Our editorial leaders and paragraphs are
calm, dispassonatc, Impartial discussions of
tho live issues of tho hour. In other w.rds,
the HERALD aims to be newspaper in the
strictost, broadest sense of the word. 1t
Is not partisan and no personal abuse nor
private matters exposed doIllo ts columns,
and it is not laboring in tho interest of any
organization of any sort, or political party,
although it is Democratic in its proclivlties,
because it believes that Democratic princi-
pies alone aro in harmony with tho genius of
our Government and that tho furtherance
of broad-based, liberal and progressive
Democratic principles, when properly uu-
dcBtood asd fairly and honestly practicod,
will best subserve the material and political
interests of and insure lasting prosperity
and happiness to the country. There has
been within the past few years n great rcvo

some political party with all other interests
made subservient thereto. But such is moi
tho case now Party organs still exist ant
serve their purpose, and it is right that suct
should be the case, but tho great mass of The
people demand something else now besides
partisan publications. Enlightenment is more
generally ditlused throughout tho country at
present than it was quarter ora half cen

think more for themselvesand this has begot.

editorial discussions. Approaching THU
fact and comprehending tho wants of tn
day the HERALD is striving to supply them
The best test of tho success of our efforts
similar to that afforded by other Journal
thus conducted, is the growing demand fol
