numbers. 1t may be only condolences,
but to the Church Of Jesus Chli,t OF

LICENSE COLLECTIONS

The NEWS ia informed thai some
people have an Idea that the RESPONSE
billy for deficiencies in license col.
lections In the city resta entirely upon
the present incumbent Of the eflice
which has the business in charge. For
the enlightenment of those who take
that view we will say that such ia not
tho case. 1t 10 with tho collection
system, which has been growing for
year.; and the condemnation IL for
the system, not for my particular
officer. The present incumbent has
been In official duty only year, yet
tho Rrrearages oomplaiuei Of, by
which the city is deprived OF large
amount OF revenue, have been accu.
mulaling for several years. The legal
require mont Is to collect licenses in
advance. Owing to the circum.
stances OF the licensee, It has
been customary to allow the
collector 10 exercise discretion in
extending time for payment a little
beyond the arbitrary date, as such
leniencs was much more desirable and
beneficial than rule which would
force psOple out OF business. So for the
custom was good, as shown by many
ysars' experience. But in connection
herewith thore has grown up a
system, also covering some years,
Of extending time beyond reason
able period to some who importuned
for the came, and the result
has been to the city'a injury, as stated
yesterday. 1t isthis system that needs
to be changed, and changed quickly.
It probably could be done as readily
Without as with separate officer; but
1t needs the backing OF the City Coun.
ell for any oGiee to inaugurste the
desired reform. A llcensee ought to
pay his fees at least within the pe-iod
covered by his license.

A HAPPY NEW YEAR !!


Ere the NEWS has the privilege oil
appearing again, the year 1897 VIII
have been ushered In, and upon the
auspjc,ous outlook we send heartlesl
greetings and well Wishes to all our
friends for their increased prosperity
and happiness. Our fair uiah haa
rounded out within few days Its ilrs1
year as full a edged State in the great
American Union, and pressnts graf
lying record, in comparison Win inc
early experience OF her sister slates'
There have been Instances where,wlIh
the added wisdom OF experience, some
Improvement might have been made;
but take 1t all in all, there is every
reason to feel grateful that things have
been SO well. Regarding the future
there are some conditions that are mol
exactly up to the ideal of the people;
there are some doubts in the financial
field; there are some uncertainties In
other directions. But there Is more
than an offset to all these In the good
foundation OF the present and the
bright prospects now before us. Inc
future is more full OF promise OF gooo
to this State than has been the In.
auguration OF many year In the past.
True, 1t will take Intelligent, energetic
united efforts to attain the iull iruition
Of reasonable hopes for the year 1871
But such Efforts are characteristic Of
the people here, therefore the anlici-
patton that they will be maintained
gives every promise OF fulfillment. It's
not an over.erthusiasm to say that the
year 1897 comes to us with tenders oil
brightness, happiness, prosperity and
progress not surpassed by any
OF it's predecessors since these
valleys became the home OF civiliza-
ton; and in this welcome and
revivliying augury Of the future the
News extends TO the people Its most
cordial congratulations and wishes for
A BRIGHT AND HAPPY New YEAR
that shall bring 10 them all the
progress that can be desired toward
that which is great and good and true

SPREAD OF THE GOSPEL.

1t will bs gratifying to the Latter.
day Saints to contemplate that during
the year just closed the preaching OF
the Gospel at home and abroad has
been attended with most satisfactory
results. In every mission OF the
Church material advance 10 reported,
both In the bearing OF the message and
In Its reception by the people. In all
quarters the disposition to treat
tho Elders kindly and to listen
respectfully to their message has
been manifest even to a greater
extent than the previous year; and
the result has been apparent in very
large increase in the mem 6ership OF
the Church in all foreign missions.
AT home, also, the Improvement has
been marked, and this close OF the year
comes with q showing of increased
Interest In and attendance at meet
ines for religious worship, of
much more attention being shown
by the young people than for
merry, of O largely augmented active
membership In the Church, and Of
great improvement in its record OF
observance to requirements generally.
All this has come Notwithstanding an
agitation instituted, foslefej and en-
Outraged by enemies OF the Church,
and listened to by some whose lack OF
information or understanding was n
means of leading them iuto mistakes.
In the whole field OF Church opera
tions, and in every department. thereof,
there has been Progress in
many respects marvellous, and to
the Saints highly rcouraging. The
| gratifying record Of 1928 ought to
serve as an Incentive for renewed
zeal and 10 creased energy in the great
and important DUTY OF spreading q
Knowledge OF the Gospel at home and
abroad, and bringing all the honest in
heart in practical accord Herewith,
that they may live cody In Christ
Jesus and receive the reward of the
faithful.

THE OLD YEAR AND TIE NEW.

The year that Is Just passing into
history leaves to the incoming year at
least two difficult problems to deal
with-one In the Old World and one
10 the New. There 1t is the Turkish
question; here 1t is Cuba. Both prob.
ably will have to be dealt With, and
what the results will be upon the gen.
eral history of the world. only the
iulure can make clear.
The difficulty In Turkey 10 such that

Russia that II the cZar should allow
Roman Catholic power to take pos.
session Of the Holy land, 1t would In
all probability cost him his throne.
Nor can France bo indifferent to the
establishment Of powerful Russian
station at Constantinople. from which
the Gear might dominate the Mediter-
rsneau. The sultan understands the
situation perfectly well and 60 far he
has met all warnings with
evaslv0 replies or promises made
TO be broken. He has watched
the gathering OF fleets in the Darda-
nelles with perfect equanimIty and
continued his reign of terror.
1t is perfectly clear, however, that
the denouement Of the great Ottoman
drama is coming. The years die

drive out the dearer metal. In 1884 the
government reversed things. By taking
out some of the gold from the gold dol
lar it made the silver dollar more valu-
able than the gold dollar. The difference
was about per cent, but it was enough
to drive out the American silver dollar
entirely. In neither case was the differ
ence in value anything like what it will
be with coinage under existing circum-
stances at the 10 to l ratio. How then
can any sane man who Is familiar with
our past experience expect to keep gold
in circulation if we enter upon the free
coinage experiment.
The Portland daily press., 1896-08-04

The Democrats assemble at Wateryille
tomorrow to I'LL the vacancy caused by
the declination of Mr. E. b. Winslow
and endorse Bryan and Sewall. 1t seems
to be a foregone con Inclusion that the gold
wing Of the party will make no cppo-
sition to the nomination of free silver
candidate, or to the endorsement of the
Chicago ticket, but there is choice
among tho gold men as to what particu-
lar silver candidate shall be selected, and
they intend to make themselves felt in
this direction. There are four men
talked of for the nomination-Mayor
Hanson, Of Belfast, ex-Gov. Plaisted, of
Augusta, Hon. M. P. Frank, of Port
land, and Col. James M. Stone, of Ken
nebunk. Hanson has been assiduously
fishing for the nomination since the Chi
oago convention adopted free silver but
his attacks on Mr.. Winslow have made
him exceedingly obnoxious to the gold
men, and he is sure to bs knitted by
them. Plaisted has the prestige of hav-
ing lead greenbaok campaign to a suo-
cessful termination, but there is gener-
al feeling that his age and his health
unfit him for leading this year. Col.
Stone is supported chiefly by him
self. MIR. Frank is probably less
obnoxious to the men who are op-
posed to free silver than Hanson, who is
his only formidable rival, and will I'M
doutbedly secure their votes in preference
TO the latter, while he bids fair to get
also the vote of the silver men from the
western and middle portions of th 6
State. His chances for carrying off the
nomination must therefore be regarded
as decidedly better than those of any of
the other candidates. Should Frank be
nominated, in the event of Bryan's cleo
tion he would be the most conspicuous
Democrat in the State and would natu.
rally have good deal to do with the
patronage. This he understands perfect
ly well, and it constitutes probably the
chief reason why he wants the guberna-
torial nomination.
