A New Year.

The year Of Our Lord, 1896, opens in
Washington with bright and beautiful
day The clear skies should be taken as a
favorable omen. q s.gI Of prosperity. a
token that the sun of happiness will shine
continuously on this nation and its breth-
rem N the great family of the world
throughout the coming year. The present
prospect IS bright enough to warrant this
hope. There are troublous conditions con-
fronting many of the nations, but there are
honorable ways out of all such difficulties
and the year 1896 should close with
faire-, cleaner record than any Of it's pre-
decessors in the worlds history has ever
Known The people of the District of Co
iumbia are in grateful mood for benefits
bestowed during the year that has just
gone and they look forward to a continr-
ance Of the general improvement in all the
AFFAIRS Of life in the coming twelvemonth.
In material ways Washington has adj
vancad and there have been additions to
the comforts and eonveniences of the citi-
zens- At the beginning of the year just
passed there were grave possibilities of an
epidemic of a Destileutial disease, but the
danger was happily averted. Later In the
year another malady made it's appearance
among the people, but that, too, was checked
by wise precautions. Notwithstanding
these two threatened epidemics, the death
rate of the year was tvs and one-half be-
low the normal. showing a general better
men; in hygienic conditions.
In numerous other ways there has been
advancement as described in detail else
where in this issue of The Star. The street
railway facilities of the District have been
improved in a great measure and citizens
are now better than ever before supplied
with modern means of transportation
Many things have been done by the all
therities to make the daily lives of the in
habitants of the District, numbering fully
21o,oo0, more &C comfortable, and while there
have been certain actions justly subject to
criticism, yet the general tendency has
been toward good government The fame
Of the city as well-erdered, modern NUM-
cipaiity has gone abroae and it's popular
lily among the people Of all sections of the
country has spread in constantly increas-
ing ratio Conventions have been held here
during the year representing every ike of
human effort. every religious creed, every
shade of political belief almost every
branch of mechanical IL genuity and sc.en-
tine research, and the worlds store of
knowledge mas been increased by the ut
terances in II is city of many men wise in
their respective fields of investigation The
tendency of national organiza tons to make
Washington their permanent meeting place
and headquarters has been notably on the
increase, and the day when the National
Capital viii be generally recognized as the
true convention city of the country has been
brought nearer.

for fractional discrepancy by e1fmfnat-

Thus the twentieth century woman starts
on her career with handicap. She must
forego the privilege conferred upon her by
the custom thar is believed to have had its
origin during the fifth century. when st.
Patrick was CEristianizing Ireland and in
esdentaliy driving out the vernain. The
legend runs that having accomplished this
mcst praiseworthy feat. the holy man was
walking along the shores of Tough Neash
when lie was addressed by st. Bridget,
weeping becatese. there vas mutiny in
the institution over which she presided
Her charges had claimed the right to pop
the question" st. Patrick acknowledged
the general justice of their demands, and
said he would grant the right to propose
every seven HI year st. Bridget protested
that her girls; would never be content with
such proposal. Whereupon ST Patrick
agreed to reduce the time to four years
and offered, IN the bargain, to select leap
year, the longest year OF ALL as that in W hich
women might propose. That identical year
being provided with an extra day, St.
Bridget Immediately inaugurated the Gus
tom by proposing to ST. Patrick. who, CT
eCurse. declined in Difference to his priestly
occupation. ST. Bridget protested that this

promise was finally reached by which st.
Patrick escaped from matrimony by giving
kiss and silk gown. which for CEN
turtles formed the penalty paid by man
who declined woman's proposal.

The Great BOND Syndicate.

There seems to be no longer any doubt
that. acting presumably under an inspira-
ton from Washington, Banker Morgan
has organized a syndicate for the sale of
gold to the government or, In other terms
for the purchase of bonds from tine treas
my, which are practically the same opera
TONS The most credible reports are to
the effect that the syndicate is prepared
to buy 500, OOO. 600 worth of bonds at short
notice, and the belief is growing that there
Is an arrangement of more or less official
character whereby the syndicate is to be
recognized by the administration whenever
gold is needed. Secretary Carlisle is re-
ported as having given assurances to GER
tain democratic Senators that there will
be no bond issue as long as the Senate
gives any indications of an intention to
act upon the Presidents recommended
tiens, but the impression is definitely fixed
in tn, public mind that the Secretary has
made an arrangement with the Morgan
syndicate whereby a bond issue will be
entirely absorbed by the subscribing mem
hers Immediately after its announcement
1nere may be a delay in the issue of the
bonds, but the present tendency Of things
is 10 make a sale certain and to make it
equally certain that the Morgan syndicate
AuthhSl LIE Soid tndC tAe treasury
needs. The fact that so large a sum as
sasaeo0.e00 Is fixed upon being practically
four times as much as the reserve now
needs for it's replenishment, is taken as
evidence Of desire on the part Of the
President to secure a lien on enough gold
to prevent any material impairment of the
reserve during the remainder Of his pres
ent term of office. It is now considered
probable that the horizontal tariff bill
under consideration in the Senate finance
committee may pass the Senate and go to
the White House for the Presidents con-
sideration. If the republican position be
correct 1.-The gold Withdrawals would be
checked as socn as the revenues of the
treasury e1ualed the expenditures. The
republicans would expect th. Presidents
action upon tine revenue tariff measure, in
signing or vetoing 1t, to have a decided
effect upon the amount of gold-supplying
bonds 1t would be necessary to issue

From the New York World.
Mr.. Morgan proposes, in substance, to get
the bonds which he thinks the government
must sell to him alone, for about los 81
of the same class that are now selling In
the open market for III 1-2. He would
thus make for his syndicate a profit of
nearly $11,oOOOO0 on the first $780, 600, GEO.
and as much more on the second issue II
the government can again be cornered
within the year and should Congress dc
nothing for it's relief.
This is very pretty scheme as it stands
It is cold-blooded business on the part
of Mr.. Morgan and his syndicate. Wall
street does not doubt that the President
will surrender Is the Senate Indifferent
to the situation? Is the government really
at the mercy of one Individual?
