St. Landry democrat., 1879-11-15
The S9gsa 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: To present all the
news in Il readable shape, and TO tell tho truth
thought the heavens fall.
The sun has been, Ia, 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 has
won for this newspaper the confidence and
friendship of u wider constituency than was
ever enjoyed 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 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 the dishonest Republican,
and for the honest Republican as against the
dishonest Democrat. Tt does not take its cue
from the utterances OF any politician Or politi-
cal organization. 1t gives its support uDreserv-
edly when men or measures are in 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 yiolated-as in the out
rageous conspiracy Of 1878, by which man not
elected was placed in tho Presidents office,
where he still remains-it speaks out for the
right. That is The SUMS idea of independence.
In this respect there will be no change in its
programme for 1879.
The SUN has fairly earned the hearty hatred
of rascas, frauds, and humbuSs, OF all sorts and
size. IT 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
Tsh hs essons e past ssead be
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 disposi-
ton and the ability to affords its readers the
promptest: fullest, and most accurate inteli-
gence of whatever In the wide world is worth at
fsntion. To this end the resource belonging to
well-estabiished prosperity will be lberally EN-
ployed.
The present disiointed condition of parties in
this country. and the uncertainty of the furture,
le2d an extraordinary significance to the events
of the coming year. TO discussion of the press,
the debates and acts Of Congress, and the move
ments Of the leaders in every section OF the Re
public will have q direct bearing on the Presi-
Dental election Of 13s0-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 in
&erest may be added the probability that the
nsmocrats will control both houses Of Congress,
Che Increasing feebleness of the fraudulent Ad-
nainstra ton, and the spread and STRENGTHENING
eyerywhel's Of Q healthy adherence OF fraud
in any form. TO present with accuracy and
clearness the exact situation an each OF its
varying phases, and to sxpound, according TO
its well-known methods, the principles tnat
should guide us through the labyrinth, viii be
an important part of The suns work for 1879.
