Republican Authority.

The first Congress during President Hami-
sons administration will assemble at Wash
ilgton this winter and people will probably
look to The New York Tribune foe official
interpretations of the policy of the Republi-
can party at the National capital. Oar
metropolitan contemporary is especially iden-
tilted with Protective Tariff, pensions for
Union veterans, and various other clauses
In the Republican creed; and its endorse
ment, recently, as the official newspaper of
the Republican clubs of the country makes
it more than ever the principal National
authority of the Republican party. What
ever else may be said of The Tribune, every
one must concede that the paper is conduct
ed with consumate ability. Its prospectus,
printed in another column today, shows that
it will spend good deal of money during
1890 for matters that can be read with
interest by men of every political faith.
The reader is referred to The Tribune's own
statement of them for further particulars.
Some very eminent and brilliant names ap-
pear among its list of contributors. Prizes
worth S2440 are given away to those who
raise clubs of subscribers, including a free
trip 10 New York and entertainment in the
city; and there are a great many new prem
iums for readers. A 20-page Catalogue has
been prepared, which will be sent in return
for cent stamp.
