disaster, inc nrsl inteiiigcnee Oh inc loss Oh
'as lo,aI,s, une oes' A..ouut ,na' was pr'n'ca
mcnts, the financial panic OF few weeks ago,
upon which special occasion VIC printed more
news, column for column, than even the New
York Herald.
In all this there Is one point which VIC
know has not escaped the attention Of our
readers, and upon which we desire to dwell
only for a single moment. An eminent
writer has said that as "a bad newspaper Is
the worst enemy OF society and civilization
at the present time, SO well-conducted Jour
nal Is their best friend" This, In few words,
is the policy of the REPUBLICAN. While VIC
print all tho news we endeavor 10 print 1t so
that 1t will not carry with it the seeds
OF destruction and decentralization.
Our aim Is to make q newspaper
that shall be an engine for good
and not for evil; a paper which any man
may take into his family without the least
fear that single line in 1t Is calculated to
debase or corrupt. The style Of journalism
that prompts the publication Of whole pages
Of the details OF vice and crime--that clabo-
rates upon every incident Of the weak and
wicked side Of human nature, Is not our
style, and We wish 1t distinctly understood
that we shall not touch il.
