r.p Il the PRES throughout the state. fcr the
kindly noticos they have given tho HERup.
an we will endcavor to prove 10 them thst
we are not undeserving q their kind consider
atom arr regard 1t wilt BE our utmost en-
slcavor % make the HERALD a firsi-class news
naper, and while we iuculcate Democratic
doctrines, We viii bear In mind that there are
other departments besides political. tina; re-
ouire a. much watchful care and attention.
As wo have promised in our prospectus that
nothing will b. len undone that viii tend 70
make the HERALD a newspaper, In the broad
accsptance Of the term. we leave @ our patrons
aud the general reader, 10 judge by the future
whether We do not comply with all the pro-
misses we have made, and justify the anticipa-
lions Of cur friends.
In this connection we cannot forcgo trans
ferring 10 our columns several from among the
many notices we have received. and we trust
we will not be charged with egotism in follow
ing an old, time-honored custom in this respect:
TUE STATE sTNTINrL.-The announcement
made a few weeks since that the state Sem
finel was 10 be sold out and converted into a
Republican journal proves not 20 have been
strictly correct. The establishment has been
since sold to other parties who. we are happy
To saw instead Of making IL Republican paper
will continue il as a Democratic one. The
name has been changed 10 that Of the Indiana
poljs Herald and the editorial Department
given in charge Of the Hon. Judge Perkins,
late Supreme Judge Of the State. and hence
well known 10 all our citizens This is n
change which has long been needed. and which
can but be for the better. The former managers
have received just criticisms at our hands here
tafore for their negligence want of enterprise
apA - tt
could but make the paper unpopular. and
nonentity so far as il claimed TO be the party
organ of the State We trust its present able
editor will never be liable 10 similar charges.
There Is a wide field of usefulness for such
journal as the Herald, and we can see no
reason why il should not be a success There
are plenty Of Democrats in the State 10 sus-
tain IL, and we trust they will do So Though
Ne W the hands of its former owners and
editor we never advised our readers 10 sup
port it, we feel justified now in recommending
il their very favorable consideration. We
have the most implicit confidence in the De-
mocracy and ability of Judge Perkins, and are
satisfied that all parts of the State will receive
an equal share of his attention. Improvements
already manifest in the journal viii, we trust
continue to be made as pecuniary encourage
ment reach them. For the benefit of those
who feel inclined to give the Herald trial.
We give the following table Of it, terms:

and has many qualities which 90 TO make up a
good editor Of morning daily paper. Pecu-
niarily, we wish him success for he has been
hard laborer in a field which other men have
reapt.
MIR. Hutchinson, of the new firm which has
assumed control Of the Sentinel l. Charley
Hutchinson, formerly of this city, and for a
time Of this Office. He IL one Of the best print
ers in the State. He will see TO it, no doubt
that the Sentinel is not excelled in its type
graphical appearance by any paper in the
country. The new editor, Judge Perkins, as
sumes the tripod like an old hand. He was at
one time, we believe, an editor. lie will find
his present seat not so easy as the Judicial
bench, and will abandon il probably with
more observation-disclosures Journal.
BY the recent change of the proprietors OF
the Indianapolis Sentinel, we see that Judge
Samuel L. Perkins has taken the position OF
editor of the new paper, now called the lndi-
annapolis Herald.
At the age OF twenty five or six, Judge Per-
kins took his carpet-sack in hand left law
office in New York, where he had been study
ing; taking up his line Of march for the West,
walking all the way. He arrived at Richmond.
Indiana. in 1886, coming by way Of Cleveland
and Columbus, Ohio. When he arrived in
Richmond he had scarcely cent in his pocket,
and not an acquaintance in the State. With
out books, without friends and almost
without clothes, he opened a law Office in a
little house that would hardly be used at thi,
day for cooper shop. In this he remained
about a month, when he got his first case.
In this case he stated the law ut great length
from one or two old books that he had got
hold of. He succeeded IN beating his opponent
badly, and it was not long until he had n good
practice. Being an uncompromising Demo-
crat, he never received any public honors from
Wayne county. He continued TO practice law
until 1916, when he was appointed TO the Su-
preme Bench by Governor Whitcomb. He
held this position by appointment until 1882.
when he was elected by the people. The laws
Of Indiana contained i'm the Indiana Reports,

have no hesitancy in saying that the Herald
will be the most able and thorough-going
Democratic paper in the West.-Sdlem Demo

A DIsGCsTED DoG.-A curious railroad &C.
cident occurred at Clinton, Conn.,, few days
ago. An express train was approaching, when
a cow, annoyed by small dog, dashed on to
the rails. When the train had passed, the COW
Law with her head cut off and the little dog,
with his tail cut off, sat between the rails look
ing at the retiring cars with face indicative
of the most intense establishment and disgust.
The Scientific American mentions new
design for small coins, which consists In max
ing them in the form Of the numeral of the de-
nomination they represent, as /, 2, 3, a, D. BY
this device all confusion in the use OF the COINS
even in the darkest night, will be avoided; but
it is a question whether they would not soon
punch holes in the pockets.
WE publish in another column the prospec-
tus Of the Indianapolis Daily and Weekly
Herald Ii will be remembered that the SEN
tiael was sold out, short time since, when II
was announced by the Journal that the Demo
crazy of Indiana would have no central organ
but we are pleased 10 inform our readers that
the Sentinel comes out under new name,
dress, editor and proprietors. The simple an
nouncement that the Hon. Samuel l.. Perkins
will WELD the pen editorial, will be sufficient
TO materially increase the subscription list OF
the Herald. We ask our Democratic friends
TO sustain the proprietors in their new enter
prise, by subscribing literally, and we assure
them they will receive live paper.-Decdtus

THE INDIANAPOLIS HERALD.-Messrs. Hall

that Hon. 5. Z. Perkins, veteran Democrat
Snown throughout the State for his integrity
and devotion to the principles of our party
