The sun.
NEW YORK, 1884.

A BOUT SIXTY MILLION COPIES OP
N THE Sun have gone out of our establish
ment during the past twelve months.
If you were to paste end to end all the col.
umns of all THE SUNS printed and sold last
year you would get Q continuous strip OF inter-
esting information, common sense wisdom,
sound doctrine, and sane wit long enough to
reach from Printing House square to the top of
Mount Oopernicus in the moon, then back to
Printing House square, and then three-quarters
of the way back to the moon again.
THE Sun is written for theinhabitants OF the
earth; this same strip of intelligence would
girdle the globe q or 20 times.
If every buyer of q copy of The BUN during
the past year has spent only one hour over 1t,
and If his wife or his grandfather has spent
another hour, this newspaper in 1883 has
offered 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
or of Its influence on the opinions and actions
Of American men and women.
THE SUN is, and will continue to be, . news
paper which tells the truth without fear Of
Consequences, which gets at the facts no mat
ter how much the process costs, which pre-
sents 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 there
fore believes that the Republican party must
go, and must go in the coming year OF our
Lord, 1884.
If you know THE Sun, you like 1t already,
and you will read 1t with accustomed diligence
and profit during what is sure to be the most
interesting year in its history. II you do
not know THE SUN, 1t is high time to get into
the sunshine.

TUESDAYS telegraphic dispatches
contain the following account of the
death of the senior senator of the U. S.
senate, Fl. B. Anthony: PROVIDENCE,
r. l., Sept. I'll. B. Anthony, senior
senator of the United States and of
Rhode Island, died at his residence,
number 5, Benevolent street, at 1:45
this afternoon, at the age of sixty-nine
years, five months and one day. He
was in more than usual health yester-
day, having spent hours in the Journal
Office and manifesting his usual cheer
full mood, when not oppressed by pain
and weakness of his chronic disease.
He passed comfortable night and took
breakfast about 10 o'clock a. NJ, with a
good appetite. Shortly afterwards he
was observed as growing pale and was
attacked by uremic CONFUSION, from
which he did not recover and passed
away at 1:45.

have told the TRIBUNE man if he were intend

After reading and partially digesting
an article which appeared in recent

the Gazette-Journal, welding as he
does, a facile, trenchant quill ponder
derously, secketh our utter demolition
by hurting the above dread pronuncia-

suffering and kind with the editor in his

pending we demur, and out Of charity

consistent with decency, mortised into

The high license system is working

The high license system is working
very satisfactorily in Illinois. Before
the Harper law went into effect Illinois
had ID, 600 saloons. This number has
been reduced to 5000, nearly one-third
including the worst places, having been
closed up. In Chicago there has been a
decrease Of $50 saloons. The average
license, before the passage of the Har-
per bill, was $50, and the revenue to
the state amounted to nearly $4,000,
900. The present license is not less
than $500, and in some places more, and
the revenue amounts to more than 81.
900, 900. This is much better than
prohibition, which means no license, no
revenue, but free whisky and no respon-
sibility.-Bee.

GERMANY has been annexing some
african coast. 1t is reported to lap sew

entirely out of the power Of the govern
ment He is uneasy and alarmed at the
steady emigration of the bone and sinew
of the empire to the United States, and
there is little doubt but the experiment
of German colonization will be entered
upon on large scale. In this the old

German colonist will prove thrifty

out of it, and when he gets ready will
set up shop for himself.

PARTIES are essential to freedom.
Party conventions arc necessary to the
life of parties. They are the courts of
political chancery, whose decisions are
also essential, and should be duly re-
spected except when they are made in
the interest of the few and against that
of the many. Caucusses are the instru-
ments by which the voters of the party
make known their wishes both as to the
principles and measures to be adopted
and the men who shall be the candi-
dates. They should therefore be as sa-
credly guarded as the polls, and the
electors should attend them in their
own interests. To bolt is to abandon
the party and thus far is a crime
against the party. The best thing to be
done to get the right candidates is for
the voters to attend to business at the
caucusses.-Gazette-Journal.

A MICHIGAN female physician has
found the cause of many divorces to be
tobacco. She reasons that tobacco af-
fects the sympathetic nerves which con-
troll the heart that these nerves become
paral yzed, and the husband is estranged
from his wife. Now, this physician is
wrong about the way in which tobacco
causes estrangement and divorce. The
real reason is that tobacco causes man
to give out from his pores and lungs a
nasty odOr This odor affects the nerves
of the wife's nose and she loses her tenn

beast. He makes ugly remarks in
reply, and she loses her love for him
and becomes estranged from him, and
he deserves it, too. How woman can
marry a man who reeks of tobacco and
rum, or how, having married him, she
can live under the same roof, passes
comprehension and can only be account
ed for on the ground that ''women are
