the SUN FOR 1881.

Everybody reads THE SUN. In the
editions Of this newspaper throughout the
year to come everybody will find:
/. All the worlds news, SO presented
that the reader will get the greatest
amount Of information with the least un-
profitable expenditure Of time and eye
sight. THE Sun long ago discovered the
golden mean between redundant fullness
and unsatisfactory brevity.
II. Much Of that sort of news which de-
ponds less upon its recognized importance
than upon its interest to mankind. From
morniug to morning THE BUN prints q
continued story Of the lives Of real men
and women, and of their deeds, plans,
owes, hates, and troubles. This story is
more varied and more interesting than
any romance that was ever devised.
Ill. Good writing in every column, and
freshness, originality, accuracy and deco
rum in the treatment Of every subject.
Nv. Honest comment. THE Suns
habit is to speak out fearlessly about men
and things.
v. Equal candor in dealing with each
political party, and equal readiness to
commend what is praiseworthy or to re
buke what is blamable in Democrat or
Republican.
VI. Absolute Independence of partisan
organizations, but unswerving fidelity to
true Democratic principles. IHE 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 efforts OF men in the Re
publican party to set up another form Of
government in place Of that which exists.
The year 1881 and the years Immediately
following will probably decide this su-
premely important contest. TIE SUN
believes that the victory will be with the
people against the Rings for monopoly,
the Rings for plunder and the Rings for
imperial power.

1t plainly appeared that o polit-
ical Situation had arisen which
most Americans had supposed was
not possible under this govern
ment, q situation In which the
death of the President would al
most certainly produce the effect
Of = new election won by the oppo'
sitiOn, by putting the Administra-
tion into the hands Of his bitter
enemies, and leading to some con-
siderable changes. It was, in short,
just the kind OF situation which in
the Old World has produced the
great historical assinatious and
attempts at assassination, and not
ably the assassination of William
the Silent and Henri w. In both
these cases things had reached q
pass which made cause or regime
dependent for success or STABILITY

made the death of particular

Of honorable, sincere, and
disinterested persons. No such
situation ever lasts long any

eased imagination, aud one great
object Of ali free constitutions is to
provide against Its creation. do

Hon. Cove Salisbury, Ex-Governor of
Delaware and one OF the most respected
citizens Of this State, died yesterday af-
ternoon about 800 O'Clock, at bis resi-
dence in Dover, aged about 60 years.
He had been in rather poor health for
several months, although his condition
was not regarded as at all alarming.
The illness which carried him off YVES
very sudden and only Of five days dura-
tiop.
Cove Salisbury was son of Thomas
Salisbury, and was born in Mspillion
Hundred, Kent County, Delaware. He
was the second OF four brothers, two of
whom-Willard and Eli-became very
prominent In the politics Of this State,
the former having been Attorney Gen.
eral and u. s. Senator and at present

Senator. Cove Salisbury studied med
lcine and, although he soon became a
successful practitioner, he evinced de-
clded taste tor politics, and in 1860 was
elected member OF the Delaware State
Senate. In 1868 be was elected Speaker
of the Senate, and on the death Of Gov
ernOr Cannon, later In the year he be-

On last Wednesday afternoon, DUR

ming bolt struck large pine in field
belong to Mr.. 8. G. B. Faulkner, who
resides about eight miles from Rich
mond, in Hanover county. At the time
Mr.. Faulkner and number of hands
were working near by. The report
was sharp and loud, and shocked sew
eral of the men. Mr.. Faulkner no.
ticed that the tree was set on Ere by
the lightning, and sent hands to clear
away the brush to prevent the fire
spreading to his fencing. Abouttwen-
ty minutes after the tree was struck,
another loud and d d,afening report was
heard in the tree, and on examination
it was ascertained that the fire had
communicated with she'll which was
lodged in the tree during the war.
The tree was somewhat shattered from
the explosion of this old companion,
and the bushes near by were cut down
by the fragments. No one knew of
tie shell being in the tree. This is a
most singular occurrence, and prob
abty the first where shell was explo-
ded by lightning.
