upright intentions which have heretofore

has struck into the fight heartily but fairly.

FOR THE NEXT YEAR
the Sentinel reaffirms its attitude in the
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-
mand a pledge of character rather than OF

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

TO ALL WHO TRUST 1T.
A year ago the Sentinel promised earnest
unrelaxing efforts in the production and
presentation of a wholesome, refined and
trustworthy news medium. In the success
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
Sentinels success is, however, best shown
by the position which it has taken within
the year, as the first newspaper of the State,
and leading newspaper of the West. To
this fact nearly every journal of intelli-
gence and discrimination in the State has
borne testimony. as well as the swelling
list of new readers who have joined its
ranks of friends. Concerning it's general
features as newspaper spa it may be said,
foremost In the State, by q 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
