fury. The termination Of the twenty
fifth year of its existence was made the
occasion for enlarging the paper, and it
is now larger than the London Times,
printed in much the same style, with
the wide columns and large type. 1t is
now the largest paper in the world
From feeble beginning, it has come to
be the most influential of American
newspapers, circulating among the most
enterprising and intelligent classes of
community in every part of the Union.
We have before US copy Of the T,'i-
6une dated November Is, 1874, being
number 1872 of the fourth year of its cx-
istencc. It Is interesting to compare
this copy with that of the 10th inst,
which is also before US. The one of ~,
published by Greeley 4 McElrath, is
smaller than the GAZETTE was in its
first years, and less than half the size of
the Tribune as now issued. In this paper
we read the words, written by its pres
ent editor nearly twenty-five years ago,
"tThrice is he armed who hath his
quarrel just and Truth after all is
mightier than Falsehood." The T,i-
5une was fighting the encroachments of
Slavery then. In its issue of the 10th
inst. is the announcement that tho Civil
Rights bill has become law, and 1t ex-
claims, Let us rejoice, friends of Equal
Rights! that our country has taken a
long stride forward on the road to that
goal where, Law being identical with
Right, every one upholds and blesses
Law as the guardian of his interest and
his freedom" In the review of "Twen-

The success of the Tribune is owing
to the fact that it took bold stand on
the side of Truth and Freedom, and
maintained itself as the Honest Friend
of the Whole People. Even the most
ardent haters of Horace Greeley and the
Tribune have always admired this pa
per's fearless straightforwardnes and
candor. 1t has never INDUCED in COW

bare certain others, from motives of
party policy, or for the purpose of adj
vancing the interests Of any clique. We
sincerely hope for the continued success
of this great and good paper, and hope |
its principles, SO firmly set in truth,
may ere long be altogether triumphant.

John A. Kasson, Representative from
