NEW YEAR.

The opening Of a new year Is
supposed to be intimate
" associated with sundry ana
divers more or less serious reIlec-
tons concerning the years tha'
have passed, and speculationS ana
resolutions regarding those thSt
are buried IN the womb of the
future. whether those reflections
are entirely satisfactory to any one
that indalges in them, may we'll DC
doubted, for in reviewing the past
every man will discover some short
comings in his conduct, some over
sight in his calculations, some
misstep IN his actions. Specula'
tons on the future are shaped and
tinged according to a mans tenn
permanent. If he be sanguine' they
will be rose-colored if bilious DIS
view will be iaundiced if somore,
a black pail Of doubt and mis-
giviugs will overspread the days
and wears to come. To a man IN
the possession of wealth, the future
=. -
will naturally bear brighter
aspect, whereas person to whom
this worlds goods have not been
vouchsafed may be psrdoned If bis
hopes and expectations partake oil
a more quiet coloring. If in the
full enjoyment of health, we face
the unknown with greater conn
dence than if we we're afflicted With
sickness, and SO on through all the
gradations aud conditions Of our
physical and psychological being
1t is also customary to be more
or less sentimental, If not even
historical, when bidding farewell
to the old year and welcoming the
new. and while marshalling before
our mental eye past sorrows and
lows, past disappOintments and
success. For this day we will con
slider this custom as more honored
in the breach than in the obser'
vance, and, in wishing erybody
happy new year, let the dead
past bury its dead, and turn with
hopeful, if wistful, eyes 20 the
golden future.
Thus then we hail 1889 with
loud acclaim, with every intention
to regard the stranger as friend
until we have cause to think other
wise. For all that are near and
dear to us, to our friends, to every
reader of the HERALD may the
new year be a cornucopis filled
with health, happiness and JOY
supreme.
\ Happy New Year to all

A FREE TRADERS TESTIMONY,

Mr. Henry George, who lett tor
England shortly after the defeat
of Cleveland, was interviewed in
London a few days ago on the eve
of his departure for America, He
is reported as saying in reference
10 the difference between American
and English workingmen that
"with regard to the relative con-
dition of labor in the two countries
t is on the whole not so good here
as In the United States, and for
that reason the workingmen as a
body are not so independent or
quick in thought 1t will be re-
membered that Mr.. George, who
is an outspoken free trader that
has the courage of his convictions,
made an especial appeal to Amerl-
can workingmen to support Cleve-
land on the ground that this cleo
ton would hasten the advent Of
free trade, which according to Mr..
George, would bring in its train
any number of blessings. He was
wont TO paint a glowing picture OF
the condition of the American
worklngmen when the Custom
Houses would be traced to the
ground and foreign.made goods
would find tn cir way into our
markets without the payment OF
duty of any kind.
1t was only little over a month
ago that Mr.. George was drawing
these beautiful pictures for Ameri-
can audiences. Since that time be
has seen the condition of working
men in the land where the doctrine
of free trade has been accepted and
acted upon for nigh unto half a
century. The impression m a d g
upon him by his personal observa'
| tons of tht condition of English
workingmen is described in the
words we have quoted above.
If free trade is capable OF doing
so much tor wage workers is it not
in order to ask why English work
ingmen have not something tC
show as a proof of how they have
been benefited by free trade? II
1.-THE of what our free traders
have said about the practical work
ings Of the pro British policy thai
they want TO force upon US be true
have we not a right TO demand o.
them why is 1t that the wealth
producers of England are 60 fai
removed from the quasi millenlum
that we are assured American
workiugmen would enjoy if they
would only vote against the Amer
lcan policy of protection aud il
favor of free trade. Irish World.

SUN
FOR
/ 3 8 .
And for the Democracy.

THE Sun believes that the campaign for
the election of Democratic Congress In
1890 and Democratic President in 1892
should begin on or about the fourth Of
next March. TIE Sun will be on hand
at the beginning and until the end Of the
most interesting and important political
conflict since the war, doing its honest
utmost, as ever, 10 secure the triumph Of
the Democratic party and the permanent
of the principles held by Jefferson, jack
son, and Tilden.
The great fact Of the year IS the return
to absolute power Of the common enemy
Of all good DemOcrats--the political or
ganization for whose overthrow The Sun
fought at the front for fifteen years, the
memorable years of Grant and the Fraud
HAYES, and Garfield and Arthur
1t is the same old enemy that Demo-
Gratis now confront, and no will be in
trenched in the same strong position. IL
has been carried once by brave aud hope
ful lighting. DO you not believe with
The Sun that the thing can be done
again Wait and see
The hope Of the Democracy is in the
loyal Efforts Of a united press, cherishiDg
no memories Of past differences in nOn.es-
sentIals, forgetting everything but the
lessons OF experience, aud that victory Is
a duty.
Probably you know The SuS already
as a newspaper which gets all the news
and prints IL in incomparably interesting
shape; which chronicles facts as they oc-
cur and tells the truth about men aud
events with absolute fearlessness, making
the completeGt and most entertaining
journal published anywhere on earth and
which sells its opinions only to its sub
scrDers and purchasers at two cents a
copy-On Sundays four cents. II you do

what a wonderful thing it is to be In the

THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE.

The New Orleans Daily City Item
speaks very openly and in decidedly
complimentary manner of the candi-
date recently nominated for congress
by the Third Louisiana congressional
district. The Item says:
. Henry Chotard Minor, the repub-
lican candidate for congress in the
Third district, is son of the late VIM.
J. Minor, and was born at Concord,
Miss, in 1911. He is magnificent
specimen of manhood, a well educated
and thorough gentleman. Since at
tanning his majority Mr.. Minor has
been practical sugar planter at
SouthdoWn, Terrebonne parish, which
place he acquired, improved and
which Is now his home. Mr.. Minor
never took part i'll politics until the
Blaine and Logan campaign of 1884.
In 1888 ne was nominated as the re-
publican candidate for lieutenant gov
ernor, but declined. He was a dele
gate to the national convention which
nominated Mr.. Harrison.
Mr.. Minor married a daughter of
Col. Pierce Butler, of Bayou Sara, and
has an interesting family of four chill
dren.
Mr.. Minor has a large family con-
nectiOn in this state, and being an up
right citizen, has legion of friends.
From as staunch a democratic au-
thority as the Item this endorsement
means not little, and the LIGHT feels
very much like congratulating the
republicans of the third district for
the hearty unanimity with which the
nomination was made. Mr.. Minor
would make a valuable addition to the
Louisiana delegation in congress.
Referring to the very general feel
ing among republicans in Louisiana
that they will be able to carry the
district, and to the dmocratic belit-
thing of that feeling, the editor OF the
Item says that it will be suicidal fol
the democrats to go into the cam
paign estimating Mr.. Minor as does the
Picayune, very weak candidate.
The republicans very confidently and
naturally cunt upon a very liberal
support of Mr.. Minors candidacy by
his fellow planters and there is every
reason to bell eve that that support
will be given as they desire to see
their sugar interests represented in
the deliberations on the tariff that
will come before congress this winter.
Judging from the comment evoked
the republicans of the third Louis
lana district have made a wise nom
ination and strong one.
