The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1893-01-26
THE
INDIANAPOLIS
JOURNAL
DAILY,
SUNDAY
WEEKLY

Since the Journal reduced in price
from 25 to Is cents week. it has greatly
extended its circulation, reaching a
large number of people hitherto unable
to afford the luxury of first-class daily
paper. Reports from agents and sub.
scribers indicate the result which was
to be expected, namely, that what was
first regarded as luxury has become
necessity. and that the new readers
not only remain, but their list is con-
stantly increasing.
1t is the purpose Of the Journal ia
make itself even mere indispensable to
its patrons, new and old, and to still
further widen its field. To this end il
will not only endeavor to maintain the
characteristics which have established
its reputation as by far the best news
paper in Indiana. but will add such new
features and improvements from time
to time as are in accord with journalistic
progress and that may tend to the adj
vantage of its readers. 1t will, for exc
ample, give increased attention to State
and local interests. What Indianians
want is paper in which Indiana affairs
are given especial prominence and i'm
pOrtance. This want the journal has
always supplied as no other paper pub
lished outside or inside the State is able
to do; but the rapidly developing indus
tries and business and social enterprises
of the community call for additional
consideration and space, With this in
view it's corps of correspondents has
been increased until has a representa-
tive in nearly every town in the State.
Special travelling correspondents will
visit the news centers of the State al
frequent intervals, thus insuring the
'write up" of every important event
or matter Of general interest.
Being published in the geographical
center Of Indiana the Journal is afforded
unusual facilities for securing news
promptly, and, what is of greater con-
sequence, is able to reach its subscribers
without delay. The running of morn
ing trains from Indianapolis is very
favorable to the early distribution OF
papers sent by mail or express, and in
most towns within radius of hum
dred miles Journals are delivered as
early as in the city where they are
printed. In the more remote counties
there is but little loss of time in trans
| portation.
The Journal is the paper for Indi-
anians and particularly for Indiana
Republicans. Although the campaign
| 10 ended, the coming session of Congress
and subsequent change of adnfinistra-
ton involve political problems and pro-
ceedipgs likely to be of the most direct
personal concern to every farmer and
business man in the State. All such
matters will be set forth in detail, the
Journals Washington correspondent be-
ing instructed to give especial attention
to rything having possible bearing
on Indiana interests.
But though the Journal is Republican
in politics it is nom partisan in the pub
LEGATION of news. It's constant endeavor
is to secure facts unbiased by preju-
dice and to make its columns trust
worthy records of each days happenings.
A large editorial force supplements the
| work of the press associations and the
correspondents, and furnishes careful
supervision for each department.
| The Sunday Journal has a well-estab-
lished literary character. superior to
that of any Western paper. 1t is not
defaced by "plate matter" nor filed
with heterogeneous mass of syndicate
literature. but its contributions and
miscellany are chosen with q view to
their special fitness and adaptability to
the tastes of the readers. The reading
matter in any given number of the Sun
day Journal is equal in quantity and 10
not inferior in quality to that found in
the leading magazines. As an educa-
tional adjunct and sourceof entertain.
ment the Sunday Journal is indispens.
able in every well-regulated family.
