THE N. Y. SUN.
NEW YORK, 1883.


More people have read THE SUN during
the year just now passing than ever before
since II was first printed. No other news
paper published on this side of the earth has
been bought AMI read in any year BY so many
men and women.
We are credltably informed that people
buy, read, and like The SUN for the follow
ing reasons, among others:
Because its news columns present in at
tractive form and with the greatest possible
accuracy whatever has interest for human
kind the events, the deeds. and M misdeeds, he
wisdom, the philosophy. the notable folly.
the solid sense, the improving nOnsenso-an
the news OF the busiest world Mt present re-
volviDg in space.
Because people have learned that In its re-
marks concerning persons and affairs The
SUN makes practice OF telling them the ex-
act truth TO the best of ability three hundred
and sixty five days in the year, before cleo
tion as we'll as after, about the whales as
we'll as the small hsh, in the face OF dissent as
plainly and fearlessly as when supported bV
general approval. THE SUN has absolutely
no purposes to serve. save the information OF
It's readers and the furtherance Of the CON-
mon good.
Becausei 1t is everybody's newspaper. Ne
man is so humble that THE SUN is Indifferent
TO his welfare and his rights. No man, no
association Of meA, is powerful enough TO bo
exempt from the strict application Of its
principles OF right and wrong.
Bee use in politics II has fought for doEen
years. without iDternission and sometimes
almost alone among newspapers. the fight
that has resulted in the recent erwhelminK
popular verdict against kObesonism and for
honest government. No matter what party
is In power, The Sun stands ana will con
tinue To stand like rock for the interests Of
the people against the ambition OF bosses tho
encroachments Of mOnopolists, and the dis
honest schemes OF public robbers
All this Is what we are told almost daily
by our friends. One man holds that The
SUN is the best Telig iOus newspaper ever pub
lished, because its Christianity is undiluted
with cant. Another holds that 1t is the bert
Republican newspaper printed, because Il has
already whipped half Of the Tascals out OF
that party. and the proceedings against the
other half with nndeininished Yigor. A third
belieyes II to be the best magazine Ofgeneral
literature In 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 indiVidu-
al liking.
lfyou already know TIE SUN, you will OBJ
serve that In 1888 II is little better than ever
before. II you do not already know THR
SUN, you will find It TO be mirror OF ali hu,
man activity, a stoTehouse Of the choicest
products of common sense and Imagination, .
mainstAy for tho cause Of honest gov eminent,
sentinel for genuine IehersOnian Demo-
eraey, seourse for wick edness Of every
81 ecles, an and uncommonly good investment
for the coming year.

not likely long TO continue as the finau =
cial secretary. But for some things in
herring in n peculiar manner with his
position in the administration, General
Arthur would have been asked to select
his successor before now. No one re-
grets the apparent necessity for relin-
gushing his position as Folger does.
Under some other circumstances be
would gladly yield il. His reasons are
too purely personal to be the property Of
the gossiping public, But failing health
and broken spirit will master any man.
There was time, which was not long
ago. when Arthur was ready-to state IL
mildly-to receive Folger's resignation.
He wants time now, however. or late
things have been proceeding on the idea
that Folger would stay for considerable
time il not TO the end of his term. Fol-
gers resignation now would interfere
with plans arranged on the presumption
Of no change at present. In fact the
President has of late settled down to the
idea Of keeping his Cabinet as it is, TO 60

CONSTABLE MIXER CAPTURES A
HORSE THIEF.

During the fair, VIM. Mixer, who keeps
a sharp eye out, noticed strange horse,
fine roam gelding, which was stabbed at
the Exchange barn for about four days
and offered for sale by one Charles Bemis.
Mixer looked the horse over and conclud-
ed that 1t was stolen property, though of
course he didn't say much about it, as no
notice of steal had been received. The
week after the fair, however, hand bills
came offering $25 reward for horse
stolen In Shiawassee county Sept. 90.
The description fitted The roam, which had
been taken away by Bemis, and Mixer at
once wrote to the owner, lady, and two
men came on here Saturday last. Sunday
Mixer started out toward Bay City and at
Williamson had the good fortune to find
the horse, which had been traded to a
Frenchman for bay mare, three hogs
and $50. The horse was taken on to
South Bay City, where Bemis, the sup
posed thief was understood to live. After
good deal of inquiry among officials,
one was found who knew Of the man,
and he was found at his home and arrest.
ed by Mixer, who forthwith started fol-
Shiawassee county with him, where the
horse was identified. and Mixer identified
the $25 reward, which he brought back
with him. The Bay City Evening Press
in an account of the affair. speaks Of
Mixer as venerable looking man." and
we understand that parties in Shiawasset
county thought he was rather an old maj
to have 1870 FOUNDER in tow, even though
the latter wore steel bracelets, but Nike
delivered the goods, all the same,--Mid

PLAIN
TRUTHS

The blood is the foundation OF
life, it circulates through every part
of the body, and unless it is pure
and rich, good health is impossible.
If disease has entered the system
the onip sure and quick way to drive
it out is to purify and enrich the
blood.
These simple facts are well
known, and the highest medical
authorities agree that nothing but
iron will restore the blood to its
natural condition and also that
all the iron preparations hitherto
made blacken the teeth, cause head
ache, and are otherwise injurious.
BRowN's IRON BITTERs will thor
oughly and quickly assimilate with
the blood, purifying and strengthen
ing it, and thus drive disease from
any part of the system, and If will
not blacken the teeth, cause head
ache or constipation. and is posi-
lively net injurious.
