in this respect We're very regular, his daily
allowance being four litres of wine seven
pints), a couple of glasses of absinthe before
each of his three meals, and twelve petits
verres of cognac, rum, or some other spirit,

the half century thus came to: Wine, pints,

The old gentleman boasted that he had

THE SUN.
NEW YORK, 1888.

MORE people have read THE Sun dur
lHl ing the year just now passing thar
ever before since it was first printed. Nc
other newspaper published on this side o
the earth has been bought and read in any
year by 30 many men and women.
We are crsdibly informed that people
buy, read and like The SUN for the follow
ing reasons, among others:
Because Its new5 columns present in at
tractive form and with the greatest posi-
bls accuracy whatever has interest fol
Humankind; the events, the deeds anC
misdeeds, the wisdom, the philosophy, the
notable folly, the solid sense, the improy
ing nonsenSs-all the news OF the busiest
world at present revolving in space.
Because people have learned that in III
remarks eoncering persons and affairs THE
BUN makes practice of telling them the
exact truth to the best of its ability three
hundred and sixty-tive days in the year
before election az well as after, about tue
whales as well as the small fish, in the face
of dissent AZ plainly and tearlessly as when
supported by general approval. The SUN
has absolutely no purposes TO serve, save
tho information Of its readers and the fur.
therance of the common good
Because it 10 everybody's newspaper
No man 10 80 humble that THE SUN is in.
different to his welfare and his rights. Nc
man is 20 rich that it Can allow injustice
to be dsne HIM. No man, no association
of men, ID powerful enough to be exempt
from the strict application OF its principles
Of right and wrong.
Because in politics ii has fought for q
dozen years, without intermission and
II. nj
pers, the fight that has resulted in the re-
cent overwhelming popular verdict against
Robesonism and Tor honest government
No matter what party is Ill power, THR
Bun stands and Will continue TO stand like
q rock for the interests of the people
against the ambition of bosses, the en-
croachments OF monopolists, and the dis.
honest schemes OF public robbers.
All thisis what we are told almost daily
by our friends. One man holds that THE
Sum is the best religious newspaper ever
published, because it's Christianity is un-
diluted with cant. Another holds that il
is the best Republican newspaper printed
because it has already whipped halt of the
rascals out of that party, and is proceed
ing against the other half with undimin-
ished yigor. A third believes it to be the
best magazine OF general literature i'll ex-
istence, because lis 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 indi-
vidual liking. -
If you already know THE Sun YOU will
observe that in 1883 ii is a little better
than ever before. Ii you do not already
know The SUN, you will find it TO be u
mirror OF all human activity, storehouse
of the choicest products OF common sense
and imagination, Il mainstay ior the cause
of honest government, a sentinel for gen
uine Jetfersonlan Democracy, a scourgc
for wickedness OF every species, and an
uucommonly good investment fer the COM

absence Of life in the said S. S. /;
that we do not know whether cur
fellow-citizen Stackpole is now in
comfortable quarters that we can
not say whether Stack. is now red
hot or merely heating that Stack. was
always a good fellow that it is un-
reasonable TO suppose that any pun
ishment will be visited upon Stack. ;
that we can only gazs vacantly at the
doubtful beyond and conjecture as to
the happiness or existence Of Stack. i;
that we hope he is where flowers are
blooming and where pie is perennial !;
that this is the way we think matters
should be arranged with Stack. that

that they be published gratis; that
