St. Landry democrat. (Opelousas, La.) 1878-1894, 1879-01-18
MISCELLANEOUS,
The Sazsa for 1870.

The sun will I've printed every day ,luriug the
year to COME. Its purpose and method will be
the same lis in the past: To present all the
news in Il readable shape, and to tell tho truth
thought the heavens fall.
The sun has hceu, is. and will continue to be
independent OF everybody and every thug save
That Is the only policy which an honest new
paper need have. That i, the policy which has
won for this newspaper the confidence and
friendship of a wider constituency than was
ever enjoyed by any American Journal,
The sun is the newspaper for the people. 1t
is not for the rich man against the poor man. or
seeks to do equal justice TO all Interests in com
munity. 1t Is not the organ Of any person CHASE,
sect or party. There need he no lnyscry about
its loves aud hates. 1t is for the honest man
against the rogtlts every time It'll for the honest
Democrat as against the dishonest Republican,
and for the honest Republican as against the
dishonest Democrat 1t dos not take its cue
from the utterances Of any politician or politi-
cal organization. 1t gives ts support unrescrv-
eddy when men or measures are in agreement
with the Constitution and with the principles
upon which this Republic was founded for the
people. Whenever the Constitution and con-
stitution principles are violated-as in the ont
rageous conspiracy OF 1878, by which man not
elected was placed in the Presidents office
where he still renains--it speaks on, for the
right: That is Tho Suns idea of Independence
In this respect there will be no change in it's
programme for 1879.
The Sun has fairly earned the hearty hatred
OF rascals, frauds and humhugs OF all sorts and
size. 1t hopes to deserve that hatred not less
in the year 1872 than In 1878, 1877, or any year
gone by. The Sun will continue to shin on the
wicked with unmitigated brightness.
While the Lessons OF the past should he con.
stantly kept before. the people, The Sun does
not propose to make itself In 1879 magazine
OF ancient history. It la printed for the men
women of to-day. whose concern il chiefly with
the affairs OF to-day. 1t has both the DISPOSE
ton ami the ability to affords its readers the
promptest. fullest, and most accurate inteli-
gtnce of Thateveri i'll the wide world is worth at
tcntion. To this end the resource belonging to
wcll-established prosperity will be literally EN-
ployed
The present disjointed condition of parties in
TINS country. and the uncertainty OF the furture,
lend an extraordinary significance to the events
of the coming year. To discussion of the press
the debates aud acts of Congress. and the move
mcnts of the leaders in every section OF the r..
public will have direct bearing on the Presi-
Dental election Of lS3A-an event which must
be regarded with the most anxious interest by
every patriotic American, whatever his political
ideas or allegiance. The these elements of ill.,
terest may be added the probability that the
Democrats will control both houses of CONGRESS.
