Friends, another year closes out
with this day and we wish you all to
renew your subscriptions and get q
neighbor to subscribe.
Weget into the columns of the MID
EAND about all the local happenings
that are worth knowing; in truth, a
good many which are of no account
whatever to be known; but there is a
morbid appetite for gossip in the
community which is not satisfied with
ont it is fed largely on such trash.
Some of the country papers devote
their whole time and energies to rak
ing such sSubble in and serving it TO
their readers. There being no sub
starca for thought in it, the minds
which are fed on this dry pabulum
are always hungry for more. They
praise the papers which feed them on
these dry hu,ks, but they rise from
their feast week after week never
satisfied. The habitual novel reader
is also a starving. The object OF
reading should be to provide food
for thought, but the mind finding no
mental aliment in all this volume OF
trash daily poured through it be
comes dsipeptic, is nauseated and
constantly hungering after knowledge
hut too weak to digest it. Such Of
fcrings to an immoral soul are as un.
acceptable and unworthy as the dry
subtle Cain raked together for his
burnt offering. What we offer to club
to.our readers for the small sum of
s. so, they will find highly enterta n.
ing and full Of valuable information
which will lead them to higher aims
and nobler aspirations. They will
find in it wholesome food for thought,
and thoughts which will make them
better, wiser and richer in pocket and
in mind.

taleir subscription for gear IN ad

Farmers Association" which we pub
iish in this issue. This notice shou d
have been issued earlier when an
effort could have been made to have
farmers assemble at their places of
election and chosen delegates to at

ion would haye had salutary effort
in drawing the attention of farmers
to this important subject of union
and cooperation to promote their in.
terest and strengthen their influence
in public affairs.
The country's greatest need, is for
farmers to take more interest-we
mean intellige"t interest-in public
affairs. Every farmer should inquire
Of himself when measure of pOliti-
cal economy is up Lefore the country
for decision, chow will this measure
effect our interest>?" And not cease

lar with the subject, SO as to be able

are detectives employed to trap the
clandestine sale of the traffic, and this
horrifies the defenders of the rum

is not bank robbery, secret murd,

the prohihatory liquor laws inflict a
far greater amount of evil on the

Another Great Man Fallen.

On Sunday afternoon, Dec. 26th,
the country was shocked by the an.
nouncement of the death of General
Logan, U. s. Senator from Illinois.
General Logan had been very i'll for
several days with rheumatism, but
the country was not prepared for the
startling intelligence of his sudden
death. He died at his residence in
Washington. Death has lad his
cold hand on a number of the "great
men OF the country in 1885, and the
bright stars that appeared in the
public armament duriug the war in
which human slavery made it's last
stand among the Anglo Saxon race
for power, and freedom fought it's
greatest battles, are rapidly going
down, setting to rise no more. Among
them all who have blazed through
the T snort course OF glory and honor.
few if any, were more esteemed than
Logan. He was a fearless dashing
General in war, and jusr "a fea less
and aggressive in peace, when he
grappled with the great questions of
civil government. On one occasion
when a great battle was in progress,
General Grant sent one of his staff
to Logan to ask him if he could ad.
vance his command little. the reply
was characteristic of the man. "Tell
General Grant can whip all the
rebels between here and HI and
will advance till he orders me to
halt" The path of duty was the
path of the "Mingo Chief as he was
nick named, whether it was flowcry
path of ease or led into the laws of
death. He never balanced and cal.
culated consequences. but went di.
rcctly forward.

The Happy New Year.

This is the wish of all to all which
comes round regularly as the season
bring US TO that starting point.
What will make the aew year hap
pei than the old few stop to inquire
Many consi er it such a conundrum
that they give it up without attempt.
ing to divine what course woull be
best to pursue, or what policy should
be adopted to improve existing con.
ditions; for bettering them appears
to be the generally accepted idea by
which greater measure of happiness
may be enjoyed. Every acquisition
is the achievement of power. and all
power is the fruit of knowledge To
gain the latter would appear to be
the first step toward solving this
problem ''happy new year" ever re.
curing to us al this festive season.
"Something to do, and how to
be happy while doing it" is the title
of new book, A. l. Root. the great
Ohio bee-keeper is writing on garden
ing and intensified agriculture. Farm
ing being the chief business and al
most the entire source of wealth in
this Immediate region of country,
the principal sum of happiness to
our readers will Of necessity be
drawn from this source. The more
knowledge that can be acquired in
conducting this main business OF the
population. the greater the gains,
and Consequently the happiness de-
rived from "doing it," There are
many advantages which our farmers
leave unutilized for lack of broad
er knowledge OF their business,
"hlch would add may dollars to
their incomes, pleasures to their
lives, and increase the measure of
happiness in the new year on which
We are all just enleaing.
None can reasonably expect to
reach this necessary knowledge with.
out the aid of teachers. and they will
find no teachers equal to the agricul
tural papers, teemlng with the ex-
perience of thousands of practica
workers each in his particular field
all over the land. If farmers would
apply themselves assiduously to this
source of information they would ac
quire more valuable knowledge which
they could put into practice the fol-
lowing spring and summer, than they
will gain in half life time from in,
dlviual experience and experiment.
knowledge is power and the Key
which unlocks and makes accessible
to man all the rich treasure houses
of this world.
Hence, fyou would obtain the
happiness winch your friends wish
you to secure, apply yourself to gain
ing more knowledge of the business
which must employ your hands and
thoughts, almost whol y during the
new year.

WHAT CAUSED THE FIGHTING.
The Greek Army Wanted 10 show
What ID Could do Before Going

Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR
LONDON, May 25.-The Immediate cause oil
the recent hostiities on the Greece Turkish
frontier was the fact that the Greek troops,
who served all winter on the frontier and have
borne all the hardships knew that as soon as
frcoupis came back To power they would be
disbanded and were eager to show what they
could do. The conflict was practically pro-
voked. The losses OF both sides is quite uncer-
tain. One correspondent says the Greeks lost
several hundred killed and wounded. Another
telegraphing from Vienna, says fifteen were
wounded on the Turkish side, twelve on the
Greek. The correspondent giving those figures
adds: The Greek general reported that after
routing the Turks he thought ii Well TO retreat
ten kliometers within the Greek territory"
A Greek dispatch also represents the Turks as
having captured the Greek position at kutna
with two companies Of light infantry. Iester-
days royal decree OF disarmament sends
10000 Greek soldiers TO their homes. No
furtuer hostllities are now Appended by any
body. The trouble in the immediate future is
turkey problem how To get her army back
again ana disband them peaceably without
funds.

PARTIES IN THE SENATE.
The Political Complexion Of that Body
In the Next Congress-.

LIKELY To CONTINUE REPUBLICAN BY VERY
SHALL MAJoKITY-PoSSIBILITY OF TIE.
The recent death of Senator Miller, OF Cali
fornia, has perhaps made some change in the
political prospect with regard to the next SEN
ate, as well as in the status OF the present body
California is one of the states in the doubtful
list as to the result Gifts coming senatorial cleo
ton, and the replacement Of republican
senator with democrat worth 500, 600, 900
and liberal in contributing toward party sue
cess is probably calculated to help the demo-
Gratis whether Senator Hearst contemplates
being a candidate for reelection himself or
aiding some other democrat, he is ranked as a
potent agent in California politics. He is very
industrious in looking after official positions
for his constituents, and tor the short time he
has been here has done quite well. OF the
nine democrats, Hearst. Gray, Jones of Florida.
German, George, Cockrell, Fair, Maxey and
man and George have already been elected.
The others, with the possible exception of
Hearst aud Fair, are sure to be succeeded by
democrats; and as to Nevada, IL is claimed that
Senator Fair can be returned if he SO desires
Gray. COckrell and Maxey will be their own
OF the fifteen republicans whose terms expire
with this session-Hawley. Harrison, Hale.
Dawes, Conger, Mcmillan, Van Wyck, SeweIl,
Miller, Sherman, Mitchell of Pennsylvania Al
drich, Edmunds, Malone and Sawyer-Sher-
man has been reelected and Malone has been
replaced by q democrat, making a democratic
tgain Of one in the four elections that have
>aken place. The only seats in this list which
.a6 Ge considered doubtful are those OF Haw-
ey Connecticut), Harrison Undiana), Con-
ger tMichigan), Sewell New Jersey,
Miller New York; and Sawyer Wisconsin,.
This list gives the doubt TO every state of the
number That has shown any signs OF political
waver.ng during the past several years; though,
as to Michigan and Wisconsin, the republicans
have too firm hold upon these states to con-
slider the cha.ce OF their losing them as more
than possibility. The Senate now stands Al
republicans and 35 democrats. Should the
democrats hold California and Nevada, count
ing their gain in Virginia, they would need two
more seats to tie the Senate. They have more
than fighting chance 10 gain one of these in
Indiana, rs they have a large majority OF the
holding-over state senators. Still there Is dis
affection in the party, and Senator Harrison is
very strong with the people of his state. His
friends are working energeticalIy to return him
for another term. Ii the democrats carry
Indiana, they will really be restricted to New
York, New Jersey and Connecticut Tor the two
seats necessary to obtain a majority of one in
the Senate. Should they get two of these
states, they might lose California or Nevada, or
both.
The outlook, impartially viewed, favors a
republican ascendancy in the next Senate, but
by majority SO slim that it will not exceed
two or three votes.
