POLITICS OF THE TRIBUNE

The Chicago Tribune is bold, earnest and
straight forward Republican paper, devoted to the
cause of Freedom, Progress and Reform. Beev-
ing that Liberty, and not Bondage, is the saving
principle of the American Republic, the Tribune is
enlisted into the ranks of the National Republicans
not for campaign. but during the war. Taking
the Constitution as its chart and the immortal dec
laration of Independence as its text book, it con-
tends for the principles declared by the unanimous
vote of the Fathers of the Republic in the Congress
of 1857: "Ihat Slavery involuntary ser,itude Is
Inconsistent with the fundamental principle of civil
and religious liberty and il therefore insists that
Slavery shall be excluded from the National Terri
tories, and that the just influence of the Federal
Government he excrted ON the side of Freedom
The Tribune synpatllises with that Protestant
principle which recognizes the Individual as
Free Agent-iree to form his own opinion on all
questions 1t contemns ecclesiastical interference
ut the ballot box and looks with disirust upon the
close political alliance existing between the two sys
tens ofdespotism in America-Popery and Slavery

COOLING RooMs.-The warm weather is
here, and every cue will be seeking the re-
freshing influence of cool end shady
place whereunto they can retreat from the
blazing sun; SO we will give our readers
few hints concerning the cooling Of their
houses. The first necessity is a thorough
draft. This can be obtained by opening
every door aud window in the basement.
the top of every window above, and by
throwing each door wide open; but above
all be sure that the trap door in the roof is
open; and there is plenty oi air room from
il down the stairs so that whichever be the
direction Of the wind, there will be at least
one ascending current Of air in the house.
Another requisite is shade. Our. COM
mon slat shutters answer well tor tho win
dows. but the most cheap aud convenient
shelter for the roof is to cover it thickly
with straw, dried reeds or rushes. These
will resist the influence OF the MONDAY sun,
and keep the garret as cool as the base
ment. One Of the mos simple methods
and at the same time cheapest means Of
arti6cally lowering the temperature OF a
room is.to wet cloth of any size, the larg-
er the better, and suspend it IN the place
you want to cool; let the room be well
ventilated, and the temperature will sink
from ten to twenty degrees in less than
half an hour. The above hint win b. use-
ful to many. and as last suggestion We
will inform the reader that. in summer, it
is we'll 10 keep a solution Of chloride OF
lime in the more frequent parts. as The pas

brushing his coat or dustinG lis boots
10 all which movements the Sucker took
exceptions as being what he termed lit

drew his chair beside the Virginian and
began:

the Sucker,

That will do, is aphrase Of modern in

household use; as the remains Of Pompeii
fully testify.
