THE TRIBUNE FOR 1874.

Il
year ago the editor Of The Tribune promis.
cd to make this journal DURING is73 much
more valuable and complete newspaper than It
had ever been before. It's facilities for the col
lection and transmission Of Intelligence from
all parts Of the world had been largely lncreas-
ed It's STAFF Of editors, correspondents, and re-
porters had been strengthened by the engage
ment OF some Of the ablcst men In the profess
sion and the editor was resolved 70 spare ncl-
ther pains nor money in the effort to make The
Tribune the very first newspaper In the world,

twelve months with pardonable PRIDE white
The Tribune has retained all the excellent fea-
lures That made 1t such n fayortc in former
days, It has exhibited an enterprise and acute
ness in Its news department which have been
the wonder Of all It's old friends. Remembering
that the chief function Of a daily Journal is to
give It's readers the fullest the hest arranged,
the most attractive, and the most readable his
tory OF the occurrences Of thc time, II has de-
voted It's best energies to this business, and It's
success has been universally recognized and
applaudcd. The year has been fruitful OF start
ling cvents,an every Incident has found In The
Tribune its prompte,t, most accurate and most
perfectly equipped historian. Tribune cor
respondent was the only civilian who witness
ed the surrender Of the Vlrginlus, and his pic
turesquo description OF that transaction trans
mltted by telegraph, IS the only account the
public have yet seen Of an Incident upon which
depended for many weeks the question Of peace
or war. The Tribune published the only fun
and exhaustive account by Atlantic telegraph

all the Incidents Of that catastrophe ten DAYS
before other journals received them by til.

petltors In Its thrilling story by cable OF the adj
ventures OF the Polaris castaways. 1t anticipa-
ted every other paper In the country and even
the government itself, by graphic narratives OF
Clusters battles on the Yellowstone. The clah
crate and deeply interesting letters of the spc-
cial correspondent of the West gave the only
complete account OF the Farmers Movement
ever published In an Eastern paper. The re-
ports OF The Tribune presented the Important
proceedings OF the Evangelical Alliance In THIS
city with Il fullness and accuracy everywhere
the subject Of enthusiastic praise. During the
panic It's daily history OF wall street made II
absolutely Indispensable to business men amt
Its special correspondents atterWard described
the condition OF affairs in the manufacture
ing districts with an ability which no other pa
per seriously rlvalcd.
These are mere Instances Of the uniform sue
cess In the most Important branch Of Journal
ism which has steadily attended The Tribune
throughout the year, and may therefore be- fair
ly taken as an earnest Of what The Tribune I,
likely to do hereafter. Its purpose I'm lsT4 Is 10
surpass It's previous record, constantly incrcus
ing the efficiency Of its organization, adding 10
It's resources. and keeping up It's ancient ccleb-
rty as an organ OF cultivated and thoughtful
men, and high authority in literature, science
and the arts. 1t Will continue to devote especial
attention to the proceedings OF learned bodies
to education, to scientific discoveries and eX-
ploratlons, to new Inventions, TO agriculture to
the promotion of American industry and to
books, pictures, music and the drama. Its H.
nanclai articles have won apeeuiarly high re-
In its columns. It's reports OF the markt Is have
long been distinguished Tor fullncsl and accu-
raCy, and It's quotations have been accepted AS
standards in the cattle, produce, and provision
trades for many years. Its reports Of local az
fairs are acknowledged to De the most accurate

spOudence Is always fresh and valuable; and
abroad 1t is served by the ablest writers and
keenest observers engaged upon any Amerlc a.,
periodical.
While IL never can be a neutral in politics,
The Tribune is entirely Independent Of All par
ties and all partisans. 1t believes that the mere
organ OF u Clique cannot be II thoroughly good

and just comment upon current events. 1t

That there Is a popular appreciation OF that
sort OF independent, vigorous, enterprising and
heightened journalism OF which The Tribune IS
now the chief representative IN this or ans
other country, is sufficiently proved by the re-
suits OF the past twelve months. The close OF
is7s finds this paper more prosperous than II
has been at any previous period OF its history,
and the new year opens for II with the most
brilliant prospects. In n short time It's mechan-
ical facilities Will surpass those Of any other
