LOS ANGELES. WEDNESDAY MORNING. AUG. ID
LITERARY.
the SUN FOR 1873.

THE SUN will be printed every day
during tn. year to come. Its purpose and
method will be the same as in tho past
To present all the news in readable
shape, anu to tell the truth though the
heavens fall
THE SUN has been, is, and will con-
tinue to be- Independent of ev, rybody and
every thin, Ave the Truth and its Own
convi tons Of duty. That is the policy
which has won for this newspaper the con-
fidence and friendship of wider constitu-
ency than was ever enjoyed by any other
Americas journal.
THE SUN is the newspaper for the peo-
pie. 1t is not Tor the rich man against
the poor man, or for the poor man against
the rich man, but it seeks to do equal JUS
tice to all classes In the community 1t
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 rogues every time. 1t il
for the honest Democrat as against the
dishonest Republican, and for the honest
kepublican as against the dishonest DEM
ocrat. 1t does not take its cue from the
utterances Of any politician Or political or
ganization. 1t gives its support unreserv-
edly when men or measures are in agree
ment with the Constitution and with tn,
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 man not electeo
was placed IN the Presidents Office. wher,
he still remains--it speaks out for til,
right. That is The BUNS idea of indie.
penuenco. Iu this respect there will be no
change in its propramne for 1879.
1HE sun has fairy earned tile hearty
l. of hfIp taI1y Of
ali sorts and sizes. 1t hopes to deserve
that haired not less in the year 1879 than
IN 1878. 1877, or any year gone by. THE
sun will continue to shine on the wicked
with unniitigated brightness.
Whilst the lessons OF the past should be
constantly kept before the people, 1Hk
sun does not propose to make itself in
1879 magazlne of ancient history. 1t If
printed for the men and remen of to-day,
whose concern is chiefly with the affairs OF
to-day. 1t has both the disposition ana
the ability to afford its readers the prompt
est, fullest and most accura intelligence
of Whatever in tho wide world Is worth at
tenton. 10 this End the resources belong
ing to well-established prosperity will be
literally employed.
