by.
Unwilling to intrude on their conver-
sation he stepped aside, and heard, "Saun-
ders, say Can ye no hear me?" Eyes,
minister, hear ye. What's your wull?"
"Can We no whistle some mair solemn
and gOdly tune while ye're at your work."
"A-weel, minister, if It be your wull, III

The New York Tribune.
The Leading American Newspaper
founded by Horace Greeley.

TN the recent elections the people
have decided in favor of honesty
III politics and independence in jour-
nalism. The Tribune, which years
ago declared that it was not and new
er would be party organ, claims
the verdict, as the popular vindica-
ton of its course, and recognizes in
the result the voice of the people for
reform and integrity in government,
for.candOr and independence among
newspapers. During the campaign
which has just closed THE TRIBUNE
has fully maintained its right to the
title Of the Leading American
Newspaper" This position it has
earned and retains for the following,
among other reasons:
Itpublishes ALL the news earlier,
more fully, and more intelligently
than any other paper.
1tinsists on peace throughout the
whole country, the right of local self
government, and the protection of all
classes in the exercise of their just
and legal rights.
feeling between North and South,
and labors for an honest and abiding
reconciliation.
Itmaintains fairness and candor to-
ward all public men and questions,
and dignity and courtesy toward as
sociates and rivals.
Itpublishes scientific news, reports,
discussions and discoveries to de-
gree of fullness and accuracy never
before attained by any paper.
1t gives every week ten or more
columns of the most carefully prepar-
ed agricultural matter during the
year, much more in the aggregate
than the entire contents OF any other
agricultural publication, and the
whole forming a departmental which
an eminent agricultural editor saies
VT has done more to make good farm
ers than any other influence which
ever existed.n
It has published series ofscientifie
and literary extras which have met
wider sale and more emphatic pop
ular approval than than any similar
publication of the kind.
