ther pains nor money In the effort to make The
tribune the very first newspaper in the world.
1t points TO the achievements OF the past
twelve months with pardon0be pride. While
The Tribune has retained all the excellent fea-
lures that made IL such q favorlte in former

voted its best energies to this business, and It's
success has been universally recognized and
applauded. The year has been fruitful OF start
ling oyents,and every Incident has found in The
Tribune us prOmptest, most accurate and most
perfectly equipped historian. A Tribune cor
respondent was the only civilian who Witness
ed the surrender Of the Nlrglnius, and his mic

public have yet seen Of an Incident upon which
depended Tor many weeks the question OF peace
or war The Tribune published the only full
and exhaustive account by Atlantic telegraph
OF the terrible Nlile IN llavrc disaster giving
all the Incidents OF that catastrophe ten days
before other journals received them by the
SLOW course Of the mails. IL distanccd ali com

absolutely Indispensable to business men and
It's special correspondents attCrNard described
the condition OF affairs in the manufactur-
Ing districts with an ability which no other pa

These are mere instances Of the uniform sue

ism which has steadily attended The Tribune
throughout the year, and may therefore be fair
~ taken rs an earnest Of what The Tribune is
likely TO do hereafter Its purpose in lsll Is to
surpasS It's previous record, constantly ncrcas
ing the efficiency Of It's organization, adding to
ITS resources. ana Keeping up its ancient celeb

long been distinguished for fulness and uccu-
racy, ana its quotations have been accepted as
standards In the cattle, produce, and provision
trades for many years. It's reports OF local al
fairs are acknowledged to be the most accurate
intelligent and complete; It's domestic CORE.
spOndence is always fresh and valuable and
abroad II IS served by the ablest writer's and
keenest observers cngagcdupon any American
periodical.
While 1T never can he neutral In politics,
The Tribune Is entirely Independent Of all par
ties and all partlSanS. II believes that the mere
organ OF clique cannot be thoroughly good

ries: And finally. IN the editorial discussion Of
public affairs, The Tribune endeavors to COM
pine the utmost frankneSS OF expression and
independence OF thought with strict impartl-
atty OF Judgment and that dignity and refine
mcnt OF language which bcht family news

other papers, pays no attention to personal
abuse, and reserves its columns for its readers
interests, not its editors grievances.
That there Is 2 popular appreciation of that
sort OF independent, vigorous, entcrprislng and
heightened journalism OF which The Tribune IS
now the chief representative in this or any
other country Is sufficiently proved by the re-
suits OF the past twelve months. The close Of
lsia llnds THIS paper more prosperous than It
has been at any previous period OF It's history,
and the new year opens for it with the most
brilliant prospects. In a short time its mechan-
ical facilities VIII surpass those of any other
Journal In the world and on the completion OF
Its new and magnificent building It win be en-
abled to introduce various Improvements of the
most important character.
