The Leading American Newspaper,
Foundcdby Horace Greeley

TN THE RECENT ELECTIONS
i the people have declared in favor Of
honesty in politics and independence
in journalism. THE TRIBUNE, which
years ago declared that it was not and
never more would be party organ.
claims the verdict, as the popular vim.
dicatiOn of its course, and recognizes
in the result the voice of the people
for reform and integrity in governs
ment, for candor and Independence
among newspapers. During the cam
paign which has just closed THE Tn
BuNE has fully maintained its right to
the title of the s'Leading American
Newspaper" This position it has
earned and retains for the following.
among other reasons:
1t publishes all the news. carler.
more fully, and more intelligently than
any other paper.
1t insists on peace throughout tho
whole country, the right of local self
government, and the protection of all
classes in the exercise Of their Just and
legal rights.
1t advocats confidence and good feel
ing between North aud South, and
labors for an honest and abiding re-
Cancellation.
1t maintains fairness and cap(lor IN.
ward all public men and questions, and
dignity and courtesy toward associates
and rivals.
1t publishes scientific news, reports:
discussions and discoveries to degree
of fullness and accuracy never before
attained by any paper.
1t gives every week ten or moro
columns of the most carefully prepared
agricultural matter during the year,
much more in tile aggregate than tho
entire contents of any other aeri-
cultural publication, and the whole
forming a department of which an
eminent agricultural editor said: at
has done more to make good farmers
than any other influence which ever
existed"
1t has published a series of scientific
and literary extras which have met a
wider scale and more emphatic popu-
lar approval than any similar publica-
ton of the kind.

"THE WORLD" AND ITS WORK.

Those of our Democratic friends who
desire to subscribe for New York
Paper will find none that equals The
World in ability, or that so fearlessIy
and early advocates Democratic
principles. In the news from all parts
of the world, it is complete, and its
editorials on all subjects are vigorous
and logical. To the farmer it is un-
valuable: teaches him many things
that tend to promote his best interests
which he sorely needs his eyes opened
to. The World is now doing a great
work in behalf of the Democratic party,
and should be fully sustained. II Biug-
hamton Leader.

becomes therefore a matter of vital i'm.

WEST OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER

THE UNPRECEDENTED SUCCESS
L with which the Times has met, since
it's establishment, is convincing evil
dcnce that the people Of the West and
South fully appreciate the efforts Of a
journal. which, in addition to its en-
terprise as a newspaper, has the cour-
age to boldly declare and constantly
maintain the principles of its political
faith.
The public journal most deserving
of Democratic support is the one that,
in addition to being full and faithful
medium Of general news, is also firm
and consistent advocate of Democratic
principles. A Democratic newspaper
is the newspaper for Democrats to
support, and the idea sometimes sought
to be incalcnlated by those who have
an interest of their own in doing SO,
that The people must go outside their
party organs to. "6nd the news" is alb
! surd and irrational. There is no sort
of incompatibility whatever between
the political and non-political journal
as to the matter of news; many of the
papers now published throughout the
country, and especially valuable for
the amount and variety of their intel
ligence, being also known for the abil-
! ity and earnestness with which they
champion their peculiar party views.
Hence all things else being equal, it is
manifestly the duty of Democrats to
limit their newspaper patronage to
such as are of their own way of think
ing and not to sqnander their means on
those that wage constant warfare upon
their established convictions.
It is our desire to see the TINES in
the hands of all Democrats, and every
well.wisher ofthe government through
out the land, and in order that this
may be done, we arc now offering the
following extraordinary inducements
to those who will interest themselves
and act in the capacity of club agents
for the TINES throughout the country.
These rates for subscriptions and the
premiums are exclusively for subscri-
hor, 1>u roo;l Of OH no, onnuu,.

ANOTHER TURN OF THE COMPRO
MISE SCREW.

As reported IN this mornings paper, Mr.
Wheeler sends word, through Marsha
Packard, That 'only those who sign the prop.
osition VIII be allowed consideration by the
arbitrator. This is anew condition, an after
Thought Of Mr. Wheeler's, most probably s7,r-
gested by Packard, and is to cur mind con
elusive evidence that the Radical Me,lis-
tophe'cs and his Congressional pupil have
but one object in view, na.aely TO
compel the Conservative members to com
mt themselves ouer their o,pn sign,tlrns
60 the recognition of the Kellogg usurpation,
after which Packards teeming brain will find
some preteXt for breaking up all further ne
5otiatons, thus leaving the verdant signers of
the aforementioned paper completely in the
iurch.
Believing, rs We do, that the gentlemen
whose intended action ia this matter we have
felt compelled to oppose arc acting in
good faith ard i. becoming hourly
more plain to our humble judgment
that most impudent attempt to bamboozle
them is going Oh in Washington, we respect
fully and earnestly ask them to pause before
they allow themselves to be made ridiculous
by such unscrupulous trickstcrs as Packard
and his Congressional associates. The extra
ordinary course Of Mr.. Wheeler. and his
ominous alliance with tho arch-intriguer and
chief wirepuller Of the Kellogg party, ought
to open the eyes Of the most confiding mem !
Der from the most Arcadian Of rural districts
The presence of a rat Of the hugest size is
becoming manifest to the dullest olfactory
organ, and We trust our unsorhisticated legis-
lators viii realize the fact, and think twice
before they take the fatal leap which may
ultimately land them into thai well known
spot which, although removed but one step
from the sublime, is not generally considered
to be q desirable pedestal to stand upon.

Notwithstanding the herculean efforts of the
reformed to restrict and decrease the use o.
tobacco, official statistics go to show that the
consumption of the weed in this country
makes a steady increase. Aside from the
amount consumed in other forms, it appears
by actual computation that the average num-
Der OF cigars smoked in the United States
each twenty-tour hours reaches the colossa
aggregate Of 5, 10000. The smoker not only
pays for his enjoyment but he contributes
heavily to the support Of the Government,
which could hardly get along now without
the tobacco revenue. For instance during
the last fiscal year Sc, 100000 Al in gold
duties was derived from imported cigars, and
Sj3, 2l2, S75 G2 in currency from taxes on
domestic cigars and tobaHo or a grand total
OF s39 392, 936 O3. Here is an annual revenue
nearly equal to 81 per capita Of the population
OF the country, women and children included.

THE SITUATION IN FRANCE.

After so much protracted wrangling, The
National Assembly of France has at last sue
ceeded in reaching definite conclusion a.
to the kind of government which is to prevail
III that country, at least for some years tc
come. This unexpected result is mainly due
TO the general alarm created by the intrigues
and Vaccinations of the Bonapartist faction.
