THE SUN.
NEW YORK, 1882.

THE Sun for 1882 will make its 18th annual
4 revolution under the present management
shining, as always, for all. big and little mean
and gracious, contented and unhappy, Repub
intelligent and obtuse. The Suns light is for
mankind and womankind of every sort; but
its genial warmth is for the good, while it pours
hot discomfort on tho blistering backs OF the
persistently wicked.
The Sun of 1868 was q newspaper of o new
kind. 1t discarded many Of the forms, and
multitude of the snperfluous words and phrases
of ancient journalism. 1t undertook to report
in fresh, succinct unconventional way all the
news of the world, emitting no event Of human
interest, and commenting upon affairs with the
fearlessness of absolute Independence. The
success of this experiment was the success of
The Sun. 1t effected a permanent change in
the style of American newspapers Every i'm
p0rtant journal established in this country in
the dozen years past has been modelled after
The Sun. Every important journal already
existing has been modified and bettered BY the
force of The Suns example.
The Sun Of 1882 will be the same outspoken,
truth telling, and interesting newspaper.
By liberal use of tho means which an
abundant prosperity affords, we shall make it
better than ever before.
We shall print all the news, putting it into
readable shape, and measuring its Importance,
not by the traditional yardstick, but BY its real
interest to the people. Distance from Printing
House Square is not the first consideration
with The Sun. Whenever anything happens
worth reporting We get the particulars, wheth-
er it happens in Brooklyn or in Bokhara.
In politics we have decided opinions; and are
accustomed to express them In language that
can be understood. We say what we think
about men and events. That habit is the only
secret Of The SUMS political oouse
The Weekly Sun gathers into 8 pages the
best matter of the seven daily issues. An Ag-
ricultural Department of unequalled merit,
literary. scientific, and domestic intelligence
complete The Weekly Sun, and make it the
best newspaper for the farmers household
that was ever printed.
Who does not know and read and like The
Sunday Sun, each number of which il Col
cOnda Of interesting literature, with the best
poetry OF the day, prose every line worth
reading, news. humOr-matter enough to fill a
gO0d-sized book, and infinitely more varied and
entertaining than any book, big or little?
If orr idea of what newspaper should be
pleases you, send for The Sun.
The terms are as follOws:
For the daily Sun, q 4-page sheet of % col
umn, the price By mail post pBid, is SIS cents a
month, or $3.50 year; or including the Sunday
paper, an SPACE sheet of sc columns, the price
is o. cents per month, or $7.70 q year, postage
paid

AN EXCEPTIONAL OFFICIAL.

1t is gratifying in these days of po-
litical degeneracy, when "bossism" and
political assessments is the rule, and
leading politicians have no higher aim
than to secure as much OF the spoils as
possible, to find that there are a few
men occupying exalted off cial positions
who favor reform in the public service,
and are not afraid to express their SEN
timents on the subject. Among these
exceptional officials is Mayor Lowe, of
Brooklyn, New York. He was elected
as an Independent Republican, and he
cares nothing for "My Dear Hubbell"
and his aiders and abettors in the po-
litical assessment business. He believes
that officials are paid by the taxpayers
to perform specific duties, not to con-
tribute portion of their salaries to
advance partisan interests, and has sent
circular letters to the heads of depart
ments in the Brooklyn city government,
of which the following is copy:
Sir: am admonished by many signs
that the Fall political campaign is about
to begin. Be so good as to assure the
employees of your department that their
salaries are intended to compensate
them for faithful service to the city;
that, failing in that respect, no amount
OF contributions for party purposes will
avail them. On the other hand, that a
refusal to contribute will not imperil
their situations. In other words, they
are in the same condition in that par
ticular as the employees of commercial
firm. look to you to protect them in
this respect.
How different the tone of that letter
from the whine Of the small caliber poll
tieians of Nevada, who, through their
mouthpieee. the Carson Appeal, tell
the mint employees that they must not
consider the assessments levied upon
them for campaign purposes hard to
bear, as those who growl about paying
them would growl great deal more if,
through the lack of funds. their party
should be defeated and their political
opponents placed in Office. and encour-
ages them by stating that the Mint
assessment will not be sent to Wash
ington this year, but be retained in
the State to help out in the Congress
sional fight.

To call the Sabbath day of rest in the
army is a misnomer. As the Army and
Navy Register puts it, Sunday in garrison
is the busiest day of all the week." Imme-
diately after breakfast comes the regular
weekly inspection, at which the soldier is
required to appear in full uniform, with bis
arms and equipments in perfect order; then
follows guard mounting, and soon after that
the men must prepare for dress parade.
Everybody, whether he be Sabbatarian or
not, will admit that this is altogether too
much work for a day that ought to be, as far
as possible, day of rest for the soldier as
well as the civilian. A bill has been intro
duced in Congress to abolish Sunday pa
rades, but, as the Register points out. there
is no need of enacting a law on the subject,
since it is entirely within the province of the
President, as Commander-in-Chief of the
Army, to issue an executive order covering
the point. Certainly there should be re-
form, whatever may be the best way to bring
il about.
