A statement recently issued by

sold shows that, emitting Alaska,
there remain $50, 100000 acres, in
Guiding Indian and military reser-
vations; including Alaska l 800, 0OO,-
900 acres. From this should be de-
Quoted the area necessary to fill
private land claims, 8O,OO0,000 acres,
and 100000 acres for railroad
grants, leaving about 740,OOO,OO0
acres, exclusive Of Alaska, surveyed

| 100000 acres, generally in isolated
tracts. The lands in the five south
ern states surveyed, unsurveyed and
occupied, 100000. The irrigabIe

THE PHILADELPHIA TIMES. 1874

THE PHILADELPHIA TINES, 1894
THE TIMES will enter upon the new year
stronger and more prosperous than ever be-
fore in its histOry-more widely read and
quoted, more heartily commended, and more
fiercely criticized, with more complete or
ganZatiOn, and an able ssOfr of contributor
and with the Same independence and fearless
ness that has made it successful and powerful
. in the past.
THE TIMES has no party to follow, no candi-
dates to advance, but will meet every issue, as
it has ever done, with consistent devotion to
the right, 10 honest government, ana the pub
lie welfare. And, while maintaining its posi-
ton as the leading journal Of Philadelphia. 1t
viii aim to be continually in the advance in all
that can add value to Il newspaper.
The value of a newspaper Is not in its size or
display, but In the intelligence and care the
concisepess and freshness with which IL is
edited. THE TIMES spends laVishly for news
from all parts of the world, but all its dis
patches are carefully edited and condensed, in
order TO give the complete news of the day in
the most concise and attractive shape, and with
it d large variety OF entertaining and insfruc-
tive reading. The best writers at home and
abroad are employed 10 enrich its columns,
and to make IL n journal adapted both TO the
busy man and to the leisure of the home cir
Gle, welcome visitor to intelligent and honest
citizens of every political, religious and social
taste.
THE WEEKLY TIMES is altogether different
from the weekly newspapers Of twenty years
ago. The day of those papers have gone by.
The telegraph and better local newspapers
! everywhere, especially in the thriving centres
OF rural population. have made the old weekly
metropolitan newspaper unsatisfying Those

their hold on our fOrward-mOVing people; they

was not the fault Of the papers: it was the i'm

/ Quire more than news.
THE WEEKLY TINES gathers on the types OF

An inquiring correspondent asks
"what will be the length of Gov.
Cleveland's letter of acceptance ?"
There is no probability that it will
be more than one third the length of
BIaine'8. He will have an opportu-
nifty of discussing the questions af-
fecting the people in his inaugural
address. Mr.. Blaine, on the other
hand, had to use his letter of accep-
lance to get his ideas before the
public, as it was the only opportuni-
ty he is likely to have.

Is the World Retter2

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
Now, Mr.. Sturgeon, at the end of
fifty years experience, do you think the
world has grown better or worse since
you came into it? THAT is large ques-
ton, said Mr. Sturgeon. In some re-
spects, worse. The struggle for life is
harder now; it is more difficult to make
living and the restitution is more ap-
palling, | think, than it has ever been.
But, on the other hand, there have been
many improvements, especially in the
direction of temperance. A whole class
Of men who were very numerous when |
first came to London have become ex-
tinCt. l refer to those good and respect
able gentlemen who never got drunk, but
who We're in the habit of getting-welI,
let US say tolerably mellow. You never
come across one of these nowadays. At
least, l never do. The question of tenn
perence has taken giant strides, and al
though Lord Shaftesbury says concern
ing the growth of immortality consequent
upon overcrowding may be perfectly
true. / think there has also come about
an Improvement in the attitude of re-
spectacle people towardr licentious liter
allure. Our grandmothers read books
which our daughters would be ashamed
to open. And in many other respects,
especially in that of open vice and law
lessness, London has greatly improved.
People did things thirty years ago with
ouJ fear or restraint which they would
never dream Of doing now. There. has,
in fact. beer great progress, and am de
lighted TO hear you tell me that Lord
Shattesbury said we have only to have q
stout heart and q firm faith and we will
set the better of the devil yet"

THE SUN
NEW YORK, 1884.

NEW YORK, 1884.
About sixty 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 all THE Sun printed aud 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-quar-
tiers 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 girtlle the globe twenty-sevcn or
twenty-eight times.
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 al
f0rded the human race thirteen thousand years
of steady reading, night and day.
1t is only by little calculations ike these that
you can form any idea OF the circulation or 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 presents
the news all over 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
1eyes that the Republican party must 90, and
must go in this coming year Of our Lord, 1854.
IF you know THE SUN, you like il already,
and you viii read it with accustomed diligence
and profit during what is sure to be the most
interesting year in its history. If you do not
know THE SUN, it is high time to get into the
sunshine

Bloodthirsty Tendencies,

The New York Legislature is consid-
ering an amendment to the penal code
of that state which is of very grave
and sweeping nature. 1t provides
that the time between sentences ana
execution in criminal cases shall not
exceed ten days, the only stay of ex'
ecution being an order from the gov
ernor. The virtual effect Of this inno'
walton would be to remove such cases
from the jurisdiction of the courts OF
appeal and review. In hardly any
cise could counsel for the convicted
get the matter before higher court,
nor could the cour. Of appeal find OPP
portunity to give the facts and testi.
mony thorough review; the ten
days limit would preclude such an
investigation rs ought to be made
where life is involved, and unless the
executive saw fit TO intervene dis.
gracefully hurried executions would
occur and the lives of possibly inno-
cent men be taken. IL Is no. at ali
probable, granting the passage OF the
proposed amendment, that the su-
preme court of New York will decide
it constitutional. That court, for
iunately, has the power Of reviewing
and can avert the Injection
of such drastic ideas into the penal
code of New York, All over the
country there is demand for the bet
ter enforcement of criminal laws and
the consequent punishment of Grim
inals, but it cannot be credited
that society contempla ca or demands
measures so stringent and dangerously
innovating rs the one proposed in New
York.

Questionable Methods in journalism.

We published an account, not long
ago, of the invocation ofjudicial power
to regulate and control the editorial
policy and utterances of leading
newspaper, the Nashville American.
The animus of this novel proceeding
was traced TO partisan political mo.
tives, as the papers position on the
tariff was the bone of contention be-
tween rival interests and factions. The
utterances of a journal thus muazled
would have queer sound and of ne
cessity could have no weight or lnflu-
ence with clientage Of readers con.
versant with the facts. We have now
an account of q newspaper going into
court suing for a large sum OF money
as compensation for its "political inilu.
ence," and II is to be regretted that 1t
