During the coming Presidential year the Tribune

strife. But It saw two years ago, aud the first
persistenty to proclaim the new danger TO the
country from tho revived alliance Of the Solid
South and Tammany Hall. Against that danger
II sought to rally the old party OF Freedom and
the Union. II began by demanding the abandon
ment Of personal disllkes, and set tho example.
II called for an end to attacks upon each othor In
stead Of the enemy; aud for the heartiest agree.
ment upon whatever 1T candidates the majority
should put up against the common foe. since
then the tide OF disaster has been turned back;
every doubtful State has been won, and the omens
for National victory wore mover more cheering.
THE TRIBUNE's POSITION.
OF The Tribune's share in all this. those speak
most enthusiastically who have seen most OF the

phases Of the campaign now beginning. 1t will
earnestly strive that the party Of Freedom, Union
and the Public Faith may select the man surest to

Wlnterlng Bees.

1t is estimated by our best apiar-
ians that one half OF al the honey
bees in the United States perish in
the winter season, and no one has
vet been able to discover a remedy
for this serious evil. The cause is
cold weather, when the hives are
left unprotected or their summer
stands; and other troubles when
placed in winter bee house or eel
lar. Very mild winters will, in the
latter case, cause the bees to be very
uneasy and many die in their efforts
to get out of their hives. Then long
prolraeted, cold winter will cause
great mortality even in the houses
and cellars, and IN some cases the
result is quite unaccountable. In
deed the minds of bees keepers are
now strongly exercised over the
question, How TO winter bees sue
cessfully." When the hives are pro.
tected by an outer box, without top
or bottom, and slipped over the hives
aud large enough to admit pack.
ing of chat, fine hay or straw two or
three inches thick on all sdes OF the
hive. leaving The passage way open.
bees may be lett 10 winter on their
summer stands, aud as safely as in
any Other place, it the hives be well
