St. Landry democrat., 1879-03-08
MISCELLANEOUS.


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 a 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 has
won for this newspaper the confidence and
friendship OF 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 1t
seeks to do equal Justice to all interests Ill COM
munity. 1t is not the organ OF any person, clase,
sect or party. There need be no lnysery about
its loves and hates. 1t is for the honest man
against the rOSueS every time tits for the honest
Democrat as against the dishonest Republican,
and for the honest Republican as against the
dishonest Democrat. 1t does not take Its cue
from the utterances of any politician or politi-
cal organization. 1t gives its support linresery-
eddy 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-
stitution principles are vlOlated-as i'll the out
rageous conspiracy of 1873, by which man not
elected was placed in the Presidents office
where he still remainS-t 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.
The Sun has fairly earned the hearty hatred
of rascals, frauds, anG 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 by. The Sun will continue to shin on the
wicked with unmitigated 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 magazine
women of to-day, whose concern is chiefly with
the affairs of to-day. 1t has both the DISPOSE
ton and the ability to affords its readers the
promptest, fullest, and most accurate inteli-
W n II w world worth
tentiOn. To this end the resource belonging to
well established prosperity will be literally en-
ployed.
The present disionted condition of parties in
this country, and the uncertainty OF the furture,
lend an extraordinary significance to the events
