TI1G SUN
1885,.
NEW YORK,

More people have read THE SUN during
the year just now passing than ever before
since it was first printed. NO other neWS
paper published ON this side ofthe earth
has been bought and read i'll any year by
somany men and women.
We are credibly informed that people
buy, read, and like The Sun for the ioii"w-
ing reasons, among others =:
because its news columns present IN 'i-
trective form and with the greatest posi-
BILE accuracy whatever has interest for
humankind the events, the deeds ana
misdeeds, the wisdom, the philosophy, the
notable folly, the solid sense the he in npn;nv
ing nonsense-all the news OF the puSicS'
world at present revolving in space.
Because people have leorned that IN MS
| remarks concerning persons amu anai.S
| TuE Sun makes a practice OF telling them
| tho exact truth to the best OF It's abAlity
| three hundred and siNty-1ve days III the
year, before election as well as AFTER, ABOUT
| in the face Of dissent as plainly ana iear-
lessly as when supported by general APP
prevail. THE SUN has absolutely no hur-
| readers and the turt herance of the common
good. ,,,o. No
| man is so humble that TIE SUN is indiuer-
ent to his W cliare and his rights. NO man
is so rich that it can allow injustice TO ne
done him. No man, no association OF men,
is powerful enough to be exempt form the
strict application of its principles of right
Because in politics it has fought for
| 1910
| sometimes almost alone among neWSpa-
pers tho fight that has resulted in the re-
cent overwhelming popular verdict against
Robesonism and for honest government.
No matter what party is i'll power, IHii
SIM stands and will continue to stand like
rock for the interests ofthepeonlc against;
the ambition of bosses, the eIicroach-
| ments OF mOnopolists and the dishonest
schemes of public robbers.
All this is what wcarc told almost ny on:
friends One man holds that TIE SUN IS
} the best religious newspaper eNcrpupiishe
because it's Christianity Is undilutcd WIN
can't Another holds that 1t IS the bes'

TRUECOURAGE.

The bravest boys are not always
those who are ready to fight. Here IS
the story OF one who showed the right
spirit when provoked by his comrades:
A poor boy was attending school one
day with a large patch on the knee OF
one of his trousers. One Of his school
mates made fun of him for this, ana
called him "Old Patch"
"Why don't you fight him?' cried
one of the boys. "I'd give it to him II
he called me So"
con" said the boy, "you don't sup
pose I'm ashamed of my patch, &c
your" For my part, I'm thankful 1o'
IA good mother to keep me out OF rags
pm proud of my patch tor her sake"
This was noble. That boy had thu
courage that would make him success
full in the struggles of life. We mus
have courage in our struggle, II w
hope to come out right.

INSECTS AS TAKERS.

uTwo ants" says Buchner, "when
they are talking together, stand with
their heads opposite to each other,
working their sensitive feelers in the
liyeliest manner, and tapping each
. others head" Numerous examples
prove that they are able in this way to
make mutual communications and
even on definite subjects. "I have
often,'' says the English naturalist
Jesse, uplaced small green caterpillar
in the neighborhood Of an ants nest.
1t is Immediately seized by an ant,
which calls in the assistance OF friend
after Intellectual efforts TO drag the
caterpillar into the nest. 1t can be
easily seen that the little creatures hold
conversation by mean of their feel
ers, and this being ended, they repair
together to the caterpillar in order to
draw it into the nest by their united
strength. Further, 1 have observed
the meeting of ants on their way to
and from their nests. They stop, touch
each other with their feelers, and ap
pear to hold conversation, which,
have good reason to suppose, refers tt
the best ground for food" Hague
writes letter to Darwin that he ont
day killed with his fingers n numbe
of ants who came every day from ,
hole in the wall to some plants stand
ing on the chimney piece. He ha'
tried the effect of brushing them away
but it was of no use, and the conse
quence of the slaughter was that tn
ants who were on their way immed
ately turned back and tried to persuad
their companions, who were not "
aware OF the danger, to turn back ais
A short conversation ensued betwee
the ants, which, however, did not r
suit in an immediate return, for tho
who had just left the nest convince
themselves of the truth of the report.

said: "We are here debating bill, dishon-
oring ourselves on this side as the domi-
nant party, and dishonoring congress in
its treatment of the people" No Ian
guage is too severe with which to charac
terize the shameful, scandalous and mon
strous conduct of the dominant party.
Thus has the charge made by the GLOBE
when the bill was first undertaken by the
house, been fully verified. It was then
stated in these columns that there was no
intention of passing the bill or of revising
the tariff in any essential particular, and
the accusation was made that the debate
was undertaken for the sole purpose Of
deceiving the people for political effect.
The mask of the dominant party has been
thrown aside sooner than we expected, ap-
parently owing to the supreme disgust of
one honest and honorable member. That he
should be denounced by his party associates
for too soon exposing their duplicity and
moral turpitude was to be expected, but all
such denunciations are greatly to his
credit. There is no longer a possibility
for maintaining disguise in this matter.
The enormity of the bill proposed has dis
gusted those who would have gladly sup
ported a measure that afforded even partial
relief to the people. It has been loaded
with amendments designed to kill it, and
has been bereft of whatever merit it orig
inally possessed. No body of men in the
possession of their senses would think of
enacting such bill into a law, and
explain their position how they may, the
majority will rest under the imputation of
having deliberately endeavored to deceive
the people for political advantage while
neglecting the public business which they
were sent to Washington to care for.

The AtHe7lRlI1Jl.

The popular dramatic division of the
German society is once more on deck, hav-
ing fairly enjoyed short rest during the
carnivalistic season which, if enforced,
was none the less welcome. It will give
this Sunday evening the celebrated musical
play by Kneisel, entitled, "The Songs of
the Musician" or translated more proper
ly, "The Power of Music" The play is
rich in everything pertaining to it, Ian
guage, plot, incident and scenery. AS for
the music, it is exceedingly simple, plant
i've, characteristic and touching, in
every way fit accessory to the drama.
Either would be incomplete without the
other. The cast is in good hands. Re-
hearsals have been painstaking and fire.
quent and everything augurs well for a
successful performance of a beautiful play
which is bound to touch the better feelings
of all who may witness it. The division
has in active preparation the great spec
tacular comedy farce of Robert and Ber-
tram," or the "Jolly Vagabonds," as also
Gethe's sublime tragedy of "Faust." Other
surprises are in store.
