LOS ANGELES THURSDAY MORNING. DECEMBER 5. 1878
MISCELLANEOUS.
The SUN FOR 1879.

THE SUN will be printed every day
during the year to come. Its purpose and
method will be the same as in the past
10 present all the news in readable
shape, and to tell tho truth though the
heavens fall.
THE SUN has been, is, and will con.
| tinue to BE- independent of every body and
everything ave the Truth aud lis own
convictions Of duty. That is the policy
which has won for this newspaper the con-
i'ence and friendship of wider cons itu-
ENJOY th-n was ever enjoye by any other
| American Journal.
| THE SUN is the newspaper for the peo-
pie. 1t is not ior the rich man agsinst
The poor man, or for the poor man against
| the rich man, but it st eks to do equal ius-
tice to all classes in the community 1t is
not the organ OF any person, class, sect or
party. There need be no mystery about
its loves and hates. 1t is for the honest
man against the rosues every time. 1t Is
| for tho honest D.mocrat as against the
dishonest r. pub icaI, and for the honest
Republican as aga nst the dishonest DEM
| ocrat. 1t does not take its cue fro the
utterances of any politician or political or-
| gan cation. 1t gives its support unreserv-
| edly when men or measures are in sgree-
ment with the Const tulinn and with the
principles upon which this R-public was
founded ior the people. Whenever the
Const tuition and constitutional principles
are violated-as in the outrageous conspir-
acy Of 1875, by viii h man not elected
was p a ed In the Pi es dents office, where
he still remains--it speaks out for the
right. That is rHr; SUNS idea of inde-
pen lenoe. In this respect there will be no
change in its programme for 1879.
THE SUN has fairly earned the hearty
hatred OF riscals, frauds and humbugs Of
all sort. and sizes. 1t hopes t. deserve
that h red not less in the year 1879 than
in 1873, 1877, or any year gone by. THE
sun W Ii continue 10 shine on the wicked
with unmitigated brightness.
Whilst the lessons of the past should be
constantly kept before the people, HE
SUN does not propose to make itself in
1879 magazine of ancient history. 1t is
pr MED for the men and Temen Of to-day,
whose concern is chi, fly with the affairs Of
to-day. 1t has both the dispo ,ition and
the ability to afford its readers the prompt
est, fullest and most accura INTEL, ,gence
Of Whatever in the wide world Is worth at
t,ntion. 10 this md the resources belong
ing to well-established prosperity will be
literally employed.
The present disj' intea condition OF par
ties III this country and the uncertainty OF
tho future lend an extraordinary signif-
cance to the events OF the comi0g year.
The discussions OF the press, the debates
and acts Of Congress, and the movements
of the leaders iu every section Of the he
public, will have direct bearing on the
Presidential election of 1SS0-an event
which must be regarded with the most
anxious interest by every patriotic Amer
ican, whatever his po iticll ideas or slle-
glance. To these elements Of interest may
be added the probability that the Demo-
Gratis VIII control both houses of Congress,
the increasing feebleness OF the fraudulent
Administration, and the spread and
strength, ming everywhere of healthy all
horrence OF fraud in any form. 10 pre-
cent with accuracy and clearness the exact
situation in each OF its vary ing phases, and |
to expound, according TO its we, l-known
methods, the PRINCIPLES that should guide |
US through the labyrinth, will ue an inn
portant part OF THE SUMS work for 1879. |
