one now to be pointed out the way
in which he should walk in the baau-
ty of the new year? But alas the
many slippery places !
Easter than petals fall on windy days
From ruined roses,
| Hope after hope falls luttering and de-
Gays
Ere the year closes
For little hopes, that open but to die,
And little pleasures,
Divide the long, sad year, that labors b.,
Into short measures.
Yes, let them 60 our day-llved hopes
are not
The life we cherish
Love lives, till disappointments are forgot,
And sorrows perish,
On withered boughs, where still the old
leaf clings,
New leaves come never;
And in the heart, where hope hangs faded
springs
No new sndeavor."

Our Sin Finding Us Out.

Nations, like individuals, can not
throw off a bad character, because of
an occasion in which they need a good
Doubtless President Garfield and Sec
retary Blaine felt as philanthropic as
they wrote to Mexico, about her al
legged territorial appropriation in Qua
temala. Probably both of them
thought our. war on Mexico utterly
wrong, and, therefore, had personal
feeling that they were innocent. But
Mexico could not separate the admin
istration from the nation, therefore,
our professions of disinterestedness
and of high moral principle with re-
gard to one republic taking territory
from another republic, must have
seemed to her an -impudent artful
dodge.
In such light Of present interest we
may take juster view of our war on
Mexico, which had no pretense of
right, and lacked no element of wrong
full robbery. In the first place Amer
lean filibusters had raised rebellion
in Texas, and had effected the seces-
sion and independence Of that State.
An adventure which Jefferson made
treason in Aaron Burr had now be-
come our Democratic manifest desti-
ny. Then the United States finished
that part of the game by annexing
Texas. This was done in profigate
manner, leaving to Texas all the pub
lie lands. assuming her debt, and pay
ing her $10,0O0,OOO for sham claim
she set up on New Mexico.
Itwas in the nature Of poetical JUS
tice that Texas seeded from our
Union. Mexico had to submit to all
this robbery, and then, on top of all
this, we made an aggressive war. The
southern boundary of Texas was the
river Nueces, but Texas now set up a
claim to the country to the Rio
Grande The administration adopted
this, and without negotiation or talk
of arbitration ordered our troops into
the territory thus claimed. When
they entered it they found all the
towns and villages peacefully under
the Mexican organization and Mexi-
can laws, which had never been dis
turbed.
The conclusion of this war took
from Mexico California, Arizona, and
New Mexico, in addition to Texas and
the country between the Nueces and
the Rio Grande. The war and these
acquisitions were glorious, but they
were nothing more than piracy. Can
it be supposed that Mexico did not
feel this, and that the iron of this
wrong by SISTER republic" did not
sink into her soul? What must he1
public men think when our govern
ment breaches to Mexico the moral
law that one republic may not take
the territory of another republic
Are they not worthy of praise fol
their forbearance in omitting the pal
pable retort to all this preaching from
a hardened, full handed land pirate

1.-THE Great West.l
Saloon Licenses.

In Omaha the temperance element
has such control that the city now de-
mands $1,000 for a license to sell Ii
liquors. A large number of saloon
keepers have paid this fee in advance,
and are now under the full protection
of the city authorities. The effort of
the temperance men in Omaha appears
to be to create liquor-selling aristoc-
racy; to deprive poor men of the priv
ilege of selling, and thus to dignity
the business to the fullest possible ex-
tent.
1t does seem to us that the temper
ance element does not understand hu-
man nature, and the religious element
is far out of the way when it is willing
to set price on Christ-in other
words, to indorse and vote for the le-
galization, for cash, of a traffic it de-
clares to be wrong.
Had we absolute power to enact
laws, we should prohibit the manu-
facture and the importation of liquors
in this country, or would permit all to
make and all to sell. There would be
no licensing any person to do what
we considered wrong. We should not
create revenue for the support of an
untaxed aristocracy ut the expense of
those who have bad habits, nor en-
courage the taking on of bad habits in
order to support an untaxed aristoc-
racy.
If liquor selling is wrong in itself,
those who license it are still more so.
Plasters made Of dollars and dimes
may satisfy the consciences of some,
but they are a sorry offering to justice
In Omaha, for instance, the effort does
not appear to have been to wipe out q
plague, but to put its distribution il
the hands Of the rich who have infiu-
ence, and who now can call upon the
city to protect them to the full il
their rights thus acquired. Thus
were we a liquor seller III Omaha, ant
had for license to sell liquor a yea
paid $1,000, we should demand of tn
city protection in our line Of bushes
from all who had not thus paid for
privilege, and in case even one persol
was permitted to sell without license

COLLEGE officers will learn by and
by that there is no other method so
effectual to put stop to hazing as to
let the state or municipal law do the
work, whenever such law is broken.
Here is an excellent example set at
Princeton, college which is excelled
by none in the amount of rowdyism,
and which excels all in its boasts that
there is none. In this case a crowd
of freshmen, quite innocent boys, they
say, but led astray by one or two
wicked Juniors, went bowling through
the streets Of their little city, smash
ing all the street-lamps. The solitary
policeman whom the municipality
provides was unable to stop the dis
turbance, but succeeded in learning
who their innocences were, and the
mayor had them arrested. Their
names were published, to their own
disgrace and that of their parents, in
the daily newspapers, and they were
fined, with sound lecture from the
Judge and warning that further
offense would be more severely treat
ed. Leniency was, perhaps, proper
this time; but we fear that such crimes
cannot be easily stopped entirely ex-
cept by putting the offender in prison.
A few such sentences would make it
as disgraceful for coflegian to COM
NIT an assault or to do malicious mis-
chief as it is for ordinary citizens.
We are glad to see that President
McCosh has heartily approved of the
action of the city authorities.

Take a fence away from a garden,
and it soon becomes a cheap waste.
Tear the license system away so that
all can sell, and loafers generally will
engage in the business-will drive de-
cent men out of the trade, and in a
short time bring the business down to
its exact level, so that they would
shun those who handed out the bottle
to their neighbors. License rag-pick-
ing or junk gathering, and by legisla-
tion these avocations are dignified.
License any evil. and from that mo-
ment it is the duty of the law, that is,
of citizens who are Lawmakers, to
stand as guard between the business
thus licensed and harm.
Abolish all efforts to raise revenue
from the sale Of liquors or tobacco.
There is no more reason why tobacco
should be taxed than for the taxing of
apples, green or dry.
The only excuse for licensing the
sale of liquors is that it is wrong,
and therefore should pay revenue to
that which assumes to be right! Let
all or let none sell liquors. Then
hold those who sell poisons of any
kind responsible to the fullest extent
for the results following their sales,
and you will begin to attack an evil
where it will be hurt.
