States. This fact NAV be taken as the verdict
of the American People on the The Tribune's
political force, its fidelity to sound principles,
and its merits as a newspaper.
For 1881, The Tribune will try to deserve
equally well of the public. What and how much
it did for the success of General Garfield it is
content TO let earnest Republicans tell. 1t now
hopes to give to his Administration a discrim-
naiing support as effective as its efforts for his
election.
The Tribune will labor for, and it confidently
expects the incoming Administration to pro-
mote. free and fair suffrage, South and North,
sound money, protection to Home Industry,
iud:ciOus liberality in Internal Improvements,
and Civil Service conducted on business prin-
ciples, on the theory of elevating, not of ignor-
ing or degrading politics.
Every citizen who helped to bring in this Ad-
ministratiOn should watch its course. The
events to be recorded in The Tribune for 1881
will therefore have peculiar interest. The
year promises besides TO show whether the SOuh
will still sacrifice everything TO solidity; and
whether the Democratic party, after twenty
years of disloyalty and defeat, will dissolve OIL
reform. Abroad it will show whether England
can compose Ireland; whether the Republic in
France, without the support of the leaders who
established it, can stand alone; whether the
Turk can longer pollute Europe. In Science il
promises such practical triumphs as the use o.
electricity for gas. new modes of heating, anC
new forms Of power in place of steam. In Lit
erature and Art it offers the very flower of oul
nineteenth century development; in Religion
a concentration of force. and union of organiza-
tons on simpler creeds and better work.
No intelligent man VIII be willing to live
through the year without reading of these things
and We will be wise to look for them in the journ
al which has long enjoyed the distictiOn of th'
largest circulation among the best people. This
position The Tribune secured and means 20 re-
tain by becoming the medium of the hest though
and the voice of the best conscience of the time
by keeping abreast of the highest progress, ,fav'
oring the freest discussion, hearing all sides, ap
pealing always to the best intelligence and th'
purest morality, and refusing to cater to th'
tastes ofthe vile or the p-eudices ofthe ignorant

Congress on Thursday and was cordially
received by men of all parties. Each
house took a recess of ten minutes to
pay respect to the distinguished eX-
President. A few Democratic members
voted against adjournment, and after
wards refrained from paying the General
any attention,bu they were for the most
part of the Northern copperhead class.
The Southern Democrats who had the
pluck to back up their opinions greeted
him in manly and courteous manner.
