THE NEW YEAR.

Could We but glance the new year Ger,
Its hidden depths unveil,
Look GU the blessings safe in store,
Whose mercies never fail;
Gould we but see the happiness
The New Year seeks TO give,
Our daily lives to cheer and bless,
How gladly would we livel
Could we behold the grief and care,
The weary painful strife
Allotted as our richtful share
In each now year Of life;
Gould we anticipate the thorns
That in our pathway lie,
Before the smiling New Year dawns
How gladly would we diel
Yet ignorant Of all, we grope
With blind persistence, on
Upheld by patient faith and hope,
Each daily task is woni
A new years burden unconcealed,
Our inmost hearts benumb,
But sorrows one by one revealed
Are conquered as they come.

The committee, meeting April 2, 1892,
adopted resolution inviting all electors
without regard to past party utilization,
who favor pure, economical government
and a reduction OF taxes, whether collect
ed at the county seat or customhouse, to
the actual requirements of the govern
ment ecomically administered, to unite
with us in declaring anew our allegiance
to the principles upon which our govern
ment was founed, j. e., equal rights to
all and special privileges to none," and
in nominating candidates for Office
pledged to carry out these principles.
The committee desires that every
elector in each precinct who is interested
in the success Of these principles attend
the primaries to the end that a full repre-
sentation may he had at the convention
in order that its action shall be the hon.
est voice of the people-who are today,

eminent, crying aloud for relief from a

COMMUNICATED.

EDITOR HERALD: Not having reached
the hight from which, viewing with su-
preme cnntempt the things of this world,
can say, "Who steals my purse steals
trash" l yet do value above call that
possess, my good name" For this reason
l wish to refute report which is being
circulated; that is, that am Influenced
in my course as committee of one to se-
lect names for testing the delinquent
street assessments by personal animosity.
What is there to justify such an asser-
ton? All along have urged that the
weighty delinquents be first tackled, and
now that the matter is in my hands l in
sist upon it. knew how my course
would be misconstrued, but 1 am not
such a coward as through fear Of being
misconstrued, to turn from what to me
seems the path of duty.
Our city, burdened already with $9J,-
900 Of bonded Indebtedness, is asked to
take upon itself an addition of $40, 900,
while these men are indebted to over
half that amount. If, in I. esreclSless ex-
element consequent upon their efforts at
Initiating property values, they have en-
tangled themselves, there is no reason
why they should be allowed to shift their
burdens upon the city, or why their pro-
perry should not be dealt With as is usual
with such cases. There are some proper
ty owners who have my sympathy, as
they were entirely helpless to prevent the
impositions of these boomers, but the
men whose names appear upon my list
as persons whom it appears to me are
proper subjects against whom the city
should bring suit, were for the most part
the prime movers in this matter and de-
serve no sympathy. Without an effort
to cat the Gordian knot tied by the
"rustlers" the present council sits supine
ly bv inviting the bonds, regardless of
the expressions which must surely result
from their issue.
Before we accept the additional burden
let us see if we can lift what we now have.
I'VE have no funds tor current expenses,
is the cry. That is true; but who amorg
us would mortgage his property before at
least making an effort to collect what is
due him? several members Of the pres
ent council were in former councils and
it seems singular 10 me thew did not call
u halt before we reached the end OF our
tether. In voting bonds bear in mind
that with five per cent commission and
six per cent interest the bonds would
double in little over fifteen years, or,
in other words, 100000 today would be
$3.50, 900 fifteen years hence. If we 60 on
at this rate our property will be taxed
out Of existence before the bonds are
paid. JAMES STEWART.
