be directed toward the strengthening OF that de-
sign. In its opposition to political railroad and
hna7cial monopolies, the Sentinel viii continue
an honest support. While furthering all inter-
ests in this direction wisdom must be called In
/ to keep the crusade against public abuse monop

Concerning its general features as a newspaper
the Sentinel will hold its rank as the foremost
in the State, by continuance of the same policy
of liberal expenditures whenever events of mo-
rnent occupy the public mind. The features FOR
which this paper has become popular and dis
tinguished during the last year. will be carried
out still more fully, If possible, the coming year,

In short, the Sentinel means to keep ahead of
the brilliant progress OF the State. 1t means to
give voice to the most liberal, enlightened and
