St. Landry democrat., 1879-06-14
The Sara for 1879.

Tie sun will he printed every day during the
year to come. Its purpose and method VIII nc
the same as i'll 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 GutF.
That Is the only policy which an honest ncW-
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 te poor man. or
for the poor against the rich man. but 1t
seeks to do equal Justice to all interests III com
mlmty. It is not the organ OF any person, ciasc,
sect or party. There need he no mySery about
its l0ves and hates Il is for the honest man
against the rOgues every time Il is for the honest
Democrat rs against the dishonest Republican,
;tnd for the honest Republican as against the
dishonest Democrat. It does not take its cue
from the uttrrances OF any politician or polltl-
cal organization. 1t gives its support unreserV-
etlly when men or measures are in agreement
with the Constitution and with the prnclples
upon which this Republic was founded for the
people. Whenever the Constitution and con-
stittition principles are volatcti-as III the out
elected was placed in the Presidents Office,
where he still rcnlains-it speaks ont 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 rtscalS frauds. and humhuGs, of all sorts and
i'll the year 1879, than i'll 1873, 1877, orany Fear
gone by. The Sun will continue to shin OF the
wicked with unmitgated 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 nla&aZine
OF ancient history. 1t is printed for the men
women of to1ay whose concern tI is en- gci1y With
