St. Landry democrat., 1879-06-28
E'zsG Sara for 1879

The sun will be printed every day during the
year to come. It's purpose and method will be
the same rs in the past: To present all the
news i'll Il #eaCahIc shape, and to tell the truth
thought the heavens fall.
The sun has becn is. and will continue to be
! independent OF everybody and everything save
:he 1rlttf 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 5his newspaper the confidence and
friendship OF II wider constituency than was
ever enjOy2d 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
nlllity. It is not the organ OF any person. clase,
sect OF party. There need he no mysely about
its joyes and hates. It is for the honest man
against the rogres every time. It's for the honest
Democrat against the dishonest Republican,
and for the honest Republican as against the
dishonest Democrat It does not take its cue
from the utterances of any politician or polit-
ca! organization. 1t gives its support unreserv-
euiN 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-
stltlttion principles are viOlated-as in the out
elcoted wtss placed i'll the Presidents office,
where he still rcmains--it speaks ont for the
right. That is The Suns idea of independence
Ill this respect there will he 10 change in its
programme for 1879.
The sun :las fairly earned the hearty hatred
OF raScals. frauds, and humbugs 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 10y. The Sln>wi continue to shin on the
wicked with llnsnitigated brightness.
While the lessons of the past should be con
stantly kept before the people, The sun does
not propose to make itself III 1879 a magazine
of ancient history. 1t is printed for the men
women OF to-day; whose concern is chiefly with
ton and the ability to affords its readers the
promptest, fullest, and most accurate nteli-
genee OF Whateverin the wide world is worth at
tentIon. To this end the resource belonging to
wellestablfshed prosperity will be literally en-
ployed.
The present dislointed condition of parties in.
this country, and the uncertainty of the furture,
lena an extraordinary 81 gniHcancC to the events
OF the coming year. To discussion of the press,
the debates and acts of Congress. and the move
ments of tile leaders in every section of the Re-
public will have direct bearing on the Presi-
Dental election of 1880-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 i'll
terest may be added the probability that the
Democrats will control both houses OF Congress.
the increasing feeheness of the fraudulent Adj
minstration, and the spread and strengthening
everywhere of a healthy adherence OF fraud
in any form. To present with accuracy and
ciearness the exact situation an each of its
varying phases and to exp0und, according to
its wellknown methods, the principles that
should guide lis through the labyrinth, will be
