St. Landry democrat., 1879-06-07
T'Ese Sgess for 1870.

The Sun will be printed every day during the
year t" come. It's purpose and method will be
the same ts in the past: 70 present all the
news III 3 readable al;1lic and to tell the truth
thought the heavens fail.
The SUN has ne1n. is, and will continue to be
independent ot everybody and everything save
That Is the only policy WHICH an honest lew
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 hy any American Journal.
ti!o ,2il Is the newspaper for the people, It
is not for the rich against tlie poor man,
for the poor man against the rich man, but it
seeks t" do equal Justice 30 all interests i'll COM
munlty. It is not the organ of amy person, clasc
sect or party. There need he no myscry about
its loves and hates. 1t is for the honest man
against the rOgueS every time 1t is fOrthc honest
Del' ccI;tt as against the dishonest Republican,
aud for the honest Republican as against the
dishonest Dem. crat. It does not take its cue
from the Utterauccs Of any politician or poti-
cal organization 1t gives its support unrcscrv-
edly when men or measures are iii agreement
with the Constitution arid with the principles
upon Which this Republic WAS founded for the
people. Whenever the Constitution and con
stituticn principles are ylolated-aS in the out
ragcoils conspiracy of 1873, by which q man not
ele2tcd was placed i'll the Presidents office,
where ne still relnains-it speaks out for the
right. That IS The Suns idea of independence.
In thlS RESPECT there will be no change in its
programme for 1879
The Sun has fairly earned the hearty hatred
OF rascaIs frauds. and humbugs, of all sorts and
size. 1t hopes to deserve that hatred not less
IN the year I ls1Ss than II 1879 1871 orony year
wicked with uninitgated brightness.
While the lessons Of the past should be con
stantly kept before the people, The Sun does
not propose to make itself in 1879 a magazjne
OF ancient history. It is printed for the men
women OF to-day, whose CONCERN is chiefly with
the affairs OF to-day. It has both the disposi-
ton and the ability to affords its readers the
pronptest, fullest, and most accurate inteli-
genGe of Wlateverin the wide world is worth at
tentiO;i. To this end the rescolrce belonging to
wellcst atished prosperity will be lberaiiy elil-
plpyed.
The present dj&ointed condition of parties in
this country, and the uncertainty OF the furture,
lend an extr&ortIlnary significance to the events
OF the comiIgEear, TO discussion Of the press,
the debates and acts OF Congress, and the move
