Frank. Fearless and UnframmeIed
THE NEWSPAPER OF INDIANA

At the beginning of the new year the
sentinel greets Is patrons with ''some de-
gree OF honest pride" over the work which
IL has done during the past twelve months,
and with Il 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
last year memorable, it pursued bold,
fearless and answering course. 1t has
been true to its principles under a great va
riety of temptations to truckle and falter.
y ct it has not been visionary or 1mpracti-
cable on any occasion, but has always cho-
sen what it considered the best side in any
contest, municipal. state or national, and
has struck into the hight heartily but fairly.
1t still maintains, as heretofore, the opin-
ion TIL at the affairs of the national govern

detail in the corporate concerns OF the city
of Washington to the broadest interests in

states, and III claims q place among the
people against the dishonesty and demon
alization which have made our political
system rotten to the core. In the struggle
tor the overt brow of the present admins
great political necessity OF the day, il has
taken no small share, and ii Will be found
a steadfast champion in carrying on the
revolution which has begun.
FOR THE NEXT YEAR
the Sentinel Ieaffirns its attitude in the
past year-the >iaVish organ of no party or
creed-the temperate advocate onIy OF the
most generous measures in Church and

the sentiments of the people. II will sup

A year ago the sentinel promised earnest
uurelaxing efforts in the production and
presentation of a wholesome. refined and
trustworthy news medium. In the success
of that effort ii has the cordial endorse
ment of q vast number of contemporary
journals, and the written assurance OF u

Sentinel'S success is, however, best shown
by The position which IL 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
borne testimony as We'll as the swelling
