Notwithstanding it was a cold day, with an icy chill in the air, there were many ladies out shopping and some of the stores did quite lively business among buyers of articles for New Years gifts.
 The lower old green was lively place again all day yesterday and evening up to
 o'clock, being alive with merry skaters,
 mostly young people. To-day, itis hoped,
 will be happyNew Year for all irrespec- tive of race, color or previous condition of inoclous desuetude.
 To-day at noon Mayor Sargent takes the oath of office at the city hall. A collation. follows. From 4 to 10 p. m. Mayor Sar- gent will hold reception at his house.

The Joy Bells peal out an- other young years birth.

All nall, New I ear
 May you bring us much of peace and joy; little of strife and sorrow. May you look as kindly on our shortcomings as your grey-headed predecessor.
 Again we start the new year with high hopes, light hearts and fresh resolves to do what we may to deserve the futures most gra- cious favor.
 Be there good or i'll in store for us in the coming months, we will meet neither pain nor plea sure at the halfnile stretch, but leave destiny to work its sover- eign will unaided or thwared by our puny efforts.
 The time is at hand in which to be up and doing. The sea- son for vain regret has fled. What we have Jeff undone we cannot now do, neither can we undo what we have done. It but remains to try and do better.
 Forward IS the watchword of the centuries. Posterity demands of each and all a swift, unwearied progress toward the goal of a civilization whose mighty out stretched arms extend to eter- nity's dim shores.
 Let us quit ourselves like men and at the close of another busy year be able to. indicate some noted landmark left behind to mark our pioneering passage over the plains of time.

The Mann er o. Tt.

The Madison Democrat frankly
ayows that the science of gerryman
der is to be displayed to the great
est advantage IN arranging new leg
islatiye districts for the benefit Of
democracy. Ii says, "the majority
is not disposed to lose any of the
advantage it now enjoys, and the
new deal will surely make the sen
ate two years from now much more
heavily democratic than it is now.
This end will be brought about by
utilizing the democratic hcld-oyer
senators TO the best advantage. For
example, Sank aud juneau, both re-
publican counties, constitute the
l4th district, which is represented
by Frank Avery, a republican. In
the apportionment Sank will probab,
ly be attached TO the Columbia
county district, represented by q
hold-over democrat, and Juneau to
the Vernon county district, similar
iy represented. BY these means
both of the republican counties will
not figure in the next sentorial elec-
lion at all. Senator Apple, q hold
over democrat in Racine county,
will probably take care of Kenosha
county, and Senator Burdge hold
over republican Of Rock, absorb
Walworth. As Walworth aud be
nosha constitute a republican dis
trict in which there would NATURAL
be al election two years hence, the
republican strength there is thus
completely nullitied. And this sya
TEN will be pursued all over the
state. The result will be that the
next senate, IN which there will be
~ hold,over democrats, will prob
ably have a democratic majority Of
ten or twelve where it is now only
five. But in thus making up districts
the republicans will have great
advantage in the election four years
hence. But at that time there will
be no United States senatorship t.
gain. Two years from now there
will be, and every nerve will be
strained by democrats to hold the
legislature then" Great is reform.
