QEl Gt,5 Give it glorious and
hearty welcome. With
new resolutions, new hopes and new ambi.
tions let us start over again and be somebody
among some people, forgetting and forgiving
their offences, past sorrows and past vices
Upward and onward should be our watch
word to conquer and live our passport
The year just waning has had its victories
and its defeats What of the new one just
dawning2 Starting out with new resolutions
too many should not be made-only to be
broken. One well made and well kept is
worth hundred contracted in sillyness and
broken in hastiness and-nastiness.
We should remember that all Of us are too
prone to err; and we should resolve to
reform ourselves in order to reform our
brethren. To that end let us give the public
the news in aperfect shape and our criticisms
in charitable and well-meant style.
ALMsHoUsE MISTAKES.
Down below Schuylkill Haven there is an
institution called the Almshouse, kept and
maintained by the taxes collected from the
people for the support of unfortunate paupers
and managed by three directors elected by
the people. Next year this Board will con.
tain Messrs, Ebling Bergan and Derr, three
fairly good representati of the solid
yeomanry Of our county. They are just now
preparing to select their subaltens and lay
down new rules and regulations Steward
Limerick is to be retained-so is the present
stewardess; and with the exception of a
change in the physicians, all the former
incumbents are to hold over. w. f. Shep-
herd, Esq, is to be chosen solicitor again
although George J, Wadlinger, Esq, is giving
him a lively tussle for the place For cur
part we don't care who gets it. The public
will be still safe and it wont benefit the
pauper one bit the more, whoever wins. Mr.
Shepherd has been a good solicitor and
counsellor and Mr.. Wadlinger will make Just
as good a one, no matter if he is over-ambi.
tious. George has been a candidate for
many things, judge, national position at
the last Democratic state convention, and a
member of the county standing committee,
and is now said to aspire to the county
Democratic craftsmanship as well as poor
house lawyer, All of us have rights to
aspire-few of US get there. For goodness
sake, let he who asks, ,Ieceive-everything he
wants.
But let the directors make no mistakes
next year, 1t is said every visitor who calls
gets his dinner, little stimuent and a cigar,
if he wants one. Yet recently Steward
Emerich shut down on feeding some Demo-
cratic plumbers who were putting in some
good work at the House and made them bring
their own dinners-while hundreds of callers
got all they wanted without asking, during
the past year, Now is good time to i'm
prove on last years follies. The food sup
piled and paid for by the people is for the
poor of hhe House, andl Steward Emerich
should begin now and turn off the spiggot of
his kindness with the taxpayers supplies.
PEACE AND PROSPERITY.
Above all let us strive for peace, prosperity,
profession and plenty of pertinent pointers to
push us into prominent positions. These are
noble aims. They will be the HERALD's
your scribe's, and should be the readers. All
are gained by attention to details The
HERALD for ninety three will be a paper
which should be welcomed in every house
hold, office, counting-room, and public place
Learning as we age your scribe will endeavor
to educate and elevate in his periodical
letters while he win strive to emulate and
alleviate; emulate his superiors in the pro-
fession and thereby alleviate the troubles of
the people in their search for truthful news,
by giving everything that is important to
tell and emitting to record all that which
does not entertain and enlighten Prone to
err-as have said, all of us are-we may
fail, but to try to improve is our one new
resolution for the new 'ninety-three. The
reader can aid us materially and thereby
reform himself and herself and all his and
her relations. And first of all let everybody
subscribe for the HERALD and resolve to be
subscriber for life. This should be a new
resolution by the people who are not now on
the HERALD's roll of honor, Let them do
their duty and we will do ours.
