St. Landry democrat., 1878-11-30
MISCELLANEOUS
The Sssss for 1870.

The Sun will be printed every day during the
year To come. Its purpose and nlctuDd Will he
| he same as Ill the past: 10 present all the
news i'll IL readable shape, and 10 tell the truth
thought the heavens 1itil.
Tue sun Its beiI. is. ;tu will continue to be
in, el end, ut of every body and everyi hing save
tue Truth aud its own CONVICTIONS or duty.
That IS the only policy which an honest new
paper need have. Tnat is tile policy which has
won for this newspaper the confidence and
friendship OF Il wider constituency than Was
ever enjoyed by any American journal.
The Sun Is the newspaper for the people. 1t
Is not for the rich ilLli against the poor man, or
Tor the poor man against tue rlcn man, bat 1t
steks to do equal Justice to ID interests in
nunty, It l., not the organ O' amy person, Clse,
sect or party. There need be no nly stry about
It's loves and hales. 1t is for the honest man
against the rnsuese every time. tits rtne honest
Democrat ;ts against tine dlstlole>t Republican,,
and for the honest Republican as against the
dishonest Democrat. 1t does not take it's cue
from the IltterdlCts of amy p,lltrian Or politl
Cal Organization. 1t gives its support unrtserv
ttlly When men or uitilsurc5 are i'll agreement
With the Constitution aud with the principles
upon which this Republic was founded for the
people. Whenever the Constitution and con
stitutiOn principles are viOlated-as in the out
rageOus conspiracy of 1885, by which IL man not
elected was placed in the Presidents office,
where he sill renlains--it speaks out for the
right. That is The SUNS idea of Independence.
In this respect there will he changs, i'll its
programme for 1879.
The Sun has fairly earned the hearty hatred
of rascas, frauds, and hllnhugs, OF all sorts and
size. 1t hopes tu deserve that hatred not less
i'll the year 1879, than in 1878, 1877, or any year
gone by. The sun will cont nne to shin on the
wicked with unmitigated brightness.
While tile lessons of the past should be con-
stantly kept before the people, The Sun does
not propose to make itself i'll 1879 II magazine
of ancient history. 1t is printed for the men
women of to-day, whose concern is chiefly with
the affairs OF to-day. 1T has both the DISPOSE
ton and the ability to affords its readers the
promptest fullest, aud most accurate intei-
