MISCELLANEOUS.
the SUN FOR 1879.

THE SUN will be printed every o.y
during the year to come. Its pui pose 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 the
heavens fall.
THE SUN has been, is, and will con-
tinue to be independent of everybody and
everything cave the Truth and its own
convictions Of duty. That is the policy
which has won for this newspaper the con-
tidence and friendship of wider constitu-
ency thHn was ever enjoyed by any other
american Journal.
THE SUN is the newspaper for the peo-
pie. 1t is not Tor the rich man ag ainst
the poor mau, or for the poor man against
the rich man, but it seeks to do equal JUS
tlce to all classes in the community 1t is
not tho 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 rogues every time. 1t is
for the honest Democrat as against the
dishonest Republican, and for the honest
Republican as against the dishonest Dem
ocrat. 1t does not take its cue fro N the
utterances Of any politician or political or
ganlzation. 1t gives its support unreserv-
edly when men or measures are in agree
ment with the Constitution and with the
principles upon which this Republic, was
founded Tor the people. Whenever The
Constitution and constitutional principles
are violated-as in the outrageous conspir-
acy Of 1876, by which q man not elected
was p n ed IN the Presidents Office, where
he Still remains--it speaks out for the
right. That is III Il. SUMS idea Of inde-
pendence. In this respect there will be no
change in its programme for 1879.
The sun has fairly earned the hearty
hatred of r4scals, frauds and humbugs Of
all sort. and sizes. 1t hopes to deserve
IN 1878, 1877, or any year gone by. THE
SUN will continue TO shine on the wicked
with unnitigated brightness.
Whilst the lessons OF the past should be
constantly kept before the people, The
SUN does not propose to make itself in
1879 a magazine Of ancient history. 1t il
printed for the men and women Of to-day,
whose concern is chiefly with the affairs OF
to-day 1t has both the disposition and
the ability to afford its readers the prompt
est, fullest and most accura O intelligence
Of whatever in the wide world is worth at
tention. To this end the resources belong
ing to well-established prosperity will be
literally employed.
The present disj jointed condition OF par
ties in this country and the uncertainty of
the future lend an extraordinary signif-
canoe to the events of the coming year.
The discussions OF the press, the debates
and acts OF Congress, and the movements
of the leaders iu every section Of the Re-
public, will have direct bearing on the
Presidential election of 1880--an event
which must be regarded with the most
anxious interest by every patriotic Amer
ican, whatever his political ideas or slie- !
glance. To these elements Of interest may |
be added tho probability that the Demo- |
Gratis II control both houses of Congress,
the increasing feebleness OF the fraudulent |
Administration, and the spread and
strength ming everywhere Of healthy al,
horrence of fraud in any form. To pre-
cent with accuracy and clearness the exact
situation in each of its varying phases, and
to expound, according 10 its weil-known
us though the labyrinth, will be an i'm
portant part OF THE SUMS work for 1879. |
We have the means o. making THE
SUN, as literary. II political and gen
eral newspaper, more entertaining and |
more useful than ever before; and we
mean to apply them freely.
