St. Landry democrat., 1879-07-12
The SsgSs for 1870,

The sun will be printed evc1r- lay during the
year to come. Its purpose and. method will be
the same as i'll the past: To present all the
news in Il readable shape, aud to tell the truth
thought the heavens fall.
The sun has been, is. aud will continue to he
independent of everybody and everything save
| the Truth and its OWL 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 Amer lean journal.
me sun IS the newspaper for the people 1t
is not Tor 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
lnnnity. 1t is not the org OF any person. clase,
sect Or party. There nea Il he no mYSeTy about
Its loves and hates. 1t is for the honest man
against the rogueS every time 1t is for the honest
Democrat as against til G dishonest Republican.
and for the honest Re publican as against the
dishonest Democrat. 1t does not take it's cue
from the ntteranceS of any politician or politi-
cal organization. 1t gives its support unrcserv-
culE Wncn men or measures are in agreement
with the Constitution and with tile principles
upon which this Republic was founded for the
people. Whenever the Constitution and con-
stltuton principles are yio!ated-as i'll the out
ragcous conspiracy of 1878, by which IMAM not
elected was plae ed i'll the Presidents office.
Where ne still remains-it speaks out for the
right: That is The Suns idea of independence
III thls respect there will be 10 change in its
programme for 1879.
The Sun has fairly earned the hearty hatred
OF rascals frauds, ;and humbugs. of ali sorts and
size. 1t hopes to deserve that hatred not less
III the year 1879. than in 1878, 1877, or any year
gone by. The Sun'will continue to shin on the
wicked with unmitiyated brightness.
While the lessons of the past should he con-
stanty kept before the people. The Sun does
not propose to make itself in 1879 a 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 dsposi-
ton and the ability to affords its readers the
pronptest. fullest, and most accurate iHteli-
%ence eot.Whateverin the wide world is worth at
tentlon. To this end the Resource belonging to
WelleStablIshed prosperity will be liberalIy en-
plOyed.
The present disointed condition of parties in
this country, and the uncertainty of the furture
lend an extraordinary significance to the events
OF tne colhlhgy year. TO discussion of the press,
the debates and acts of Congress, and the move
menus OF the leaders in every section of the Re
public will have direct bearing on the Presi-
dental election of 1Sso-an event which must
De regarded with the most anxious interest by
every patriotic American, whatever his political
ideas or allegiance. The these elements of in
terest may be added the probability that the
the increasing feebleness of the fraudulent Ad- !
and the spread and strengthening
everywhere of q healthy adherence of fraud
IN any FORM 10 present with accuracy and |
clearness the exact situation an each of its |
varying phases, and to expound, according to |
its Well-knoWn methods, the principles that |
should guide lis through the labyrinth, will be |
an important part OF The Suns work for 1879
