New Year Superstitions.

The following superstitions in connection
with New Year are still firmly believed in
various parts of England, Ireland, Scotland
and Wales:
On New Years morning go to a we'll or
fountain and leave an apple and nosegay,
and the water will keep fresh and be more
wholesome all the year.
It is bad luck to lend money on New
Years day.
Don't pay money out on New Years day
Put money away on New Years day,
And all the year you will have money to pay.
Before locking the door for the night on
New Years eve place a gold coin near it,
and let it remain there until the church
bells ring the next morning, and you will
have plenty of money all that year.
If you wash clothes on New Years day.
one of the family will be washed out of
existence before the year is out.
1t is unlucky to have woman to be
your first visitor on New Years day.
If dark complexioned man crosses your
threshold first on New Years day, you will
be prosperous; if a blond, unlucky, and
if redheaded man, dire disaster will surely
follow.
So strong is the belief in this last adage
in some places that dark complexioned
men are paid small gratuity to call early
and walk through the first floor of the
house, entering by the back door and leav-
ing by the Notwithstanding

There is significance worth the atten-
ton of the people of this state in the
fact that the candidates on the Dem
cratic state ticket who got the most
decided approval of the voters were
Gov. Peck, Treas'r John Hummer and
Atty Gen1 O'Connor. Gov. Peck and
Treas'r Hummer both polled more votes
than Mr.. Cleveland, Mr.. O'Connor but
200 less. Gov. Peck received more
votes than were ever before polled by
a candidate for office in this state
Mr.. Hummer received the largest plu-
rality among the candidates, S,032. Mr.
O'Connor plurality next largest 1908
The dreadful "gerrymandeIs" and the
interest cases seem to have been very
distinct advantages to the Democratic
candidates who were most abused in
connection with them, The people
are all right. When they see the line
drawn between dishonest practices and
honest regard for their interests they
sustain the cause of honest govern
ment and manifest their plain APPROX
al of honest officials. = The Lacrosse
Chronicle.
Without doubt, the honest state adj
ministration of the last two years has
greatly strengthened the Democratic
party in Wisconsin. We have heard

GOOD RESOLUTIONS.
A New Year Resolve to Do Better Is a
Step in the Right Direction.

A New Year Resolve to Do Better Is a
Step in the Right Direction.
1t is true, very possibly, that only one in
million of these resolutions ever amounts
to anything permanently. A month, a
week, day, may see the end of them and
the old sin or delinquency or habit may be
IN the ascendant again, sometimes, alas
Reinforced and stronger than before,
strong almost to the point of Indifference
as to its destruction on the part of him
''breaking his oath and resolution like a
twist OF rotten silk
What is the use? The question rises in
the mind of the owner of the broken reso-
luton; it can't be helped; the breaker was
made to break; it runs in the blood; he was
given the nature that experiences tempta-
ton; he was not given the strength to over
come temptation; you cannot change the
spots in the leopard; that is he; if you
want to change him, you want something
other than he, you don't want him; ances-
try is stronger than desire to do other
wise; it's of no use. And thus the trick,
the CUSTOM the wholly undesirable habit,
is left to run its race.
Yet that is but one possibility, and
when this stage of Indifference has not
been reached how well it is only to have
Hiaue CHe ieSOluIIon, Wneunef one Is sue
cessful in keeping it or not! Just as
hypocrisy is the tribute which vice pays to
virtue, SO the mere making Of the resolu-
ton implies the knowledge of wrong, and
of a right exceeding wrong, and to make
a determination to discard the wrong is
already one step toward embracing the
rights, in fact, embracing it's, while
being the resolve, also the carrying out of
the resolve, however little way. The re-
solve is the outcome Of the best part of
ones nature; the not keeping it is ones
weakness only.-Harper's Bazaar.

which have recently occurred in Mil

An Ancient Custom.

It seems that in the olden time it was
customary to give gloves as presents on
New Years day. As they were very ex-
pensive, quite often sum of money, called
glove money, was given instead Some
times parents and official persons were
presented with gloves by those who wished
to conciliate or find favor with them.
There is an anecdote about Sir Thomas
Moore, who, having decided a case favor
ably for a lady client, received from her on
New Years day pair of gloves containing
forty gold coins called angels He could
not refuse the gloves, but sent back the
coins with this note: "Mistress- it
were against good manners to refuse your
New Years gift, am content to take your
gloves, but as for the lining l utterly re-
fuse philadelphia Record.

There must be no relaxation Of the
campaign of education. Facts and
arguments must be presented with
trenchant and unremittent vigor from
now until 1894. The friends of hon
est and economic taxation must never
relax their efforts, but every means
and appliance for the distribution of
information must be INCREASINGLY oper-
ated. A defeat in 1894 and the can
didate of the tariff conspiracy will
have grasp that will be harder than
ever to unclasp. A victory and our
triumph is complete and assured
Madison Times.
Democrats should bear in mind that
while the campaign of 1892 is behind
us the campaign Of 1894 is before US
and will require the same earnest,
active, intelligent work which won
success last November. The best
work which Democrats can do at this
time, however, is TO impress upon their
representatives in congress the impor-
lance Of faithfully carrying out the
Democratic platform and the cam
paign pledges of 1892.

NEW YEAR MASQUERADES.
Like Many Other Customs They Are Re
minders of Paganism.


Like Many Other Customs They Are Re-
minders of Paganism.
The custom of masquerading at New
Year dates back to pagan times, long be-
fore the commencement of the Christian
era. The practice embraced two princi-
pies, homage and indulgence, and also in
cluded the making of friendly calls and
the presentation of gifts, and in spite of
all opposition this form of celebrating New
Year has, with some notifications, con-
tinued to the present day.
In the Fifth century the church began an
energetic crusade against this pagan prac-
tice." ST. Maximus, of Turin, raised his
voice against 1.-THE superstitious folly of the
LIST of January, when Christians put on
habits of intemperance and seek to fore
stall their friends with early calls in the
morning, bringing them petty presents as
New Year gifts, in the hope of receiving
something in return more valuable" st.
Peter Chrysolosus, bishop of Ravenna, also
denounced the custom, and to the excuse
offered that it was only sport, not sacri-
legious, replied: mo one can with safety
play with the serpent. Who can amuse him
self with impiety or joke with sacrilege?
Men dress themselves up like women, and
they put on their robes. They transform
themselves into beasts and monsters. A
man employs in this disguise all his ambi-
ton, as if he were sorry he were a man."
In the year sec, during the reign of King
Caribert, of Paris, the council of Tours
recommended the abolition of all pagan
superstitions in the land, and among the
practices SO denounced was that of men
Disgusting themselves as deer and other
animals, and running about the country
in various grotesques and committing all
sorts of follies." But in spite of all the
anathemas hurled against the custom the
Christians could not be turned away from
the ancient extravagances that marked
the calends of January. - Philadelphia

Some of the leading lawyers of Mil
waukee want the legislature to adopt
the Australian system of land trans
fers. If it should work anything like
the Australian system Of voting, the
Republicans might be dispossessed, not
only of the offices, but also of their real

islature will carefully consider the
matter before they enact any rash
legislation affecting land titles.
