THE MODEL NEWSPAPER.
The Inter-ooean for 1883.

| Togive 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
pre1udices OF any; to present In most attractive
| form the greatest variety of NATTER 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 i'm each OF { he
ten years of its existence notable step for
ward has been taken. As every change has
met with encouraging response from the pub
lie in the shape OF increased patronage is fair
to assume that the efforts Of the publishers have
been In the right direction, and have been ap-
preciated.
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
Covering topics OF special interest to farmers,
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 i'm the
West); 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

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
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 It is
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
subscribers. Judged by this standard, The Inter
Ocean is far ahead Of all of its Chicago contem-
poraries, as Is shown by the table below. This
