The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1884-04-05

About sixty million copies of THE Sun have
gone out of our establishment during the past
twelve months.
II you were to paste end to end all the col
umns of all THE SUNS printed and sold last year
you would get continuous strip of interesting
information common sense wisdom, sound doe
trine, ami sane wit long enough to reach from
Printing House square to the top of Mount Co,
pernicus in the moon, then back to Printing
House square, and then threc-quarteres 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
girdle the globe twentyseven or twenty weight
times. gta m -
If every buyer of a copy Of THE Sun during
the past year has spent only one hour over it,
and if his wife or his grandfather has spent
another hour, this newspaper in 1888 has afford
ed 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 Ameri-
can men and women.
THE SUN is, and will continue to be, a 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 work
| ing with all its heart for the cause of honest
government and which therefore believes that
| the Republican party must CO. and must go in
this coming year Of our Lord, 1884,
| II you know THE sun, you like 1t already, and
you viii read il with accustomed diligence and
| profit during what Is sure 10 be the most inter
esting year in its history. IL you do not yei
know THE SUM- it is high time to get into the
sunshine. rflt4

The American, who now for the first
time became aware that he was
wounded, started forward when he
heard the words mdsank on his knees
beside the dying man.

claimed, as if hardly crediting his
ears.
''Yes-curse you, it's Leon MENDOZA,

square OF Sonora, twenty years ago,
but who came back to life with but
one desire, and that was for revenge!

choking his words.
"Where is Arthur-where is my

element.
"You have just killed him, by your
own hand! l was planning that he
should steal his sister, and not knowing
who she was, should carry her away
to slavery and disgrace. But it's a,

American shudder, the renegade, fel

The Times will enter upon the new year strong
or and more prosperous than ever before in its
history-more widely read and quoted, more
heartily commended, and more iierccly crid
ciEed, with more complete organization, and
an ADLER staff of contributOrs-and with the same
independence and fearessiess that has made it
successful and powerful in the past.
The Times has no party to follow, no candi-
dates to advance, but viii meet every ISSUE us it
has ever done, with consistent devotion TO the
right, to honest government, and the public well
fare. And while maintaining its position as the
leading Journal of Philadelphia, il will aim to
be continually in the advance in all that can add
value 10 Il newspaper ye~
The value of a newspaper Is not in It's size or
display, but in the Intelligence ana care the CON
ciseness and freshness With which it is edited.
The Times spends lavishly for news from all
parts of the world, but all its dispatches are
carefully edited and condensed, in order to give
the complete news of the day in the most con
else and attractive shape, and with It, u large
variety OF entertaining and instructive reading.
The best writers at home and abroad are emf
ployed to enrich its columns, and to make 1t n
Journal adapted both to the busy man and to
the leisure Of the home circle, a welcome Wis
it0r to intelligent and honest citizens of every
political, religious, and social taste.
THE WEEKLY TINES is altogether different
from the weekly newspaper of twenty years ago.
Inc day Of those papers is gone by. The tele-
graph and better local newspapers everywhere,
especially in the thriving centcrs Of rural pop
ulation, have made the old weekly metropoli-
tan newspaper unsatisfying Those that cling
to their anciant usagcs have lost their hold on
our forward moving people; they are but
shadows of their former greatness and they
have but a shadow of their former power
Those papers have had their usefulness, but it
is gone, and, with it, they are going too. 1t was
not the fault of the papers; it was the Improve
ment of the country that brought about the
change. Men and woman, wherever they live,
now require fresher news; and they require
more than news.
THE WEEKLY TIMES gathers off the tyses of
every passing week whatever has lasting inter
est to people at large and sets ii before them in
such generosity of paper and print as would
have astonished us all twenty years ago. WIT
DALY-Twelve cents week, fifty cents a
month, $6 year, two cents a copy.
-SuNDAY-Four cents a copy, ~ a year.
WEEKLY-One copy, 81 year; five copies IS a

Now comes The springl All, yes, the spring,
When fcathcred animals dosing,
And farmers to their plowshares cling
aud brcnnal hosts are on the wing,
Aud bells of kline do ting -a-ling,
And frogs do help along the ding,
And languor sets the ears airing,
And sewers do their arms outswing,
And maids their summer hosen wiring,
And organ men their tones do bring,
And honey bee doth sharp sting,
And "sol" warmer glow doth iling
And yitalizes everything
Except the chap whose whispering
Doth get the lassic on string,
And make her wish for club to sling
This theft who is OF thieves the king,
And starts a bran-new love, by iingl
AT each recurring of the spring.

Making a Rcd MIN out Of an Indian.

On Monday evening at the regular
council meeting of Caddo Tribe, No. s,
Improved Order Of Red Men, of this
city, Col. Il. G. Boudinot, Of the Chero-
kee nation, was adopted into the tribe,
which has membership Of nearly 200.
The imposing and impressive ceremony
Of adoption of the Dallas aborigineGs
gave the colonel some new ideas regard
ing the legendary lore of his ancestry.
After the ceremony of adoption, and the
transaction of the regular order
OF business, the council fire was
quenched and Col. Boudinot favored the
tribe with several of his choicest recita-
tons. He combines all the spirltuelle
OF the Indian with the culture and edu-
cation Of the pale face, and in his delin-
cations OF character, he Is uneQualed
and his rendition of the "Power of
Prayer" and the "Irish Lochinvar" was
splendid. AS many of our readers are
aware the order is founded on the charac.
toristic hospitality and devotion to their
friends of the American Indian. Caddo
Tribe No. s, is one of the strongest tribes
in the order, in the south and Is rapidly
increasing its membership. On next
Monday evening they remove TO their
new wigwam in Moore's new building on
Elm street.

Land Leases in the Indian Territory

Col. Boudinot, who has been guest Of
Col. Wylie for several days, gave a re-
porter of the HERALD some information
OF interest concerning the Indian Terri
tory. He said that the Cherokee coun.
ell, in extra session in May, 1883, leased
100000 acres to syndicate OF cattle
men for less than cents per acre, and
that he, BELIEVING it a fraud on the Cher
okee people and violation Of the troa-
ties and laws Of the United States and
the Cherokee nation, had brought suit
in the United States court at st. Louis
against some of the lsssees to test the
legality OF the lease. The court had
sustained the demurrer and dis
missed the suit, Col. Boudinot
had brought, but stated IN the opinion
that the legality of the lease was not Dc
cided; the responsibility of the parties
sued for the penalty of 1900, was the
only matter decided; and that was, that
under the suit brought tie less es
were not responsible Thi the
colonel says, leaves the whole
matter with congress and the com
nittees on Indian affairs of both
houses have been instructed to inquire
into the whole subject. Col. B0udinot
spoke to large audience in Vinita, In
dian Nation, on Wednesday last, when
he advocated his well-known views OF
allotment Of lands among the Indians.
