g. TIE Montgomery advertiser, speaking
of the terrible railroad disaster at Harpeth
river bridge last week, uses the following
strong and concise language:
"If the Jury have returned verdict in ac-
cordance with the facts of the case and we have
no earthly reason to doubt that they have, this
Harpeth river tragedy is nothing more nor less
than a wholesale murder for which somebody
ought to hang-and until we can have one or
two hangings on account of the criminal care
lessness or neglect of those whose business it is
to provide against railroad and other accidents
on public conyeyances, we may confidently ex-
pect to hear every week or two of the recur-
renee of just such scenes as that which sickened

rg SENATOR TRUMBULL was the orator of
the Fourth at Galesburg, Illinois, and
made speech which comes very near
placing him among the advocates of wo-
mans rights. He is reported as having
expressed himself decidedly in favor of the
elevation of women, and hoped the day
was not distant when women would re-
ceive the same pay for the same service as
men. n The Senator further declared his
conviction that the right of women to par
.ticipate in the government of the country
whenever they ask for it, can not be de-
MED, and the nation would be all the better
and purer for their participation.
When we take into consideration the
conservative tendencies of Senator Trum-
bull and the caution which always attends
tie expression of his opinions, his Ian
guage as reported is significant.

This just suits Tennie and progressive fe-

how they get it. A notice, complimentary
or otherwise, is all the same to them, just

CHRIsTMAs.-The manner IN which
this holiday was kept by the quiet citl-
zens of this remarkably quiet village
was rather unusual. Long before SEN
sible folks are accustomed, to rise, the
streets were alive with boys making
all kind of unearthly noise such as
trying to chan mass by screaming the
tenor, yelling the soprano and bring
ing up the base with blunderbusses,
horse pistols and fire crackers. About
daybreak they began TO calm down
and we Thought of beggars and hand
organs. Nothing but christmas Gift"

ligious services were held during day
except eating turkey.

THE wear is at an end and we LOOK
back surprised a little at its history
DRYDEN once remarked that he did not
regret what he had done, but What he
might have done, and thus we say,
We do not regret the progress the world
has made during the year, but what IT
might have made. Our farmers have
reason to be thankful for the results
that have crowned their labors. Rich
harvests, favorable weather, and moder-
ately good markets, no laeksof help, no
stringencyin the supply ofmoneya float,
gradual reduction in the price Of articles
of wear and of food not produced at
home, and strong hopes that. oppressive
local taxation must soon be greatly re-
duced-aIl these thing can be entered
ON the credit side of the farmers ledger.
Merchants and mechanics whose inter
ests are closely allied to those ofthe soil
tillers, have no reason to complain, al
though no. remarkable rush has been
made upon them. The restoration OF
peace in France and the establishment
Of a republican government, the mark
ed growth of republicanisfn in Eng
land, the satisfactory adjustment OF our
difficulties with the last named country,
the movement for the freedom ofsthe
Brazilian slaves, and the unprecedented
success of the citizens of our country in
crushing the rings of corruption anu
dishonesty that destroy our faith In
selfgovernment, are a few OF the
worlds progressive steps. 1t has also
beena year of calamities.- Pestilence
has rioted in many Of the countries OF
the Orient, and upon our own shores,
the dread disease has been planted.
While disease has been revel-
ing among the inhabitants ofthe East,
the purifying element as if to keep up
a balance, has been reYeling among the
homes of men in the West.
