THE NEW YEAR.
vELMA CALDWELL MELVILLE

She cometh forth in her virgin wilderness,
This dainty, wiDsome glad New Year;
She smiles in all her genial brightness,
And promises bountiful hope and cheer.
Her robes are wrought in some fairy palace,
Fashioned by fingers as nimble as light,
And set with millions of shining jewels
Pearls, and diamonds as Pleads bright.
Last night the Old Year, stern and hoary,
Breathed his last on her gentle breast;
She closed his eyes with her lily fingers,
And followed him out to his final rest.
At morn she rose in regal beauty
To reign as queen DER all the land;
Her Kingdoms a realm unbounded,
She rules it with a magic wand.
All hail to thee. fair and lovely New Year! !.
We own thy charms, thy witching power,
We feel the spell of thy wondrous presence
nd do thee homage from this hour!

Corn Cribs.
Iowa Register

In our trip last week to Waverly
we noticed the marked differences IN
the quantity of corn cribbed at the
railroad stations between this and for
mer years. There is evidently not
cne-tourth this year. This is not
owing to the scarcity of the crop, but
from the determination and ability of
the farmers to use their corn at home.
If this practice can be followed, and

WHAT CONSTITUTES AN OFTEN
SIVE PARTISANi

The Toledo Blade (good authority is re-
sponsible for the following:
"Mrs. Mary E. Kali, of Ohio, was re!
moved, on the recommendation or Auditor
Williams for offensive partisanshlP. The
latter consisted in having written q KePuoh-
can campaign song during the last Presiden-
tial election" The same paper also says
"The Copperhead Democratic editor at
DeKalb, H., who remarked in his paper, at
the time of the old hero's death at Mt. Nc
Gregor, that he was glad Grant was dead
and hoped he was in hell, was appointed
P. M. of that town by Cleveland but the
Senate rejected him."
When these two are placed side by side
they have peculiar look, leading one to
ask, what is offensive partisanship, and won
der is that term has not been used, like chari-
ty, to "cover multitude of sins"
NY dictionary gives the definition ofParti.
san as. "the commander of party;' II they
acknowledge Mrs. Kali to be that, they are
paying quite a compliment to her mental
powers, but the word seems to be applied
to each member of party also. Offensive
means ''injurious displeasing, that which
gives offense," and otfense is ''that which
injuries or displeases," and the ofcnse seems
which it is taken; that depending much on
the degree of DYSPEPSIA, mental and physical
the offended party is afflicted with. There
fore, an offensive partisan is one who, as
party member, displeases another party in
its official acts. But, though whatever dis
pleases is considered an injury, and all that
injuries displeases, for much that is harmful
is welcomed by men because of present gain
or pleasure, yet whatever helps to defeat
party Of course is displeasing; then what be-
comes the Civil Service Reform and of what
use is the limiting of official discharges
to those accursed of offensive partisanship
when the mere act of voting against party
can be termed injurious

chased the Byron property and fitted up the

A Chance to see Virtue Unadorned.
The following was received yesterday from
San Francisco and five dollar greenback in
closed with request to publish.
A California exchange speaking of the sea
side resorts of that State has no doubt good
reasons for giving vent to the following ::
'What is it that possesses women, who
when at home, appear to be most modest and
unassuming, yet, when they go to the sea
side, think no more Of exposing their bodies
and forms TO the rude gaze, and still more
rude remarks, of thousands Of spectators,
than they do Of eating their breakfasts. II
was remarked by a gentleman who witnessed
the scene on the Santa Cruz beach on Sun
day that at the present reckless manner in
which the women expose themselves, it will
not be many seasons before they do away
with bathing suits altogether, and take to
the water in naturalibus. As it is, some of
them might do away with bathing suits al.
together, Tor those worn are OF SO gauzy a
texture, that nothing is concealed by their
being worn; they simply have effect Of max
ing nskedness more naked"
Hereafter ten dollars will be the lowest
pnce at which these puffs Of seaside resorts
will be printed, unless photographs of the
subjects are enclosed to enable the editor TO
realize just how shameful these exhibitions

COMMUNICATION.

ED. TIMES Once in a while one sees
something in the papers that is worth think
ing about, and l happened to come across
one or two such things few days ago. They
are contained in the following article
New YORK, July S.-The Suns special
dispatch says: An important meeting of
! the British and Colonial Chamber of Con-
gress was held to-day, at which there was
an animated discussion of the silver ques.
tion and its bearings upon the commerce of
India, Australia and Great Britain.
Henry II. Gibbs. ex- Governor of the Bank
of England, opened the proceedings by
speech showing the world wide importance
Of restoring the monetary value of silver.
Sir Robert X. Fowler, NJ. P, London
banker and ex-Lord Mayor, opposed the
idea, and was followed by two Indian mem
bers, both Of whom contended that the ef-
feet OF the depreciation of silver must be
finally the ruin Of the wheat and cotton in
dustries of America and the development Of
India as the chief wheat and cotton exporter
of the world. They therefore protested
against England aiding America to restore
the value of silver at the expense of the in
terests OF India.
Paul F. Lid an, an East India merchant,
argued that England had other interests be-
sides those Of India, which stood sorely in
need OF the restoration Of silver, and trusted
| that C;ibbs's ideas would be adopted by The
meeting.
Crump, of the London 7ImeS, denounced
the agitation of the silver question as the
work of the silver miners of Nevada and
their allies, the Washington ring,
From the foregoing it is evident that the
present depression in silver is not the result
ofover production, but, is deep laid scheme
to ruin and destroy leading American in.
dustires.
With this short debate before him, the
sists in obstructing legislation favorable to
the free coinage of our silver is either an
| idiot or has sold himself TO our enemies and
in either case is unfit to represent an intelli-
gent and respectable people.
First and foremost among the aiders and
abbettors of this great conspiracy is our
"Cheap John" President and his Secretary
of the Treasury. Without their aid it would
have been impossible for it to have reached
its present magnitude, and for them we are
indebted to the Democratic party and more
Immediately to the naturalized citizens Of
the State of New York. A great majority Of
these came to America in order to escape
the oppression OF England, and with unac-
countablc inconsistency, they use their very
best and most energetic efforts to assist this
same England in extending her oppressive
measures, not only over themselves, but over
every free born American. And strange as
it may appear there are Americans, native
born Americans, who vote with these. Yea,
there are those evsn who profess to trace
their gencalogy back to the Pilgrim Fathers,
who are members OF the Democratic party.
Why are they Democrats Why are foreign

good reason can be given, perhaps will
