.N.EY PORK. SUN, 1852.

TUE SUN for 1882 will make it's fifteenth
i annual revolution under the present man,
agement, shining as always, dor a n,s d anu ,,n'
happy, Republican and Democratlc, delfaHeu
and yirtuous, intelligent and obtuse. Ihe
Suns light is for mankind and WomanKlnd OF
every sort bat it's genial warmth is for the
good, while it pours hot discomfort on the
Clustering backs of the persistently wicked:
The Sun of 1868 was newspaper OF q new
kind It discarded many of the forms, ana
multitude of the supertiuoris words and phrases
of ancient journalism. 1t undertook TO ferort
in fresh, succinct, unconventional way al.
the news Of the world. Omitting no event OF
human interest, and commenting upon AFFAIRS
with the fearlessness of absolute independence.
The success of this EXPERIMENT. was the success
Of The Sun: 1t effected permanent @ cnamge in, III
tjle style OF American newspapers. Every I'M
portant journal established III TINS country III
the dozen years past has been modelled aIter
The Sun. Every Important Journal alreany h,e .'s
existing has been modified and bettefed py the
force of The Suns example
The Sun of 1882 will be the same outspoken,
truth-telling, and interesting newspaper.
By liberal use of the means which an abun-
dant prosperity affords, we shall make 1t better
We shall print all the news, putting it into
readable shape aud us s m re reai
interest to the people; Distance from Prlntlng
House Square is not the first consideration with
The Sun. Whenever anything happens worm a
repcrting we get the particulars, whether III
happens in Brooklyn or in Bokllara
In politics we have decided opinions; and are
accustomed to express them III language tnat
can be understood. We say what we think
about men and events. That habit is the only
secret of The Suns political course.
The Weekly Sun gathers into eight pages the
matter of the seven daily issues An Agrlcul-
| tl1ral Department OF unequalled merit, full

Taxpayers Organ.l

AS the Taxpayers are passing into
the lions mouth, they begin to discover
their danger, and see the necessity OF
standing shoulder to shoulder in this
hour OF peril. The harpies are all out
IN full chorus, crying for more blood,
and all the little picdynne coteries are
throwing up their hands, rolling the
whites of their eyes and screeching to
the top of their furry voices,
"Blood, more blood"
These little picawtne coteries were
never accused of course of having any
souls OF their own, or ii they may be
supposed to have any, are always ready
to sell them for consideration, and
small one at that, for picayune affairs
cannot be expected to bring much
The market price of thing is what it
is worth generally, and the smaller 1t Is
: the more pieayuaish the price.
The Taxpayers of New Orleans are
fighting the battle of every honest citi-
zen who is interested in it's prosperity.
Their policy looks to it's redemption,
to widespread, lasting and brilliant
prosperity; and it is the only one that
can possibly achieve this result. 1t IS
the policy that invites capital. 1t is
the policy that attracts immigrants.
1t is the policy that will develop our
resources. 1t is the policy that will
cover our vacant lots with new build
ings, and give employment to multi
tudes OF busy hands and active brains;
1t is the policy of encouragement and
hope; the policy OF cheer and, life AND
energy. 1t is opposed to the policy OF
repression, of eXtOrtiOn, OF plunder ul-
der the name of taxation and the forms
of law-precisely what was done undel
the late Saturaaia. The taxpayers and
license payers have already been driven
to the wall, and they propose to make
stand, however loud may scream the
Dlundering rings and their little plea
yunish mouth pieces.
Beneath the agis of the Constltut0,
they propose to take their stand, ant
fight the battle for the city and tlit
State, for the right to have at least
share of their own earnings and tn
revenues Of their own property. I'M
Constitution declares, article 2O9, tina
taxation for all purposes whatsoeve
shah not exceed ten mills on the dO!la
of valuation y and furthermore, artlcl
203, /" that the taxpayers shall have tn
right of testing the correctness OF thel
assessments before the courts OF JUS
tice.n In the teeth of such DEGREES, tn
taxpayers don't propose to subml
willingly to tax of thirty or thirty.tts
Mills, and the big blood suckers, an
all their little picayunish claquers an
tide walters can take notice OF Tn
fact.
St. Landry democrat., 1882-01-07

We copy the following good advice
from the Golden Censor: Sooner or
later, friends, the time for folded hands
will come to us all. Whether or not
we cease from hurry and worry now,
we shall one day shut our eyes upon it,
and lie still untroubled by the stir and
fret OF things about US. Why not take
comfort as we go on lou, pfouG
mothers Of beautiful, active boy. OF
what use will it be to you to remember
how equisitely fine was his raiment, how
daintily spread his bed, and how costly
and profuse his toys9 What it needs
is mothering, tender resting on your
heart, and he needs itevery step OF the
way from babyhood to manhood. Take
the comfort of your opportunities.
Never mind though the dress be coarse,
and the food plain, the play things few,
but answer the questions, tell the stO-
ries, spare the half-hour at bed time,
and be merry and gay, confidential and
sympathetic with your boys. And you,
whose graceful young daughter ls just
slushing out into the bloom and fresh
ness Of wondrously fair womanliness,
do not be so occupied with your ambl-
tion for her own advancement in life,
that YOU let her ways and your own
fail anart. Why does she visit here
and there, and receive, visitors from
this and that home, and you scarcely
know the people by sight You are
losing precious hours, and the comfort
YOU ought to take is flying fast away
ON these wings of time that are never
oyertaken."
