The Superior times. [volume] (Superior, Wis.) 1870-1912, 1879-11-29
THE SUN FOR 1880.

The San will deal with the events of the
year $50 in its own fashion, now pretty we'll
understood by everybody. From January l
until December 81 will be conducted az a
newspaper written in the English language,
and printed for the people
As a newspaper the Sun believes in getting
all the news OF the world promptly, and pre-.
senting ii in the most intelligible shape-thc
shape that VIII enable its readers to keep
well abreast of the age with the least unpro-
ductive expenditure OF time. The greatest
interest TO the greatest number-that is,
the law controlling its daily makeup. 1t
now has circulation very much larger than
that OF any Other American newspaper, and
enjoys an income which it is at all times pre-
pared to spend literally for the benefit of
it's readers. People of all conditions of life
and oil ways of thinking buy and read the
Sun; and they all derive satisfaction Of some
sort from its columns, for they keep on
buying and reading it.
In it's comments on men and affairs, The
Sun believes that the only guide of policy
should be common sense, inspired by
genuine American principles and backed by
honesty OF purpose. For this reason it is,
and viii cyAtinuc to be, absolutely independ-
ent Of party. class, clique, organization, or
interest. 1t is for all, buL Of none. 1t will
continue to praise what is good and repro
bate what is evil, taking care that its
iansHagc IS to the point and plan, beyond
the possibility cf being misunderstood. 1t
is unIutiuanced by motives that do not appear
on the surface; it has no opinions to sell,
save those which may be had by any puT-
chaser with two cents. 1t hates injustice
and rascaHty even more than il hates IN
necessary words. Il abhors frauds, pities
fools, and deplores nincompoops of every
species 1t will continue throughout the
year 1880 to chastise the first class, instruct
the second, and discountenance the third.
All honest men, with honest convictions,
whether sound Or mistaken, are its friends
And the Sun makes no bones of telling the
truth 20 its friends and about its friends
whenever occasion arises for plain speaking.
These are the principles upon which the
SIN will be conducted during the year to
come.
The year 1880 will be one in which no
patriotic american can afford to close his
eyes to public affairs 1t IS impossible to
exaggeTate the Importance of the political
events which it has in store or the necessity
Of resolu'c vigilance on the part of every
eitiTen who desire TO preserve the Govern
p
and acts Of Congress, the utterances Of the
press, the exciting contests Of the republican
aud democratic parties, now nearly equal il
strength throughout the country, the vary
ing drift Of public sentiment will all bear
directly and effectively upon tAc twenty
fourth Presidential election, to be held
in November Four years ago next Noyem-
Der the will Of the nation, as expressed at
the polls, was thwarted by an abominsble
conspi acv, the promoters and benefciares
Of which still hold the offices they stole,
Will the crime ofl876 be repeated in 1880
The past decade of years opened with cor
rupt, extrayaglnt and insolcnt Admini3tra-
ton intrenched at Washington. The Sun
did something toward dislodging the gang
and breaking its power. The same men are
now intriguing to restore their leader and
themselves to places from which they were
driven by the indignation of the people.
VIII they succeed? The coming year will
bring the answer TO these momentous ques-
tons. The S1ta will be on hand to chronicle
the facts as they are developed and to exhibit
them clearly and fearlessly in their relations
to expediency and right.
Thus, with a habit Of philosophical good
humor in looking at the minor affairs Of life,
and in great things a steadfast purpose to
maintain the rights of the people and the
principles of the Constitution against all
aggressors, the SIN is prepared to write
truthful instructive, and at the same time
entertaining history of 1880.
