St. Landry democrat., 1879-04-05
The Sara for 1870.

The Sun will be printed every day during thu
year to come. Its purpose and method will bt
the same rs in the past: To present all thu
| news in readable shape, and to tell the truth
| thought the heavens fall.
The Sun has been. is and will continue to bt
| independent OF everybody and everything SAVE
That Is the only policy which an honest new
paper need have. That is the policy which has
won for this newspaper the confidence al,
friendship of q 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, OF
for the poor man against the rich man. but ii
seeks to do equal justice to all interests in com
mllnity. 1t is not the organ of any person, case,
| sect Or party. There need be no myscry about
| its loves and hates. 1t is for the honest man
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 unrescrv
| cdy when men or measures are in agreement
with the Constitution l It and with tho principles
people. Whenever the Constitution and con-
| stitution principles are yiolated-as i'll the out
rageous conspiracy of 1878, by which man not
| elected placed i'll the Presidents Office,
| where he still relnains-it speaks out for the
right. That is The Suns idea of independence
In this respect there will he no change i'll its
programme for 1879
The Sun has fairly earned the hearty hatred
of rascals, frauds, and 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 unmitgated brightness.
While the lessons OF the past should be CON

Of ANCIENT history. 1t is printed for the men

be regarded with the most anxious interest by
every patriotic American, whatever his political
ideas or allegiance. The these elements Of i'll
