THE SUN
NEW YORK, 1888.

More people have read The Sun during the
year Just now passing than ever before since
it was first printed. No other newspaper pub
lislled on this side of the earth has been
bought and read i'll any year by SO many mel
ami women.
We are credibly informed that people buy.
read. and like The Sun for the following rea-
sens. anIoag others
Because its news columns present in attrac-
tive form and with the greatest possible accu
racy whatever Eas Interest Tor humankind ;
the events. the leeds and misaeeds. the wis
dom, tue philosophy, the notable folly. the
solid sense, the improving nonsense-all the
news Of the busiest world at present revolving
iii space.
Because people have learned that III lis re-
marks concerning persons and affairs The
Sun makes Il practice of telling them the ex-
act truth to the hest of its ability three hun
fred and sixty-tive days III the year, before
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 frarlessly RS when sup
ported by general approval. The Sun has alb
%solutcly no purposes to serve, save the infor
the common good.
Because it is evcrybody's newspaper. No
man is SO humble that The Sun is Indifferent
to his welfare and his rights. No man is so
rich that it con allow injustice to be done

plication Of its principle. OF right and wrong.
Because i'll politics it has fought for IA dozen
years, without intermisSiOn and sometimes al
most alone among newspapers. the fight that
has resulted in the recent overwhelming pop
ular verdict against Robesonism and for hon
est government. No matter what party is in
/ power, The Sun stands and will continue to
stand like d rock for the interests of the PEG.
pie against the ambition Of bosses. the en-
croachments of monopolists. and the lishon-
est schemes Of public robbers.
All this is what we are told almost daily by
the oest religious newspaper ever published,
cant. Another holds that it is the best Re-
publican newspaper printed, because it has
already whipped half of the rascals out Of
that party, and is proceeding against the 9th
or half with undeminisled vigor. A third be-
lieve it to be tie best magagaZine of general
literature i'll existence. because it's readers
miss nothing worthy of notice that is current
in the world of thought. So every friend of
The Sun discovers one Of its many sides that
appeals with particular force to his individual
liking.
If you already know The Sun, you will OBJ
serve that i'll 1888 it is "a little better than ev-
er before. If you do not already know The
Sun, you will find it to be a mirror of all hui
man activity. a storehOuse of the choicest pro
ducts of common sense and imagination, q
mainstay for the cause of honest government.
a sentinel for genuine JetfersOnian Democra-
cy, a scourge for wickedness of every species.
aud an uncommonly good investment for the
coming year.

ately and openly that his purpose was
OWNED BY the time be was ready to
take the plunge. Among them was
the tyipgEof his legs together at tue
ankles with cord, so that he could
not swim. Several steamboat pilots
blew their whistles to attract attention
to him, and men on the bridge ran to
him, but for all that he fought his way
to the paripes and slid over. A few
seconds later he was seen on the sur
face of the water, making frantic
struggles to sink, but floating in spite
of himself. His baggy trousers, tied
at the bottoms, acted as an air cham
Der, and proved q practical life pre-
server. He was taken out only slight

THE ExILED PlUTEs.
They Make Futile Attempt tosfscape
From Yakima.

Last week the Piute Indians, num-
bering some -2l0 persons, attempted to
make their escape from Yakima and
return to their old hunting grounds in
Nevada. They crossed the Columbia
near the Dalles, and were coming south
when their progress was stopped by
Inlian policemen from the Reservation,
who overlook them and conf elled
them to return. Three of the ring
leaders were arrested and held as prs-
oners at the. BALES. The Indians had
a permit tn fish at Tum~ alter, and TAX
ing advantage of their leave of absence
from the Reservation. sold some horses,
paid their fare across the river in a
ferryboat, and then started south
Naches. the Piute Chief here, received
a letter from ore Of them. urging him
to do something for them, and If posi-
BILE assist them in getting back to their
old homes The letter says they get
very little to eat at 'Simcoe, and they
were willing 20 start out afoot for Ne
vada. aud live on roors and what gasne
and fish they could catch on their way
home, il the Government would consent
to let them go. Leggin, the Chief is
almost blind, and ,0tz. the leSsier of
the band which joined the hostiles at
Malheur. does not want to return. Six
lodges prefer staying with 0itz. bat all
the rest, numbering 43 lodges, desire to
return.
These Indians, with the exception oil
Oitz aud his baud. were peaeeable dur
| ing the Bsnnock war, sand were taken
to Yakima with the surrendered hos
tiles. through a mistake of the Agents.
"A delegation OF Piutes from this place
visited Washington to intercede foI
them, and Carl Schurz, when Secretary
of the Interior. promised to provide
means for all. except those who were
on the arpath, to return. A year
ago, General Mcdowell informed
Naches that company OF cavalry,
which was expected to he transferred
from Walla Nalla to Fort Bi,lwell
would escort those of the exiles who
desired to return through OREGON. but
the Apache war interfered with that
programme, and the indians remain al
Yakima. Naches and other intelligent
Indians here complain OF the treatment
to which those peaceable Indians have
been subjected. and think thar the
Government officers, like palefaces gen
orally, do not fulfill the premises which
they make to the red men.
