which will be hate enough tsl clock r. NJ, to
admit Of q fair statement and review Of the day
transactions and OF the state of the markets AZ
their close-thus anticipating the commercial
news published by the morning papers OF the
following day.
Published in the afternoon, after the DAYS
work is mainly over, and when business men find
their only leisure TO read pains will be spared
| to make the Evening Bulletin interesting and
useful as a family newspaper, and to build up
for IL . permanent circulation. Particular at
tcn'ion will be paid with this view TO the litera-
~ and critical departments of the paper, and
also 10 the character and variety Of its selected
| and miscellaneous reading matter. Book noti-
ces aud book reviews art notices and crstiques

In the treatment of all subjects, as well as in
| the publication of news, constant regard will be
had TO the true functions and dignity Of journal
ism and the proper limits Of newspaper comment
| and inquiry. The line between matters which
| arefit for publication and those which are not
between what the public has right to know
\ and what il ought not to lie matter of public
| discussion-will be carefully observed. In this
respect the Evening Bulletin will aim 10 CRAFTY
the taste and merit the appreciation Of the best
portion OF society, and not OF the lowest and
I worst elements in it.
Politically, the Evening Bulletin, without sur
! rendering its independence and absolute freedom
of criticism and dissent, will endeavor faithfully
10 interpret the conservative spirit and sentiments
| Of the people Of Maryland, with which il is cor
| daily in sympathy. II will advocate all useful
and necessary reforms either in legislation or in
the methods Of admiration and will give its sup
port only to such men and measures are best
| fitted to secure those reforne. In municipal AZ
fairs the Bulletin will favor entire divorce be-
| tween municipal administration and party poll
ties and will advocate the selection ofihe best men,
| in point Of personal fitness and qualifications
| or positions of municipal trust. In the advoca
cy OF all these views, and in the discussion OF all
questions. the Bulletin will endeavor TO observe
a tone Of moderation and courtesy BETTING the
| character OF an independent journal, and equally
| removed from the heat aud violence of partisan
! ship on the one hand. and from excessive timidi-
| " or lukewarm neutrality on the othe!. BY n
| sedulous endeavor To live up to these standards
and to observe these rules Of editorial conduct,
the pruprietors Of the Evening Bulletin hope 10
make their paper not only worthy of the good
will which, in advance Of its publication, has
been so freely manifested to their enterprise. and
which already finds practical expression in their
ADVERTISING columns, but of that far more ex-
tended patronage and support to which they
trust in time TO attain.
