One Year Old.

The WAS HINGTON SUNDAY GLOBE rounds
out its frst year of existence with this issue.
The predictions Of its enemies have failed
and the hopes Of its friends have been real
lied. From six weeks TO three months was
originally given the SUNDAY GLOBE as the
period of its usefulness on this earth, at the
end of which time it was to be inferred in
the Washington newspaper graveyard where
so many of its predecessors have found rest
and forgetfulness. The tenacity Of life
manifested by the SUNDAY GLOBE has
astouuded the prophets of its early demise
and, having long ago announced our impe-
curiosity they marvel much how the
sheet manages to live" and appear regu-

The SUNDAY GLOBE is entitled to live by
virtue of the fact that it has mission and
legitimate reasons for its existence.
II supplies the vacuum created by the
death or transfer Of the National Watch
man as the only Democratic newspaper
published in Washington.
II offers its columns free for the exposure
of wrong doing in the departments of the
Coverumentland without fear or favor criti-
cises public officials aud exposes frauds Of
all kinds and degrees. 1t has during the
past year been instrumental in retiring two
unworthy Cabinet ofheers-Gage and Smith
whose official sins OF commission and
omission we're laid before the public in
these columns exclusively.
1t has torn the mask from that prince of
official hypocrites and soldier hater H. Clay

officials with the printed data which sus-

Washington has either seen, read or heard

its published prospectus and accomplished
all that it promised in its salutatory.
It has fulfilled all of its moral obligations
