TIE-1E SJN.
NEW YORK, 1884.

About six million copies of The Sun have
gone out of our establishment during the past
twelve months.
If you were to paste end to end all the COL
umns of TIN Suns printed and sold last year
you would get continuous strip of interesting
information. common sense wisdom, sound
doctrine, and sane wit long enough to reach
from Printing House square to the top Of Mount
Copernicus in the moon, then back to Printing
House square. and then three quarters of the
way back to the moon again.
But The Sun is written for the Inhabitants of
the earth this same strip of intelligence would
girdie the globe twenty-seven or twenty-eight
times.
If every buyer of copy of The Sun during
the past year has spent only one hour over it,
and it his wife or his grandfather has spent
another hour, this newspaper In 1883 has at
forded the human race thirteen thousand years
OF steady reading, night and day.
1t Is only by little calculations like these that
you can form any idea of the circulation of the
most popular of American newspapers OF of
its influence on the opinions and actions of
American men and women.
HE SUN IS, and will continue to be, news
paper which tells the truth without fear of con-
sequences which gets at the facts no matter
how much the process costs. which presents
the news OF all the world without waste of
words and In the most readable shape, which
is working with all its heart for the cause of
honest government, and which therefore be-
heves that the Republican party must go, and
If you want the THE Sun, you like it already.
and you will read it with accustomed diligence
and profit during what ia sure to be the most
interesting year In its history. If you do not
vet know THE Sun. it is high time to get into
the sunshine.

A PERTINENT QUESTION

The st. Landry Democrat. is trying to
find out what Democracy consists of and
who are Democrats in Louisiana, and the
inquiry is very difficult one in the face of
the record made by the representatives of
the dominant party in the last State con-
vention and during the session of the Gen
eral Assembly just closed. The convention
that met at Baton Rouge last December
and nominated the present State officers
adopted platform including the following
resolutions:
We declare our hostility to the entire prin-
ciple of lottery dealings. The constitution de-
clares gambling to be vice, yet it encourages
that vice III its worst form, not only melting to
effort to get rich on the turn of the Wheel but
demorallzlng society. corruptlng politics and
impeding legislation; and we demand that the
Legislature to be chosen at the ensuing cleo
ton shall enact such legal measures as are nee
essary for their suppression.
Resolped That the convict labor of the State
should 10 be appropriated and assigned to labor
control of the State authorities by such iegisla-
ton as may be necessary.
These declarations, as our st. Landry
contemporary AYERS, are law to the party
on these subjects. How that has been
obeyed let the Democrat illustrates:
The State constitution abolished the mouop-
oily feature of the lottery, by authorizing the
Legislature to charter other lotteries.
The present Legislature was elected after the
adoption of the resolutions above quoted and
both bodies of it are almost entirely Demo-
cratic, so-called
The Legislature voted down bill to submit |
an amendment to the people to abolish the lot
terry; voted down bill to charter other lotteries
that would destroy the monopoly of the present |
one; voted down bill to rstarn to the State it's
convict labor; and also voted down a bill to RI I

RAISING ASSESSMENTS.

A large number Of tax payers have been
summoned before the Police Jury, sitting
as Q Board Of Review, this week, to show
cause why their assessments should NOT be
increased. We have not zat bad opportu-
nifty to make a personal Investigation Of
the naatter, but we are informed that in
nearly ali cases the augmented assessments
ere those Of small property holders, and.
The alleged discrimination is giving rise to
much dissatisfaction. It can scarcely be
eontended, in the face Of the extraordinary
stringency of the money market and the
depressingly low prices OF sugar, that prop
erty values have increased here, and we
have yet to hear it charged that the smaller
owners have not been assessed heretofore
in fair ratio with their more opulent
neighbors -on the contrary, we venture to
say in decided majority of instances
where assessments were not uniform, the
proprietors of small properties have been
the sufferers. =. IS -
It is a notorious fact that the parochiaI
government does not require an increase
of taxation to cover its expense budget.
The revenues derived from the ten-mills
levy have been amply sufficient during the
past few years to discharge all current liza
bilities, take up large floating debt on a
s333H per cent. basis, and leave a comfor-
ablesurplus with which to raise and repair
the public levees, curb. threatened cpl
demic Of small pox and meet other neces-
sary and legitimate claims, not to speak of
such Legitimate items as the payment
of Sc page for pamphlet printing, ordered
in violation of law, that could have been
done here in better style at less than half
the price. -
Whence, then, comes the necessity, if any
exists, for an increased assessment roll?
We think an answer to this inquiry will be
found in the fact that the General Assem-
bly,, at its late session, made
largely in excess of last years revenues
and that the only way in which the other
wise inevitable deficit can be forestalIed is
by applying bellows to the assessment rolls
and initiating them to the required dimen-
sions. Has an edict to this effect gone
forth from the headquarters of our be-
nefcent State Administration, and is the
Police Jury of Ascension obeying the man.

RIVER 1TEMs.-The steamer Edward j.
Gay, bright and fresh from the painters
hands, resumed her place in the Bayou Sa-
ra trade last evening, with the ever popular
and genial Capt. Sullivan s. Streck in
command. The Gay came up the river
booming, touching the Donaidsonvilie
wharf at A. NJ.
The lightning Morning Star, just off the
dock in tip-top order, passed up Thursday
night and at once resumed business as
mail and passenger carrier ON the Baton
Rouge and Bayou Sara route. The Clip
per. which has been running in place of
the Star since last Sunday, returned to
Donaldsonville yesterday afternoon and h
again carrying mails and passengers be-
tween our town and Burnside station on
the Mississippi Valley railroad. After un-
dergoing some slight repair, the Clipper
will probebly go up the river again to run
for short time in place of the Prince, be-
tween Bayou Sara and Natchez, while the
latter boat goes on the dock at New Or
leans for necessary renovation.
The reappsarancs OF the Gay at this ear
" date seems to have been the signal for a
reopening of the wec between the Mer
chants and Planters Packet Company and
the Red River and Coast Line. We learn
this morning that the Clinton advertisss to
carry passengers from Donaldsonvills to
New Orleans for 81 each. and correspond
ing reduction from other points has prob
abb been made. AS an evidence of his
earnestness in the aght, it is said Capt.
Brown has ordered new boat for the b.
you Sara trade, and if no compromise is
effected the competition promises to as
sumo liyeiier phase than ever before.
Capt. Jno. A. Comstock is making few
trips on the Whisper and it looks right
natural to see his familiar form on her
roof.
? The John III. Chambers burned and sunk
at New Iberia Thursday morning and is
total loss. She was valued at $4,000 and
insured for $1,000. No lives were lost.

Miss Willie H. Harrison, aged Is years,
was fatally burned at 1856 Camp street, New
Orleans. last week. She was making her
toilet when her dress caught fire from a
candle. She ran screaming into the street,
where couple of gentlemen promptly en-
veloped her i'll coat and door mat, ex-
tinguishing the flames, but too late to save
the unfortunate young lady's life. She died
few hours after the accident.

Another national ticket has been added

was nominated for President and Mr.. VIM.
Daniel Of Maryland for Vice President.
The platform is confined mainly to the
liquor and woman's suffrage questions, but
there are small planks favoring tariff for
revenue with incidental protection, reser-
walton of the public lands to actual settlers,
care and support Of disabled soldiers and
sailors or their dependent widows and or
phans, and declaring that .'all money,
coin and paper, shall be made, issued and
regulated by the General Government,
and shall be legal tender for all debts,
public and private y ~
There was great enthusiasm among the
delegates and the spectators, and it seens
to be a general impression that the Pro-
hibition party will make q much stronger
showing ID the coming electoral contest
than it has ever done before. AS the Or
ganization is more formidable in Repub-
'liean than in Democratic States, the sup
porters Of Cleveland and Hendricks are
hopefully expectant that the increased
diversion in favor of the new ticket will give
their candidates number of votes in the
Electoral College heretofore considered
reasonably safe for Blaine and Logan.
However, the country has grown SO ac-
customed to the disappointment of DEM
ocratic expectations that there will not be
much surprise if this newly born hope of
success proves to be no more substantial
than rope of sand.
