Up to date Journalism.

We call attention to the prospectus of
The New York Tribune in another
column. That progressive journal, the
dean of metropolitan newspaperdom,
has displayed it's enterprise by changing
its former semi weekly edition to a tri.
weekly, giving one more number per
week for half dollar less per annum.
The Tri-Weekly Tribune makes a new
departure from the old practice of The
Tribune Office, by adopting holder type
for the display headings to its news arti
Giles. This makes the Tri-WeekIy very
handsome sheet and we predict great
popularity for it. The Tribune is a
thoroughly complete newspaper and
commands respect even among the
opponents of its politics by refusal to
yield any part of it's space to vulgarity
and scandal. Its Americanism is beyond
question. 1t champions boldly the policy
OF the government, with regard to the
new island possessions OF the United
States; and it is one OF the ablest sup
porters in the country OF protection and
sound money. By patent process OF
its own, The Tribune prints many half.
tone pictures in the course OF each week,
and makes as strong an effort to enter.
tain as to INSTRUCT it's readers.
