Notes From An Old Paper.

There fioated into the Office OF the
Telegraph" to-day a copy of The
PENNSYLVANIA Farmer" old, faded, be
grimmed and ragged and bearing date
of September % 1912, the year of the
famous war wherein General Jack
son gave the British Yankee beans at
New Orleans, as the old song has it
This ancient newspaper was printed at
Lancaster, as was proper, for Lancaster
is the greatest farming county and the
richest county in the world, according
to the statisticians who have gathered
the facts and know what they are talk
about. 1.-THE paper four columns
wide and about sixteen inches long,
and there is very little home news in it.
On the first page is Summary OF
Facts" from the New York Statement
in which President Madison is roundly
abused for going to war. An article
from the Albany Register asks rs it
not little singular that we can secure
no official intelligence of the proceed
ings of our western army excepting
through the enemy2 1t is now nearly
a month since the surrender of Detroit
by General Hull, and yet we remain
entirely ignorant of the causes which
led to this disastrous and humiliating
event" Think of it. Detroit captured
and nobody knows how and why a
month after the capture. But this
was eighty five years ago Things are

The New York Sun takes very hopeful
view OF the coming Of prosperous times. 1t
says: "This new year has opened with q
far more hopeful prospect than this coun-
try has had at any time since 1892. The
improvement In business which succeeded
the election in November and the defeat OF
meliep forces combined for an assault on
the national credit and prosperity have been
decioed and pervssive. Yet we have had
only the beginning Of the great revival Of
enterprise and activity which manifestly is
going to mark the closing years Of the
century. The holiday trade Of last month
offered a good test to the one prevailing In
tte community and the buoyant spirit
aroused by the triumph Of Mr.. Mckinley.
That trade, as we hear from all sides, was
OF unusual volume, the extraordinary de-
msnd extending from articles Of small cost
to articles of the greatest luxury and ele-
gance."
