TIE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL.
A CLEAN AND HoNoRABLE pApER


Bloomington Republican Progress
The indianapolis Journal has improved stead
lily, in the past five years. till it has reached
point of excellence beyond which it can not go
without involving an expense that might work
financial ruin At present there is nothing more
to be desired in this reliable paper. One Of the
most popular newspapers printed in the West
was the Cincinnati GaZette-its old patrons
never deserted it, but chung to the paper till the
last, or till it was consolidated with the CONNER
cial, and the Gazette features had disappeared
then its patrons no longer cared for it, The
Gazette was never sensational-it told truths in
plain modest way that pleased honest peo-
pie. In this particular the Journal comes
as near filing the niche vacated by
the Gazette as is possible, and many of the old
patrons of the Gazette transferred their affec-
tions to the Journal. So far their confidence
has not been abused, and we feel safe in prouis-
ing that it will not beat least under the pres
emit management The dislike of sensationalism
is marked and emphatic upon the part Of the Jour
nails managers, and they are right, for the most
heartless malicious. and cold blooded reptile that
has been developed by latter day journalism, is
the sensational writer-a creature that has
consuming desire for sensations and makes the
most out of the least. Such papers have neither
reverence nor respect for human kind and hav-
ing no other object in life than the sale of the
newspaper, will pounce upon young or
old-the gray haired man, the wife,
the trusting maden-{it matters not

weaknesses that affect only their families or i'm

no others. These ghouls place their glaring
headlines upon their bulletin boards for the
qualification of brutal appettes, and in order
