Saint Mary's beacon. [volume] (Leonard Town, Md.) 1867-1983, 1878-11-21
TIE sun FOR 1879.

THE Sex will he printed every day durTng the
year 90 come. It's purpose and method will be
the same as in the past: To present all the news
in a readable shape, and to tell the truth though
d o heavens fall.
rHE Sux has been, Is, and will continue TO be
independent Of everybody aud everything save
the Truth and its own convictions Of duty. That
Ia the only policy which an honest newspaper need
have That Is the policy which has won for this
Newspaper the confidence and friendship Of @
wider constituency than was ever enjoyed by any
OF! er American Journal.
TINS SUx is the newspaper for the people. II
IN not fur the rich man against the poor man, or
for the poor man against the rich man, but IL
seeks TO do equal justice TO all interests in the
community. IL Is not the organ of any person,
class, sect or party. TherC need be no mystery
about its loves and hates. II is for the honest
man against the rogues every time. IL is for the
honest Democrat as against the dishonest Re
publ an, ard for the honest Republican as
against the dishonest Democrat. IL docs not
take It's cue from the utierances Of any politician
or political organization. IL gives its support
unrcseryedly when men or measures are in agree
ment with the Constitution and with the princi-
pies upon which this Republic was founded for
the people. Whenever the Constitution and con-
stitutional principles are volaied-as in the out
rageous conspiracy OF 1876, by which man not
elected was placed in the President Office, where
De stills remains-it speaks cut for the right
That l. THE Sens idea ofindependence. In this
respect there viii be no change in its programme
for 1879.
TnE Sun has fairly earned the hearty hatred Of
rascals, frauds, and humbugs Of all sorts and
sizes II hopes TO deserve that hatred not less in
the year 1879, than in 1873, 1877, or any year
gone by. THg SUS will continue 10 shine on the
wicked with unmitigated brightness.
While the lessons of the past should be constant
~ kept before the people, THE SUN does not pro-
pose 20 make itself in 1879 magazine Of ancient
history. II Is printed for the men and women
Of to-day, whose concern Is chiefly with the af-
fairs Of to-day. II has both the disposition and
the ability TO afford its readers the promptest,
fullest, and most accurate intelligence Of whateT-
or in the wide world is worth attention. Tothis
end the resources belonging to well-established
prosperity will be literally employed.
The present disjointed condition Of parties in
this country, and the uncertainty Of the future,
lend an extraordinary significance to the events
Of the coming year. The discussions of the press,
the debates and acts Of Congress and the move
ments OF the leaders in every section Of the Re
public will have q direct bearing on the Presi-
Dental election of lsS0-an event which must be
regarded with the most anxious interest by eve
~ patriotic American, whatever his political
ideas or allegiance. To these elements finter-
eat may be added the probability that the Demo-
Gratis will control both houses Of Congress the
increasing feebleness OF the fraudulent Admins
tratiOn, and the spread and strengthening every
where Of q healthy adherence Of fraud in any
form. To present with accuracy and clearness
the exact situation in each Of its varying phases,
and 10 expound. according 10 It's well-known
methods, the principles that should guide us
through the labyrinth, will be an important part
OF fhe Suns work for 1879.
