St. Landry democrat., 1878-11-16
The SsSze for 1879.

The Sun will be printed every day during the
year to come. 1ts It.; purpose and method viii he
he same as In the past: To present all the
news in a readable shape, and to tell the truth
Thought the heavens full.
" The Sun has been, Is, and will continue to be
independent of everybody and everything save
the Truth and it's own convictions OF duty.
That is, the only policy which an honest new
paper need have. That Is the policy which has
won for this newspaper the Confidence and
friendship Of wider constituency than was
ever enjoyed by any American Journal.
The Sun is the newspaper for the people. It
is not for the rich man against the poor man, or
for the poor man against the rich man, but it
seeks to do equal Justice to all interests in com
sect or party. There need be no nysery about
its loves and hates. It is for the honest man
against the rogus every time. 1t is for the honest
Democrat as against the dishonest Republican,
and for the honest Republican as against the
dishonest Democrat. It does not take its cue
rtom the utterances OF any politician or politi-
cal organization. 1t gives its support unreserv-
edly when men or measures are IN agreement
with the Constitution and with the principles
upon which, this Republic wac founded for the
people. Whenever the Constitution and con-
rageous conspiracy OF 1873, by which man not
elected was placed in the Presidents Office,
where he. still remains-it speaks out for the
right. That In The SUMS idea of independence
In this respect there will be no change in Its
programme for 1878. z.
The Sun has fairly earnest the hearty hatred
# rascals, frauds. and hunbugs, Of all sorts and
size: 1t hopes to deserve that hatred not less
| IL the year 1875, than in 1878, 1877. or any year
gone by. The Sun Will continue TO shin on the
