ANOTHER mile.post ON the journey Of lite
is passed, another link added to the mystic
chain that stretches out from the shores of
time towards eternity. The feeble old man
with hour glass and scythe, and gray with
many harvests, has gathered another sheaf
another year, with it's pleasures and pans,
its deeds and misdeeds, its hopes and fears,
its good and evil, has gone over to the past.
What it has been to the great world we care
but little. TO the little world about us-to
Nontana-it has been fruitful. Every de-
partment OF business, every branch of indus
try, has %prospered. Our mines, more fully
developed, yield larger and more steady
revenues our stock interests are buoyed up
by u steady demand. while throughout our
valleys our farmers enjoy the blessing OF
well-flled granaries. But though the coun-
try is generally prosperous, few, perhaps,
have realized all their hopes, or even all the
dead year seemed to promise when fresh
and green with youth. But though 1t hur-
led away like thousands of others gone be-
fore, leaving promises uniulfilled, labors
half completed, and others not yet begun.
hope dieth not, but springs forth fresh again
as New Year returns, and we build again
our fairy castles.
The departed year has been to the HUs-
'BANDMAN a year of prosperity, and though
1t has been fraught with toll and great anx-
iety, it has written success upon odr banner,
leaving only to its successors the question
of how great a success it shall attain. The
encouragement coming in from every quar-
ter, the kind words of welcome wherever
we 60, assures lis that the midnight lamp Is
not burned i'm vain-in its own good time
the harvest will come. In the new year, as
in the old, we shall press onward. leaving
nothing possible undone to add to the at
Effectiveness, and increase the value of our
journal, hoping to be rewarded by the same
generous and hearty support.

If liars may be judged by the character
of their work, the republicans can boast
some extremely vulgar specimens in this
town. Among the stories that have been
circulated among the Russian. German or
Mennonite population, two will serve as
specimens, 1st. That if Mr.. Tr!pp is elected
their bibles will be taken away from them ;
"a, That If be is elected, their schools will
he abolished. Herald.
Several representative Germans authorize
us to brand the foregoing extract as a mali
cious lie. They further authorize US to
offer, IN their name, one hundred dollars
for proof that any such statement has been
made. Here is an opportunity for the dem.
ocracY to make money by substaptiating its
statements.

II shall stsnd as il has stood-kor the prin.
ciples of republicanism. The battle Of per.
sonalties has been fought. and the contend.
ing parties nov await the result Of their
work. While the democracy have in this
canvass avoided dealing ID political mat
tsrs to any great extent it hss been actuated
BY the same old principles which have
held the party together through SO many
years of the past. Policy dictated that the
obnoxious doctrines IF democracy be Gov
cred as much as possible from public gaze.
But republicans need not feel that the sue.
cess Of Trip would be anything less than
q democratic SUCCESS. Every republican
vote given to him is 80 much In the way of
aid and comfort to the enemy.

The Mennonites were not here when the
opposition 10 democratic party tried 10 ride
into power on the cry of doom with fUr.
eigners;; put none on guard but Americans"
They pledged themselves In secret mid
night conclaves that no Catholic should
hold office in the United States, and that no
foreigner should vote until he had been
here twenty-one years.-Herald.
Yet foreigners and Catholics are given
office at the hands of the republican party,
even here in u midst, and are given it
freely. The records of the past and the
present are against the assertion of the
Herald. We can bring several intelligent
foreigners and Catholics who will swear
that they are now in Office and that they
were placed there by republican influence

A strong effort is being made by parties
who are themselves in pursuit of political
preferment to break down the natural sup.
port Of the republican county ticket. vo.
tiers will remember that he who is not for
US is against US. Every man who has
placed himself before the people as an OPP
ponent of any nominee of the republican
party is q democrat to all intents and pur.
poses. Without hope of an election him
self he conspires to defeat regular repusli-
can nominees and aid in the election of
regular democratic nominees.

The Herald remarks that it is the duty of
every democratic voter to b at tho polls
