we think solely Of what We shall get
without thinking Of what we shall
give. Not only are we thus purpos-

ceive, but we are cultivating a condi-

injury, and that may end in our ruin.

One of the picturesque features OF

cockle-shell craft, weighing not over
twenty pounds, is one of the prettiest

ished cedar and its bright-eyed occu-
pant seated on scarlet cushion on its
bottom. She has scarlet ribbons on
her sailor hat and scarlet sash fast.

SILENCE AND SPEECH.

WHO 10 ne VINO hnOWo Wn0n TO V8I8
and when to Be Silent.
We read the other day the assertion
that ten men have repented speech
where one has .repented silence"
There are times when silence is GRIM
inal, when not to speak. and with
holy boldness, is to deny ones man.
hood and dishonor God. Silence is not
always 'golden;" it is sometimes the
basest pinchbeck metal. When the
truth is assailed. when worthy men
are traduced. the man who listens with
shut mouth shows himself q poltroon,
and by his silence virtually becomes a
partaker in the wrong. But, on the
other hand, there are frequent occa.
sions in daily life when to put a bride
upon the tongue by closing the
lips IS the highest wisdom. How
much sad strife is engendered, what
roots of bitterness are expanded into
more bitter herb and fruitage. by
hasty, ill-considered speech! An angry
man, for example, if he speak at all, is
sure to say foolish or wicked things
that in his cooler moments. II he is a
sensible man, he will deeply regret
The quaint Hibernicism, HE never
opens his mouth but he puts his foot
in it," only sets forth in humorous
way what constantly happens to the
| ivo%o ovoolro,, ~ = ~ monde
But angry speech is not by any
means the most reprehensible or in
injurious speech. The words of the
slanderer, the tale-bearer, the mali.
cious gossip, are often tenfold more
/ mischevious than the most flaming ut
terances of an angry tongue. A con.
siderable part of the talk OF common
life is made up of gossip. some Of
which is harmless enough; but far too
much of it. when not Intentionally
malicious, owes all its piquancy tC
personal detraction. 1t is true, harm
does not always result from such idle
gossip, at least to the unconscious OBJ
ject of it. But uttered words are past
recall. and one does not know, wher
saying an unkind or malicious thing
hcw great wrong it may do. 1t il
safer, and certainly it is kinder, tt
keep the mouth shut when tempted tc
speak ill OF ones neighbour s,p
There is another habit OF speech
into which even good men sometimes
fall, tempted by the applause it is APP
to provoke. 1t is that of telling tales
whose point lies in a vulgar, profane
or indecent jest. 1t is against thi
kind of testing" not against the in
nocent play of wit or humor, that thu
Apostle Paul protests. 1t was an ad
mirable trait in General Grants char
acter that he never would permit sucl
talk in his presence. There is jus
one rule for the guidance Of Chr istial
men-indeed, of all gentlemen-in thi
matter: keep your mouth shut
yea, shut tight, with lips compressed
lest the wanton jest escape.
But this good rule should not b
adopted as a hinderance to all talk
In spite Of Carlyle's rude dictum Their
is not enough talk in the world-of tn
right kind. Talk is persuasion, an
persuasion is force" says the historic
Green, and of good, honest, persuasive
genial speech there can not be to
much. Only let it be seasoned wit

AT sale in Birmingham, England,
dealer paid 1926 for a pack of cards.
The pack is stated to be the only one
of its kind in the world. Every card
is specially engraved, and the pack
comprises an exhaustive pictorial his
tory of the principal events in the
reign of Queen Anne down to 1905.
They include the victories OF MARI
borough, the sea fights of Admiral
Benbow, all the various changes con-
nected with the parliamentary pro-
ceedings of the day and the conclusion
of the treaties between England and
France and Spain. The queen OF
of hearts is pretty well drawn pict-
ure of Queen Anne herself, and the
king of heart represents King George
of Denmark, her husband. The queen
of diamonds is Annie Sophia, Queen
of Denmark; the queen of clubs is the
Princess Royal of Prussia. and The
queen of spades is the Princess Anne
of Russia. The knaves were repre-
sented by leading politicians of the
day.

-Ansold observer of presidential life
in Washington says that each new
President begins his term by spending
more money on hospitality during the
first year Of Office than during any OF
the succeeding ones. The expenditure
decreases gradually. it is said. until
the fourth year. when the ordinary
President begins to think more about
saving money for the coming rainy day
than about spending it for dinners and
receptiOns.

much hard aud effective service to
secure the result as any delegate in the

A NOTABLE ENTERPRISE.

THE BEES special newspaper train,
inaugurated to-day, is a distinct and
notable departure in the enterprise of
western journalism. Other papers have
chartered special trains to distribute
their Sunday editions, or for some ex-
traordinary occasion, but so far as we
know no daily in the country, and cer-
tainly none in the west, has ever put
into effect such an enterprise as THE
BEE enters upon to-day-that of a
special daily train for the conveyance
of its morning edition to its patrons be
tween Omaha and Denver, which will
enable them to obtain this paper
from three to four hours earlier than
heretofore.
This enterprise is not undertaken un-
der any pressure of competition. No
other paper in Omaha could or would
enter into an arrangement involving so
great an expense, with the certainty
that the profits from increased circula-
tion cannot for very long time, if they
ever shall, balance the outlay. 1t is
due solely to the desire of THE BEE to
furnish its patrons with the news of the
state, the nation and the world at large
at the earliest hour practicable, for in
these Dustlng days men desire to be in
formed OF what is going on with the least
possible delay. We have entered upon
year that promises to be prolific in
important and interesting events. A
new administration will take control OF
the federal government, bringing for
ward new policies and instituting
changes in which the whole people will
be concerned. In our own state the
course of legislation will have great in
terest for our people and should be care
fully watched by them. In other Ian DIS
events of the highest Importance are
foreshadowed. All intelligence of this
character the henewspaper reader is eager
TO obtain as soon as may be, and it isthe
aim OF TIE BEE to meet this demand.
The facilities of THE BEE for furnish
ing the news of the world are well
known. These will be increased as cir
cumstanccs shall require. Leading by
far all other dailies in this section as a
newspaper, we shall not only maintain
that position but increase the lead.
Everything OF interest in our own and
other countries will receive adequate at
Omaha daily bee., 1889-01-01

The great majority OF people always
give hearty welcome to the New Year.
To many it brings the assurance Of more
prosperous conditions, to still larger
number it Is the starting point OF re-
newcd effort and OF needed reforms, and
to only the very few is it without some
benefit or promise. As u holiday, New
Years day is especially interesting for
its social observances. The custom of
"Calllng" in this country makes it pecul-
iarly a day of compliments, and while
to many the custom is thought TO be
'moro honorcd in the breach than in the
observance" it is not without its merit
orious features. In some cities where
for several years it has been somewhat
neglected there will be Il revival of the
custom this year. but Omaha is not one
of these. Doubtless many ladies here
will receive, but there appears to have
been little formal preparation, and call
ing will not be general.
In the practical affairs of life nu-
merous aud important matters are
transacted at the opening Of new year,
and it is therefore an cvcntful period to
bankers, merchants, manufacturers,
railroad officials and others who have
business concerns. Legislation will now
begin its grind in number of states,
governors will be inaugurated, and the
machinery of government in sovereign
commonwealths will be given fresh
impetus. Altogether, therefore, en-
trance upon New Year is a matter of
very large interest and Importance.
The conditions seem favorable TO q
year of prosperity for the country, in
which Nebraska and is metropolis will
not fail to share. Progress we shall
certainly make, but it may be curtailed
or enlarged according to the wisdom of
our Legislators and the enterprise of
our people. Git is a good occasion for
the former to resolve upon governmental
reforms and the latter to reach out
more vigorously for the advantages
| that are to be secured.
| To all its patrons TIE BEE wishes a
| Happy New Year.

Omaha Mission.

The management of the Omaha mission
desires to thank all who contributed to the
happiness of the children on the occasion of
the Christmas dinner. OF all the donations
re ceived, there was not one that would not
have graced the Christmas table OF the
donor.
The wholesale butchers sent a very ac,
ccptable donation of beef which was distrib-
uted among the needy and deserving fam-
lies. A lady friend of the mission sent 100
sacks of candy which were distributed in
the same way. A number of our citizens
presented Mrs. Jardine with small sums of
money, amounting to $50, to he used in buy
ing gifts for the children who might not be
found by Santa Claus. Owing to the largo
amount of clothing received at this time,
many were protected from the cold.
We desire to return our sincere thanks to
all those who, by act or word have aided us

of uncompromising devotion to the in

To accommodate some passengers who
desire to go west at the early hour at
which THE BEES newspaper train
leaves Omaha, the managers of the
Burlington have been accorded the
right to attach passenger coach to the
train. Thus the travelling public are
afforded additional facilities of which
they would remain deprived but for
the enterprise of THE BEE.

FOUR years ago a woman's suffrage
bill passed both houses of the territorial
legislature of Dako with good ma
jority, but was vetoed by Governor
Pierce. The prospect of the early ad-
mission of Dakota has inspired them
again to knock at the door of the terri
torial legislature, which convenes jan
nary s, for recognition OF equal
rights. But 1t is more than probable,
that as Dakota no longer requires the
vote of women to gain admission into
the union, the legislature will turn a
cold shoulder ON the woman suffrage
moyment.
