WEDNESDAY. JUNE 26. 1889.
VOLUME XIX.

THE NEWS to-day enters upon the duties of Volume XIX. How swiftly the years roll by, but what changes they bring Newspaper men fully comprehend these facts because it IS their duty to record commercial, politi- cal, religious, social and other events i; in fact, to chronicle all the changes taking place in this busy world. Even the subscription list of a newspaper is Q perfect kaleidoscope, ever changing, and daily reminding it's custodian that the original subscribers are passing away and new patrons are filling the vacancies caused by death, or removals to other fields of action.
 It seems but brief span since Volume XVIII opened, yet an eventful year has elapsed. Many prominent persons have departed this life. Impor- tant political changes have taken place; even the reins of the national govern ment have been transferred to other guiding hands. Pestilence, shipwrecks, railroad accidents, confagrations, cy- clones and floods have occurred. Gigan- tic failures, like the Panama Canal, the copper syndicate and numberless other speculative schemes have convulsed the financial world. In the religious world much progress has been made by the breaking down of sectarian barriers, thus paving the way for christian unity. The standard of morality has been elevated notwithstanding some sensa- hons and scandals have occurred in social life, even among the so-called nobility.
 During the past year the temperance cause has made great progress. The people are aroused and it has become evident that "The saloon must go" in order to save the home, yet thinking men differ in regard to the methods of crushing out the saloon. Some believe in taxing the saloon to death, while others believe in prohibition. The fact that nine states in succession, viz <: New Hampshire. Oregon, West Virginia, Texas, Tennessee, Michigan, Massachu- setts, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island have voted against prohibition does not indicate that intemperance is on the increase on the contra The Philadel- phia Record says, GA year of high license in Philadelphia has reduced drunkenness one-half, has abolished the debasing dive, has practically wiped out liquor selling on Sunday and has added S634, 460 to the city treasury Both the prohibitionists and the high license men accomplish much good, for they continually agitate the temperance question and show the rising genera. tion the evils of intemprance and warn and educate them to shun the broad road
 None can foretell all the changes that will take place or events transpire be- fore Volume XIX closes, for {" it is the unexpected that always happens, but THE NEWS will continue to be a faith ful and tireless recorder. With it's corps of able correspondents it will endeavor to be an interesting journal and worthy of the liberal patronage which it receives and gratefully acknow lodges. It does not always refect.pub- lie opinion. It endeavors to mould public opinion, so rest assured 1t vii stick to it's motto, NuAa Veshgic
