Up to Saturday last the Michigan
Legislature had taken sixty joint
ballots, but without any result, and
the pursuit of spoils was as bitter as
ever. Ferry, so far, is politically
dead.

NEW YORK, 1888.

More people have read the Sun during the year
just now passing than ever before since IL was first
printed. No other newspaper published on this
side OF the earth has been bought and read in any
year by so many men and women.
We are credibly informed that people buy, read
and like the Sun for the following reasons, among
others:
Because its news columns present in attractive
form and greatest possible accuracy whatever has
interest for humankind the events the deeds and
misdeeds, the wisdom, the philosophy, the notable
folly, the solid sense, the improving nonsense-all
the news of the busiest world at present revolving
in space.
Because people have learned that in its remarks
concerning persons and affairs the Sun makes a
practice of telling them the exact truth TO the best
of its ability three hundred and sixty-hve days in
the year, before election well AFTER about the
whales we'll about the small fish, in the face
of dissent os plainly and fearlessly as when sup
ported by general approval The Sun has absolute
ly no purposes to serve, save the information of
its readers and the furtherance of tho common
good
so humble that the Sun is Indifferent to his welfare
and his rights No man is rich that it can allow
injustice to be done him. No man, association
Of mel is powerful enough TO be exempt from the
strict application OF its principles OF right and
wrong.
Because in politics it has fought for dozen years,
without intermission and sometimes almost alone
among newspapers, the fight that has resulted in
the recent overwhelming popular verdict against
Robesonism and for honest government. No mat
ter what party is in power, the Sun stands and
of tho people against the ambition of bosses, the
encroachments of monopolists, and the dishonest
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
lgous newspaper ever published because its Chris
tianity is undiluted with can't Another holds that
it is the best Republican newspaper ever printed,
because it has already whipped half of the rascals
out of that party, and is proceeding with the other
half with unlimited vgor A third believes it TO
be the best magazine of general literature in exist
ence, because its 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 nd
vidual liking.
If you already know the Sun you will observe
that 1883 il is a little better than before. If
you do not already know the Sun you will find it to
be mirror of all human activity, n storehouse OF
the choicest products of common sense and imagi-
nation mainstay for the cause of honest govern
ment sentinel for genuine Jeffersonian Democra-
cy, a scourge for wickedness of every Species and
an uncomonly good investment for the coming
year.

RINGS.

kilograms from Washington state that
the powerful rings now gathered exceed
in number and wealth all that have ap-
peared there for the past eight years.
They expect to do their most effective
work in the few remaining weeks Of the
present Congress. All the larger and many
OF the lesser special interests involved
in pending or IN proposed changes OF the
tariff are represented by active and IN
huential agents, outside and inside Of
Congress. Some Of the rings have been
partially successful in the House. The
whisky ring will soon make its last des.
perate effort. The real truth in this case
does not appear upon the surface. Tha
distillers and manufacturers O; whisky
have little concern about the bill passed
by the Senate extending the bonded time
10 two years. or any legislation that may
be substituted for il. Spectators and
banks are the parties most anxious and
most disturbed in mind about the action
OF Congress. There are about So, 900, coo
or 5000 600 gallons OF whisky stored.
The banks have advanced between S50,-
900, coo and 500, 900, 900 on ~warehousing
certificates. About $50, 900, 900 OF this
paper is held in Louisville, Cincinnati,
Chicago and St. Louis, the remainder
being scattered in the great Eastern
cities. It is undoubtedly true that the
banks are seriously embarrassed by the
accumulation Of these discounted oertia-
Gates, and they can get no relief from
the SPECTATORS who pat them up SIS COL
lateral security. The banks, therefore,
are practically the owners OF the whisky,
and their situation is rendered more crit
zeal because they will be compelled, for
self protection, to pay the tax on the
stock as il becomes due. The aggregate
tax will be about s74, 0O0, 900 or $4,000
600, distributed oYer about two years
and ten months. Ii is claimed that the
banks which have loaned much Of their
capital, tempted by high rates of inter.
est, on whisky now in bond, are the ac-
tuaI supplioants for legislation, though
they do not so appear before Congress.
Some Of them are in a bad predicsmsnt,
and are unable to carry this heavy load.
They are timid about taking any active
part, fearing that = disclosure Of their

TUESDAY FEBRUARY 10, 1888.
u ARTHUR.

Master Allen Arthur, son Of His Ex-
cellency, the President of the United
States, our kilograms say, has been
turned away from Princeton College for
being one Of a crowd of roustabouts who
made a bonfire OF an clubhouse in the
neiehborhood Of the classic grounds OF
Nassau Hall. Maybe the report is only
a ''roorback." But. whether true or not,
it is apt TO be true. Certainly Master
Allen Arthur would be punished at
Princeton College for any misdemeanor
lust as the others of the crowd he was
with We're punished. The eminent
position OF his father would have no in
fuence to mitigate his punishment. The
presbyterian discipline which prevails
there. with James MeCosh at the head OF
the faculty to judge boys according to
the old style. with his Scotch-lrish logic
and ideas Of morals, would not be en-
forced upon him for the sake Of the con-
spicuous example it would give to the
world Of what is considered moral and
g~entesl at Princeton College. but the
honor of the ancient seat Of learning
would be lost and the halo OF reveren-
tial goodness and wisdom that surrounds
it wou'l be dispelled by the
least imputation OF partiality. Every
body whose heart is in the
right place sympathizes with the
young offender and hopes he will come
out all right after the suspension, doubt
less temporary, that he has been con-
demned to for his rash boyish freak.
This sympathy we all have for him be-
cause he is a boy, Boys will be boys,
and we were boys ourselves. And il he
were Allen Smith, or Allen Brown in
stead of Allen Arthur, We would feel
Just as sorry for him. Barring the boys
trouble and disgrace. the affair Is not dis
agreeable to reflect uTpn. 1t affords the
spectacle Of at least one alma mater in
this great, growing, money-srabbing,
Goldfish ar s;ocracv-ioving country Of ours
that makes the pursuit Of letters and the
cultivation Of good morals its paramount
and only orsideration-which knows no
bias of the mean or sordid kind in its
search for the true. the beautiful and the
good. Il is evident that within the
classic shades Of Nassau Hall justice and
equality are supreme, There the boy OF
industry, honor and brains wears the
laurel wreath. Tbs ohscurity of his
parentage does not handicap him there.
The son Of the haughtiest snd most arts
tocratic man in the United States loses
all prestige in that halloved atmosphere
of learning and philosophy. Whatever
glitter may be associated with his name
in the outside world vaaishes in the
struggle that he there undertakes on
purely intellectual grounds. 1t is graft
Tying to think that this is to some extent
a Republic OF letters as we'll as a Republic
in politics.

is no doubt in the world that many girls

The Game of Draw Poker.

Investigation has developed that the
fascinating game of draw poker was in
vented somewhere about 1916 or 1S47
by Mr. Kirkman, of Tennessee, a turf
man of some note. The game of straight,
or plain poker of course dates much
further back. Draw poker may now be
said to be the national game, and is,
perhaps. doing more harm in a quiet and
unnoticed way than dealing in futures or
any other species of gaming. Almost
everybody knows little something about
the game which appears simple enough,
and yet it has been gravely considered
and adjudged that the very height &c
human wisdom is to know when to lay
hand down. Some years since draw
poker sharp, ostensibly travelled for a
Baltimore liquor and cigar house, and
who claimed the starting and snowy

not been drawing much. To the I'M

not lose anything if they should neglect
to draw in this way There are some
