A Happy New Year.

When the ceremony of observing the
advent of the New Year Was first insti
tuted by Nums Pompiilius, King Of
Rome, 7l3 B. c., the day was dedicated
to the god Janus, and was kept by an
offering of cake made of new sifted
meal, salt, incense and wine to the god
On that day, too. artisans and mechan-
les were accustomed to commence some
new specimen of their handicrsft, and
authors to begin some new work.
For twenty.six hundred wears the GUS
tom of observing the Few Year as feast
day has been generally observed, and
with but little change in the manner OF
celebrating it. Sacrifices are still offer
ed up, but instead of being dedicated to
q mythical heather god they are offered
up to good feeling, kindliness and
friendship anonst our fellow men. Bust
ness men still start their affairs anew
from that day, and newspapers gener-
ally make fresh start" at that time.
The social table laden with good things,
is spread by the hospitable for supply
ing food and nourish ment to the mind;
and there is just this difference between
the feast prepared for the body and that
prepared by us for the mind, the first
will pass away with New Years Day, but
ours will last the year through. When
q good housewife has laid her New
Years table she likes to have her guests
call at once SO that the pleasure may be
enjoyed together" and wei hope to meet
all our old friends, and many new ones,
promptly at tie beginning of the year
80 that they may miss no part of the
feast we have prepared for them. Our
charge for admission to our feast is very
small, and we return many times that
amount in value during the year. Call
early if you want to partake of the first
portion of the repest.
We would take this opportunity of
thanking all our kind friends who have
been with us during the past year, and
to wish them "a happy and prosperous
New Year and We trust that we may have
the pleasure of meeting them from week
to week in the year that is to come. as
surfing them that on our part no effort
will be spared to make that meeting as
pleasant and agreeable to them as posi-

The board of railroad commissioners
handed down tie following decision
yesterday:
Complaint, by the townships of Day
ton, Cambria, Walnut and Smoky View,
ia Saline county, Kansae, against the
Union Pacific railway company.
DECISION OF THE BoARD.
The complaints from the above named
townships were presented together, and
. like complaint from Wilson township,
IN Ellsworth county, was submitted at
the same time. These complaints are of
considerable importance and have occU-
pied the careful and earnest attention of
the board. They allege that the freight
mates on wheat and corn over the re-
apondent's railroad are unreasonable and
should be reduced.
The compliments were represented by
SSon. A. P. Collins, who presented to the
bosfd an elaborate argument in writing
In support of the complaints. We are
not able to adopt all Of Mr.. Collins con-
illusions, and chiefly for the reason that
wethink the leading points in his areu-
'ment are unsound; and since the views
therein expressed are popularity held,
and are deemed by him quite conclusive
OF the points suggested, We feel justified
in examining them.
One argument put iorth why Kansas

as drawn from comparison of the ratio
OF operating expenses to earnings of q
numberof Kansas roads, with like
number Of lines operating in the state of
Illinois. These are set out in tabular
form as follows:
