THURSDAY, DEC. 70, 1881.
! 3 8 l..


Tho year eighteen hundred and
eighty one is about to bow itself out
and take its place with Others OF the
past. .
So far as America is concerned. it
will Do remembered on account OF
very little that has been agreeable or
beneficial to her. while like the same
year two decades back, it will be re-
membered on account OF great deal
that has been troublous and dlsadvan-
tageous. :.
Like the gaunt spectre Of tho civil
war rises to alright tho memory OF
81, 80 will rise the foul spirit OF as
ssssinatio to make accursed the rec
objection Of 81.
While the curse of Error has marked
this year and no special blessing Of
Truth has been vouchsa:ed to cance'
in part the stigma thus placed upon
81, 1t has not been more generously
dealt with BY nature and nature 3
Laws, to which we are not privileged
to assign = possibility Of truth or er-
ror, but must accept as impartial un
changeable and not subject to the
warfare that exists between the Right
and Wrong, the True and the False.
Good and Evil.
Extreme heat and extreme cold
hoods and drought and their natural
sequence Of short crops and forest fires
have prominent place in the record
Of 81 and will add their quota Of
nisfortunes to this year in America.
To the citizen, of our country. the
memory Of the dying year will come
back, hallowed by few green spots
while by patriots it will be held
Aecursed, by many a victim OF hood
and fame it will be remembered as
their homes destroyer and the fruga
husbapdman will think Of it most re-
gretful!y as that in which scores OF
cattle were sacrificed for lack OF pas
ture and provender and in which
shortage in crops was not counteroal
anced by an advance in prices.
To the citizens Of our town, it's rec
election will come neither specially
hlotted or blessed; as year Of aver
age prosperity and activity, account
ing for nothing to lis disadvantage
and come positive good done.
To the CLARION it has been a year
Of satisfactory, not to say hatter'ng
prosperity. AS rule, its readers
have expressed themselves satisfied,
even pleased. while We are JuStlned IN
speaking in unbounded praise of the
liberality Of its friends in their pa
tronage Of the other departments OF
the office, job and advertising.
The CLARION has therefore. speak
ing for the town and itself, no quarrel
with 81, but will be privileged to
recall it as one fraught, rather with
favors than disadvantages and may
part with it as with the best Of friends,
which we do, trusting that it may,
with all Of it's unfortunate dies lrae.
be charitably received into the family
of nyriads Past.

CHICAGO, March 23.-General Pas
senger Agent White, Of the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad, intimates
to the Union Pacific officials that trou-
BILE may result from the efforts Of the
latter to secure a reduction Of passenger
rates from Chicago to San Francisco, so
that the rate over the Union Pacific
shall not exceed that by the Santa Fe
road because the rate from Chicago to
Kansas City is cheaper by reason of the
railroad war than that to Omaha. A
lively war of rates between here and
San Francisco is among the possibilities.

The word "Boer," as applied to the
white settlers of Transvaal, in South
Africa, is Danish, and the equivalent OF
tinhabitant." The Beers are of purely
Holland Dutch origin, and they have
been in South Africa for nearly cen
fury. Outside of Capetown more than
tWo-t thirds of the white population are
of this class, and less than one-third
English. They are industrious, frugal,
religious, and to everybody but an
Engiishman, extremely hospitable.
Their social condition is that Of sshack-
wood" independence, which character
lied the people Of our Western States
forty or fifty years ago. They are ear
nest, patriotic and brave, and the way
they have been beating the English
troops of late shows that they can ard
will fight for their rights.
A NEW GAME.-Under this head the
politics in Eureka:
Information has reached us that the
officers of Eureka county have put up
what is vUlgaTly termed q COB" to
have the Salary law declared unconsti
tutional, and viii so arrange it that only
one side of the question will be present
ed to Judge Rives, of the Seventh Ju-
:. - - 81 L. 4oI 10
allow his imagination such scope that
his decision will be in favor Of the Oil
ci.ls. 1t will be to the interest Of the
taxpayers of Eureka to see that this
little game is blocked. The Commits
sioners should properly defend the suit,
but we can have but slight faith III the
Board of Eureka, which is the only one
in the State so Wiifully vicious as to al
low its own members mileage, more es-
pecially after their salary had been
increased from 5000 to 5000 per annum.
A COMPETITIVE POINT.-Thc tele
graph brings the cheering news that
there is likely to be a war of rates be-
tween the Union Pacific and the Santa |
Fee railroads, and that when the
fight begins it is likely to be of the
liveliest character. This will result in |
cheap rates for the Pacific coast and |
make the west one of those delightful |
spots characterized by Steve Gage as
a "competitive point" 1t is not an as
sured thing, however, that Nevada will
be benefited by this programme. CAL
ifornsa Will reap the reward and if the
Central Pacific chooses to still keep Ne
vada in the rut there is no help for it.
The Enterprise accuses the Carson pa
pers of having CAKES to grind" During
the last campaign the people Of Ne
vada waited day by day to see the
grind its battle ak, walk into
the heat Of the fight and heW down
some Of the enemy. 1t preferred to let
TX rust in the corner, and did not even
70 much as a protest against the whole
,ale purchase of Democratic votes which
elected majority of the last legislature.
Yet the same journal fornulates the

n CHANGES.

Some idea Of the enormous amount of
money that changes hands in the metrop-
oils during the course Of the year may
be gathered from the statement made at
the annual meeting Of the Clearing
house Association, in which it is shown
that the total transactions of the Clear
n g-house, since its organization, %
years ago. amount to 1925, l9l, $50. 476 81.
The total transactions for the last fiscal
year were $50, BAL. 1876. 1873 50, or $ll,-
64S, 2e9, l2l 40 greater than in any pre-
vious year. These figures are irrefutable
indices Of the great commercial pros
perity Of the metropolis. They show,
too, that a large amount OF money has
been in circulation, and that the whole
bulk of business has been in every way
satisfactory.
