In this respect there will he no change i'll its

The Sun has fairly earned the hearty hatred
of rascals, frauds and hllmbugs, of all sorts and
size. 1t hopes tn deserve that hatred not less
i'll the year 1879, than ill 1878, 1877 or any year
gone by. Tn- sun will cont hue TO shin on the
wicked with unlnitigated brightness.
While the lessons of the past should be con-
stanty kept before the people, The Sun does
| not propose to make itself in 1879 Il magazine
of ancient history. 1t is printed for the nlen
women of to-day, whose concern s chiefly with
the affairs of to-day. 1t has both the dsposi-

prOmptest, fullest. and lnosr accurate inteIi-
gence of whatever i'll the wide world is worth at
