The Pascagoula democrat-star. (Pascagoula, Miss.) 1878-1920, 1878-11-29
TILE sun FOR 1879.

The sun will be printed every day dur
ing the year to come Its purpose and
method will be the same us in the present 4:
70 present all thenews ia IA readable shape,
and to tell the truth though the heavcns
tall.
The Sun has been, IL, and will continue
to he independent of everybody aud every
thing save the Truth and its own convIc-
tions of duty. That is the only policy
which has won for this newspaperthe con-
iidence and friendship of a wider con
stimoncy than WAS ever enjoyed by any
other American journal.
The Sun is the newspaper for the peo-
pie. 1t is not for the rich man against the
poor man, or for the poor man against the
rich man, but it seeks to do equal justice
TO all interests in the community, it IL
not the organ Of any person, class, sect or
party. There need he no mystery about
it's loves and hates. 1t Is for the honest
man against the rOgueS every time. IL Is
forthc honest Democrat as against the dis
honest Republican, aud for the honest he
publican as against the dishonest Demo
cIat. 1t does not take its cue from the
u]ttrrances of any politician or polltlcal
organization. Ii gives its support unre-
scrycdly when men or measures are IN
agreement WIththG Constitution and with
the principles upon which this Republic
was founded tor tie people. whenever
the Constitution and constitutional prIh-
ciplcs are violatcd-as in the outrageous
conspiracy of 1876, by which IA man not
elected was placed in the Presidents of
flee, where he stills rcInaius-it speaks out
for the right That is the suns idea of
Independence. In this respect there will
be no change in the programme for lS79.
The SUN has fairly earned the hearty
hatred OF ~rascals, frauds and humbugs of
all sorts and sizes. 1t hopes to deserve
that hatred not less in the year 1873, than
in lS7S, l-77, or any year gone by. The
sun Will continue to shine up the wicked
with uumitigatcd brightness.
While the lessons Of the past should bc
constantly kept before the people,, the
sun does not pr"pos' to make itself IN
l~19 q magazine of ancient history. 1t is
printed for the men aud women of to-day, |
whose concern is chiefly WIththc affairs OF
to-day. 1t has both the disposition and
the ability to afford ltSreadcrs the prompt
test, fullest, and most accurate intelligence
of whatever in the wide world is worth at
|trution. 70 this end the resources be
longing to wCll-rstablishcd prosperity will
be- literally employed.
The present disiointcd condition of par
lt'N Ut riilN NN'A''''AF = 'tA'A A''N ~ 80
of the future, lend an extraordinary sig
ujHrHncc TO thccveuts Of the cominy year.
The discussion of the press, and th6'de-
bates and acts OF Congress, and the move
Ut the leaders in every section of
the Republic will have Il direct bearing on
he Presidential election of l6SO-an event
must be regarded with the most
lnNIUus interest by every patriotic Amerl-
whatever his political ideas or ale
To these elements of interest may
Sc added the probability that the Demo
rats will control both houscsof Congress,
he increasing tcebleness of the fraudulent
Administration, and the spread and
strengthening everywhere OF a healthy
of fraud in any form. TO re
cent with accuracy and clearncss the cX-
.ct situation meach of its VaryingphaSes,
md to eNpGund. according to its we'll
,nOWn methods, the principles that should
us through the labyrinth, will be an
mportant part of the Suns work for 1879.
We have the means of making the Sun.
IS a political, a literary and II general
newspaper, more entertaining and more
JsctuI than ever before; and We mean to
.pply them freely.
