THE NEW YEAR,

While i'll this prosperous, happy land
the New Year dawns amid peace and
plenty, it begins with hopes of peace unre-
allied in France desolated by hostile ar
mics, and in Germany filled with the
grief Of new made widows and orphans.
1t cannot we'll be rs pregnant with events
mighty TO them as the one just closed, for
unless new complications arise, peace can
not be long delayed, and another war as
gigantic or decisive as this will not likely
come so soon as within the tweIyemOnth,
which is to-day ushered in.
In our own land the year ended has not
been marked by any unusual events. 1t
has been but one of the sands in the great
year glass of time. With it has ended the
three score and tenth year of the nine
tenth century. With to-day we begin a
new one, and we hope it may prove to us
as a people and to each and all of our read
ers one of prosperity and real happiness.
The day is appropriately one of self exami-
nation, one OH which the balance sheet of
experiences is cast. With the light of the
past to assist us we ought to reach its close
Irsuch a privilege is accorded us, wiser and
better men and women. The day has its
observances, and one of them we recognize
with pleasure-it is to extend to our
friends our hearty wishes for {, Happy

THE CITY SCHOOL PROJECT.

Upon the proposition submitted by the
Board of Aldermen, to levy a. tax of one
mill upon the taxable property of the city,
none bit property holders or lease holders
toy one gear will be allowed TO vote. This
makes it necessary that the friends of the
school cause should be active and industri-
Gus, to the end that the opponents of the
measure, who comprise some of the large
taxpayers of the city, may not defeat it,
We have read with pleasure the report of
the committee, which is published else
where, and are glad that they so clearly
and forcibly present some of the reasons
why we should have public schools in the
city. 1t IS not our purpose now to elabO
rate these reasons, but more particularly
to urge upon the free school friends the
necessity of union and action. Strange as
it may appear, it is nevertheless true that
there are intelligent, christian men of high
position in the city, not only opposed to
this particular measure, but opposed to
general education upon any basis; men who
say that it ''would destroy that healthful
distinction between the classes which has
and renown to the ehivalry of the South;''
men who believes that il 'systematizes
and encourages the growth of vice.; men
who believe that AS property ought not to
be taxed to educate BIS Children There
is, also powerful religious element that
upon every occasion and in every form, Bit
terly opposes public schools, because they
believe them inimieal to their particular
church doctrines There are also, men of 7
wealth too penurious and illiberal to tavor
any tax not levied for their personal bene-
fit. There are, also, men who profess 10 DE
school men, who would favoxs system OF
detached independent schools, managed
without any system. Supported by them,
and known as Hseifscbools--ch schools
in the true sense. JElese are the classes
arrayed against die proposition now before
the people. g.:
tbigsJstem pro- osed is the best system that ,
.oald be projected: whether the tax is suf- :
icient: or whether higher tax is not, in
he end, the most economical. 1t is the t
est ne can nosC get, and recognizing the t
Orce anu appilcauliity OF The well known Q
dage, "a half loaf is better than no loaf,n f
re say let every friend of public schools
ally to the measure submitted and cor a
tally and heartily work for its adoption.
We cannot afford divisions in our ranks
pom questions OF detail. The enemy is !,
giIant and united and must be met with u

WE learn from our exchanges of the
points of disagreement between Judges
Emmons and Trigg, in the United States
Circuit Court at Memphis, on the trial of
Judge James d. Porter Jr., of Henry
county, charged with holding office in VIC
lation of the J4th Amendment.
Upon the first three points we infer
Judge Emmons held the affirmative and
Judge Trigg the negative Upon their
certificate of division, the case goes to the
supreme Court of the United States. The
other cases of this kind in other divisions.
it is said, will await decision in this case.
The points of division are:
i. Are the 14th and 18th sections of the
act of 22d of May, 1870, appropriate leg
slation," as contemplated in section : of
18th article of Amendment to the Consfi-
ution?
= Can the defendant be held to answer
or acts of instruction or rebellion. COM
nItted prior to the adoption of said article
If amendments to the Constitution and
aid act of Congress?
3. Can the United States INQUIRE into
he validity of the election of Judge of
he State of Tennessee, who had been
uly elected, commissioned and quail
ed?
4. The effect of the Executive pardon
ccepted by defendant in September,

THE LARGEST CIRCULATION

WE invite the attention of our readers
who want to know where Mayor Van Gil
der stands on the school question to Col.
Mariners card. His proposition was GER
tainly manly and honorable, and Mr.. Van
Gilder's refusal conclusive. A man who
refuses to say in writing where he stands
on such an important question, under the
issues of this canvass, ought not to be
Mayor. We think every straightforward
man will now be satisfied that he is dOdg-
ing, and no amount OF explanation can
make them feel otherwise.
OUR Board of Alderman spent during
the year now near all end, for the police
force, Sc, 600. The same Board now offer
to raise for city school purposes what viii
net about $500. Could not our worthy
officials have dispensed with about three
or four of the uniformed gentry who now
stroll about our streets and spend the
amount thus saved in educating the little
urchins whose idleness and vagrancy on
the streets tax the energies and time of our
guardian angels with blue coats and stars =?
1t seems to us $4,000 for police force in
this city is about $1,000 too much, as COM
pared with the sum now proposed to appro-
pirate for schools.

Corn FOR NEwspApER.-Several news

exchange their papers for corn, taking one
grain of corn for the first number of the
paper, and doubling on every number until
the end of the volume, (6fty-two numbers }
4 correspondent of the Kansas City Times
has made calculation. and here is what
he says:
1t would take eleven numbers to make
1924 grains, which we will allow for one
quart. Sixteen numbers would make a
bushcl, then comes the expensive numbers,
resulting in the last number costing four.
teen billion, one hundred and nincty-four

twenty nine billion, five hundred and thir-
ty-one million, five hundred and fifty-nine
thousand, six hundred and eighty, eight
bushels of corn, or if ten states as large as
the State of Missouri, with every acre
planted and they should produce fifty

tire yield to pay years subscription.

Which is Why we Remark"

The Vancouver Register of July 9th
says:
The valleys of the Klikitat and Yaki.
ma are ovcrrun with stock. Without an
increased demand from abroad for our sur
plus. beef is likely to become a drug in
the market. Would not our up-country
friends do we'll by paying little more at
tention to wool growing. A mixed pro-
duction is what is needed
y gentleman who lives over the river in
forms US that there is still room enough in
the Klikitat aud Yakima Valleys for all
the stock in Clarke county and some to
spare for the Sound counties. The twenty
or thirty families of Clarke county that are
preparing to move to this side Of the
Mountains, will be as mere " drop in the
bucket" " towards filling up this immense
country. The Register seems also fearful
that beef will become drug in the mar
ket. There is no danger of this, neighbor,
at least not for some years to come, for at
the present time beef cattle are very scarce
and prices high The building of the
Northern Pacific Railroad will increase the
demand sufficient to consume all the sur.
lus for years to come. After the compile,
tion of the railroad we will then have the
advantages of market both with the East
and West. We would say to our stock
raisers, don't get discouraged for fear that
the business is going to be Overdone, for
from the very nature of the present condi-
ton of things, it is impossible.
In reply to the latter clause of this par
agraph, we will state for the interest of all
concerned, that there are number of large
bands Of sheep now grazing on the hills of
klikitat county. Only few days ago
Messrs Mitchell, Waldron Il Nye drove
their flock to the north side of the river.
Our advice to the old settlers Of the
counties down by the sea J" is, if they
wish to engage in cattle raising or wool
growing, this is the country to do it aud
now is the time to come. You can selec:
your ranch from a county ranging from a
about nine hundred miles north aud south
(and if you wish to 90 into British Colum-
bia, about as much further north) and
about one thousand miles from east to west.
This immense extent Of country is covered
with the world renowned bunch grass, aud
what may appear very strange to many,
cattle are wintercd nine hundred miles
north of the Dalles with less risk and ex-
pensc than in this locality. so come
along, make no delay, and bring your cat
tie horses and sheep, and we will insure
you heath, WEALTH and large FAMILY

ESg~': \ New York Wholesale grocer, who
has become rich in his business, has lately
made the following revelation. He says
his rule always was, when he sold bill Of
goods on credit, to Immediately subscribe
for the local paper of his debtor. So long
as his customer advertised literally and
vigorously, he rested easy, but as soon as
he began to contract his advertising space,
he took the fact as an evidence that there
was trouble ahead, aud he invariably went
for his debt. For said he, the man
who feels too poor to make his business
known is too poor to do business The

THE NATIONAL DEBT REDUCED TO
MINuTEs.-Some ingenious mathematician
has computed the matter, and has dis
covered that our national debt, in dollars,
is nearly equal to the minutes which have
elapsed since the creation. Here are his
figures:
For example: There are sixty minutes
in an hour, twenty four hours in day and
night, 3G5 days and nights in year--each
year 52o 900 minutes, multiply this latter
sum by 5000, the period of the earth's re-
puted existence, and we have:
Minutes since the creation........3, SO 900, 900
Federal 700 ,OOo,oOo
Add to the latter sum intrest on the
public debt, and cost per year of profit
gate government, and We find that for
every minute of time since the world. came
fresh from the hand of God, the United
States owes dollar-a dollar for each
