Che Sun.
NEW YORK, 1888.


More people have read THE sun du ing the year
Just now passing than ever before since it was
first printed. No other newspaper published on
this side OF the earth has been bought and read in
any year by 80 many men and women.
We are erediby Informed that people buy, read
and like THE sun for the following reasons, among
others.
Because its news columns present in attractive
form and with the greatest possible accuracy
whatever has interest tor humankind; the events
the deedsand msdeeds, the wisdom the philoso@
proving nonsense--all the news of the busiest
world az present revolving in space
Because people have learned tist in its remarks
concerning persons and affairs THE Sun makes
practice of telling them the exact truth to the
best of its ability three hundred and sixty-fve
days in the year, before election we'll tier,
about the whales as well as about the small fish,
in the face OF dissent plainly and fearessly as
when supported by general approval, THE Sun
has absolutely no purposes TO serve, the in
formation OF It's readers and the furtheranee of
the common good.
Becaose il is evcrybody's newspaper. No man
is so humble thai The sun is Indifferent TO his
welfare and his rights. No man is 50 rich that IL
can allow injustice to be done him No man, no
association OF men, Is powerful enough to be ex-
einpt from the strict application of its principles
OF right and wrong.
Because in politics 1t has fought for a dozen
years without int rmission and sometimes almost
alone among newspapers, The fight that has result
ed in the recent ,erwhemng popular verdict
against kobesonism and for honest government.
NO matter what party is In power, THE SUN
stands and will continue to stand like rock for
+ the interests Oh the people ag inst the ambition
OF bosses, the encroachments OF monopolists ana
the dishonest schemes of public robbers.
All this is what we told almost daily by our
friends. One man holds that THE SuS is the best
religious newspaper ever ever published. because
It's Christianity is undluted with cant. Another
holds that II Is the hest Republican newspaper
! printed, because il has already whipped half OF
I the raseals out OF that party. and is proceeding
4 against the other half with undimnished yigor
\ A third believes il to be the best magazine OF
general literature in existence, hecaust lis readers
Z 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 fore to his individual liking.
II you already know THE Sun, You win observe
that in 1883 il is little better than ever before
Z II you do not already know THE SUS, you will find
II TO be mirror OF all human activity, store

Mr.. Tildea Declines.

The New York Sun, in obedience
probably to the hints it receives from
the disembodied old smirk at Greystone,
is trying to galvanize Tilden into Dem
ooratic candidate by harping upon the
regret everybody feels because the anci-
ent semblance declines. 1t insists that
there are a large number of persons lying
awake at nights because historical just
ice is not vindicated by electing Tilden.
Perhaps the Sun or the dissolving re-
miniscence ut Greystone, may imagine
that electing him now would prove that
he was elected in in 1876. But that
sort of substitute for ideas only comes
to the few who have long since parted
with their bodily health or vital stam-
ina. Nor are any class of people any
where, except those who are within
reach of the Tilden Bureau, bothering
themselves about Mr.. Tilden's ''intel-
lectual resources and lifelong devotion
to Democratic ideas.'' If his intellect
ual resources were great, why did he
wait till he was fify-eight years old be-
fore buying from John Kelly
a seat in the New York Legislature,
not having influence enough even
then to get himself elected in the dis
trict in which he resided. Tilden has
got nnanclal reSOurCeS-tne results OF
wrecking American railways for English
bondholders. If the Democratic Ma
tional Convention is in the market and
Tilden chooses to buy it, that is strictly
Democratic affair, with which we
have nothing to do. But as to intel
lectual resources, what solitary idea
did he ever utter? His entrance into
political life at all was an accident of
his old age. His timidity had kept him
out of it until his senility permitted him
to stumble, and then instead of stum-
bling into the grave he accidentally
stumbled into politics. Living in the
period of grandest political activities
ever known to any country, he passed
on to the age of fifty-eight without
touching them anywhere. He never
made speech, never sat in either
house of Congress, so far as anybody
knows never saw the Capitol to which
he is scheming and conniving to be
sent, never originated or advocated or
opposed a political measure of any kind,
never favored the rebellion and never
opposed it. never drew or procureothe
passage of law in any public interest,
never held any position in connection
with the Federal Government, never
attended but one political convention,
and that the convention of 1864 at Chi

Republican Success This Fall.

The New York Republicans can sue
ceed this fall because very considera.
BILE element in the Democratic party is
anxious that they should succeed. The
working politicians in the Democratic
party are profoundly and openly dis
gusted with Grover Cleveland. They
are disgusted with the general method
he has adopted in the distribution of the
patronage at his command. the Gov
ernor has ignored completely the local
party leaders. He has act ID as If he
rgarded their recommendation as a suf-
ficient ground for distrusting the char
acter and qualifications of the applicant.
Governor Cleveland has tried, with more
or less consistency, to make his appoint
ments on the principles of the Civil-ser-
vice Reform. Thus he has been an en-
tire novelty, and a most unwelcome
novelty, in the Democratic party of
New York State. The wheel-horses
aforesaid never encountered snything
of the kind before, and their daily prayer
is that they may never see anything of
the kind again. If the Republican
party is permitted to carry New
York State this fall. reversing the phe-
nomenal majority by which Cleveland
was elected, it will be-must be-ac-
cepteu DIV MIN as an equally pnenOne-
nal party rebuke of the methods of ad-
ministration he has sought to enforce.
Some few offices will be sacrificed, but
the Governor will be converted. This
is the shape in which the argument for
mulates itself in the mind of the average
Democrat. 1t is only necessary for the
Republican party to SO clearly deserve
success as to command the support of
its own members, in order to obtain tina:
success, with the acquiescence of yer,
considerable and very important factor
of the Democratic party. We are liter
ally driven into the belief that there
never was year when the Republicans
were in better form to carry the State
than this year. We have found the
hatreds, the bitternesses, and the fac
tionisms of last year burned out. They
were so intense that they have consumed
each other. We are confident that the
approaching Republican State Conven
ton will proclaim the gospel of peace.
We have never yet feared to face the
enemy with united Republican party
We are not afraid of the enemy now.--

The Fresh-air Fallacy.

Fifty years ago few people knew much
about ventilation, or, indeed, believed
much in IFS Importance; and a crusade
in favor of fresh air. was fought BY
the sanitarians. Now the tide runs the
other way, and all the dull people have
learned the phrase ''fresh air, and in

times and places. Two men will come
into the spacious parlor of u club, the
air, though warm, is much purer, and
cooler by five degrees, than the furnace
blast of the streets that they have left.
The incomers are entirely comfortable
until one of them notices that the win
dows are shut. Then they remember
the formula fresh air." the windows
are ordered open; in comes the heated
gust from without, laden with the ami

murmur their formula, "a little fresh

ignorant conception of fresh airI' We
have all seen the lady who must have

"FOR MOTHERS SAKE"
A Scene at n Ferry.

Near the ferry. one winter day,
A woman old, and frail. and gray,
With pins and laces took her stand;
And stretching out trembling hand
Unto the passing people spake:
a" penny-fOr yodr MothcI''s sdhe!'
a. Ny Motherl'' she had been for years
Beyond earth's cares, and Joys, and tears;
Yet, in that windy, wintry hour,
The words had strange and subtle power
To stir fond memories, and make
Me help her-for my Mothers sakel
And then watched the crowd to see
How many felt the homely plea:
Some heard il nots with faces bent
Toward the ferry. ON they went;
But If twas heard IL left trace
Of thought or love on every face;
And made all pause. Men old and gray
Dropped her a penny on their way;
And happy mothers kindly stay'd
And made their children give her aid.
Ahl who can tell what memories wake
When giving for Mothers sake!
Few cared to ask about her life,
To know that she had been n wife,
Had felt IA mothers griefs and joys,
And nursed her share OF girls and boys.
The cord she touched was one could start
Far deeper echoes in the heart
oh. 'Mothcrl" sweetest, dearest word

And never can we grow too old

Distinctive Principles.

A Western correspondent wishes
know what are the distinctive principles
of the Republican party. In one sense,
this is hard question to answer. 1t is
easy to say what the principles of the
Republican party are. But it is not
easy to say what are its distinctive
principles, because it is not easy to say
what the principles of the Democratic
party are, if it has any. AT times and
in spots, it processes to be as ardently
in favor of everything good, and as
sternly opposed to everything bad as
any body of men can be. But its pro-
fession and performance are not twin
brothers, or relations, or even near
neighbors.
The Republican party upholds the
Union and honors those who suppressed
rebellion. The Democratic party at the
North generally elects men who were
for the Union, but at the South always
elects men who were rebels.
The Republican party believes in
equal rights for all citizens. The Demo-
cratic party puts equal rights in some
of its platforms, but has none left for
practical use at the South about cleo
ton times.
The Republican party restored the
public credit, brought the country back
to specie payments, and has provided
honest money for those who earn wages.
Having resisted each and every step OF
this progress, the Democratic party
now claims credit in some places for
specie resumption and in others for hav-
ing opposed it. In parts of the country
it favors hard money; in other parts It
is for every measure that threatens to
impair the public credit or degrade the
peoples currency.
The Republican party has framed and
passed every act for reform of the
Civil-Service that is upon the statute
books, and is now enforcing. through
faithful and well-selected officials, the
Reform act passed last winter. The
Democratic party, from Jackson's time
to this, has never ceased to act upon TIE
maxim, TO the victors belong the
spoils," but it has been very much in
favor, when out of power, of any kind
of reform that would put Democrats
into office.
The Republican party insists upon q
fair election and an honest count. The
Democratic party puts up men of re-
spectability to promise such elections,
as Mr.. Hampton did, and then provid 8
well-drilled and well-armed riile-clubs
to attend at the 7oting-places, and to
make the elections farce.
Distinctive principles;" what are
Democratic principles? But whoever
will can see the difference between
what the Republican party does and
what the Democratic party would d f
it could. That is, ON the whole. the
practical question.-N 7. Tribune.
