St. Landry democrat., 1879-04-19
MISCELLANEOUS
TvEse Sara for 1879.

The Sun will be printed every day during the
year to come. Its purpose and method will be
tho Same as in the past: TIE present all the
news i'll readable shape and to tell the trllt Ii
thought the heavens fail.
The Sun has been. is, and will continue to he
independent Of everybody and evcry1 hing save
That IS the only policy which al honest new
paper need have That is the policy which has
won for this newspaper the confidence and
friendship of q wider constituency than was
ever enjoyed by any American journal.
The sun is the newspaper for the people. It
10 not for the rich man against TIE poor man or
for the poor man against the rich MAJ. but it
seeks to do equal justice to all interests in com
munlty. 1t IS not the organ OF any person. clasc,
sect or party. There need IL no ElySury about
its loves and hates. 1t il for the honest man
against the rogucs every time. 1t is for the honest
Democrat as against the dishonest Republican,
and for the honest Republican Ms against tie
dishonest Democrat. 1t docs not take its cue
from the utteranccs of any politician or peliti-
cal organization. 1t gives its support u!,rcscry-
etlly when men or measures ara in agreement
with the Constitution and with the pr2nclplra
upon which this REPUBLIC was founded for the
people. Whenever the Constitution and CON
stitution principles are Tiolated-as in the out
rageous conspiracy of 1873, by which a man hot
elected was placed in the Presidents office
where he still rtmains-it speaks out for the
right That is The Suns idea OF Independence.
In this respect there will be no change III its
programme for 1879.
The Sun has fairly earned the hearty hatred
OF rascals, frauds. and hnlubrgs 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 ny. The Sun will continue 10 shin en- the
wicked with unmtigated brightness.
While the lessons Of the past should be con
stantly kept before tho people, The san does
not propose to make itself in 1879 a urarazinc
OF ancient history. 1t is printed for the men
women OF to-day, whose concern is chiefly with
the affairs of to-day. It has both the DISPOSE
ton and the ability to affords it's readers the
promPJest, fullest, and most accurate inteii-
gence OF whatever in the wide world is worth at
tention, To this end the resource belonging 10
well-estabiished prosperity will be literally en-
ployed.
The present disjointcd condition OF parties in
this country, and the uncertaintyo of the furture.
lend an extraordinary Significance to the events
Of the coming year To discussion of tie press
the debates and acts of Congress, and the move
lnents OF the leaders III every section Of the Re
public will have direct bearing on the Prcsi
Dental election Of 1s8o-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 III
tcrest may be added the probability that the
Democrats will control both houses of Congress,
heincreasing feebleneSs OF the fraudulent Adj
mnstration, and the spread and STRENGTHENING
everywhere of healthy adherence Of fraud
in any form. To present with accuracy and
clearness the exact situation All each of its
varying phases, and to eApound according to
It's wen-known methods, the principles that
should guide lis through the labyrinth will he
an important part of The Suns work for 1879.
