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 tile globe.
Bureaus have been established in New
York, Philadelphia, Wilmington, Wash
ington and Richmond, 80 that the news of
the territory contiguous to Baltimore can
be gathered by its correspondents and tel
egraphed promptly over lis own special
wires. It's staff includes some of the most
brilliant journalists of the country, gather
ed from various sections, and fully conver-
SAINT with the interests of each. Its chief
aim " i'll be to promote the business inter-
ests of Baltimore, Maryland, and the
South, and it will endeavor to build up
those interests in practical, common-sense
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
him 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 Maryland, and he hopes
that THE TIMES may become an effective
instrument for the deliverance of the pub
lie from the thraldum of the political ring
which at this moment controls the leglslR-
tion and divides the offices of the Common
wealth. He believes that there is great
work for The TIMES TO do in the COM
munity for which it is published, and hc
will be governed In Its conduct by nothing
but the purest motives. He desires to see
manufactures established on solid basis
in Maryland; the commerce of the port Of
Baltimore. once more whitening the seas;
our odious inspection laws absolutely re-
pealed the creation of irredeemable
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traint repealed; the Maryland and Della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,
instead of the "baseless fabric of q dream"
our schools multiplied and our present de-
fective system of education reformed; the
limits of the municipality extended--as
they long ago would have been but for
corrupt 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 the
days of the Conestoga wagon; the Eastern
Shore brought within hailing distance Of
Baltlmore-as II will be whenever rail-
rofd blsecting the peninsula is built with
Baltimore capital; the State represented
by men of ability and character in the
Senate and House of Representatives; the
magnificent Gunpowder water supply of
the city OF Baltimore put to practical use
through the adjustment of water rents,
and the utilization Oh the water rs q mo-
tive powet in place Of steam-in a word
the development OF all our latent energies
and resources. THE TINES, In its advoca-
cy of public measures or III denunciation
OF public men, will never descend TO low
abuse 1t will enforce its position with
facts and arguments and trust TO 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 rapidity that none can apprc-
clate save those who have trayersed It's
fertile territory. The old political issues
that kept il in constant state OF Torment
no longer ut. The past has been for
gotter; il is 10 the futuiu that the brains.
the enterprise and the manhood OF the
South are looking, and nothing will con-
tribute so much to the advancement OF the
substantial prosperity of that section, the
elevation of labor, the spread of educa-
ton, and the reformation of political evils
rs newspaper which shall fairly repre-
sent and set forth the zeal interests of the
Southern people. But THE | INES will not
be In any nense sectional plper..
