GREETING TO THE NEW YEAR.

Your hand, New Year, since we must conf
rades be
Through the strange circles of the seasons four!
Flooding in lonely paths mid drifting snow,
When days are dark and whirling tempests
roar,
VIII your strong guiding arm be round me
pressed?
And when the ice bars melt and warm blue
streams
Laugh in the sun and leap toward the sea,
VIII you then share my happy springtime
dreams
The waking songs that birds and poets know?
And when red roses burn on Bonded sprays,
And lovers roam through shadowy woodland
ways,
Will you keep kindly pace? And last, when
brown
Lie the sweet fields, and faded leaves come
down,
And we are tired both and fain to rest,
Will you be friends with me, still true and
near?
Then take my hand and heart, dear comrade

the latter country has one-third more

During the campaign of 1890 an old
Republican subscriber sent us curt
word to '.stop his paper. 1t troubled
US just little, at the time, for we es-
teemed him as an intelligent, honest man
one of those in whose good opinion
we desired to live. We obeyed his in
junction, and for several months gulf
of vacuity lay between the REGISTER
and its former friend and patron. A
few weeks ago we met him at the post
Office and he handed us the subscription
price, saying. lake, | guess you'd
better put me on your list again" ad-
ding, as we came down the street,
''but wish you wouldn't SO often call
us Republicans liars - We acknowl-
edged that courtesy was always good
thing to have in stock, and that per-
haps the REGISTER, under provocation,
had been a little vehement at times.
But, now, in all candor, we ask that
old friend and subscriber, as well as
all the world, what other than the
epithet above referred to can be ap-
piled to the man or League of men who
manufacture such 'sfacts and figures as
are given in the Nuts for Free Trad
ers to Crack?r We absolve Bro. Cundiff
and the other Republican country edit
ors from intentional mendacity in this
connections: they merely give the fig
ures furnished by the League. But,
hereafter, brethren, before publishing,
consult your books of reference that
you may be both truthful and happy.
