THE TRIBUNE FOR 1874.

\ year ago the editor of the Tribune promised
to make this journal during 1878 much more
valuable and complete newspaper than it had
ever been bcforc.- Its facilities for the collection
and transmission Of intelligence from all parts
of the world had been largely increased its staff
ofcduors, correspondents and reporters, had been
strengthened by the engagement Of some of the
ablest men in the profession and the editor was
resolved TO spare neither pains nor money in the
effort to make The TRErNG the very first news
paper in the world.
Ii points to the achievements Of the last
twelve months VITA rari0Eabic pride. While
THE TRIBUNE has retained all the cAcClicnt fca
lures that made it such favorite in former days
it has exhibited an enterprise and an acuteness
in its news department which have been the
wonder of all its old friends. Remembering that
the chief function of daily Journal is to give its
readers the fullest, the best arranged, the most
attractive, and the most readable history of the
occurrences Of the time, it has devoted lis hes:
energies to this business. and its success has
been universally recognized and applauded. The
year has been fruitful of startling events, and
every incident has found in THE TRIBUNE its
promptest, most accurate, and most perfectly
equipped historian. \ Tribune correspondent
was the only civilian WHO witnessed the surren-
der Of the Virginius, and his picturesque dcscrip
tion of that transaction, transmitted by tec-
graph, is the only account the public has yet seen
an incident upon which depended for many
weeks the question of peace or war. The TRI-
BUNE published the only full and exhaustive ac-
count by Atlantic telegraph of the terrible Vile
du Havre disaster, giving all the incidents of
that catastrophe ten days before other journals
received them by the slow course of the mails.
1t distanced all competitors in its thrilling story
by cable Of the adventures of the Polaris casta-
ways. II 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 lis special correspondent in the
West gave the only complete account OF the Far
mers' Movement ever published i'll an Eastern
paper. The reports of THE TRIBUNE presented
the important proceedings of the Evangelical
Alliance in this city with fulness and accuracy
everywhere the subject of enthusiastic praise.
During the panic its daily history Of Wall street
made il absolutely Indispensable TO business men;
and its special correspondents aitcrward de-
scribed the condition of affairs in the mnnuflc-
turing districts with ability which no other
paper seriously riyaled.
While il never can be a neutral in politics,
THE TRIBUNE is entirely independent of all par
ties and partisans. Ii believes that the mere or
gan of a clique cannot be Il thoroughly good
newspaper, and cannot be trusted for impartial
and just comment npOn current events. Ii main
tains with the old frrvOr and will always defend
the Republican principles Of equality and justice
with which. under the control of its iliustrious
founder. HORACE GREELEY, it was for over thirty
years identified. But ii values parties solely rs
means for procuring honest government on sound
principles.
That there is a popular appreciation Of that
sort of independent, vigorous, cnterprsing. and
high-toned journalism OF which THE TRIBUNE is
now the chief representative in this or any other
country, is sufficiently proved by the results of
the past twelve months. The close of 1913 finGs
this paper more prosperous than it has been at
any previous period of its history, and the new
F,rif /, tbn hrift
poets. In a short time its mechanical facilities
will surpass those Of any other journal in the
world; and on the completion of its new and
magnificent building it will be enabled to intro
duce various Improvements Of the most impOr-
tant character.
