THE SUN.
NEW YORK. 1883.

More people have read THE sun during the
year just now passing than ever before silce
it was first printed No other newspaper pub
lshed on this side of the earth has been bought
and read in any year by so many men and
women
We are crediably informed that people buy,
read and like THE SUN fof the following rea-
sons, among others:
Because its news columns present in attrac
tive form and with the great st possible accu-
racy, whatever has interest for humankind;
the events, the deeds, the wisdom, the phil,
osophy the notable folly. the solid sense the
improving nonsense-all the news Of the busiest
world now revolving II space
Because people have learned that in its re-
marks concerning persons and affairs The
sun makes a practice OF telling them the exact
truth to the best Of it's ability three hundred
and sixty five days in the year, before the
election as well as after, about the whales as
we'll as about the small fish, in the face OF dis
sent as plainly and f, arlpssly when sup
ported by general approval THE Sun has alb
Solutely no purposes 10 serve, save the intor-
m4tjon of its readers and the furtherance Of the
common good
Because it is every body's newspaper, no man
is so humble that the SUN is indifferent 10 his
welfare and his rights. No man is so rich that
it can allow injustice done him No man. no
association Of men, is powerful enough to be
exempt from the strict application Of its priu
cipes Of right and wrong
Because in politics it has fought for dozen
years, without ntermisson and sometim's al
most alone among newspapers, the fight which
has resulted in the recent popular verdict
aginst Robesonsm and for honest government
No matter what party is in power The sun
stands. and will continue to stand like rock
for the Interests of the people against the am
bitioE of bosses. the eucroachmenls of mono
poli=ts. and the dishonest schemes OF public
robbers.
Al! This is what we are tol almost daily by
our friends. One man holds that The SUN is
the best religious newspaper ever published
because It's Christianity is undiuted with cant
Another holds that it is the lest Republican
new spaper published because it has already
whipped half OF The rascas 0at OF that rarity,
and is proceeding against the other half with
undiminished vigol. A third believes ii to be
the best magazine of general literature in
existence because its readers miss nothing
worthy of notice that is current in the world
Of thought So every friend of The SUN dis
covers one Of its many sides that appeals with
particular force to his individual liking
If you already know THE sun you will ob-
serve that in 1853 il is little better than ever
before If you do not already know TIE Sun,
you will i:ud it 10 be a mirror Of all human ac
tiviIy, storehouse of the choicest products Of
common sense and imagination. mainstay for
the cause Of honest government seminal for
genuine Jeff-rsonan Democracy, scourge for
wick edness of every species, and an uDeom-
monty good investment for the coming year.

THE YOUNG MECHANIC.

Some young men have queer taste.
They would sooner deal out tea and
sugar, fish up mackerel, or draw
syrup, than become a mechanic.
They deem it more desirable and
more honorable to measure calico,
TO sell tape, pins, and needles than
to become an industrious and adj
vancing workman in a shop or
factory. To the intelligent, hope
ful, dilligent mechanic there is q
promising future. Boundless posi-.
bilities stretch out before him. For
tune and fame beckon him onward
to his career. If in his struggles to
mount high the ladder of bis chosen
calling be fnds tha. bis hands are
soiIed, 1t matters not; he realizes that
stain upon the hands is indeed
better than stain upon the repu.
tation. There is a wide gulf be.
tween the position of clerk, who is a
mere drudge in the store, and the
young mechanic whose brain is &C.
tive with inventive thought We
mean no disparsgement to the clerk,
bu. The chances for improvement
and advancement are SO immeasura.
bly, greater to the mechanic than
the mere salesman the two seem
separated by an almost impossible
distance. The world is crowded
with cheap clerks and worthless
dandies, but there is a lack of young
mechanics. In the workshops Of
the land there is plenty of the right
metal. They will be we'll paid, and
will find openings before them, in
every direction, avenues of adj
vancement. The young man who
enters life's duties in possession Of a
good mechanical education, goes
backed by fortune which cannot be
lost or taken from him.

The following whole hearted sug,
gestion from the ThomasvilIe Times
is worthy to be acted Oh; GAL
though it is sometime until Christs
mas, we beg to make a suggestion
as to tho time and the day: May
little ones are looking forward, oh,
how anxiously, for the coming of
Santa Clause. Some of these have
rich or we'll to do parents, who will
not forget them. But there will,
we fear, be many piuched faces sad
on that happy day. Pover!y's
children, they will hurdle around
the humble hearth, while a mothers
tears (it indeed they are blessed
with a mother), involuntarily run
down the cheek, to see her little
ones forlOrn and forgotten, while all
the world is reveling in happiness.
1t is to this elias that we direct the
attention of the good and charitable.
We are sure you would sleep more
sweetly and soundly that your pill
low would be softer, that your
dreams would be lighter, if you
knew that some child of want had
been made happy by your thoughts
fullness on Christmas morn. Try
it, and our word for it, you will be

The PRAYER CURE According
to series of reports from Pittsburg,
no less than five persons residing in
that city or neighborhood have
been cured of chronic disease within
the last two wseks by the power of
prayer alone Ooe man, who had
been paraIytic for seven years,
crawled into a shed on his bar ds and
knees, prayed fervently for a fe&
minutes, heard voice saying,
"Atise and walk" and Immediately
throwed away his crutches. He is
now travelling through the country

In melange of drivel, falsehood
and puerile rage, filling more than
column of Houks Knoxville organ,
we find the following:
Keep it before the people: That
while the agents of the government
are investigating the unpaid claims
of our citizens, Rule and his hire
lings are abusing them and denounc
ing them as though they were thieves
sent here to steal the property of
CUR people, instead of being friends
to aid us in getting pay for our
property used during the war.
Now, if the editor of the organ
has any proof that Rule has abused
government agents "who are investi-
eating the unpaid claims of our
citizens, we call upon him to pro-
duce it. Here is your chance.
Knoxville daily chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1882, 1882-07-22

We have from time to time given
various good and efficient reasons
why L. G. Houk should not be elect
ed as the Representative in Congress
from the Second District of Tennes~
see, and for the sake of convenience
to our readers and all others inter
ested in knowing the truth, we de-
sire to recapitulate and condense the
charges against him, so that they
may be easily seen and fully compre
hended:
1. He has abused and violated the
trust reposed in him by the people of
the Second District when they elect-
ed him to Congress, by habitually
absenting himself from his post of
duty. The roll of the House of
Representative was called one huns
bred and twenty~seven times dur
ing the last session of the Forty
sixth Congress, and the Record
shows that he was "absent" and mot
voting" one hundred and twelve
times, or more than six,sevenths OF
his time This charge has been re-
peatedly made and never denied.
We challenge Judge Houk or any OF
his friends to deny it and call for
the proof.
2. Houk processes great friend
ship for the pensioners of the coun-
try. Until the pension appropria-
ton bills are passed, not dollar is
available for the payment of pensions.
Three such appropriation bills have
been passed since he has been in
Congress, and he has been present
to vote for but one of them. We
challenge denial of this fact.
g. The prime cause OF his habitual
absence from his post of duty was
