Tines ever moving finger has checked
of another circuit on the dial whereon the
years are numbered, and the great world
stands upon the threshold of new
year. Looking back upon the
twelve month closed the believers
in the onward and upward
destiny Of humanity cannot but rejoice
over the results its limit comprised in the
betterment Of mankind. The world has
been at peace, save for the notes Of war
heard in Tunis and Egypt, but
none can deny that it was best
that the might Of France and
England was asserted, for the result
has been beneficial to the conquered, and
greater freedom and greater happiness
will be the outcome Of the struggles
waged.
The peoples Of Europe have one and all
reason to be thankful for the progress made
during 1882, for even Ireland has gained
something from her Oppressors.
Nature has been fairly generous in her
rewards of labor abroad, and the tide of
emigration TO newer lands has measurably
decreased.
But of all the peoples Of earth we Ameri-
cans have the greatest cause for gratih-
cation. The current of prosperity that
50 happily set in some years ago has lost
little of its force, and, if slackened at some
points Of its course, has been accelerated
at others. Magnificent crops have re-
warded the efforts of the tillers Of the soil,
and the great arteries Of trade
have puIsated with their wontedstrength.
In all the avenues OF commerce the busy
men of the mart hail the dawn of the
new year with added hOpefulness and
look forward to greater prosperity. But
it is in our political relations that we
have achieved most. The disturbances
in the social atmosphere that
were gathering during the year have Gull
minated and the skies have cleared, leav-
ing the air purer and the people buOyant
and calm. At no time within the past
decade have the people Of the sections
been in better accord than
they are to-day. The greatest
proof afforded for years of
our capacity for the task set rs by the
founders of the Republic-that Of self
government-was given at the great trial
Of parties on the 9TH of November. This
manifestation of public intelligence and
power was enough to rejOlce over, if
naught else called for satisfaction.
Georgia and Savannah alike have cause
for graduation, and the people of the En-
pire State of the South and her growing
metropolis have but to repeat the sagacity
and thrift of the past year to reap with
the aid of Providence further fruits of in
dustry.
On this, the thirty-third anniversary Of
its foundation, the NEWS salutes its
readers and invites at their hands the
continuance of the support it has received
in the past. Within the year its veteran
founder has joined the great caravan
that have jOurneyed to the bourne of
humanity. Yet, though his spirit recks
not Of earthly cares, his influence lives,
and the impress he has left on the press
of Georgia will endure, while those who
treasure his coUnsels shall direct the cur
rent of public thought.
With assurances of renewed effort to
make the NEWS an exponent of true
Southern sentiment, we wish our readers,
one and all. A Happy New Year!

The pension fraud is deservedly attract
ing the attention of the country. The
Commissioners statement that thousands
of names were added to the pension list Of
men who never served in the army, but
placed there by members Of Congress as
reward for political services, is loudly
calling for publication of the list, that the
impostors may be kicked out. And what
should be done to the members of Congress
who plunde4ed the Treasury to reward
their dirty Workers. Their names should
be published also, and we hope the in
vestigation win trace every impOstOr to
his patron statesman. 1t is gratifying to
note that the Northern press and people
have begun &c rise above the long-preyail-
Ing svcophantic iaudation and ali sacri-
ficing devotion TO the pensioners Of the
government, and are now preparing TO
ascertain who are really entitled to live
at the public expense.

Tariff revision, tag reduction and
wholesome civil service reform-these are
the subjects which statesmen DESTROYS Of
serving the country should put under
their pillows and sleep over during the
holiday recess,'' says the Philadelphia
Press. Our contemporary is addressing
Republican statesmen. 1t should not dis
count their regard for the factories, ETC.,
which you'd shut down forthwith If its
advice were needed. Its counsel as to
civil service reform need not be repeated,
as the subject has been RELOCATED to the
people, who will dispose of it efectually
in 1884.

Mr.. Conkling has at last made the great
est effort of his life, and remarkable
effort it is. 1t is no more nor less than an
attempt to stretch the fourteenth amend
ment of the constitution of the United
States so as to shield corporations from
the taxing power Of the States. 1t Will
puzzle any intelligent citizen who applies
himself to the study of that amendment.

The courtesy of the Senate is no
more than the civility among men who are
acting together, with mutual confidence
and good will, and the Difference that is
paid to those who are best acquainted
with and most interested in the subjects
under actual consideration. The Sena-
tors are not band of Office-seekers or
office-brokers. They give to the Execu-
tive, whose constitutional advisers they
are, and to each other, their views and
their opinions, on matters Of which they
and their colleagues of the House Of
Representatives are naturally supposed to
be better informed than outsiders; and
they accept the judgment of the President
and Of the Senate upon those matters
which the Constitution and the laws COM
nit to their consideration.

The object of this tariff protected COM
bination is TO destroy competition, control
the home market, put up prices for home
consumption, and ship the surplus pro-
duct abroad and sell it at such prices as
can be obtained in the markets OF the
world. The meaning of all this is that
starch is to be sold to American consumers
at higher price than it is sold to foreign
ers, which illustrates the beauties and

We see very little hope for any practical
civil service reform at present. Both par
ties have seized the wrong idea and are
busily laboring to demonstrate to the peo-
pie that they are going ''to do something"
True civil service reform can never exist
in a mere formal bill. 1t is impossible to
cripple our Executive by compelling him
to retain ofttimes an administration hos
tile to his plans, purposes, and party
affiliations. Civil service reform will
only become practicable by public opinion.
When a party abuses its power the peO-
pie who gave it should hurl them down.
One or two such lessons would teach more
practicable civil service reform than a
dozen Congressional bills and enact

The New York Tribune is either
wonderfully virtuous or exceedingly
''cheeky" when it questions ''whether
Republican politicians do not attach too
great importance to the control of large

has been beaten overwhelmingly by a
Democratic party in particularly inn

sAlluding to the OkeechObee improve
ment, the Philadelphia Ledger remarks:
''The news that the dredge working up
the CaloOsahatchie river in Florida, has
reached Lake Okeechobee and opened
navigable channel between the lake and
the Gulf of Mexico may mark the begin
ming of new era in the history of South
ern Florida. The Everglades Of that State
are of immense extent, and, if they can be
drained and brought under cultivation,
must unquestionably prove of great
value on account of the warm and
equable climate in that region.
4 vast amount of work will
have to be done, however, to drain the
lands after the CalOosahatchie has been
fully opened. The fact that, although it
afforded communication between the lake
and the Gulf, it did not naturally drain
the surrounding lands, is sufficient in
dication that secondary works will be
needed. Recent reports from Florida rep
resent, however, that all the conditions
are found to be more favorable than was
first expected, Land naturally well drain
ed is so cheap in this country that great
works of reclamation have seldom before
been undertaken here, though they have
been largely employed on the continent of
Europe, and particularly in Holland"
