toll the church-bell sad and slow
And tread softly and speak low
For the old year lies a-dying."
Before another issue of the KEY
STONE greets its readers, the year
1894 will have passed down the
dark corridors of time and another
ray from life's sun sent on its mis-.
sion through the space of eternity.
There's new foot on the floor
And new face ut the door"
The New Year stands before US
Though it is laden with bright hopes
and untrodden efforts, we would
fain linger in the portals of the past
with its garlands Of love and joy
its ashes of grief; yet We cannot
pause, though reluctant, time hur-
ries US on, and we are upon the
threshold of 1895.
The year that will soon DO num-
bered with the past, has been one
ofregret and disappointment to the
nation. Our country has suffered
in the d readful throes Of financial
dissolution; want and hunger have
stalked hand in hand through the
land, causing men and women to
grow desperate, yes, even bereft
them Of reason, and in such a mo-
menthave committed the most ter
rible Of deeds.
War, revolution and strife have
reigned throughout the world.
The greatest atrocities Of the age
have been perpetrated. The people
have looked to the heavens for a
eign of relief and found it not, and
bowling their heads have waited to
hear mingled with the notes Of the
bells ringing out the requiem o.
the old year, o new strain that
breathcs of hope, tells Of strife
soothed to peace, and hatred
quenchcd in forgiveness.

The Columbia Desk Calendar.

For ten years the desk calendar
issued by the Pope Manufacturing
Company has held unique place
among business helpers. Each
daily leaf during that time has
taught its quiet lesson of the value
of better roads and outdoor exer-
else, and especially the benefits of
bicycling. The calendar for 1895.
which is just issued, is even brighter
than its predecessors in appearance,
as clever artists have added dainty
silhouette and sketch to the usual
wise and witty contributions that
have heretofore given this popular
calendar its charm. 1t can be had
for five 2 cent stamps from the Pope
Manufacturing Company, Hartford,
Conn, or from any Columbia BIZ,
cycle agency.

The fate Of all tariff legislation, and
especially the so-called popgun tariff
bills and the measure intended to rem
edy the error in the alcohol clause of
the bill, was practically sealed by
discussion had by the senate finance
committee Tuesday morning. Mr..
Voorhees,, finance committee, is un-
sderstood to have taken some strong
grounds against any more tariff leg
islation this session. Republicans
were of the same opinion. It was ap
parent that any effort to take up the
supplemental bills would be the signal
for opening of the whole tariff ques-
tion, and the democratic members of
the committee admit that they are
powerless to do anything.

FROM THE PRESIDENTS MESA GE.

The message opens by reference to
tries and shows a condition of peace
with all the world. There are some
disputes and claims to be adjusted
Reference is made to the Eastern war
and to the fact that this government
offered mediation between Japan and
China. The facts in regard to the es-
tablishment of a new order of govern
ment in Hawaii is referred to without
many comments. The trouble at Blue
fields was adverted to. Some COM
plant is made with Spanish authori-
ties for iuj ustice in regard to the i'm
portation of American goods in Cuba.
This government has been trying to
bring the Turks to time for assaults
on American missionariesin Armenia,
Sanonian affairs, and an account is
given of an attempt to adjust matters
there without detriment to the inter-
ests of this country. Referring to the
financial condition, the president
quotes from Secretary CarEsle's re-
port:
The deficit for the fiscal year is

culating notes not exceeding in
amount rs per cent of their paid up
and unimpaired capital, provided they
deposit with the government as a
guarantee found in United States legal
tender notes, including treasury notes
of 1890 a sum equal in amount to 80
per cent of the notes they desire to
issue, this deposit to be maintained at
all times, but whenever any bank re-
tires any part Of its circulation pro-
portional part Of it's guarantee fund
shall be returned to it; to permit the
and keep on hand ready for issue in
case an increase in circulation is de-
sired blank national bank notes for
each bank having circulation, and to
repeal the provisions of the present
law imposing limitations and restrict
ions upon banks desiring to reduce Or
increase their circulation, thus per-
mitting such increase or reduction
within the limit of rs per cent of CAPT
tai to be quickly made as emergencies
arise.
In addition to the guarantee fund
required, it is proposed to provide a
safety fund for the immediate re-
demption of the circulating notes Of
failed banks by imposing small an
nual tax, say one half Of p. c. upon
the average circulation of each bank
until the fund amounts to p. C. Of
the total circulation outstanding. 1t
is further provided that there shall be
no national bank notes issued of a less
denomination than $40; that each ma
tional bank, except in cases of a fail
ed bank, shall redeem orretire it's not
es in the first instance at it's own Office
or at agencies to be designated by it,
and that no fixed reserve need be
maintained on account Of deposits.
Another very important feature Of
this plan is the exempting of state
banks from taxes by the United States
in cases where it is shown to the sat-
isfaction of the secretary of the treas
ury and comptroller of the currency
by banks claiming such exemption
that they have not had outstanding
their circulating notes not exceeding
seventy-five per cent Of their paid up
and unimpaired capital; that their
stockholders are individually liable
for the redemption of their circulating
notes to the full extent of their own
ership of stock; that the liability of
said banks upon their circulating
notes constitutes under their state
law a first lien upon their assets, that
such banks have beeh kept ana main 80
tanned a. guarantee fund in United
States legal tender notes including
treasury notes of 1890 equal to thirty
per cent of their outstanding circulat-
ing notes and that such banks have
promptly redeemed their circulating
notes when presented at their princi
pal or branch Offices.
The message abruptly ends as fol-
lows: II conclude this communica
ton, fully appreciating that the re-
sponsibility for all legislation affect
ing the people of the United States
rests upon their Representatives in
congress-, and assuring them that,
whether in accordance with recon-
I have made or not, I
shall be glad to cooperate in perfect
ing any legislation that tends to the
and welfare of our coun-
try"
