New NoLUME.-Wc once more turn the
first Leaf of a new volume. Volume Xxx has
been completed and it records faithfully the
HISTORY of this locality. In some respects the
past yeai has been an exceptional one in the
experience of The CLARION itself: not that
it has wrought exceptionally for itself or its
constituency, nor that it has met Scyla and
turned to find Charybdls, yet it has under
gone one novel experience, novel at least to
| TIE CLARION, in this, that it has been pro-
scribed by some on account of the personal
political views of its editor. Prior TO our
men of greater activity. more cul

personal interest in politics than we have cv.
er cared to cvlncc, but THE CLARION had al

ever, 1t has enjoyed the novel experience of
beng held responsible by few of the decd
eddy lesser lights for the personal views of its
editor. 1t has not been wholly Il misfortune
that such should have occurred I'VE have sur
viyed it and in repayment for our loss of
prestige among the workings, we have the
exceeding proud possession, the knowledge
that those who are recognized as first citizens,
men Of intrinsic worth rs citizens, hive evi-
denced u breadth OF view that leaves us stand,
with them, upon the spacious American
platform OF Independence of action and free
speech. We refer willingly to this matter,
to the end that we may call pronounced at.

had and will have naught TO do with politics

assert nor demand rights or privileges to do
go would be absurd they belong to him and
in his own particular way lie Will enjoy them.
1t is best that we understand each other,
50 TINT the coming year may have no more
surprises, small or great, of this character
in store tor us. TIE CLARION has under its
present management lab"rcd successfully in
local interests it il its duty, its wilingl y uu-
ieralcn duty and it is not to be DETECTED
from its chosen path, even though through
