not to-day a prospector, a
miner or traveller who is afraid to
70 from Tucson to Pbenix, to
Globe, TO Florence, to Tonic Basiu,
to Harshaw, to Altar, anywhere
short of the linn tied field on which
the White Mountain Indian Is
acting his circumscribed deviltries.
Looking through the Eastern
newspapers, however,a AN Arizonian
is startled ct the announce
ment of the awful dangers by
which he is surrounded. He finds
himself encompassed by hordes of
yelling and relentles savages.
The scalps of his wives and little
ones are daunted In his face while,
~ somebody says, amiable squaws
build fires upon his stomach and
hideously howl their delight over
his indispensable tortures.
There are bad Indians among US.
So there are bad white men, but
We are In no such condition as is

the SUN FOR 1881.

Everybody reads THE sun. In the
editions Of this newspaper throughout tbs
year to come everybody will dnd:
1. All the worlds news, 80 presented
that the reader will get the gre stest
amount Of information with the least Qa-
profitable expenditure of time and eye
sight. THE sun long ago discovered the
golden mean between redundant fullness
and unsa isfaetory brevity.
Ii. Much OF that sort OF news which de-
pends less upon iss recognized importance
Than upon its interest to mankind. From
mornrrg to morning TAG Gun prinB q
continued story Of the lives Of real men
and women. and of their deeds, plans,
oyes, hates, and troubles. This story IL
more varied and more interesting tnan
any romance that was ever devised.
Ill. Good writing in every column. and
freshness, originality, accuracy and deco
rum iu the treatment Of every subject.
~. HoRest comment. The SUMS
habit is to speak out fearlessly about men
and things.
'. .hqual csndor in dealing with each
political party, and equal readiness to
commend what is praisew orthy or to re-
buke what Is biamable in Democrat or
Republican.
VI. Absolute independence Of partisan
organizations. but unswerying fidelity to
true Democratic principles. The sUN
believes that the Government which the
Constitution gives us ie g good one 10
keep. It's notion of duty is to resist to its
utmost power the efforts OF men in the he,
publican party to SET up another form Of
government IN place OF that which exists.
The year 1881 and the years Immediately
following viii probably decide this su-
prumeiy important contest. ThE SON
believes that the victory will be wi b the
people against the Rings for monopoly,
the Kings for piunder and the Rlnga for
imperial power.
