The SUN FOR 1880.

THE Sun will deal with the events of
the year 1880 in its own fashion, now pref
ty well understood by every body. From
January 1 until December II it will be
conducted rs q newspaper, written in the
English language, and printed for the peo-
pie.
As newspaper, The Sun believes in
getting all the news of the world prompt
ly, and presenting It in the most intclligi-
BILE shape-the shape that sill enable its
readers to keep well abreast of the age
with the least unproductiye expenditure
of time The greatest interest to the
greatest number-that is, the law control
ling its daily makeup. 1t now has cir
culation very much larger than that of any
other American newspaper, and enjoys an
income which it is at all times prepared to
spend literally for the benefit of its read
ers People of all 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,
TIE SUN believes that the guide of policy
should be common sense, inspired by gen
uine American principles and backed by
honesty of purpose. For this reason it is,
and will continue to be, absolutely indie
pendent of party, class, clique, ,rganiza-
ton, or interest. 1t is for all, but Of none.
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 msundel stood 1t

pear on the surface; it has no opinions to
sell, save those which may be had by any
purchaser with two cents. 1t hates nius

unnecessary woods. 1t abhors frauds, pit
les fools and deplores nIncomp0ops of ey-

the year 1880 to chastisc the first c.ass, in

yictlons, whether sound or mistaken are
its friends. And TIE Sun makes no
bones of telling the truth to its friends
and about its friends whenever occasion
arises for plain speaking.
These are the principles upon which
'fME SUN will be conducted during tAe
year to come.

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.
Will they succeed? The coming year will
bring the answers to these momentous
questions. THE Sun will be on hand to
