THU INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL
NEW ANNOUNCEMENT

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL is rec
ognized everywhere as the leading newspaper
of Indiana. No proper expense is spared to
maintain this undisputed excellence and to
increase the value and interest of the paper.
THE JOURNAL was never so we'll equipped
to serve the public. Our arrange nents for
the collection of the news of the day are more
complete than ever, and we have ided some
special features which must enhance the pop
ularity of the paper.
THE JOURNAL is the only paper in In
diana that prints regularly the full reports Of
the Western Associated Press, which are now
more comprehensive than ever, covering the
whole world. These dispatches are supple
mented by the work of special correspondents
at all the principal cities and towns of the
State and of the country at large We have
a special resident representative at Washing
ton City, who looks after the news of the ma
tional capital with vigilance, paying particular
attention to that which most nearly concerns
THE JOURNALS constituency. The full
est and most reliable intelligence from Wash
ington will be presented in our news columns,
free from party bias, impartially, and without
restraint.
Editorially THE JOURNAL is Republic
an paper, believing in the principles and
general policy of the Republican party; but it
recognizes that the day of blind party organ
ship has passed, and it proposes to be perfectly
free to criticise and condemn, but in spirit
and with purpose for good, having proper
regard for personal rights and regulations.
The citizen, whatever his political faith, can
be assured of seeing in the columns of THE
JOURNAL the fullest and fairest presentation
of the news, and in its editorial columns such
comment and structures as will command his
respect if they do not meet his approval. 1t
may also be said that THE JOURNAL it
published as FAMILY NEWSPAPER. Is
recognizes that the women and the children
are to be instructed and entertained. They
will always find in its columns matter special
ly prepared for them, while the paper will be-
so conducted as to prove welcome visitor in
the household. TIE news will be presented
in such shape as to minimize the evil, and it's
editorial and local columns will be kept free
from moral faint.
The Railroad News of THE JOURNAL is
admittedly the freshest, fullest and most ac-
curate printed by any newspaper in the
country.
