Frank, Fearless and Untrammeled
THE NEWSPAPER OF INDIANA

AT the beginning of the new year the |
gree OF honest pride" over the work which |
ii has done during the past twelve months,
and with a full confidence for the future,
growing out of a consciousness of the same
upright intentions which have heretofore
guided it. During the stormy events in So
ciety and politics which have made the
Inst year memorable, it pursued bold,
fearless, and answering course. 1t has
been true to its principles under great va
riety of temptations to trucl1le and faiter.
Yet it has not been visionary or impracti-
cable on any occasion, but has always cho-
sen what 1t considered the best side in any
contest, municipal, state or national. and
has struck into the fight heartily but fairly.
1t still maintains, ds heretofore, the Opin-
ion that the affairs of the national govern
ment have been grossly mismanaged in al
most every department, from the smallest
detail in the corporate concerns OF the city
OF Washington to the brOadest interests in
vOlved in the reconstruction ofthe Southern
states, and 1t claims place among the
people against the dishonesty and demor-
alization which have made our political
system rotten to the core. In the struggle
for the overthrow of the present admins
tratiOn, the destruction of which is the
great political necessity of the day, it has
taken no small share, and it will be found
a steadfast champion in carrying on the
revolution which has begun.
FOR THE NEXT YEAR
the Sentinel reaffirms it's attitude in the
past year-the slavish organ of no party or
creed-the temperate advocate only OF the
most generous measures in Church and
State. 1t will continue to publish all the
! news at the earliest moment. 1t will reflect
the sentiments of the people. 1t will sup
port only honest men for office, and de-
1nand pledge of character rather than of
pai ty. 1t will uphold Zealously the hands
ct all men honest and earnest in reform,
and 1t will strive to give all sides hearing
on the cha changing topics that fiji L. the public
dustrial questions, now moving the public
| mind, the Sentinel will maintain q hearty,
earnest cooperation with all struggling
men seeking to better themselves mentally,
| physically. and every way. To the opposi-
| ton to monOpOlies it will continue an hon
est support. While futhering all interests
in this direction, wisdom must be called in
| to keep the crusade against public abuse,
monopolies, and the like, from degenera-
ting into demagoguely. In all emergencies
/ of this nature, the Sentinel will attempt
| full and impartial justice
| TO ALL WHO TRUST IT.
| A year ago the Sentinel promised earnest
| unrelaXing efforts in the production and
presentation of q wholesome, refined and
| trustworthy news medium. In the succe IS
| of that effort 1t has the cordial endorse
| ment of a vast number of contemporary
journals, and the written assurance of a
| great constituency of ministers, teachers,
| lawyers and families. The measure OF the
| Sentinel's success is, however, best shown
| by the position which it has taken within
the year, as the first newspaper OF the State,
and a leading newspaper of the West. To
this fact nearly every journal of intelli-
gence and discrimination in the State has
list of new readers who have joined its
| ranks of friends. Concerning its general
| features as newspaper it may be said,
| that the Sentinel will hold its rank as the
| foremost in the State, by a continuance of
the same policy of liberal expenditures
| whenever events of moment occupy the
| public mind. The features for which this
paper has become popular and distinguish
| ed during the last year, will be carried out
still more fully, If possible, the coming
year, and every department made of vital
| abiding interest and usefulness
| TO THE HOME CIRCLE,
the minister, the lawyer, the educator. The
Sentinel is not only the completest news
| paper in its presentation of news and its
comments thereon, but it is visitor every
day in the year--for the 365 days--omittine
| no publication on any pretext. 1t is, in this
| respect, one of the most valuable news me.
| diums in the state. In short, the Sentinel
means to keep ahead of the brilliant pro-
| gress of the state. 1t means to give voice tC
the most liberal, enlightened and pures'
| sentiment of the time, and in this respect
claims a distinctly special mission. 1t de-
pendson it's character as an independent
| and fearless news medium for growth and
support, and makes no preteXt of cheaI
| premiums to secure reluctant supporters.
ITS MARKET REPORTS,
| regular, special and compiled--are the full
est, most diversified and complete present
: ed in any journal ofsimilar resources in the
country. Its law, educational and industri
> al reports, which have attracted general at
, tention in the past, shall be continued will
equal care and accuracy in the future, ant
no cost spared in perfecting such details Al
, will render them in every way the feature
Of Indiana Journalism. IN special way
the Sentinel is better able to present a com
plete newspaper than any of its rivals il
the West, and is determined to give al
sides of current cOntrov ersieS, irrespective
of prejudices of men or parties. As ref1e.
of the growth of indianapolis, the Sentine
, takes marked precedence of all rivals. II
city columns are fuller in detail and NOR
accurate in preparation than any simila
, | department in the West, and the fact is al
. tested by the Sentinel's universal circnla
I. ton in the city. The Sunday Sentine
reaches a greater constituency than an
daily in the state, and increases at an un
| exampled rate from week to week, nc
Onlysn the city, but throughout all parts {
the state accessible by Sunday trains.
