The New Year.

The Chief wishes all its readers happy New
Year. 1t has few Subscribers whom it has had
the pleasure Of wishing twenty-five successive
New Years.
As for the Chief itself, it enters upon the New
Year with better prospects than any former one.
We have had to send out fewer bills, at the
close of the year, than ever before, and have
fewer bad customers The end Of the year is a
time when newspapers usually encounter nnni-
Der of discOntinuaDces from subscribers. Ihi'
time, we have had less than half dozen; while
in the last two weeks, we have received at least
five times a, many new subscribers as at the be-
ginning of any former year. So that the Chic'
has no cause to complain.
The Chief does not pretend to give as mneh
reading as the large city weeklies, made mp Of
matter from the daily, and sold at a nominal
price but IL does give large amount OF gener-
al reading, and a great deal that the people oil
the County want to know, and cannot find in
any city paper.
II gives you local gossip from every part Of
the County. While mnch of this seems trivial
to many. to others il possesses interest.
IL tells you when the County Board and the
District Court will meet, and gives list of ju-
rors and the Bar Docket for each term Of Court.
1t gives a report of the proceedings of the
County Board, and of the disposition of every
case in the District Court.
1t gives, each month, n list Of the transfers OF
real estate In the County, and the price paid for
each piece of property.
II tells yen when the State school money Is
received and ready for distribution, and the
amount to which each school district is entitled.
At the beginning ofeach year, it gives you
list Of the teachers employed in the several dis
tricts of the County, and a list Of the marriage
licenses issued from the Probate Court during
the preceding year.
1t gives an official table Of the vote of the
County at every election, and list of the Off
cers elected in the several Townships, at the To-
cal elections.
1t gives you a large amount Of official matter,
such rs road notices; notices when taxes are
due, and the amount of each levy; notices Of de-
linquent tax sales, and of the time when lands
sold for taxes required TO be redeemed; no.
tices of Sheriff's sales, appointment of Admins
traitors of deceased persons, and of final settle
meDt OF estates; and vast amount of other
matter Of a legal nature.
In short, it gives information which is worth
many dollars 10 every resident in the County,
and which they obtain in no other way.
Hoping that, at the end of the year, every
subscriber of the Chief will feel that he has val
ne received, we again wish all happy New
Year.

e The sth of January, the great Democratic
holiday, like the great holiday of Christian peo-
pie, this year comes on Sunday. While we were
speaking of tho defunct ''time honored princi-
pies" of the Democratic party, several weeks ago,
we should have included the sth of January. In
their old-time celebrations of this day. they used
to spout about Gen. Jackson whipping the Brit
ish Mt Now Orleans. But when the Democratic
party tried to destroy the Constitution that Gen.
Jackson so stoutly defended, thousands of the
members Of that party, including many promi-
nent leaders, took refuge on British soil, under
the British flag, or tried to avoid fighting for
their country, by claiming to be subjects of Great
Britain. Therefore, the sth Of January, as
great Democratic principle, is played out.

R There is war among the Illinois Stalwarts.
The Chicago IHter-OoedH did all in its power to
make Gen. Logan Senator, and to assist him in
bulldOzing Illinois into the election of Grant
delegates, when the people were for Blaine.
Now that Guiteau's man is President, instead of
the one elected by the people, Logan has been
given control Of the Illinois patronage, and has
appointed a striker to fat Office that the editor
of the Inter Ocean wanted. The Inter Ocean is
savage upon Logan, and denounces the policy
which makes him the iadler of the soup in nli-
nois. They have got the stalwart Administra-
tion that they sighed for; let them grin and
bear il.

rF They seem to have good deal of trouble
in getting n satisfactory portrait of George FL
lot ;7-but all Of them, thus far, agree in giving
her resemblance to n hawk, or some other
bird of prey. All her novels, as far as We have
read, carry ont the oppression. She seemed to
have hatred of pretty and innocent girls, and
never failed TO destroy them, or bring them to
grief She produced character for the admi-
ration of the reader, and then destroyed her.
while the ugly, the fanatcal, or the Indifferent,
went through in peace. She destroyed beau
tiful girl in "Adam Bede," and another in "The
Mill on the Floss" while she blighted the lives
of two in "Romola." When we get time to read
more, we shall know whether she suppresses her
eamvorous nature in any of her novels.

STATE LrBRARY.-Many of the Kansas newspa.
Pers are discussing the question Of merging the
miscellaneous collection Of books in the State
Library with the collection Of the Historical So
eiety. AT meeting Of the Directors of the His
torical Society, held last June, a committee was
appointed to look after this matter and endeayor
to accomplish the object. The Judges of the Su-
preme Court are the custodians of the State Ii
brary, which is rapidly filling mp with law books,
and the miscellaneous collection is becoming of
small Importance, and is receiving but little at
tention. There are many rare aud valuable mis-
celiancous works, and it is held that the Hstor-
ical Society is the proper place for them, where
they can receive necessary care and attention
To state the matter plainly, the city of Topeka
has established public library, and has bummed
an act through the Legislature giving them the
privilege of erecting their library building on
one corner of the State House grounds 1t is be-
lieyed that design is afoot to secure the trans
fer of the miscellaneous books Of the State Libra
ry to this city library, and that the custodians
of the former are not unfriendly to the scheme,
1t seems TO us that it should require no commit
tees, no arguments, no petitions or begging, to
induce the judges to give the Historical Society
the preference. The books in the State Library
are the property of the State of Kansas. The
Historical Society is State institution, .fostered
by State aid, and governed by laws of the State.
1t has the care Of historical, art, and other col
leetions, and has right to the State books, in
preference to any local organization. We have
not seriously believed that the persons in charge
have entertained the idea or would take the re-
spOnsibility of transferring such valuable State
property from the control Of the State to that Of
an outside organization

z 1t is now generally believed that ST. John
intends calling an extra session of the Legisla-
ture. fthe apportionment bill passes, he will
make that part of his excuse for an extra ses-
sion; but he will find some pretext for it. His
prohibition law is such dead failure, that he
wants to have still more stringent laws passed,
and therefore more impractieable, and a deader
letter than the present law.

II Blaine is an awful mean man. Now that
he is out Of Office, he will not nope nor die, but
keeps worrying the politicians of the Stalwart
type. They see Internal designs in every move
that he makes. Now they are determined to
make him Presidential candidate in 1884, on
sort of Horace Greeley arrangement, to be sup
ported by Democrats and Blaine Republicans.
But the chances are that Blaine knows what he
is about, and is smart enough to take care of
himself For the last eight years, he has been
the choice of large majority of the Republi-
cans in the States that vote Republican, and
with that advantage, he can hold the fort, and
let the Stalwarts do the fixing with Democrats.
