St. Landry democrat. (Opelousas, La.) 1878-1894, 1879-02-22
MISCELLANEOUS.
THE iS9s9e for 1870.

The Sun will be printed!cvery day during the
! year to come Its purpose and method will be
the same as i'll the past: To present all the
news IN r.. 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
| 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 and
friendship OF wider constituency than was
ever enjoyed by any American Journal.
The Sun is the newspaper for the people. 1t
is not for the rlc. man against the poor man. or
for the poor ntn against the rich man, but it
seeks to do equal justice to all interests i'll COM
munlty. 1t Is not the organ OF any person, Caso,
sect or party. There need be no mysery about
its loves and hates. 1t is for the honest man
against the rogues every time. is for the honest
Democrat as against the dishonest Republican,
and for Tie honest Republican against the
dishonest Democrat 1t does not take its cue
| from the uttcranccs OF AIRY politician or politi-
cal organization. 1t gives its support unreserv-
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-
stitntlOn principles are VlOlated-aS in the out
rageous conspiracy OF 1873, by which man not
elected placed i'll the Presidents office,
right. That is The sun'ssidea of independence
In this respect there via be no change in its
programme for 1879.
Tie sun has fairly earhed the hearty hatred
of rascas, frauds and huanhngs, Of all sorts and
size. 1t hopes to deserve that hatred not less
in the year 1879 than in 1878, 1877, or any year
gone By. The Sun,will continue to shin on the
wicked with unmitlsattd brightness.
While the lessons of the past should be con-
stantly kept before the people, The Sun does
not propose to make itself in 1879 a magazine
women of to-day, whose concern is chiefly with
the affairs of to-day. 1t has both the DISPOSE
ton and the ability to tsfords its readers the
promptest fullest, and most accurate inteli-
eence of whatever In the wide world is worth at
tention. To this end the resource belonging to
well-established prosper y will be liberaly en-
ploycd
The present dsiointed condition of parties in
this country, and the uncertainty OF the fIrtllre
lend an extraordinary Significance to the events
OF the comingyear. 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 a direct bearing on the Prcsi-
dental election OF 1S80-1an event which must
be regarded with the most anxious interest by
every patriotic Americans whatever his political
ideas or allegiance TheHthcse elements of in
terest may be added the probability that the
Democrats will control both houses OF Congress-
theincreasing feehleness of the fraudulent Adj
minstration and the spread and strengthening
everywhere Of a hcalthls adherence of fraud
in any: form. To preseat with accuracy and
clearness the exact situation an each of its
varying phases, and to expOund, according to
its well-known methods the princnlea that
should guide us through Isl the labyrinth, will be
