AS GOVERNOR CLEVELAND has ex-
pressed his views on the Civil Ser
vice reform there are some who
are quite uneasy at this time. He
says that he will strictly adhere to
the principles of the law, and will
make an exception of "those who
have forfeited all just claim to reten-
ton because they have used their
places for party in disregard of their
duty to the people, and because,
instead of being decent public ser
wants, they have proved themselves
offensive partisans and unscrupu-
lous manipulators of local party
movement" This is plain language
and ought to satisfy the supporters
of Cival Service Reform.

Miss Belle Gosler, fifteen-year-
old daughter of Mrs. l. Gosler, of
Lindwood, Md, eloped last Friday
night with Harry Giles, a young
man who lived about thirty miles
from the town. Miss Belle is the
only daughter and for some time
past has been the belle of the vii
iage. At the little country church
of Lindwood she always met young
Giles and after services the happy
couple would stroll homewards
through the woods. Mrs. Gosler OBJ
iected to her daughters receiving
the attention of the young man at
such a tender age. But the lovers
met in secret. On Christmas morn
ing Miss Belle left her home in COM
panv with her cousin, Mrs. Stevens.
They proceeded to Seaford, where
her lover lived. The following day
Mrs. Stevens saw the couple together
but the young girl returned before
dark. They retired at eleven o'clock
and about one hour later young
Giles stopped near by in carriage
and, stealing up to the house, gave
the signal for his fair one to appear
Their elopement was not know
until the next morning, when sever
detectives were put on their tracks
but were unable to overtake then
before they were married. The cou
pie went from Seaford to Laurel
thence to Sharpestown, where the,
were married.-Phila, Times.

The Old Year and the New.

" Woflu! 1Ou coy cOquettS'
So ready to forget,
And coldly pass the face that once you
knew!
How heartless you appear
To the now departing year,
And how eagerly you welcome in the new.
remember well the time
When bells were all in chime,
And the year you coldly turn from now
was new;
How you greeted him with bliss,
Tender grasp and loving kiss
All! you did not treat him then as now
you do.
A New Year now once more
Walks through Times open door;
And, as you bid the poor old year adieu
You drink to him in wine,
As though he were divine;
But when old you'll foasake him for the
new.
o world We're all the same,
All equally to blame
And, human, must do as others do.
So fill the greeting glass,
And let the welcome pass:
Farewell, old year. All hail-all hail tn
| new.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 8, 1895.

THE old year is dead. 1t was one
that will be remembered long by
this generation. To some it has
been fruitful, and bright hopes and
aims have been accomplished.
Others, misfortune stares them in
the face. On the threshold of the
New Year let us hope that many
will make, unto themselves, promises
which they will faithfully fill, and
that this year, in its evolutions,
may bring them a rich reward for
their faithfulness. Turn the leaf.
On it there are broken promises and
pledges, which, perhaps, none know
but yourself and the recording
angel. Let us but hope for year
of peace and plenty. One without
civil strife or pestilence, and when
at the end of the year one and all
may be able to step onward and up
ward.

IT is encouraging news TO know
that all the mills at Fall River,
Mass, have resumed operations at
the same wages paid before, the last
strike. This speaks for better times.
It is not only Fall River where in
dustries have started, but all other
centres of cotton manufactures,
north and south. The wages at Fall
River are paid weekly now where
the custom used to be to only pay
once month. The demand fol
their products is so active thatthere il
but little danger apprehended abou
suspension in the near future

we sold enormously in Janu-

some at a rate little short of |

Having SOLD we bought as
freely, and gained a season.
We sold what belonged to the
turrying winter, and bought
wl'at belonged to the coming
spring. The hardness of
cling made buying easy;
and again we sold in a way

ner found us with trade en-

finished.
Again we had our choice,
90 on or slacken pace.
The times were still more
critical. Merchants were
falling; goods were falling;
buyers of all sorts TAX

ing less, though at advanta-
geous prices. Again we
overran Europe. But the
sword Of Damocles was
hanging over us. We
bought with caution and

as we could.

HowARD's letter in the Philadel-
phia Press of Sunday last tells u
pitable tale of woe Of unemployed
men, women and children in New
York. He says the city is swarmed
with intelligent men out of work,
ready to lay their hands to anything
to earn quarter or Il meal. Thou
sands, he says, have been thrown
out of employment within the past
few days. This, indeed looks dark,
but we must believe that this state
ef.affairs are but momentary. Ger
tainly it will not be Of long dura-
ton. Trade will throw open her
channels in some shape or another
and will give employment to the
unemployed. The rich must feed
the poor in the meanwhile What
other remedy have the poor other
than to seek the rich, and especially
those they have made so by their
labor. 1t is but fair justice that they
do so. What faint idea have we
of New York, of her great wealth,
of her great misery, and above all,
of the great crime within her me-
tropolitan boundaries. She is n
world within herself, and, as mat
ter of course, will take care of all
her interests.
