TEEE TRIBUNE FOR 1874.


TEEE TRIBUNE FOR 1874.
\ year ago the editor of the Tribune promised
to make this journal during 1873 a much more
valuable and complete newspaper than it had
ever been before Its facilities for the collection
and transmission of Intelligence from all parts
of the world had been largely increased; its staff
Of EDITORS, correspondents and reporters, had been
| strengthened by the engagement of some of the
ablc-t men in the profession ; and the editor
resolved to spare neither pains nor money in the
effort to make The TRIBUNE the very first news
| paper in the world.
| Ii points to the achievements of the last
| twelve months with paydonabe pride. While
| THE TRIBUNE has retained all the excellent fta-
lures that made t such fayOritc ia former days
| it has exhibited an enterprise aud an acutcnesS
in its news department which have been the
| wonder of all its Old friends. Remembering that
the chic! function of daily journal is to give its
| leaders the fullest, the best arranged, the most
attractive, aud the most readable history of the
occurrences of the time, it has devoted its bes:
| energies TO this business, and its success has
! been universally recognized and applduded. The
year has been fruitful of startling events, and
| every incident has found in TIE TRIBUNE its
| DTomptcst. most accurate, aud most perfectly
| equipped historian. \ Tribune correspondent
| was the only civilian who witnessed the surrcn-
| der Of the Nrginius, and his picturesque dCscrp-
| tiun of that transaction. transmitted by tClC-
graph. is the only account the public has vet seen
| an incident upon which depended for many
weeks the question of peace or war. THE TRI-
| BUEE published the only full and exhaustive ac-
| count 10y Atlantic telegraph of the terrible Vile
| dU Hayrc disaster, giving al the incidents of
| that catastrophe ten days before other journals
| received them by the slow course of the mails.
Ii dsiauccd all competitors in its thrilling story
| by cable of the adventures of the POaris casta-
| ways. 1t anticipated every other paper in the
| country, and even the Government itself, by its
! graphic narratives of Custar's battles on TIE
| Yellowstone. The elaborate and deeply interest
! ing letters of its special correspondent in the
| West gave the only complete account of the Far
! mcrs' Movement ever published in an Eastern
| paper. The reports of THE TRIBUNE presented
! the important proceedings OF the Evangelical
Alliance in this city with fUllncss and accuracy
| everywhere the subject of enthusiastic praise.
| During the panic its daily history of Wall eucc;
! made il absolutely indispensable to business men;
| and it, special correspondents altcrwar1 de-
scribed the condition Of affairs in the manuiac-
| turing districts with an ability which no other
! paper seriously rivalel.
While it never can be a neutral in politics,
TIE TRIBUNE Is entirely independent of all par
ties and partisans. It believes that the mere or
gan Of a clique cannot be a thoroughly good
newspaper, and cannot be trusted for impartial
and just comment upon current events. Ii main
taus with the Old fcryOr and will always defend
the Republican principles Of equality and justice
with which, under the control of itS illustrous
founder. HoEACE GREELEY, ii was for over thirty
years Identified. But il values parties solely as
means FOR procuring honest government on sound
principles.
That there is a popular appreciation OF that
sort OF independent, vigorous cnterprising. and
hi-ll-tolcd journalism of which TIE TRIBUNE is
now the chief rgIreSe eutJ-Nr IN this or any other
country, is sufficiently proved by the results Of
the past twelve months. The close Of 1873 fnGs
this paper more prosperous than il has been at
any previous period Of its history, and the new
year opens Cor it with the most brilliant pros
poets. In a short tine lis mechanical facilities
will sUrp8ss those OF any other journal in the
world and on the completion of its new aud
magnificent building it will be enabled to intro
duCc various improvements OF the most impoT-
tan; character.
