St. Landry democrat. (Opelousas, La.) 1878-1894, 1879-03-01
MISCELLANEOUS.


The Sun will be printed every day during, the
wear to come It's purpose and method Will be
the same as i'll the past: 70 present all the
news i'll a readable shape, ana 10 ten ING lruth
thought the heavens fail.
The sun has been is, and will continue to be
independent OF everybody and everything save
the Truth and its own convictions o1 duty.
That Is the only policy which an honest he"
paper need have. That is the policy which has
Won for this newspaper the confidence and
friendship of wider constituency IMAM was
ever enjoyed by any American journal.
The Sun is the newspaper for the people. It
is not for the rich man against the poor man. or
for the poor man against the rlch man, dat IL
seeks to do equal Justice to all interests III com
munity 1t is not the organ of any person, clasc,
sect or party. There need be no lnysery about
its loves and hates. 1t is for the honest man
against the rogues every time. Its Tor 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 utterancts of any politician or pnhti-
cal organization. 1t gives its support unreserv-
edly when men or measures are III agreement
with the Constitution and with the principles
upon WHICH this Rep1nc was 19nnen i1r tine
stitution principles are ylolated-as III the out
rageous conspiracy of 1878, by which man not
elected was placed i'll the PRESIDENTS ofhce,
| where he still remains-it speaks out for the
right. That is The Suns idea of Independence.
| In this respect there will he no change in its
programme for 1879 ,
of rascals, frauds, and humhugs, 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 unmitlgated brightness.
While the lessons Of tho past should be CON
stantly 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 DISPOSE
| ton and the ability to affords its readers the
promptcst, fullest and most accurate INTEL
| gence OF whateverin the wide world is worth at
tention. To this end the Resource belonging to
well established prosperity will be literally EN-
plOyed. $3.50
The present disonted condition OF parties in
this country, and che uncertainty OF the furture,
lend an extraordinary significance to the events
the debates and acts of Congress, and the move
rents of the leaders in every section OF the Re
public will have direct bearing on the Pres
Dental election of 1890-an event which must
be regarded with the most anxious interest by
every patriotic American, whatever his political
ideas or allegianee The these elements OF II. IN
terest may be added the probability that the
Democrats will control both houses OF Congress
the increasing fcchleness of the fraudulent Ad
minstration, and the spread and strengthening
everywhere of healthy adherence OF fraud
in any form. To present with accuracy anC
clcarness the exact situation an each of it,
varying phases. and to expOund, according tt
its weIl-known methods, the principles that
should guide us through the labyrinth, will BIT
an important part of The Suns work for 1879.
We have the means of making The Sun, as s
political, literary and a general newspaper
more entertaining and more useful than ever
before and we mean to amply them freely.
