The Colfax chronicle. [volume] (Colfax, Grant Parish, La.) 1877-1981, 1879-02-01
THE sun.
9. NEW YORK.
1879.

IKE Sun viii be printed every day du-
ring the year to come. Its purpose and
method will be the same as in the past
To present all the news in u readable
shape, and to tell the truth though the
heavens fall.
TIE Sun has been, is, and will con-
tinue to be independent of everybody
aud everything save the Truth and it,
own convictions of duty. That il ths
only policy which an honest newspaper
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 other
American journal.
The sun is the newspaper for the peo-
pie. It is not for the rich man against
the poor man, or for the poor man against
the rich mail, but it seeks to do equal
justice to all interests in the community.
II is not the organ of any person, class.
sect OF party. There need be no mys-
terry about its loves and hates. II is for
the honest man against the rogues every
time. 1t is for the honest Democrat a.
against the dishonest Republican. and for
the honest Republican IA against the
dishonest Democrat. Ii does not take
it's cue from the utterances of any poll
ticisn or political organization. 1t gives
its support unreservedly when men or
measures are in agreement with the
Constitution and with the principles up
on which this Republic was founded for
the people. Whenever the Constitution
and constitutional principles are violated
las in the outrageous conspiracy Of
1876, by which a mali not elected wa
placed in the Presidents Office, where he
stillaemains-it speaks ont for the right.
That is The SUS's idea of Independence.
1t this respect there will be no change
in its programme tor 1879.
The Sun has fairly earned the hearty
hatred of rascals, frauds, and humbugs
serve that hatred not less in the year
1879, than in l57e, 1877, or any year
gone by. The sun will continue to shine
on the wicked with unmitigated bright
ness.
While the lessons of the past should
be constantly kept before the people.
The SUS does not propose to make itself
in 1879 magazine OF ancient history.
IL is printed for tho men and women Of
to-day, whose concern is chiefly with
the affairs of to-day. It has both the
disposition and the ability to afford its
readers the promptest, fullest, aud most
accurate intelligence of whatever in the
wide world is worth attention. To THE
end the resources belonging to we'll
established prosperity will be literally
employed.
The present .disjointed condition of
par ties in this country, and the uucer-
tainty of the future. lend An extraordina-
~ significance to the events of the COM
ing year. The discussions of the press.
The debates aud acts of Congress, and
the movements of the leaders in every
rect bearing on the Presidential election
of lSo0--an event which must be regard
cd with the most anxious interest by
every patriotic American, whatever his
political ideas or allegiance. To these
elements OF interest may be added the
probability that the Democrats will con-
troll both houses OF Congress. tho in
creasing feebleness of the fraudulent
Administration. and the spread and
strengthening everywhere of healthy
adherence OF fraud In Sny form. To
present with accuracy nd clearness the
exact situation in eaph of it's varying
phases, and to eypound, Icording to its
well-known methods, the principles that
should guide rs through the labyrinth.
will be an important part OF TIE Sus's
work for 1879.
