The Lafayette advertiser. [volume] (Vermilionville [i.e. Lafayette], La.) 1865-19??, 1879-01-04
THE sun FOR 1879.

The SrS will he printed every day during ID,
year to come. Its purposes and method viii bt
the same as in the past To present all the new,
IN readable shape. and to tell the truth though
the heavens fall. 'e-
The Sun has been, ia. and will continue to be
independent OF everybody and everything save
.he lrntn and ts own conviction of duty. That
ls the only policy which an honest newapaper
need have. That is the policy which has won
for the newspaper the confidence and friendship
OF wider constituency than was ever enioye1
by any other American Journal.
The Sun is the newspaper for the people. II

about its loves and hates. 1t is for the honest

man not elected was placed in the Presidents
office. where be still remains-it speaks out for
the right. That is THE SrN's idea Of independ-
ence. In this respect there will be no change in
its programme for 1879.
The Sun has fairly earned the hearty hatred
Of the raecals. frauds, and humbugs Of Ill sorts
and sizes. 1t hopes hopes to deserve that ba-
tired not less in the year 1879. than 10 1878,
1871, or any year gone by. The Sun will con-
tinue to shine on the wicked with unmitisateil
brightness.
While the lessons of the past should be con-
stantly kept before the people. TUE SuN does not
propose to make itself in 1879 magazine OF
ancient history. It is printed chiefly with the
affairs OF to-day. It has both the disposition and
the ability to afford ite readers the promptest,
fullest and most accurate intelligence Of What,
ever IN the wide world il worth attention. To
this end the resources belonging to well-estab-
llshed prosperity will be literally employed.
The present diejolnted condition of the parties
10 this country, and the uncertainty of the flu
ture. lend an extraordinary significance to the
events OF the coming year. The discussions of
the press, the debates and acts Of Congress, and
the movements of the leaders in every section Of
the Republic will have direct bearing Oh the
Presidential election of l88O-an event which
must be regarded with the most anxious interest
ny every patriotic American, whatever bis pOlit-
ical ideas or allegiance. To these elements of
interest may he added the probability that the
Democrats will control both houses Of Congress,
the increasing fcebleness Of the fraudulent Ad-
ptnittration, and the spread strengthening every
where of healthy adherence Of fraud in any
form. To present with accuracy and clearnees
the exact situation in each Of its varying phases,
and to expound. according to its weil-known
method, the principles that should guide us
through the labyrinth. will be an important part
Of THE SCS's work for 1879.
