THE MODEL NEWSPAPER.
The Inter-ocean for 1883.

L
To give all the news without indulging in Of
fensive sensationalism; to be courageous and
| aggressive In the advocacy of well-established
principle, without being narrow minded or un-
fair, to cater to the tastes Of all classes Of in
telligent readers, without pandering to the
prejudices OF any; to present in most attractive
form the greatest variety Of matter, without cur
failing or lowering the standard Of any depart
ment; to grow In interest and excellence with
each succeeding year Of Its existence, is to be
the model newspaper.
From the first It has been the aim of the pub
| fishers Of The Inter Ocean to have the paper
reach this high standard, and in each of the
| ten years of Its existence notable step for
ward has been taken. Q As every change has
lie in the shape Of increased patronage, 1t is fair
to assume that the efforts of the publishers have
been In the right direction, and have been APP
preciated. 'H,
The Inter Ocean will remain uncompromis-
ingly Republican, will maintain its present at
| titude Of protecting American industries; will
continue to devote special attention to trade,
| transportation, and economic questions; will
retain the departments Of the Curiosity Shop Ga
current encyclopedia Of curious, interesting and
valuable information, called out by inquiries
OF subscriber); The WOman's Kingdom (de-
voted to the progressive movements in which
women are interested); The Farm and Home
their wives and their children) The Veterinary
| Containing answers TO questions as to the
| treatment of horses, cattle, and other animals
by one Of the best veterinary surgeons In the
Vest; and Complications (taking in puzzles,
enigmas, cOnundrums, etc. all OF which are
peculiar to the paper; will give as much space
as hitherto to serial and short stories, original
and selected sketches, and poems, and with in
creased facilities for news gathering in the
shape of special wires to New York and Wash
ington, and experienced correspondents well
placed at home and abroad, will more than
maintain its high standard for enterprise and
accuracy in all departments ofnews.
The Inter Ocean, always closely identified
with the interests of the West, has led in the
work of development Of both the Northwest and
Southwest and II will continue to make prOmi-
nent the characteristic features of the progress
of the newer communities toward statehood.
No paper in the country has given SO much at
tentiOn to immigration movements, railway and
canal enterprises, race and economic problems,
and other topics relating to the prosperity OF
the older states and the development OF the
newer sections as The Inter Ocean.
|, The aim has been to make 1t the best paper
for city, suburban, or country reader; the best
paper for the business man and his family; the
best paper for the strong partisan as well as the
general reader; and as the circulation of the sew
eral editions has increased more rapidly the
past year than In any previous year, and as 1t Is
now larger than that Of any other paper west Of
New York City, the publishers, feeling that
they have fair measure of popular approval,
will continue In the course marked out, making
such improvements as will keep The Inter
Ocean at the head Of the. list Of American
Journals as the model newspaper.
The circulation Is best shown by the amount
OF postage paid on the papers sent to actual

Ocean Is far ahead OF all Gifts Chicago contem-
