MISCELLANEOUS.
rHE SUN FOR 1880.

The SUN will deal with tho events of
the year 1880 in its own fashion, now pretty
we'll understood by everybody. From jan
uary until December 81 it will be con-
Quoted as a newspaper, written in the Eng
lish language, and printed for the people.
As newspaper, THE Sun believes in
getting all the news OF the world promptly,
and presenting it in the most Ineligible
shape-the shape that will enable its read
ers to keep well abreast OF the age with the
least unproductive expenditure of time.
The greatest interest to the greatest num-
ber-that is the law controlling its daily
makeup. 1t now has o circulation very
much larger than that Of any other Amer
lean newspaper, and enjoys an incoms
which it is ut all times prepared to spend
literally for the benefit Of its readers.
People Of sill conditions OF life and all 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 its 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 will continue to be, abso-
lutely independent OF party, class, clique,
organization or interest. 1t is for all, but
Of nons. 1T will continue to praise what
is good and reprobate what is evil, taking
care that its language is to the point and
plain, beyond the possibility of being mls-
understood. 1t is uninfuenced by motives
that do not appear on the surface; it has no
opinions to sell. save those which may be
had by any purchaser with two cents. 1t
hates injus tice and rascality even more
than it hates unnecessary words. 1t abhors
frauds, pities tools, and deplores nincom-
poops OF every species. 1t will continue
| throughout the year 1880 to chastise the
| first class, instruct tie second and discoun-
| tenanee the third. ALI honest mon. with
| honest convictions, whether sound or MS
taken, are its friends. And THE SUN
makes no bones Of telling the truth to its
| friends and about its friends whenever o.
casion arises for plain speaking.
These are the principles upon which
THE sUN will DO 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. IT. is impossible to
| exaggerate the importance OF the political
events which it has in store, or the neces-
sity of resolute vigilance on the part OF
every citizen who desires to preserve the
Government that the founders gave us.
| The debates and acts of Congress, the ut
terances of the press, the exciting contests
of the Republican and Democratic parties,
now neal y equal in strength throughout
| the country, the varying drift OF public
sentiment, will all bear directly and effect
| iyely upon the twenty-fourth Presidential
election, to be- held III November. Four
years ago next November the will OF the
nation, as expressed at the polls, was
| thwarted by sn abominable conspiracy, the
promoters and beneicisries Of which still
| hold the offices they stole. Will the crime
| Of 1876 be repeated in 1880? The past dec
| ade of years opened with a corrupt, extrav-
agant and insolent Administration in
| trenched at Washington. THE Sun did
something toward dislodging the gang and
breaking its power. The same mon are
now intriguing 10 restore their leader and
| themselves to places from which they were
driven by the Indignation of the people.
Will they succeed? The coming year will
bring tue answers to these momentous
questions. THE sun will be on hand to
chronicle the facts as they are developed,
and to exhibit them clearly and fearlessly
in heir relations to expediency and right.
Thus, with habit OF philosophical good
humor in looking ct the minor aifai.s Of
lie, and in great things q steadfast pur-
pose to maintain the rights OF the people
and the principles of the Constitution
against ali aggressors, THE SUN is pre-
pared to write truthful, instructive and
Ut the same time entertaining history OF
1880.
