Tlie Inter-Ocean for 1883. - To give all the news without-indulging in ofl'ehsive sensationalism; te be courageous and aggressive in the advocacy of well-es-tablished principles, without being narrowminded or unfair; to cater to the tastes of •U classes of intelligent readers, without .pandering to the preoudices of any; to present in most attractive form the greatest variety sf matter, without curtailing of lowering the standard of any department, to grew in interest and excellence with each aucceeding year of its existence, is to be the mod-jl newspaper. From tee first it has been the aim of the publishers of the InteY-Ocean to have the paper reach this high standard, and in each ofthe ten years of its existence a notable step forward has been taken. As every change has met with encouraging respouce from the public iu tho shape of increased patronage, it is fair to assume that the efforts of the publishers have been in the jright direction and have been appreciated. The Inter-Ocean will remain uncornprom" ising.y republican, will maintain its pres but attitude of protecting American industries; will continue to devote special attention to trade, transportation and economic questions: will retain the departments Curiosity Shop (acUrreent encylypedia bf curious, interesting, and valuable in- j formation, called out by inquiries of su.- i

eiibers); f’Ae Woman’s Kingdom (devoted to the progressive movements in which women 4 are interested(: The Fnrm and Home (covering tropics of special interest to farmers, their wives, and their children), The Veterinary (containing answers to questions as tn the treatment of horses, cattle, and other animals by one of the best veterinary suorgeons in the West); and Complications (taking in puzzles, enigmas, conundrums, etc), all of whice are peculiar to the paper; will give as much sp'ac; aS hitherto to serial and short stories, original and seleced sketches, and poems, and with increaseb facilities ’for news-gathering in the shape of special wires to New York and Washington, and experienced enis well placed at home and aboard, will more than maintain its high standard for enterprise and accuracy in all departments of news.

Tub Inter Ocfan, always closely indentified with the interests of the West, has led in the word of of both the Northwest and the Southwest, and it will continue to make prominent characteristic features of the progress 6t the newer communities toward Staehood. No paser in the country eas given so much attention to immigration movements, railway and canal enterprises race and economic problems, and other tropics relating to the prospeaity of.the older States and the development of rhe newer sections as the The Inter Ocean. Because it is constantly enlurgiug the field of newspaper discussion, and grapping unhesitatingly with all new questions that come before the people, it has increaseb rapidly ,in circulation among all classes o f radesmen and farmers. Because of its enterprise in leasting special telegraph wires o the great news centers, it has grown in T aver with all who like completeness and accuracy in dispatches, Because of its steadfast Republicanism and its close sympathy with the best dements of the Republican party, in has grown steadily in favor with party men. Because of the high character and wide range of its lit.-rary and special departments, it has become agreater favorite in the home than any other distinctively political paper in the county. The aim has been to make it tne best paper for citv, suburban, of country readers the best paper for the buftiess man and his family; the best paper for the strong partisan as well as for the general reader; and as the circulation of the several additions has increased more rapidly the past year than in any previous year, and as it isno laaper than that of any other paper west, of New York City, the publishersfeeling that they have fair measure of pop ular approval, will continue in the course marked out, making such improvements as will keep The Inter Ocean at the head of the list of American journals as the model newspaper.
