St. Landry democrat., 1879-10-04

TIE !SegAs fOs. 1879,

The Sun will be printed every day during the
year to come. Its purpose and method will he
the same Us in the past: To present ait the
news in u 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 mas
won for this newspaper the confidence and
friendship of a wider constituency than was
ever enjoyed by any American Journal.
The Sun is the newspaper for the people 1t
is not for the rich min against the poor man, or
for the poor man against the rich man, but it
seeks to do equal justice to all interests i'll com
munity, 1t is not the organ of any person, clase,
sect or party. There need be no mysery about
its loves and hates. 1t is for the honest man
against the rogues every time. 1t is for the honest
Democrat as against tho dishonest Republican,
and for the honest Republican as against the
dishonest Democrat. 1t does not take its che
from the utterances of any politician or politi-
cal organization. 1t gives its support unreserv-
eddy when men or measures are III agreement
with the Constitution and with the principles
upon which this Republic was founded for the
people. Whenever the Constitution and con-
s%titution principles are violated-as in the out
rageous conspiracy OF 1879, by wh,Gn a man nai not
where he still remains-it speaks out for the
right. That is The Suns idea Of independence.
In this respect there will be no change in its
programme for 1879.
Z The Sun has fairly earned the hearty hatred
Of ~rascals, frauds, and hambugs, 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 shino on the
wicked with unmitigated brightness.
While the lessons of the past should he 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. It has both the DISPOSE
; ton and the ability to affords its readers the
! proynptest. fullest, and most accurate INTEL
! genee OF, whateverin the wide world is worth at
| ~tention. To this end the resource belonging to
! wcll-cstablished prosperity will be literally em-
piOyed.
The present disjointed condition Of parties in
; this country, and the uncertainty OF the %furtnre,
lend an extraordinary significance to the events
|; of the coming year. To discussion of the press,
! the debates aud acts of Congress-, and the move
! mcrts of the leaders in every section of the Re
| public will have a direct bearing on the Presl.
| Dental election OF 1SSO-an event which must
| be regarded with the most anxious interest by

Democrats will control both houses Of Congress,
the increasing feebleness of the frauduh @at Ad.
