powerful empire of Germany and the arm
ing of Russia to reassert her prep0nderance
in the Councils of Europe, or to prosecute
her often postponed but never relinquished
designs on the great city founded by Con-
stantine and the vast but decaying and an
archial dominion of the Sultan, all combine
to invest with profound interest the ever
phases of our tidings from the Old
World. The Tribune through trusted cor
respondents stationed at all points in Eu-
rope where great movements are in progress
OF imminent, aims to present complete and
instructive panorama of events on that con-
tinent, and to mirror the prolonged struggle
between middle-aged Feudalism and Eecles-
asticsm on the one hand and Nineteenth
Century skepticism and secularism on the
other. Recognizing Divine Providence in
all that proceeds and is, it looks hopefully on
the great conflict as destined like our own
recent convalsion} to evolve from strife, dis
aster, aud seeming chaos, fairer and hap
pier future for the toiling masses of mankind
In our own country, a war upon corruption
and rascality in Office has been inaugurated
in our City, whereby the government of our
State has been revolutionized through an IN
itial triumph of Reform which surpasses the
most sanguine anticipations. It is morally
certain that the movement thus inaugurated
cannot, in It's progress, be eircumscribed TO
any locality or any party, but that its plri-g
flying influence is destined to be felt in every,
part of the Union, rebuking venality, expos
ing robbery, wrestling power from politicians
by trade, and confding it in those worthiest
and fittest to WELD it, To this benefcente
and vitality needed Reform, The TsTb1ae viii
