People who were of a religious turn
OF mind, opened the Bible at ran
dom, and sought to read the future
from the first paragraph seen.
Ia Scotland, they took note of the
direction of the wind on New Years
eve; a south wind betokened warmth;
a west wind, good fishing and much
wind; when from the east, the fruit
trees will bear well, and from the north
or northeast, storms and cold and dis
aster. The Scotch kept watch-night
also. and as soon as the clock struck
midnight, drank each others good
health in shot pint" and the older
people, armed with bread and cheese,
and other eatables and turntables,
started out calling on their friends
The first party who arrived were warm
" welcomed, as it was supposed the
frst.footers," as they were called,
brought good luck.
When the Roman year was increased
to twelve months, the emperor, Tibe-
RUS, decreed that no gifts should be
exchanged, "except in the calends OF
January" when the senatorsswere ex-
pected TO come down handsomely. For
ages this was the rule throughout
Europe, and it is still customary IN
France and some other European coun-
tries to make a gift day of New Years
rather than Christmas. Courtiers
brought gifts to their monarchs, fami-
lies exchanged tokens of regard and
servants were always remembered
The Puritans gave New Years in
preference, regarding Christmas IS .
ssPopish" feast.
The rule Of a writer OF the seven
tenth century is not a bad one to OBJ
serve in the bestowal OF gifts at any
time. He says: ST I send a New
Years gift to my friends, it shall be a
token OF my friendship; If to my
b~enefactor, a token of my gratitude; il
20 the poor, which at this season mus
never be forgot. it shall be to make
their hearts sing for joy and give praise
and alteration to the Giver Of all goot
gifts"
Let US hope that the New Year thai
dawned yesterday will bring cause fol
gladness and thanksgiving, and TIT
will to edo noble things, not dream
them, and so make life, death ant

NEW DAY.

In addition to letting the cakes burn,
Il should be remembered that good
King Alfred issued an edict to the effect
that for twelve days, beginning with
Christmas eve, there should be high
revelry throughout the kingdom.
Christmas day, New Years and
Twelfth night were celebrated with
ever more ieasting and hilarity thai
the intervening time, and the fun wax
ed until New Years and then waned
until Twelfth night.
Wassail was OF Saxon origin, ana
came later on to be called CLAMPS
WOOL though just why does not seem
clear; but the origin of the term "wooi
gathering" evidently comes from the
custom of carrying a wassail bowl
from door t 0 door, and serenading
those within until they brought their
donations OF hcme-brewed ale to fill it.
1t was considered bad luck to have
a woman the first to enter the house on
New Years morning, and to avert this
catastrophe the young men began the
custom of New Years calls which IL
now obsolete, though less than a quar-
ter of a century ago it was almost
universal among the fashionable PEG
pie.
In some parts of England the peas
ants used to carry something into tn
house-a clod or a stone, if nothinl

THE Populsts have been in CONT

THE Popullsts have been in control
Of Harper county for five years and
have made record which is a splendid
one. During the previous five years
the republicans ran the county at to-
tai expense of $50 ,673, an average of
$38, I34 per year. The last five years OF
Popullst administration has cost $751;
SIS, an average of $30,413 per year.
During these years the Populists have
bought and paid for the poor farm, the
poor house, and built fully as many
bridges as their predecessors did in the
previous five years. In 1887 the repub-
lican expense account reached SCI ,305,
and IN 1896 the POpulists only spent
500. 426-less than half as much. This
record Is being made, not in one county.
but in every county where Populists
have had control long enough to give
time for their efforts to bring results.
If this is the sort of way in which peo-
pie want public affairs conducted every
PopulIst ticket in the state should be
elected this year.-AdvOcate.

The seeds sown by Popu.
lism are terminating every
where. The nomination of
Henry George, the single-tax-
er and greenbacker, shows
that the people of even that
oriental city have been
brought to a condition where
it is necessary to think or
starve. The darkest hour is
just before dawn, and our
best thinkers predict that the
American people will wake
up to the necessity of saving
the race from the peril which
is now seemingly only a short
distance ahead, before many
more years have passed.
This advanced step taken by
SO many people of such a no.
torious hell.hole as New York

STAND By McGINNIs.

The Populists of the Second commits
missioner district should bear in mind
that j. B. McGinnis is the regular nom
inee OF the party for commissioner. Mr..
McGinnis is man against whose reou-
tatlon nothing can be truthfuiiy said,
and he will, if elected, make as good a
commissioner as ever sat on the board
in the county. John Wyer's candl-
dacy on the democratic ticket ought TO
have no weight with a single PopuIist.
In fact John Wyer is not in the race to
any extent. The next commissioner
will be either McGinnis, the Populist
candidate, or Nay, the republican can
didate, and if there are any Populsts
in the Second district who vote for MIR.
Wyer they will simply be assisting the
republican candidate. Mr.. Wyer does
not deserve the vote of any PopulIst in
the district. He went into the conven.
ton and was defeated fairly. He went
to McGinnis before that convention
and entered into an agreement to the
effect that he would abide by the decis-
ion Of the convention. And this was
done on Wyer's Own suggestion. But
no sooner had he been defeated than he
began setting up pins for nomination
at the hands of other parties and sue
ceeding in getting the democrats to
take him. We do not know what mo-
tive actuated him, but it does not re-
fleet credit on him, to say the least. He
does not only disrespect McGinnis but
Overrides the wishes of his own party.
He has put himself on record as a boil.
ter of the worst type. He does not
hope to be elected but expects to draw
enough Populist votes from the Popu-
list candidate to elect Mr.. Nay, the re-
publican. POpulists can elect Mr.. Nc
Ginnis by refusing to lend their influ-
ence to Wyer, the bolter.
