The new year with its possibilities and re-
spousibilties is upon US. The old year Win
its record of joys and SORROWS, triumphs and
defeats advers;ties and prosperities will soon oe
among 'the days that were" To many OF US,
1888 has flown by on the wings of unailoyed
pleasure and unclouded prosperity, and th's
season only maks the joyous ending Of year
of blessings unmxed. Sickness. misfortune
and death may have been constant intruders
into other family circles, .and to these the ho'i-
day season may be only the siver lining to the
sable cloud. In the lives of Others, the present
year has brought alternating sunshine and
storm. But to all, 1ss. is as yet an unr.vealed
mystery, an unwritten scroll, a future pregnant
with unsslved possibilities.
As we stand on the threshold Of the new
year it is indeed fitting that we should SUN up
the experience of 1888, inwardly digest II and
prepare to use it as weapon of defense in our
struggle with the great problem of ''life, and
how to live it. - The more or less carefully
we do this, by just so much the more or less
completely will we be equipped for the surprises
and disappointments of 1884. We cannot shape
future for ourselves, but if experience and
cool Judgment are the helmsmen of our lives
and the golden rule our gui ling star, we Will
be in little danger of shipwreck. May the ne"
year open brightly for all our patrons and may
gentle brcezes watt their barks over smooth
waters into havens of happiness and prosperity.

the council by the apostolic delegate who re-
presents the Pope, in order tina; much OF the
preliminary work may lie considered in ad-

Don't Ask II.
In speaking Of he assignment of the Mary
land members on the House committees, recent
ly made public, The Baltimore Sun Gays that
Mr. Holton being placed on the committee on
Public Buildings and Grounds can use his
ability and energy TO secure public buildings
for Ellicott City, Laurel and Port Tobacco, and
other aspiring communities in this district.
We o. Port Tobacco have never desired or asked
Mr. Holton to exert himself in our behalf ia
this matter, nor do we ask the general govern
ment for aid in behalf Of any public building
we may see 6t to erect. The ground for this
rumor eminated from the brilliant and pat ro-
tic flow of eloquence of Mr.. s. Cornelius Norris,
who in speech in be half Of Mr.. Holton during
his congrt ssional canvass, said that if Mr.. h.
was elected be would use his efforts 10 have the
''pile of old bricks and mortar" (alluding TO
our ancient Court House) removed from Port
Tobacco TO La Plata. But at the election en-
sue.ng the people of Charles county decided
that they did net care to have the pile of old
bricks and mortar" removed, and that the 30, d
bricks and mortar" we're ample sufficient and
that PorI Tobacco was good enough place for
them. So Mr.. Holton can use bis ability and
rne,g gy in behalf Of some other aspiring com.
munity.
