TEr NEW yrAR CHEsTNuT.

It is rather a miserable thing that even
such benevolent phrase as ''I wish you a
Happy New Year." grows tiresome and
even irritating, after it has been dinned in
ones ears, say, eight hundred and seventy
times-whIch upon calculation we find to
be the average mans allotment OF season.
able salutations. The first two or three
compliments of this sort have a CHEEKY and
novel ring about them. A man does not
complain if he is wished years happiness
by his butcher or his baker, or the patient
Enthusiastically if he be in debt to
these gentlemen-during the early hours of
the day. After noon the sound of the salu-
tation begins to stale. 1t loses its original
flavor as the day wanes save, when the
well-wisher is friend or a beloved aunt,
with bank account, and will to be made.
When night comes to check the chorus of
chestnuts, it is sanity man indeed, who
does not rejoice that New Years Day is
over.
Perhaps this is misanthropy. 1t is not our
fault if it is. Did only those who really
wish you we'll break the bottle of sentiment
over your bows, "A happy New Year to
you" would be an echo of the heavenly mes
sage of the Christmas angels. But the real
meaning of the phrase is seldom thought of.
Those who really wish you at the bottom of
the Ohio pronounce the words just as cor
rectly as the friend whose heart, hand and
purse are at your disposal. And you again
are none the less indiscriminating in your
greetings. 1t would be q lovely state of
things if everybody wished everybody else
to be happy for year or eternity, but every
body is not built that way yet.

THE DANGER AT HOME.

The assurance of our local electricians
that the electric light wires of this commu-
nifty were so perfectly insulated as TO guard
against all dangers. received rude shock
by the killing of street car horse yesterday
through contact with loose telephone wire
that had fallen across an electric light wire.
The public viii not be slow 10 leap to the
conclusion that what kills horse may Kill
a man, and to inquire what safeguard there
is against the repetition of thiscasualty with
the loss of human life.
The accident is a warning that it will not
do TO rely too confidently on the assertions
Of interested experts, that their wires are
perfectly safe. II is not accessory to accuse
those who say SO of bad faith, when we say
that such assurances are not sufficient pro-
lection for the public safety. Men whose
interests and predisposition induce them to
believe that their wires are safe, may truly
believe SO; and yet the event may come
which proves the possibility of fatal danger
in the arrangements that have been certified
to as beyond che possibility Of danger.
The assertion of Mr.. Bigelow that the
wires must go underground points out the
only adequate remedy. Mr., Westinghouse
has announced the discovery of practicable
underground system of electric lighting;
and no time should be lost in securing for
Pittsburg the benefit Of it.

WILL MONEY WIEl

The Senatorial question In Ohio is stead
lily approaching the day of settlement. 1t
is singular feature of this contest that
while the respectable Democrats of the
State are earnestly protesting against the
choice of men whose sole Recommendation
is their big bank accounts, the general
tenor of the reports is that the election lies
only between the millionaires, with the
chances strongly in favor Of the success of
Brice's overpowering barrel.
Hardly any stronger way of putting the
objections 10 the candidates whose only
qualification is their wealth could be i'm
agined than that taken by the protest of
the Cleveland Democrats. 1t is timely to
protest against making the recent Demo
cratic victory ''the means of reinforcing the
already powerful array of railroad magnates
and money kings in the United States Sen
ate" 1t is true to say that from such a be-
trsyal NAV be expected the "well-deserYed
vengeance that will remit the party to de-
feat for an indefinite period to come"
II, in the teeth of such protest, the only
men who have any strength with the Demo-
cratic Legislators, are the millionaires, will
it not be fresh demonstration that among
the professional politicians on the Demo-
cratic as we'll as on the Republican side, the
only argument that is recognized as effect
i've is that which brings to bear, in one
form or another, the power Of money.

TIPpoo TIB AND STANLEY.

The steps which have been taken in Zan-
zibar prove that Stanley has his eyes fully
opened to what has been long suspected,
that Tippoo lib, in his stronghold above
Stanley Falls, on the Congo, has been any
thing but the friend and ally of the Congo
Free State be was supposed to be. The
public condemnation of his course has evil
dently been held in allegiance till it could be
declared without peril to the expedition
from the Congo to the NyanEas; but it has
evidently been in reserve for some time.
The singular feature is that any other re-
suit could have been looked for. Tippoo
lib has the same motives for unfriendliness
to the strengthening of civilization in Gen.
trsl Africa that the slave traders of the same
rscs on the Upper Nile had for rising
against civilization there. While Stanley
was merely 3 mad explorer, from
the Arab point Of view, interfering
in no respect with the preservation
Of the ivory and slave trade, and the
Mahommetan adventurer ruled the Upper
Congo there was no need for collision; but
when civilization established an outpost at
Stanley Falls it was inevitable that pOten-.
tate whose power, religion and wealth all
favored the uninterrupted slave trade,
should attack it and drive away those who
would interfere with his traffic in ivory and
human flesh. To subsidize such a man and
place him in control at Stanley Falls may
have been temporary expedient to par
chase peace but to expect good faith and

PAUPER sUFFOcATIoK.

The calamity in England, by which rs
Of the boys in psuper school were sutfo-
Gated in the burning of the institution,
proves that calamities of that sort are not
confined to this country. Heretofore it has
been the general idea that the wholesale loss
of life produced BY fires in public institu-
ticus, which originate in carelessness and
are aggravated by faulty construction, were
peculiar to this nation. But the English
case indicates the presence of those causes
of destruction in an aggravated form.
Whether the English law will show itself
more vigorous than ours, in Furnishing those
who are responsible for such loss Of life,
remains to be seen. If not. it may be taken
as natural result that such calamities viii
multiply there, as they have done here.

rehearse the 100 supernumefaries needed in the

comedy, and is said to exhibit the best charac-

TIE COREANS IN WASHINGTON.
TrIbuIntIoHs of the Legation and Their
FOnduess for Society.

FOndness Tor Society
WASHINGTON January 1.-The members of
the Chinese, Japanese and Corean Legations
have great liking for society. The three
members of the Corean, Mr.. Ye Wan Yong,
Mr.. Ye Cha Yam and Mr.. Kang Sing, are
especially fond of going out When they
came here last winter they called every day
in the week. and went to every luncheon. tea
and reception. Unwilling this year to wait
until the formal beginning of the season,
they have already begun their rounds, Only
the secretary, Mr.. Ye Cha Yam, can talk Eng
lish, but they are all pleasantly received by
everyone except the servants. They called in
a body at the house of Supreme Court justice
on Monday, When they entered, the butler,
who CHANGED to be new eyed their cards with
disfavor. As they were about to enter the
drawing room door, he planted himself squarely
before them and said:
mo gemmen are lowed in de parlor with dey
hats on"
The hostess rescued the poor foreigners and
their treasured hats from the incensed butler.
Great visitors as the Oorean men are, their
wives are even greater. When they are not
calling they sit at the windows of the legation
and watch every street incident with the great
est interest. One of them was taken i'll with q
cold a short time ago, and when neighbor
asked for her, her husband graYely replied:
my wife, she sit at window to watch process
sion go by. She catch the cold. 1t is woman
like to sit aE window" he added, chuckling.
The good-hearted neighbor was interested in
the little Corean woman, and few days after
she met Corean who she thought was the
husband, and said:
'Ihope your wife is better to-day"
''Yes, she BETTER" he replied; ''she dead. Ne
a widow"
She had mistaken the widOweF of the corpse
for the husband, as the Coreans to American
eyes are as like as two peas.
