The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1893-10-18


Is cents a week. and it has very
wide circulation, reaching large num-
Der of people hitherto unable to afford
the luxury of first-class daily paper.
Reports from agents and subscribers
indicate q continued increase, and that
what used to be regarded as a luxury
has become necessity. The new read.
ers not only remain. but they are con-
stantly increasing.
1t is the purpose of the Journal to
make itself even more indispensable to
its patrons, new and old, and to still
further widen its field. To this endit
will not only endeavor to maintain the
charact eristics 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 ex-
ample, give increased attention to State
and local interests. What Indianians
want is a paper in which Indiana affairs
given are 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 its corps of correspondents has
been increased until ithas representa-

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 a radius of hun
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. The change of admins
tration involves the settlement oe
political problems 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 corre-
spondent being instructed to give
especial attention to every hing having
apostolic bearing on Indiana interests.
But though the Journal is Republican
in politics it is bipartisan in the pub

is to secure facts unbiased by preju-
dice and to make its columns trust

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 filled
with a heterogeneous mass of syndicate
literature, but its contributions and
miscellany are chosen with view to
