St. Landry democrat., 1879-06-21
The Sszsa for 1879.

The sun will be printed every day during the
Year to come. Its purpose and method will he
the same as in the past: To present all the
news i'll a readable shape, and to tell the truth
thought the heavens fall.
The Sun has been, is, and will continue to he
independent of everybody and everything save
the Truth and its own convictions of d'ity.
That is the only policy which an honest I,eW-
paper need have. That is the policy which has
won for this newspaper the confidence and
friendship OF wider constituency than was
ever eIioyed 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 in com
lnunity. 1t is not the organ Of any person, case,
sect or party. There need be no nysely about
its loves and hates. 1t is for the honest man
against the rogues every time. It is for the honest
Democrat AS against the dishonest Republican,
AMI for the honest Republican as a%ain2t the
dishonest Dn'necrat. it does not take its cue
tro4n tne utterances of any politician or politi-
cal organization. 1t gives its support unreserv-
edlg when men 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-
stFhtion principles are violated-as, IN the out

programme for 1879.
/. The Sun has fairly earned the hearty hatred
of Fascals, frauds, and humbugs of all sorts and
siZe. 1t hopes to deserve that hatred not hiss
III The year 1879, than in 1878. 1877, or any year
gore by. The Sun will continue to shin on the
wicked with unmitigated brightness.
Nhllc the lessons OF the past should be CON
staAtly 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-
tioEs and the ability to affords its readers the
prGmpteSt, fullest, and most accurate inteli-
geltce of whateverin the wide world is worth at
tention. To this end the resource belonging to
we5l-eStablished prosperity will be literally cal
ployed.
The present disjointed condition of parties in
this country, and the uncertainty of the furtura,

be regarded with the most anxious interest by
every patriotic American, whatever his political
ideas or allegiance. The these elements of i'll

Democrats will control both houses of Congress,
