THE SUN.
NEW YORK, 1884

About sixty million copies of the Sun
have gone out OF our establishment dur
ing the past twelve months.
If you were to paste end to end all the
columns Of all the Suns printed and sold
last year you would get a continuous strip
of interesting information, common sense
wisdom, sound doctrine, and SAINT wit
long enough to reach from Printing
House square to the top of Mount Co.
pernicus in the moon, then back t Print
ing House square, and then three-quar-
tiers of the way back to the noon again.
But the Sun is written for the inhabi-
tants of the earth; this same strip of in
telligence would girdle the globe twenty
seven or twenty-eight times.
If every buyer of a copy of the Sun
during the past year has spent only one
hour over it, and if his wife or his grand
father has spent another hour, this news
paper in 1883 has afforded the human race
thirteenthousand years of steady reading,
night and day.
1t is only by little calculations like these
that you can form any idea of the circu-
lation of the most popular of American
newspapers, or of its influence on the
opinions and actions of American men and
women.
The Sun is, and will continue to be, a
newspaper which tells the truth without
fear of consequences, which gets at the
facts nc matter how much the process
costs, which presents the news of all the
world without waste Of words and in the
most readable shape, which is working
with all its heart for the cause of honest
government, and which therefore believes
that the Republican party must go, and
aust go in this coming year of our Lord,
1884.
If you know the Sun, you like it al
ready, and you will read it with accus-
toned diligence and profit during what is
sure to be the most interesting year in its
history. If you do not yet know the Sun,
it is high time to get into the sunshine.
TERMS TO MAIL SUBSCRIBERS.
The several editions of the SUN are
sent by nil, postpaid, as follows:
Daily-50 cents a ro1th, Sc q year; with

Fay Templetap Opera Company.

The engagement of Miss Fay Temple
ton at the Novelty, is a red letter event
in the calendar of that theatre. Comic
opera, as presented by the company Of
which Fay Templeton is the bright, par
ticular star, takes on a new charm. The
prime dome now upon the American
speaking stage, and who are Justly enti-
tied to recognition as snch, may be count-

Programme for night session to be
provided by township vice-presidents.
We have thought best to leave the
arrangement for night sessions with
the township vice-presidents. They
naturally know the wishes of their
teachers and patrons in this respect.
If night sessions be held, it would
be we'll to devote this time to papers
prepared for the occasion, discussions,
query-bex or lecture by some one in
terested IN school-work.
With the call issued by the vice.
presidents, they should name the
place of meeting, appoint teachers
for the work assigned, urge them to
make preparation and be present. A
copy of the programme should also
be sent to each teacher in the town.
ship. Every effort should be made
to secure a full attendance.
There will be but one institute held
in each township before the close of
the year. Another programme will
be issued about last of December and
regularly each month thereafter.

face was a perfect life insurance to her.
1t insured her against ever getting mar
ried to any person but a blind man. Her
mouth looked like q crackin q dried LEM
on, and there was no more expression in
her face than there is In a cup of cold Gus
tard. She appeared as though she had
been through a famine, and two-thirds of
the way through another. She appeared
old enough to be the grandmother of
Mary, who had>the little lamb. She was
chewing prize popcorn, and carried in
her hand a yellow rose, while a hand box
and . cotton umbrella nestled at her
side. l couldn't guess whether she was
on a mission of charity or going west to
start a saw-mill. I was full of curiosity
to hear her speak, SO I said: 1.-THE ex-
igencies of the times require circumspec-
ton in u person who is travelling"
"What9" says she. .sTlle orb of day

Speaking of the recent appearance
in that city, of the Jesse James COM
bination, the Louisiana Journal says:
"The play represented the different
scenes in James illustrious career.
the maudlin drunken scenes in the
way side bar room, the charming
and beautiful scene where Jesse robs
the ticket Office at the Kansas City
Fair, and his pals set fire to the build
ing the highly moral and ennobling
act where the gang tie an unfortunate
wretch to the back of a horse and
drag him through the forest; those
tender and home-like scenes where
the gentle summer air is enIivened
by the soft lullaby of the pistol shot
and the musical scream ofamurdered
victim were all faithfully portrayed.
There was one important scene omit.
ed, which was a strange oversight.
The Governor of the great state #
Missouri bartering in secret with the
sneaking coward Bob Ford for the
assassination of Jesse, is an act
which ought by all means have been
presented. And then there was a
scene which was intended to be tragic
but was really ~farcical. This was
when Jesse persuaded a young man
who had Joined the gang, to go back
home and lead an honest life, to love
and honor his father and mother and
obey the laws of his country. This
was too rich. The idea of Jesse

DEMOCRATIC
PUBLIC

From the above it will be seen that
the next national contest will pivot on
New York, Ohio and Indiana, and
that with any two of them the democ-
racy will be victorious.
The Republican party rests its
hopes on New York and Ohio, and,
therefore, has made great effort to
misrepresent the results of the late
elections in those states. Maynard
was defeated in New York because
he was a prohibitionist, and the strong
probability is, that the anti-prohibi-
ton vote in both New York and Ohio
will be cast for the Democratic pres
idential nominee in the next national
contest. II that is done, the democ-
racy will obtain once more control OF
government.
