For 1879.

The consolidation of Italy, so long frag |
mentary and impotent, into one powerful State, |
with Rome as its capital; the humiliation OF
France through series of crushing defeats, |
ending with the siege and eapitulation OF her
Bourbons from the Spanish throne, and the sub.
stitution for them of scion of the most liberal
among royal houses the virtual absorption of
the Kingdoms of Saxony, Wurttemberg, Bavaria,
with Baden, Hesse, the Hanse Towns, &C.,
under the headship of Prussia, into the triumph.
ant and powerful empire of Germany; and the
arming of Russia to reassert her preponderance
in the councils of Europe, or to prosecute her
often postponed but never relnquished designs
on the great city founded by Constantine and the
vast but decaying and anarchical dominion Of the
Sultan, all combine to invest with profound in
terest the ever. changing phases OF our tidngs
from the Old World. The Tribune, through
trusted correspondents stationed at all points in
Europe where great movements are in progress
or imminent, aims to present complete and IN
structive panorama OF events on that continent,
and to mirror the prolonged struggle between
middle age Feudalism and Ecclesiasticism on
the one hand and Nineteenth. Century skepticism
and secuarism on the other. Recognizing
Divine Providence in all that proceeds and is, it
looks hopefully on the great conflicts as destined
like our own recent convulsion) to evolve from
strife, disaster, and seeming chaos, talrer and
happier future for the toiling masses OF mankind:
In our own country war upon corruption and
rascality in Office has been inaugurated in our
City, whereby the government of our State has
been revolutionized through an initial triumph
of Reform which surprises the most sanguine
ahtcipatiohs. IL Is mora,iy certain 'ea' Tue

to be felt in every part of the Union, rebuking
venality, exposing robbery, wrestling power from
politicians by trade, and con6ding it in those
