NOW, Is heretofore, AhsotNh SANto ~
be first of all and pre- eminentlys ners paper.
France n Republic-England and Germany
gradually permeated with Republican ideas
Spain svaying in the nerveless grasp OF ruler
too good for King and too weak for 3 Repnb-
hcsn. who is unable TO govern the great island
that blocks the entrance to our Gulf OF Mexico
and equally unable 10 give it up-the German
speaking peoples agitated by new Protestant
ism, separating from the See Of Rome on the
dogma Of Pspsi Infsllibili,y and assuming TO
recognize the ''Old Catholics She whole Con.
tinent pervaded by the intellectual ferneu' that
comes Of the conflict between old ideas, philo-
sophical, theological, material, and the advances
of Physical Science-Russis and Great Britain
running a race for the final gains that shall
determine Asistic supremacy-ChinH seeming
ready TO abandon her advances and reclose her
half opened gates-Jspan abolishing feUdahsm
and inviting Western civilization to irradiate
Western commerce to enrich her long hidden
empire-such are phases OF the news from abroad
which the mails over all Continents and the
wires under all Seas are daily bearing to Us.
With able and trusted Correspondents in the
leading capitals, and wherever great changes arc
| in progress, THE TRIBUNE aims, at whsteyer
cost, to lay before its readers the most prompt,
complete, and popular preseniment of these
/ diverse and conflicting movements-lhroUgh all
/ of which, rs 1t fondy trusts, the toiling masses
are everywhere struggling up TO ward larger re-
| cogniton and brig her future.
At home the struggle for Freedom seems over
! The last slave has long been a citizen the las,
: opposition to emancipation, entranchisement.
&, equal civil rights, has been formally abandoned
No party, North or South, longer disputes the
! result of the War for the Union all declare that
these results must never be undone and with
! a whole people thus united on the grand plat
form of All Rights for All, whereto our bloody
struggle, and the prolonged civil contests that
followed, have led us, the Republic closes the
records Of the bitter, hateful! Past, ant turns
peacefully, hopefully, to the less alarming be
cause less vital problems of the Future. To
whatever may elucidate the general discussion
or action on these, THE Tribune gives amplest
space and most impartial record. Whatever
parties may propose, whatever political leaders
may say, whatever officers may do, is fairly set
down in its columns, whether this news hcl rs or
binders its own views. Its readers have the
right to an honest statement of the facts and
this they always get.
But as to its own pslitical principles, IHE
TRIBUNE is OF. course, hereafter as heretofore,
the champion of Equal Rights irrespective OF
Race Nativity, or Color 1t stands II iexibly
by the Anne ndments for the permanent security
Of those Rights, which have been solemnly in
corporated by the People, in the Constitution OF
the United States. Independent of all political
parties, it endeavors to treat them all with judi
cial fairness. 1t labors to purify the admins
Tation of Government, National, State, and
Municipal, and whenever those in authority
whether IN National, State, or Municipal affairs
take the lead in this work, it will therein give
them its cordial support. But it can never be
the .eryitor of any political party nor will il
surrender or even waive its right tn crIucISc anC
condemn what is wrong, and commend what /;
right in the action of any parties or OF any pub
lie men.
Now, as always, THE TRIsUNE labors with all
its heart for the promotion of tie great ma

of Invention and Of Labor Saving, the develop
ment of our resources, the preservation of oul
Land for the landless and its rapid subJuga
ton to human wants, the utilization OF our vast
underlying Ores, the extension Of the facilities
for bringing Producer and Consumer nearer to
gether-whatever tends to swell the ranks, IN
: crease the knowledge and better the condition
of those devoted to Productive Industry find,
, mention and encouragement in our columns.
