St. Landry democrat., 1879-09-06
The SRxsa for 1879.

Tic sun will be printed every day during the
year to come. Its purpose and method will be
the same i'll the past: To present all the
news i'll a readable shape, and to tell the truth
thought the heavens fall.
The sun has been, is. and will continue to be
Independent Of everybody and everything save
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 Ivy any American journal.
The sun is the newspaper for the people. It
is not for the rich man against the poor man, or
seeks to do equal justice to all Interests i'll com
mullity. IT is not the organ of any person claSe.
sect or party. There need he no myscry about
its loves and hates. 1t is for the honest man
against the r0gueS every time. It's for the honest
Democrat as against the dishonest Republican,
and for the honest Republican as against the
dishonest Democrat 1t does not take its cue
from the utteranccS OF amy politician pOliti-
cal organization. 1t gives its support unrtScrv-
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-
stittttiOn principles are vlolated-;,s in the out
ragconS conspiracy of 1873, by which man not
elected was placed i'll the Presidents office,
where he still rcmalns-it speaks out for the
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 hnmhugs of all sorts and
size. 1t hopes to deserve that hatred not less
i'll the year 1879, than in 1873. 1877, orany year
gone by. The Suniwll 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. 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
promptcst. fullest. and most accurate inteli
Tcnce of whateverin the wide world is wOrtli at
tcntlon. To this end the Resource belonging to
wel[established prosperity will be liberally em
ploycd.
The present diSiointcd condition of parties in
this country, and the uncertainty of the fnrture
lend an extraordinary significance tothe events
of the c0mingyear. To discussion of the press,
the debates and acts of Congress, and the move
mcnts OF the leaders i'll every section of the Re
public will have direct bearing on the Presi
dental election OF 1SS0-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 i'll
terest may be added the probability that the
Democrats will control both houses of Congress,
the increasing feebleneSS of the fraudulent Adj
minstration, and the spread and strengthening
everywhere of 4 healthy adherence of fraud
III any form. To present with accuracy and
clearncss 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 tile labyrinth. will be
an important part of The Suns work for 1879.
