During the year 1901 The Tribune is

Inchest of reading matter, all of It edited
and put Into type In The Tribune nfllce.
.As ii matter of curiosity It may be
worth while to" note how our esteemed
contemporaries compared with this rec

of Its 'Sunday and Weekly editions, 2,7i"2
pages, containing 23fi'37S Inches of read

"plate mutter;" the Times, 2,854 pages,

"plate matter:" anil the Truth, 2,742
pages, containing 204,327 inches of read

We are happy to announce that the
year 1801, In spite of the business dis
turbances with which our community
was beplagued, was the most prosperous-
year In Tho Tribune's history,
showing steady gains in all its depart
ments. The New Year.
-"HE COMPLETION of one
year and the beginning of
another very naturally call
for a short interval of ro
tleuilon. In a material sense, the
year just ended was one of mar
velous development. It marked a
new :ccord in general business
prosperity and in the adapta
tion of the forces of nature to man's
convenience and comfort. In the earn
est activity of all the agencies of hu
manity the year was equally notable.
Statistics show that during it a larger,
n far larger, total contribution was
made to benevolences nnd to edu
cation than In any year of which
we have record. If there has been
a development of luxurious living
in consequence of the prodigality of
our national resources, there has also,
and in far larger proportion, been a
generous outpouring of the spirit ot
human brotherhood.
In other words, the new conturv has
bebn inaucurated most auspiciously.
Though to thoughtful minds it brings
problems and perplexities ample to en
list the best energies or its people, there
is every Incentive to hopefulness and
less than tho usual warrant for pes
simism. Man's l elation to nature has
been broadened by e!entlfle discovery
until few of the terrors that beset our
grandparents remain. Disease, al
though not eliminated, has been so cur
tailed by sanitary progress that in all
of the more civilized countries the
death rate is decreasing and great
scourges have ceased to wipe out whole
communities. Tho strides which our
civilization has made in ministering to
the comforts of mankind do not re
quire notice. Tie humblest peasant to
day enjovs conveniences unknown to
th'e haughtiest prince of a few genera
tions ago, Nor has this vast accumu
lation of material prosperity massed
Uselt In tho selllsh grasp of a few.

Llkcly to Be Instructive.
THEIIK AUK soon to come to
this city for trial In the Fed
eral court six residents of
New York, part owners of a
game preserve In Pike county, who, It
Is alleged, have repeatedly violated
Pennsylvania's game laws. The prose
cution Is at the Instance of the secre
tary ot the stale game commission, who
claims to be personally cognizant of
many of the nlleged offenses.
We refer to this matter ut this time
with no desire to prejudice the trlul of
this particular cause, but to commend
tho bringing of It Into court. The de
fendants In this action may be Inno
cent. For their sakes we trust that the
evidence to be presented may so show.
Hut it is notorious that violations of
our game laws are many nnd annoy
ing, notwithstanding the Increasing
.vigilance with which they are being
watched; and especially vicious are
those cases of violation in which resi
dents of other states come into our
commonwealth for purposes of amuse
ment and despoil It, contrary to law, of
game nnd fish, natural resources that
yield only too readily to attack, and
when gone are with dlfllculty replaced.
The fact that n former attorney gen
eral of the United States has been re
tained to defend the defendants in the
prosecution in point assures that the
trial will be thorough and the lessons
of It called widely to the public's at
tention. Germany again rises to explain that
site prefers cash to real estate in set
tlement of Venezuelan claims. There
Is no need to worry over Germany's in
tentions. Isthmian Canal Prospects.
IT IS KVIDENT that the transcon
tinental railroads are not yet
going to give up, without a
struggle, to the inevitable isth
mian canal. No one now openly op
posed the canal but an equal purpose
will bo served If a dispute can bestirred
up over the selection of a route.
When the latest canal commission
compared the Nicaragua and Panama
routes It declared its preference for the
former. One of Its reasons was that
the Panama Canal company wanted
$109,000,000 for property that the com
mission appraised at $3G,000,000. Since
then it has been stated that the Pan
ama company will sell for $40,000,000.
This new price would make the cost of
completing the Panama cnnnl actually
$5,630,704 less than that of constructing
the Nicaragua canal. Since tho esti
mated annual cost of maintaining and
operating the Nicaragua canal Is
$1,300,000 greater than the correspond
ing charges for the Panama cunal, by
playing one route against the other,
the transcontinental railroads have a
beautiful chance to secure more delay.
What has been done heretofore In
spragging actual progress is thus ex
plained by Uepresentatlve Hepburn, of
Iowa :
My committee has iiieliga(ed the .ubjett at
an isthmian canal for ten e.irs ut. At u time
when it seemed probablo that the uomrnlttcq
woultl recommend action, lia!n;r become MtintieU

the subject, brniffb in a river and haibor bill,
with a parastriph attached prcnidlnir for tho
appointment of a commi&ion to liucsliMte and
lepurt. This scheme .n suece,fully caniedout
and lias been twice repented with tarlatlum. liv
ery coimni-oion has reported in tauir of the Nica
ragua loutc nnd tic have paid out a million and
a half dollar) for imestluMtioiw that liae nut
added one important or substantial fact to our
knowledge U'Kardlr.g tl.e eaml question not
known when this )t(m of dekn was inaug
urated, Jlr. Hepburn gives frankly some ot
the details of the Jockeying in this
matter:
I.ast time thcie were tome funny piocecdlmjs
in connection with the nutter. Hie c.uul bill,
jou may icmembcr, was attached to the rher
and haibor I ill In the senate nnd win back to
the house. There w.ia confusion anion1? the op.
IKiiientA of the canal and a hasty conference 'a is
held between Speaker Recti and Chalmian llur
ton, in which the speaker notified Mr. liuvtnn
that lie must lithei' kill the canal amendment
or brim; In a new bill, Mr, llurtou asked me
if I would coi'Miit to a disagreement upon all

ference, 1 told him 1 would comldcr the prop
osition and proceeded to consult the senatnn.
Two of them, vlio Slid they would be en "he

tensH iutcicst In tlie canal bill and that lliey
should never consent to the canal umendment
ifoliiR otf. One of them actually icproaehed me
for my ulue lance to accept their assuiances, and
I lliulle did so. I iiKicrd to sending the bill to
conference aril tin' canal amendment went off In

the leport uas presented, I was on my feet d
matidiiiff iccoBnltlon in order that I mlitlil mile
n point ot order against the substitute, to which
it was susceptible, llut the speaker recognized
bcuial other gentlemen before bo icached mo
and then, when I made my point of order, bland
ly Informed me that I wa3 too lalei that the re
port, although voM'rlitf; n multitude of suhjuU,
must be treated as an cntiiety, and that by "per
mitting" debate to be hid upon other topics
I bad precluded niisclf fiom making the point
against the commission Item; aiid liter Itecd had
tlie impudeiico to come around mid with Ills sar
donic biulle twit me upon waiting until it was
too late to Intiryene with the point of older,
Nop does Mr. Hepburn take much
Block in the reported ability of tho
Panama promoters to make good their
proffered transfer of Interest In con
sideration of $10,000,000. lie says;
I saw a dispatch saying tlie secretaty of the
company was rn route 'to the United States to
make that oiler, but 1 don't know who sent it.
If genuine 1 don't know the extent of the au
thority of 850 gentlemen at the resent lutetln
of the company -to represent lhi 210,009 stock
holders, and then, what should wo buy? 'file

unlimited prohibition against its transfer, pro
elding for Its cancellation and (be forfeiture
bt all property of tho company in case un ut
jenipl should ba made to tell It to any other
jijityi pot o alo effected, but an attempt to
tell. To be sure, It U said that the government
of Colombia, would ratify a transfer to the United
States, That U probably true, in the present
conditions, but It is only a probability. Who
can ba sure that the minister authoriied to sUu
a protocol to that elfect in Washington will be
in position to put bU mine to a treaty to tarry

A Problem That Will Not Down.
IN A HPKKClt made belorc the
Church club In N'ew York city on
Monday night, as reported In
the New York Tribune, Tie v. Dr.
William ltalnsford, one of the most
popular and Influential of Munhutttin
Island's Christian pastors, uttered
some sentiments which at one period
In the world's history would have
earned martyrdom for him and which,
oven In this liberal ngc, would, In
many communities, end his acceptabil
ity as it minster of religion.
His theme was the community's at
titude toward the saloon. Ho was con
sidering by what means1, church peo
ple, nnd more especially, we suppose.
Protestant church people, In a city
like Now York, with Its many social
problems and contrasts, could arrive at
a more sympathetic and useful basis
of understanding with the hundreds of
thousands who, for purposes of dis
tinction, may be called the saloon
people. The men he was addressing
belong to n class who seldom or never
go Into Faloons, and he said to them,
among other unorthodox things:
"The first thing you would learn if
you went there is that the saloon is a
most extraordinary Institution, and It
has come to stay. Any man who
speaks of wiping it out I have no time
to argue with. He does not face facts.
It is not simply an evil place. It Is a
positive need in a city of no-homo
people. The man without a home goes
to the saloon because he can get more
for live cents there than anywhere
else. It is an institution that pro
foundly affects hundreds of thousands
of people In the city of New York. The
saloon has gradually taken a hold on
the people and you can't suddenly up
root it.
"There is a common cry today that
those who 'would open the saloon on
Sunday attack the Christian Sabbath.
I don't know any statement that seems
to me so absolutely foundationless as
that. You. can't find a workingman
who wouldn't laugh at that statement.
We would be fortunate if we could
get the rich people of Now York to
keep the Sabbath as well as the work
ingman does. What he wants Is to b
left to go his own way. You need not
have any fear that the American Sun
day Is going down. The more our fac
tories operate and the more our cotton
gins roar every year, the more tho
working people respect the Sabbath.
As a question In rest It 5s settled. Tho
question of liberalizing the laws is not
one to be easily dealt with, but if I had
power by raising my finger to produce
changes In this city, one of the llrst
changes T would make and I would
do everything I could to encourage it
is to institute a series of games on
Sunday afternoons. Vou drive people
to drink because Sunday is such a slow
day. You can't do anything better for
your bodies and narrow chests than to
get out on a Sunday afternoon and
exercise. I would have u great play
ground, and I, as a Christian minis
ter, would use my time and money to
take the people there. Tlie question is
whether liquor Is going to be sold
unlawfully all the time and lawfully
part of the time, or lawfully all the
time."
Dr. ltalnsford said much more to a
&lmllar effect, and Bishop Potter, who
also spoke, agreed with him, Just
where this kind of argument will lend
cannot clearly be foreseen. At piesent,
It seems assured that hope of securing
local option for Now York must bo
abandoned. It has also been an
nounced that the new commissioner of
police for New York, Colonel Part
ridge, favors a liberal Interpretation of
tho liquor laws, "or," In the language
of the Sun, "that saloons known to be
trustworthy ns to character and man
ner of conducting business shall ba
enabled to sell on Sunday under tho
present law. Putting It bluntly, on
Sunday the liquor law Is to bo olll
elully labelled 'blue,' and openly rele
gated to the lumber rom for statutes
that are practically disregarded." That
such n progiammo will linlte sharp
criticism Is Inevitable; but thu charac
ter and inmibeis of those who are
pledged to its support as presenting
the only alternative to a return of
Tammany rule, prevent Its being dis
missed lightly from consideration.
The WIIUes-Bnrro Times celuhraten
tho now year by reducing its price to
ono cent. The Times Is an excellent
representative, of Inland journalistic:
enterprise, and will no doubt uchlovo
even sfenter results under, the now
rates.

GENERAL GRANT'S RETREAT.
Speaking of nightsticks, rrmiwls me of seeing
Oencr.lI (.rant in bi, to my mind, gieatest hour,
the only time he wan cut beaten, nnd by a
policeman. I told his son, Fred Cirant, of U
when he became a polite commUsioner in the
nineties, but I do not think he appieclatcd it.
He was not cast in his great father's mold. Tlie
occasion I lefer to wa after the genpial'K second
trim in the presidency. He was slaying at the
I'ifth Atcnue hotel, when one morning the
Masonic temple was burned. The fire line was
di awn halfway down the block toward Fifth ace
line, but the police were much hamjieretl by tho
crowd, and were out of patience when 1, stand
ing by, saw a man In a trie.it ulster with head
buiied ilic1;) in the collar, .1 cigar sticking
straight out, coming clown the stieet from the
hotel. I recognized him at sight as General
(rant. The policeman who blocked his way did
not, lie giabbcd him by the collar, swung Iilm
about, and, hitting him .1 lesounding whack
acioss tho back with his club, yelled out:
"What's the matter with jour Don't jou see
(he fire line.s? Chase jouiself out of hero, and
bo quick about it."
The genual said never a woul. Ho did not
slop to aiguc the matter. He had run up against
u sentinel, and when stopped went the other
way. That was nil. The man hud a right to bo
thcie; lie had none. 1 was netcr to much of an
admlicr of (iraut as since tint diy. it was true
greatness A smaller man would i,io made a
low, stood upon his dignity, and demanded tho
punishment of the policemin. As for Iiini, there
was pioliablv ueter so bully fiightened .1 police
man when I told him whom he hid clubbed. I
will waiiant he did not sleep for a week, fearing
all kindi of things. No need of it. Ciiant prob
ably never gate liim a thought. Jacob ltills in
