St. Landry democrat., 1879-11-29
The Saasa for 1879.

| The sun will be printed every day during the
| year TO come. Its purpose and method will y.
| the same as in the past: 70 present all the
news IN readable shape, and to tell the trutl
| thought the heavens fall.
| The Sun has been. is and will continue 10 bt
| independent of everybody and everything save
! the Truth and its 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 anC
! friendship OF wider constituency than wa
| ever enjoyed by any American Journal.
! The Sun is the newspaper for tho people. II
is not for the rich man against the poor man. oi
| for the poor man against the rich man. but II
seeks TO do equal justice to all Interests in com
munity. 1t is not the organ Of any person, caSe
sect or party. There need be no nysely about
its loves and hates. 1t Is for the honest mar
against the rOgues every time tits for the honest
Democrat as against the dishonest Republican
and for the honest Republican as against the
dishonest Democrat. 1t does not take it's cue
from the utterances OF any politician or politi
cal organization. 1t gives its support unrescrv
edly 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
stituticn principles are Vlolated--as IN the out
rageous conspiracy of 1878. by which man not
elected was placed III the Presidents office
where he still remains--it speaks out for tho
right. That is The suns idea Of independence
In this respect there will be no change in its
programme for 1879.
The Sun has fairly earned the hearty hatred
of rascals, frauds, and humbugs, OF all sorts and
size. 1t hopes to deserve that hatred not less
in the year 1879. than i'll 1878, 1877 or any year
gone by. The Sun will continue TO shin on the
wicked with unmitigated brightness.
While tho lessons OF the past should be con
stautlv kept before the people The Sun does
not propose to make itself in 1879 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 disposi-
ton and the ability to affords its readers the
promptest, fullest, aud most accurate inteli.
gence of whateverin the wide world is worth at
tention. To this end the resource belonging to
welestablished prosperity will be liberally en-
ployed.
The present disjointed condition of parties in
this 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 and acts of Congress, and the move
ments Of the leaders in every section of the Re
public will have direct bearing on the Presi-
Dental election OF 1s80-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 III
terest may be added the probability that the
Democrats will control both houses OF Congress,
the increasing feebleness of the fraudulent Ad-
minstration, and the spread and strengthening
everywhere Of a healthy adherence Of fraud
in any form. To present with accuracy and
clearness the exact situation an each of its
varying phases, and to expUund, according to
its wel-known methods. the principles that
should guide us through the labyrinth, will be
al important part Of The Suns work for 1879.
