PROSPECTUS.

THE TIMES will he thoroughly inde-
pendent newspaper. 1t will give all the
news in tho most compact and interesting
form, and il will furnish a daily epitome Of
important events in all parts of the 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 It's 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 will be to promote the business inter-
ests of Baltimore, Maryland, and the
South, and it will endeavor to build up
those interest in practical, common-sense
way In politics it will be influenced bv 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 Maryland, and he hopes
that THE TIMES may become an effective
instrument for the deliverance of the pub
| lie ir1m the thraldnm 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 q great
work for THE TIMES to do in the COM
munity for which 1t is published, and he
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 odous 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traint repealed; the Maryland and Dela-
ware ship canal become thing Of fact,
instead of the "baseless fabric of dream;n
our schools multiplied and our present do
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
Bnltlmore-as 1t will be whenever rail-

abuse. IL will enforce its position with
facts and arguments and trust to the pow

time has come, in the opinion OF its editor,
when great Southeran newspaper Is
needed by the South Tho magnificent
country which lies at our door is develop

clate save those who have truyersed its
fertile territory. The old political issues

no longer vex 1t. The past has been for

South are looking, and nothing will con-

substantial prosperity Of that section, the
elevation of labor, the spread of educa-
tion, and the reformation of political evils
