St. Landry democrat., 1879-08-09

The sun will be printed every day during The
year to come. Its purpose and method will! h,
the same rs in the past: To present all the
news in a readable shape, and to tell the trutl
thought the heavens fall
The sun has been, is, and will continue TO ht
ln'tenchNcnt OF everybody and thing sAVt
the the Truth and its own ceonTictions 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 anC
friendship OF a wider constituency than was
ever enjoyed by any American Journal.
The Sun is the newspaper for the people II
IS not for the rich man against the poor man. ol
for the poor man against the rich man. but ii
seeks to do equal justice to all interests in com
inlnlty. 1t IS NOT the organ of amy person, case
sect or party. There need he no myScry about
its loves and hates 1t is for the honest man
against the roGues every time Its for he honest
Democrat rs against the dishonest Republican
and for the honest Republican as against the
dishonest Democrat. 1t does not take its cilt
from the nttcranccs OF any politician or poiti-
cal organization. 1t gives its support nnreserv-
ediT When men or measures are i'll agreement
with the Constitution and with the prinslplcs
upon which this Republic was founded for the
people. Whenever the Constitution and con.
stitittion principles are vioated-as in the out.
raGeOus conspiracy of 1873, by which a man not
elected was placed in the Presidents Office
where ne still rcinains-it 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
vi ItScitS littttiS ana nunnuES, or 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 unmtigated 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 magazine
OF ancient history. 1t is printed for the men
women of to-day, whose concern is chiefly with
the affairs of to-day. It has both the DISPOSE
ton and the ability to affords its readers the
promptest; fullest end most accurate intei-
gencP Of W.!a yer in the vide world is worth at
tontlon. 20 this end the Resource belonging to
well established prosperity will be literally en-
plOyed.
The present disiointed condition of parties i'll

lend All extraordinary Significance to the events
OF the comingyear. To discussion of the ureas,
the debates and acts Ct Congress, al.d tho move
ln;iits uf the leaders in every section OF the Re-
public will have a direct bearing on the Prcs-
Dental election of 198O-an event which must
be regarded with the most anxious interest bv
every patriotic American, whatever his political
IDEAS or allegiance. The these elements OF in

ciearness the exact situation an each of its
varying phases, and to expound, according to
Its Well-knoWn methods, the principles that
should guide lis through the labyrinth, will be
an important part Of The Suns work for 1875.
