St. Landry democrat., 1879-03-29
The Sasas for 1879.

Ine 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
thought the heavens fall.
The Sun has been, is, and will continue to be
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 and
friendship of q wider constituency thar was
ever enjoyed by any American Journal,
The Sun is the newspaper for the people. II
Is not for The rich man against the Door man, or
Tor the poor man against the rich man. but it
mlnlty. it is not the organ Of any person, clase,
sect or party. There need be no mysery about
its loves and hates. 1t is for the honest man
against the rogues every time. Its 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
cal organization. 1t gives it's support unresery-
eddy when men or measures. are in agreement
with the COnstltutlpn. and with the principles
upon wvhhjeh ttis REPUBLIC was founded for the
people. Whenever the Constitution and con-
stltution Primaries are violated-as in the out
rageons conspiracy of 1878, by which . man not
elected was placed in the Presidents Office,
right. That is Tie Suns idea Of Independence,
In this respect there will be no change III Its
programme for 1879.
The Sun has fairly earned the hearty hatred

size. 1t hopes to deserve that hatred not less
in the year 1879, than in 1878, Is77, or any year
gone by. The spn:WifI continue to shin on the
wicked with unmitigatcd 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. It is printed for the men
women of to-day, whose concern is chiefly with
the affairs of to-day. 1t has both the dispasir
ton and the ability to affords its readers the
promptest, fullest, and most accurate inteli-

plOyed. +,
The present disiointed condition of parties in
this county, and the uncertainty OF the %rurture,
lend an extraordinary significance to the events
of the coming year. To discussion of the preas,
the debates and acts of Congress-, and the move
ments of the leaders IN every section of the Re-
nuhlic will have a direct bearing on the Presi-
Dental election of 18S0-an event which must
be regarded with the most anxious interest by
every patriotic American, whatever his political
ideas or allegiance. The these elements of i'll
terest may be added the probability that the
Democrats will control both houses of Congress,
the increasing feehleness of the fraudulent Adj
minstratiOn, and the spread and strengthening
everywhere of a healthy adherence OF frand
in any form. To present with accuracy and
varying phases, and to expound, according to
lts Well-knOwn methods, the principles that
should guide us through the labyrinth; will be
an important part of The Suns work for 1879.
We have the means of making The Sun, as a
political, % literary and a general newspaper,
more entertaining and more useful than ever
before; and we mean to apply them freely.
