X HAPPY NEW Y EAR.

To all into whose hands the DEMOCRAT will come to-day we extend the greetings of the season and wish them a very happy new year, whose pleasures and joys will be as bright and glad as those which come to them as they touch hands with Father Time on this day. To all who by occasional or permanent patron age have enabled us to make the DEMO- GRAF most welcome daily visitor we wish very happy new year and hope that like ourselves they have but begun an increasingly prosperous twelvemonth. To all who have found pleasure aud profit in the columns of the DEMOCRAT we wish a very happy new year and hope they will reap still greater fruits from them in future. To advertisers, sub scribers. occasional or constant readers, to all who have been our substantial friends we wish all the abundance and good luck that can come from a happy new year.
 To the outgoing president and his bride we wish a very happy new year and hope that in the respect and confidence of his fellow men MT Cleveland will find the rewards of a competent and faithful discharge of his official duties. To the incoming president and his faithful spouse we r~4sh very happy new year a41dd nope MT Harrison will be as true tC his duty and as faithful to his trust as the man whom he will succeed. To the | incoming administration of our owI l commonwealth we wish a very happy new year and hope that before it retires from office we way have a secret ballot more equal representation, and a change of constitution that will allow the people to choose their own state officers. TC our good mayor and his faithful associ ates in the care and management of oul city we wish very happy new year ant hope that during the months to come | they will be as true to their trust as they have been i'll the past. To our genia selectmen and town officers we wish |;
 very happy new year and hope they vii
 give us good roads for the next twelve months and their hearts will be filled with kindness and generosity to the pool creatures who come within their prov ince To all our esteemed contempOr aries in whose pages we find the bright reflex of passing events we wish a very happy new year and hope that tee each an( every one of them will come increased prosperity and greater usefulness.

ments, corporation counsel, city cham berlain, excise board, four police justices, seven school commissioners annually, and divers and sundry minor officials. It is an enormous amount of patronage for municipal official, whose distribu- ton may well be expected to tax the re- sources and ingenuity of the man to whom it will belong.
 Confronting Mayor Grant will be the natural desire to distribute the spells among his followers and to the satisfac- tion of factional claim, as we'll as the disposition to rise above partisanship and set the public we'll above and beyond the clamOrous appeals and demands of politicians. To which will he yield! It goes without saying that there is a cry ing need of reform in many of the de partments of the city government, which are now run by virtually irresponsible heads, the only restraints on their official miscocduct being the fear of investigation and exposure by a committee Ci the state legislature. The appointment of men who would have the confidence of the public would win for Mayor Grant a record that might yet boost him higher on the rounds of the political ladder. If his public record he any criterion the citizens of New York may expect good results from the administration of Mayor | Grant.
 His term of office owing to the great power that will be rested in him, will be watched with an interest second only to that which will attach to the admins tration of President Harrison.

THE NEXT CENSIS-

In 1890 the eleventh census of the United States will be taken. That is to say the taking will begin on the 1st of June in that year, though it may possibly | not be finished until closing on the end of the nineteenth century. It is only This winter that the last volume of the tenth census, begun in 1880, was com
 pleted. That was particularly elaborate
 work, and it has been suggested, in view of the length of time occupied in it's i compilation, that the next census be
 made less bulky. The cost, too, of making the tenth census was enormous-S5.S .S62.- 75O-but it is evident that, owing to the ! large increase of population during the decade, no saving can be made. In fact,
 the house bill providing for the taking 1 of the census appropriates SC. 900, ,OOO for l the purpose
 The increase in the cost Of census con- l pilations, from the taking of the first one
 in 179O, is shown in an interesting com
 parison made by MT Pitman Pulsifer. the
 committee clerk; and it's exhibit of S44.-
 900, ito stand on, with the $6, 900 ,O0O now l required is highly suggestive of the
 country's growth during the century
 ending in 1890. The cost is now 136
 times as much as that of the first census
 one hundred years ago. The increase of
 population is something over sixteen
 times the total of 1790. But there is a
 mass of other information to becollected | now that did not exist even half cen
 tury ago. The table of the various com
 pilations is as follows: 1790, one volume
 published in 1792, S44, ,377; 1900, one
 volume published in 1901, S66,6O9; 1910,
 two volumes published in 1913, SITS, ,44O;
 1920, two volumes published in 1893,

\ SU BSTA NTIAL GIFT.

To those who would present a sub stantial New Years gift to some esteemed friend we would commend a paid up years subscription to the DEMOCRAT. To those who have at heart the principles of democracy, who are interested in the upbuilding of the party of Jefferson and Jackson, who are interested in the daily life of the community in which we live and who are always anxious to keep in touch with the great world that lies out side our own little community, no daily visitor can come with more genuine pleasure than the DEMOCRAT, which pre- sents concisely but thoroughly all these things. In our editorial, telegraphic and local news departments, in our field of miscellaneous and selected reading we aim always to reach so far as in us lay the highest possible standard. An in creased patronage will enable Us to in- crease and extend our present facilities and render the DEMOCRAT still more at tractive and still more welcome to the homes and the hearts of our many patrons.
 In making up the list of New Years gifts give the DEMOCRAT a prominent place.

IT takes a compositor to kill off a re- publican majority, and some of ours would be useful to the democrats in their efforts to get control of the next house. It is perhaps unnecessary to re mark that in our editorial note yester- day in reference to a republican combine the word southern was omitted. There happens to be, fortunately for Tom Reed and those who are looking for Carlisle's place, a few more republicans allow

NEW YORK,S NEW MAYOR.

Mayor Grant takes up to-day the man. tie laid down by the old hlmbug Abram $. Hewitt. If the ex-sheritf carries into his new position but half of the energy and honesty that have characterized his administration of the office from which he retires the public of New York city will have reason to congratulate them selves on the result of the municipal election. He has grand opportunity in the distribution of an enormous and unprecedented amount of patronage, to render a service to rhis fellow citizens and if he is true to his past record there will be little reason to regret the change from the dyspeptic and egotistic old crank who was so emphatically sat down upon by the people at the polls.
 During the term Of Mayor Grant two police commissionership will expire and the new appointees will hold office fo1 six years. Then he will have the ap- pointment of dock commissioner, park commissioner, health commissioner, fire commissioner, commissioner of charities and correction, and two members, we believe, of the board of taxes and assess

THE increased immigration from Europe during the past year or two has been accounted for by MT Anderson, the suit of the impression among the poor and ignorant people abroad that the gates of Castle Garden are liable to be closed against them at any time. The origin of this impression, Mir Anderson says. is attributable to the prominence given the subject of immigration by congress and the press of this country. It may be necessary yet to close the gates, little way at any rate.

VERESTSCHAGIN, the Russian artist. i

VEREsTsCHAGIN, the Russian artist is picking up English very fast since he came to this country. and is alrreSfdy able 6lte t9 talk it with a fair degree of fluency. There are less difficulties for the nations of Russia than for those of Germany or France in the promoniation of our language. and Nerestschagin is overcoming such as he finds so rapidly that. if he should live here through tue coming year, and mingle as freely with the people as he has done thus far. he will be able by next December to speak like one to the manner born. He has an advantage in the fact that he is not at all afraid of our speech. and he tackles its hardest parts in any company with out regard to the effect upon his listeners. He seems to be lingual genius. but he has not yet run up agaist Volapuk.
