The Largest Circulation Among the Best
ppOp1a


The Largest Circulation Among the Rest
People.
During the past year the New York Tribune
reached the largest circulation it ever attained with
Inc single exception of short period in the first
Lincoln administration. 1t is a larger circulation
and more widely distributed over the whole country
than any ev,r enjoyed by any other newspaper in
the United States. This fact may be taken as the
verdict OF the american people on the Tribunes
political force, its fidelity to sound principles and
Its merits as newspaper.
For 1881 the Tribune will try to deserve equally
well of the public. What and how much il did for
the success of General Garfield it is content TO LET
earnest Republicans tell. 1t now hopes to give to
MS Administration a discriminating support as eff

istration should watch its course The events to he
recorded in the Tribune for 1881 will therefore have
a peculiar interest. The year promises besides to
show whether the South will still sacrifice every
thing to sodiy; and whether the Democratic party
after twenty years of disloyaty and defeat will
dissolve or reform. Abroad it will show whether
England can compose Ireland whether the Repub.
TIC In France without the support of the leaders
VINO established 1t, can stand alone; whether the
Iurk can longer pollute Europe. In Science it
promises such practical trumphs as the use of elec
triclty for gas, new modes of heating and new
forms OF power in place of steam. In Literature
and Art it offers the very flower of our nineteenth
century development; in Religion, a concentration
OF 1oroe, and union of organization on simpler creeds
and better work
No Intelligent man will be willing to live througb
the year without reading of these things; and he

The WALDENSES.-TheR Rev. Emelio
Comba, who represents the Waldensian
Church of Italy in the Presbyterian
Council, preached in Philadelphia last
Sunday upon the progress of the Wald-
enSeS and the general state of religion in
italy. He is sent from the Waldenslan
Seminary in Florence, where he succeed
ed the late DR.. Revel. In the course of
remarks he said: you know that from
the second or third century Italy has
been the country of the Pope, but it is
not generally known that it has at all
times been the country of protestations
against the dominion Of the Pope. At the
same time there have been numbers of
infidels in the country, and Italy has new
CT been thoroughly Christian or wholly
Catholic. Catholicism has not always
held full sway, for from the earliest times
we can point to protesting leaders, and
coming up to Il later date, we have Waldo
himself, and he represents the Protest
ants of all ages in Italy. The Waldenscs
had not intended to break off from the
Church of Rome, and did not do SO be-
cause of any doctrnal difference, but be-
cause in the Catholic Church reading of
Bible was prohibited and then it was.
they said, better to obey God than men.
They studied the Bible until their enc
mics feared them and their knowledge
strengthened them to stand thirty three
bloody prosecutions. They were pre-
served by the providence of God because
lie had chosen them For the extension of
HIS Kingdom. Until 1S4S, when Victor
Emanuel proclaimed liberty for Italy, the
Waldenses were not allowed the freedom
OF speech, and their boys were prohibited
from becoming lawyers or professors or
officers of the army.
