TEaEI SUN.
1883
NEW YORK,

More people have road The sun during
the year just now passing than ever before
since it was first printed. No other noWS-
paper published on this side of the earth
has been bought and read in any year by
sOmany men and women.
We are credibly Informed that people
buy, read, and like The SUN for the follow
ing reasons, among others
Because it's news columns present in at
trpctiyo form and with the greatest posi-
bio accuracy whatever has interest for
HUMANKIND the events, the deeds and
misdeeds, the wisdom, the philosophy, tho
notable folly, the solid sense, the improv-
ing nonsense-all tho news of the busiest
world at present revolving in space.
because people have ieorned that in its
remarks concerning persons and affairs
Tie SUN makes practice OF telling them
the exact truth to the best of its ability
three hundred and siNty-tivc days in the
the whales as we'll as about the small fish,
in the face OF dissent as plainly and fear
lessly as when supported ny general APP
proval. THE sun has absolutely no pur-
poses to serve, save the information Of its
readers and the turthcrancc ofthe common
good
:. Because it is evcrybody's newspaper. No
man is so humble that The sun is inuif1er-
ent to his welfare and his rights. No man
is so rich that it can allow injustice to be
done him. Norman, no association OF men,
is powerful enough to be exempt form the
strict application Of its principles of right
and wrong.
Because in politics it has fought for a
dozen years, without intermission and
sometimes almost alone among newspa-
pcrs, the fight that has resulted in the re-
cent overwhelming popular verdict against
Robesonism and tor honest government.
No matter what party is in power, The
SUN stands and will continue to stand like
a rock for the interests ofthepeoplc against
the ambition of bosses, the encroach-
ments Of monOpolists and the dishonest
schemes ofpublic obbers.
All this is what weare told almost by our
friends. One man holds that The SUN is
the best religious newspaper ever published,
because it's Christianity is undiluted with
cant. Another holds that 1T is the best
republican newspaper printed, because 1t
has already whipped half of the rascals out
Of that party, and is proceeding against the
other half with undiminished Vigor. A
third belivcs to be the best maya zine 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 DISCOVERIES one Of its
many sides that appeals with particular
force to his individual liking.
lfyou already known The SUN, you will
observe that in 1888 it is Il little better than
ever before. If you do not already know
TIE sun, you will find it to be 4 mirror of
all human activity, astorehouse Of the
choicest prductS of common sense and
imagination, 4 manstay for the cause of
hon est government, II sentinel for genuine
Jetfcrsonian Democracy, 4 scourge for
wickedneSS of every species, and an I'M
commonly good investment for the coming
year.

A MODEL FOR YOUNG MEN.

With unfeigncd pride and pleasure
we have read the remarks of our eX-
changes concerning the elevation of Il
noble son OF Louisiana, OF the Florida
parishes, Mr.. VIM. Green Raoul., son
of our Old friend G. Il. Raoul, long,
known III this neighborhood, as the
Surentendant Of the Southern Car
Works, run by the firm Of Raoul, Sons
g. Wadley. Green has lately been
elected President of the great Central
ItailrOrd and Banking Company ,one of
the largest and Wealthiest corporations
in the South. We confess, if any one
is surprised ut this result, we are not.
We knew Green when a school boy, il.
Springfield, Livingston Parish, where
we believe he was born. We knew
him when youth, and then as Il young
man, and afterwards, in maturer years,
as Chief manager of the Old Southern
Car work. In all these phases of his
past life, the penetrating mind
could perceive in him something moro
than an ordinary being, and it was
plain to us that he was destined to
make his mark in the world, even be-
fore the line of his porsuits had been
marked out. He wisely chose the
railroad business as the growing and
progressive interest of the day, and in
that line he has made his mark, as he
would have done in any other. We
lack the opportunity to notice in detail
the many virtues which have elevated
this young man to his present exalted
position for the present we wish to
point attention to him and his course,
as model for other young men.

THE DKOUTu IN THE NORTHEAST.

There is great suffering in Main, New
Hampshire and Vermont, in conse-
quence of the prolonged drouth in tina
section of the country. Some 1000 opera
tives are idle by mills shutting down.
Theproduct of Maine saW-mills is reduc-
ed 2o,OOo,00O feet. The,,rivers|are lower
than for half century. The mills on
the Peuobscot lose over 100000. Estab-
lishments on the I<ennebec, Andres
coggiu and Saco are likewise crippled.
In Southern Maine, hundreds of per-
sons are compelled to resort to snow
water, and cattle are driven miles
to fords and brooks. The Merrimac
river is lower than ever. The great
mills at Nashua and Great Falls, be-
sides those at Manchester, are running
on one-half to two thirds time, and the
losses of employees and employers are
enormous. In Vermont the flush
boards on the Connecticut have been
raised two feet and still there is not
water enough to keep all the mills
running on full time. 1t is impossible
to estimate the aggregate losses. The
rain fall for 1882 Throughout the region
was barely half the average. There
was no January thaw.
