ArChse, however, wanted more, saying
that the 20 pieces we're lacking in
weight. The nObleman remarked,
"Prithee, let me see them again, for
there is one I would be loath to part
with, methinks." Archee, confidently
expecting an increase, gave the coins
back. His lOrdship proceeded quietly
on his way, remarking, 81 once gave

Families exchanged gifts among
themselves, and masters always re-
membered servants. The Elton boys
usually gave purses Of money to the
provost and master.
An old writer of nearly two centur-
les ago expressed the New Years senti-
ment of his time in the following ami
able manner: "If I send a New Years
gift to my friend, it shall be a token of
my friendship; if to my benefaotor, a
token of my gratitude; if to the poor,
which at this season must never be for
got, it shall be to make their hearts
sing for joy and give praise and adora-
ton to the giver of all good gifts"
Among the ancient and curious New
Years customs was one observed in
WestmOrland and Cumberland. Crowds
would assemble in market places in the
morning provided with "stangs" dong
staffs) and baskets. Whoever refused
to join the thrOng was hailed to the
public house without ceremony. The
men were forced to straddle the stangs
and the women were placed in baskets.
Nothing less than a sixpenee served to
liberate the prisoners finally. A stang
or cowl staff, was pressed into service
after Falstaf was bundled into the
clothesbasket by Mistress Ford.

NAY MEAN WAR.

The presidents special message on
boundary dispute between Great Brit
ain and Venezuela was such that the
friendly relations existing between this
and the mother country may be strain
ed and war possibly result.
The position taken is an American
one and which can be supported by
every patriotic citizen, irrespective of
party or political faith. The Monroe
doctrine is not only a barrier between
cur unguarded frontier and the armies
of Europe, but also the mantle Of pro-
lection that iDsures the safety Of the
small and weak republics Of Central
and South America from the greed and
arrogance and encroachments Of the
monarchies of Europe.
The Entertainments Of England on
weaker nations have become proverbiaI
and can be sptly applied to the present
instance. The dispute is Of long stand
ing because Of the failure Of England
to consent to settlement, and the en-
orOaohment has grown and extended
with time.
This ACKNOWLEDGEMENT has been in
violation of the spirit, if not the letter
of the tenets Of the Monroe doctrine
and in the name of that principle the
United States has called a halt and
England must obey the command OF
contest its authority by force Of arms
The position taken by the president
and Endorsed by senate, house and pee
pie admits OF no retreat from this side
War is a terrible thing to ooRtem-
plate, and when between the two great
branches OF the angle-sazon race, il
reaches a calamity; but, nevertheless

A NEW YEARS CHESTNUT.
Proper Beginning and End Of a Century
The Christian Era.

Proper beginning and End Of Century
The Christian Era.
Of course an article about the begin
ming Of the year could not be written
without some reference to that veneer
able and tiresome controversy as to the
proper beginning and end of a century
In other words, will the year 1900 be-
long to the nineteenth or the twentieth
century! A little thought will give a
clear answer to that question. The
first year Of the Christian era is known
in history as the year l and not as the
year 0. Therefore the first century be-
gan with the year 1 and ended with the
year leo. The second century began
with the year 1O1 and ended with the
year 200. The nineteenth century be-
gan with the year 1901 and will end on
December 81, 1900. And therefore the
the twentieth century win begin on
Janury 1, 1901. This is said by some
body at the beginning Of every year,
but there seems always to be just as
urgent a need Of saying it.
Speaking Of the Christian era, it
may be we'll to say that it was not in
use for 3 long time after the birth Of
Christ. It was suggested in the sixth
century by a monk named Denys, sur
named the Little, who lived in Rome
aud who, il may be observed, would go
by the name Of Dennis Little If be we're
living to-day. His suggestion was not
adopted until the year 500 and then by
Charlemsgne after his coronation. But
ia the calculations Of Denys adopted
at this time there was an error Of four
years, which is perpetuated in our
present date, the year 1895 being prop
eFiy the year 1899. It ismanifestIy i'm
possible to correct the error now, and
besides it is not a matter Of any real i'm
portance when our era began, the main
thing being that everyone should agree
on one date for it. Besides the civil
year and the solar year there are the
lunar year and the ecclesiastical year.
The lunar year consists Of y lunar
months, or S54 days, and is in use
among the jess and Mohammsdans.
The ecclesiastical calendar is luni solar,
being regulated partly by the solar and
partly by the lunar year The Hebrew
calendar is dated from the creation,

PROPORTIONAL REPRESENTATION.

PROPORTIONAL REPRESENTATION
If proportional representation is not
made an issue in our state and national
campaign next year, it certainly ought
to be. Our present method Of election
is the politicians stronghold. Adopt
proportional representation and be is
routed; his power is gone and the curse
of party spirit is destroyed. If ours is
a representative government, the peo-
pie who constitute it must be repres-
ented, but they are not. If an express
sion Of choice could be given ire
spective Of party, more than fOur-Afths
of the voters would declare for the free
coinage of silver at the ratio of Is to l,
and yet silver has been denied free
coinage, although both Of the old par
ties profess to be friends Of the white
metal. It is the determined purpose Of
the government to maintain a gold
standard.
The great body OF the people desire
many reforms, but there is no way to
reach them by the present method Of
nominating and electing candidates.
We call ours a popular representative
government. Every symbol of authori-
ty is professedly "frOm the people, by
the people, But every election re-
suits in the interests of the politicians
and the peoples interests are ignored
and disregarded. 1t is party control
and not peoples control. This is so
obvious that all but the pur-blind can
see it. Such a government is not a
peoples government; it is a govern
ment of the people by the politicians.
for the plutOcrats. ANY man who faV-
ots it is partisan slave, and any one
who tolerates, or is Indifferent to it, is
unworthy Of being an American citizen.

WANT MORE BONDS.

A greater contrast could not be i'm
agined than the language Of the presi-
dent in his special Venezuela message
and his latest suggestions to congress
in the matter of issuing bonds, except,
perhaps, the manner in which the two
messages were received by congress
and the people.
In the first, the president stands out
an American patriot, proclaiming for
justice even at the sacrifice of blood in
its attainment, and his action received
the support it merited from an appre-
ciative and patriotic people. In the
second he appears advocating a meas
ure inimical to the interests of the ma
ton and submissively cringing at the
feet of a power whose invasion is more
to be feared than the armies of CON-
bined Europe, and his suggestions met
the deserved fate Of reputation.
Many nation has been conquered
by the money power whose overthrow
could never have been accomplished by
the sword, and in this light the United
States now stands. Mr.. Cleveland, the
patriot, is ready to sacrifice upon wars
bloody altar in defense Of his nation,
or for the enforcement Of its princi-
pies, while Mr., Cleveland, the traitor,
welcomes a foe more deadly and more
merciless and bids it strike at the
vitals of an unsuspecting and defense
less race.
Interest is the objects of bonds, and
interest is the power that enslayes and
destroys the freedom of men and ma
tions, and from its CALLING and ever in
creasing chains there is no escape but
the grave.
Bonds will probably be issued, but it
will be done under the protest Of a
franehised public who have in their
hands the ballot which can scOurge
and punish the individuals OF party
under whose sanction the outrage is
perpetrated.

THE MAGIC BELL.

The old Old Year is dead, and hOaTy haired Tim
High in the BelfFy is tolling his knell
From the phantom rim Of magic bell
And the world is swayed By its mystic chime,
For Earth is the pOhdeIOus tongue that swings
In the tower Of time. The cathedral dim
Is the universe, and the bells huge rim
Is the ether blue as it rings and rings.
The chimes are the passions that sway mems
souls
That tempt and inspire them. The thought,
the deed,
On this New Years eve from earth dross
freed,
In one mighty vibration upward rolls.
And hushed are voices around the throne,
As the great creator receives His own.
