of his predictions on record in this way:

weather prophet of another age placed one
of his predictions on record in this way:
al Christmas Day on Friday be.
TIC first OF winter hard shall be;
But the end thereof 1t shall be good"
1t is just as well that this prophet long ago was
gathered to his fathers Had he lived until now
he might have been subjected 10 the modification
consequent upon being hung in efiigy by the out
ragged small boy of the period. The small boy of
the period received sled for Christmas-for
Gh:!stmas last. which came on Friday. The subse-
quent weather has not been hard 1t has been
soft, aud the absence of snow has transformed the
small boys sled into hollow mockery. Men went
about tle streets yesterday greeting one another
with the excaim, What delightful weather"
Tie small boy listened to all such talk with "A
bitter sigh of dissent. Any weather prophet who
is prepared to predict with confidence long spell
of snowy weather for the rest of the winter can
hear Of fervent blessings for his head by address
ing the small boy.
Commissioner Squire will not resign. ASIDE from

II e only compliment which Governor Hill per-

Among the Brooklyn I-lm-a-Democrat statesmen
who went to Albany TO witness the inauguration of
Governor Hill was George II. Sterling The CORE
spOndentS report that he was conspicuous" But
they neglect to state what it was that rendered
him conspicuous. However, tho public Will not find
il difficult to guess. Mr. Sterling doubtless the
observed of all observers owing TO the fact that
be went around with his belt full not of revolvers,
but off field glasses whchbe kept anxously consult

is doubtful If it will prove the shrewdest move
that the Chief Searcher could have made. The
city offered him a large sum of money for the
iudices, apparently admitting thereby that the
books were private property; but that will not
prevent the authorities from claiming the
same without pay if the Corporation Counsel,
who is now to investigate the matter, finds that
they are records of Office. Butin whatever way
the matter ends, the incident is only ore more
emphatic argument for an entire change in the
present method of transferring titles to real
estate in this city.
Careful examination of the bills which the
Gibbs Committee have had drawn up as re-
suit of their inquiries into municipal abuses
does not allow hearty approval even for ma
iOrity of them. 1t is good thing to get nd of
the Excise Board by uniting it with the Police
Department, and the contract business of the
Department of Public Works should be regu-
lated but the proposition to make the Police
one headed department is most extraordinary.
Every consideration affecting the public wei
fare demands that it shall be under non-part-
san control 1t is not to be wondered at since
the Mayor hld hand in framing these meas
ures, that if they should become laws Mr..
Grace would be a much greater autOcrat than
he is tO-day-and really that is not needed for
the good of the city.

The cause for the present rise III the price of
raw silk is variously explained by importers
and United States COnsuls. Some attribute 1t
to speculation, Others to small supply and
Others still to change in fashions which in
creases the demand for silk goods. A reason
able suppositiOn is that the present state of the
market Is due to a combination of all three
causes.

We had supposed that Governor Hill was
content to be considered plain business man
with good judgment and common sense but
Judging from the familiar historical infOrma-
ton and well-wOrn dates which he has stuffed
into his Inauguration speech, the inference is
plain that Mr.. Hill desires to pass for a person
of wide learning and culture. The public will
look III vain for practical economic suggestions
or new and broad lines for State administra-
ton; and will hardly be satisfied with vague
promises to follow out the principles of reform
laid down by Governor Tilden. Why this dis
elimination against Mr.. Cleveland2 And why,
oh why, does Mr.. Hill content himself with five
lines or so of praise for the President?

ily or generally observed than New Years Day.
Yesterday was no exception to the rule. The
celebration began early in fact it began be-
fore the day arrived, as the footing of horns
and the blowing of whistles loug before mid
night, proved This species of celebrating is
mole or less exasperating to the disappointed
and grOuty portion of the community, but the
average healthy man or woman does not
greatly mind tit apparently gives the per-
formers so much unallOyed bliss. The weather
was simply perfect and if the rest of the new
year is as bright as what we have had of it so
far, the world will have no reason to complain
of 1856, meteorologically speaking at least.
Lawn tennis is a decidedly different game in
winter from what it is in summer, because the
conditions under which it is played in winter
are totally changed from those of the warm
season. The lights never so good and the ball
bounces more vigorously on planks than on the
turf. Nevertheless. so great Is the devotion
which this somewhat aesthetic sport inspires IN
its admirers that it is pursued with ard0r the
year rouDd-which is more than can be said for
baseball, football, lacrosse or polo. The inter
est manifested in the games i'll the Seventh
Regiment ArmOry yesterday proof of this
assertion. Many amused spectators watched
the sport there, and the players made records
which even members of that lofty class known
as Newport Stars might we'll be glad to have
to their credit.

The Apple Blossom Society.

Composed of young ladies of our city,
was formed about three years ago by a
dozen or more of the youth and beauty
of the less-than-sweet-sixteen age. at
that time without any fixed purpose,
except for good; but since that they
have matured plans which, in the end,
will be productive of great good. Meet
ings have been held monthly, when not
interfered with by mothers and other
unavoidable circumstances, at which
they have prepared a large amount of
fancy and plain needlework, which they
will offer for sale to the highest bidder,
for cash. The proceeds will be for the
benefit of the Lutheran church of Abb
lene, Kansas. The Society have there
fore decided to give an Oyster Supper
on Saturday evening, December 4, 1886,
in the store room formerly occupied by
Mr.. Haas, and between Mr.. J. G. Ham
aker's store and Mr.. Kirby's bank.
A general invitation will be extended
to everybody to call and take supper
and remain afterwards and purchase
the many nice things that will be offer
ed for sale, and thus encourage our
young friends in such a laudable under
taking.

The new officers of the u. S. Land
Office are now pleasantly installed in
their bright new room, which has been
built by Register Palmer with especial
reference to the business of the office.
1t is not admitting too much-when
speaking even from republican stand
p0int-that the patrons of the office, as
well as citizens of the county, are very
much pleased that the Democratic ad-
ministration has done so well in the
choice of officials for the Salina office.
Both gentlemen are courteous and pains
taking III looking after those having
business with the Office. They spend
full hours at their desks, and are always
on hand when wanted. In other words,
the office is ercluSirely business office
and visitors are sufficiently impressed
with this idea upon entering. If the
Democratic officials generally through
out the country were as efficient and at
tentive as the Salina officers, it would
certainly be difficult to unseat them in
1888, when the Republican party will
return to power, But fortunately for
republicans, Palmer and Scarf are on
ly among the very few of the new dis
penSation" who can be thus written of.
