St. Landry democrat., 1879-09-13
The Sasss for 1879.

The Sun will be printed every day during the
year TO come. Its purpose and method will be
! the same as in the past: Tn present ail the
! news i'll Il readable shape. AMI to tell the truth
/; thought the heavens fall.
! The Sun has been. is and will continue to be
! independent of every body and everything save
! the Truth and its own convictions or duty.
! That Is the only policy which an honest new
paper need have. That is tile policy which has
Won FOR this newspaper the confidence and
friendship Of a wider constituency than was
. ever cnsoycu by any American Journal.
| The Sun is the newspaper for the people. 1t
! Is not for the rich man against the poor man, or
! for the poor man against the rich man, but it
seeks to do equal Justice to Ill interests in COM
munty. II is not the organ of any person, cl;lsc,
sect or party, There need be no mysery about
/ its loves and hates It is for the honest man
against the rogues every time 1t is for the honest
Democrat as against the dishonest Republican,
and for the honest Republican us against the
dishonest Democrat. It does not take its cue
from the uttetanCes OF any politician politi-
cal organizations 1t gives its support unrescrv-
edlY when 1len or measures are i'll 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 out
! rageols conspiracy Of 1873, by which a man not
elected placed i'll the Presidents office
where he still remains-it speaks out for the
right: That is The Suns idea of independence.
! III this respect there will be no change in its
programme for 1879.
The Sun has fairly earned the hearty hatred
of rascas, frauds and humhugs, of all sorts and
size. It hopes to deserve that hatred not less
i'll the year 1879 than in 1878, 1877, or any year
gone by. The SunFwill continue to shin on the
wicked with unInti@atcd 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 magazine
OF ancient history. It is printed for the men
women OF to-day, whose concern is chiefly with
the affairs of to-day. 1t has both the disposi-
tion and the ability to affords its readers the
promptest, fullest, and most accurate inteli-
gence of whatever in the wide world is worth at
tcntion. To this end the Resource belonging to
weil-established prosperity will be literally 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 coningyear. To discussion of the press,
the debates and acts of Congress, and the move
ments of the leaders in every section of the Re
pnblic will have direct bearing Oh the Prcsi-
dental election of 1Ss0-au event which must
be regarded with the most anxious interest by
every patriotic American, whatever his political
ideas Or allegiance. The these elements of in
tercst may be added the probability that the
Democrats will control both houses of Congress,
the increasing fechlcncss of the fraudulent Adj
mlIlstTation, and the spread and Strengthening
every where of a healthy adherence of fraud
in any form. To present with accuracy and
clearncss the exact situation an each of it's
varyin" phases. and to exlnund according to
its well-known methods, the principles that
should guide us through the labyrinth, will be
an important part of The Suns work for 1879.
We have the means of making The Sun, ss a
political, a literary and general newspaper
more entertaining and more useful than ever
before and We mean to apply them freely.
