PROSPECTS.

THE TINES will be thoroughly indie.
pendent newspaper. 1t will give all the
news in the most compact and interesting
form, and il will furnish daily epitome of
important events in all parts OF the globe.
Bureaus have been established in New
York, Philadelphia, Wilmington, Wash
ington and Richmond, sD that the news of
the territory contiguous 10 Baltimore can
be gathered by its correspondents and tel.
egiaphed promptly over its own special
wires. Its staff includes some of the most
brilliant journalists of the country, gather
ed from various sections, and fully conver-
SAINT with the interests If each. Its chief
aim will be to promote the business inter-
ssts of Baltimore, Maryland, and the
South, and it will endeayor to build up
those interests in practical common ense
way In politics it will be influenced by no
party consideration whatever. Its editor
will advocate what he believes to be right,
and will oppose, with all the resources at
his command, everything which seems TO
hlm to be antagonistic to the welfare OF
the people. He will be unsparing in his
treatment of the political corruption which
exists at present IN the city OF Baltimore
and the State of Mary and, and he hopes
that THE TIMES may become an effective
instrument for the deliyeralce ce of the pub
lie ir,.m the thraldom of the political ring
which at his moment controls the legisla-
ton and dlyides the offices of the Common
wealth. He believes that there Is a great
work for THE TIMES 10 do in the COM
munity for which it is published, and he
will be governed In ITS conduit by nothing
but the purest III tives. He desires to see
manufactures es ablished on solid basis
in Maryland; the comm ice of the port of
Baltimore once more whitening the seas;
our Od.ous inspection laws absolutely re-
pealed; the creation Of irredeemaDle
ground rents forever prohibited; an honest
registration law enacted; the law OF dis
traint repealed; the Maryland and Della
ware ship canal become thing of fact,
ins. cad OF the "baseless fabric of dfeam;'
our schools multiplied and nur present de-
fective system of education reformed; the
lims of the municipality Ixtended-as
they long ago would have been but for
currupt political combinations; the great
cotton interests of the South centered in
Baltimore; the path OF Western trade once
more trodden by our merchants as in tie
days Of the Conestoga wagon; the Eastern
Shore brought within halling distance OF
Baltimore as IT will be whenever rail
rosd bisecting the peninsula is built with
Baltimore capital; the State represented
by men of aoiity and character ia the
Senate and House of Repres( natives; the
magnilice u Gunpowder water supply OF
the city of Baltimore put TO practical use
through the abolishment OF wa er rents,
and the utilization OF the water rs a mo
tive powe in place If stoam--in word
the development OF all our Intent energies
and resources. The ZINES, in its sdvoca.
CIV of public measures or 10 denunciation
Of public men, will never descend to low
abuse. 1t will enforce its position with
facts and arguments and trust 10 the pow
er of reason to win popular support. The
time has come, in the opinion OF its editor,
when great Southeran newspaper is
needed by the South. The magnificent
country which lies at our door Is develop
ing with a rapidity that none can apprc
clate save those who have traversed its
fertile territory. The old political issues
that kept il in constant state of ferment
no longer vex It, The past haa been for
gotler; it Is to the future that the brains,
the enterprise and the manhood OF the
South are looking, and nothing will con.
| tribute so much to the advancement OF tue
substantial prosperity of that section, the
elevation Of labor, the spread OF educa-
ton, and the reformation of political evilS
as newspaper which shall fairly repre-
sent and set forth the real interests of tn.
Southern people. But TIE 1 INES will not
ke In any sense sectional paper.
