The Journnl is an independent republican
newspaper. II beliyes first III tba policy of be-
ing Right. II believes in the policy of being
Independently right. Blind partisan following
is not TO commended. 1t is healthfui To SEQ
Good where good is and to see Wrong where
wrong is, and to commend the one and oI.dem
the other under all circumstances. That which
most needs to be cultivated in our national life
us in community and personal life, is Morals. II
we can secure disposition to deal fairly and
honorably, We need never g~reately fear the result
of passing mistakes or unsound Judgment. The
purpose to peTpetuate a mischief is that most to
be npprehended and that most to be guarded
against. This distinction The Journal in all its
discussions Of public questions seeks always to
keep in view. Upon this platform the paper
hopes always to retain the respect of its readers.
even where wide differences of opinion upon
public Issues intervene.
the primary purpose Of The Journal, however
is to tell the news, TO tell the news full, without
bias and without prejudice. This is believed to
be the legitimate field of tho newspaper: and to
fill this field to the extent possible is believed to
comprise the scope of the unwritten contract of
the publisher with his subscriber. The reader

forsees the strength it desires to grow into for
itself.
1t is proposed to make The Journal in the flu
ture u better newspaper than ever before. To
this end no possible labor OF possible expense
Will be spared. The telepraphic service of the
paper is more complete now than at any previous
time, and the cost of producing the paper was
never so great as it is at the present time. 1t is
expected that the ratio of increase will be cxten.
