The Last of the Old \, ear and the First OF
the Now.
the N ew.
.1uant0 Journal.

J0HTndl
By the way, l saw good thing in
the Atlanta Journal the other day by
! the editor. 1t was but paragraph
from him. Itsaid that Santa Claus was
great old humbug and fraud that he
gave all his big. nice presents to folks
who didn't need then. My, how
much truth there was in that one
paragraph. Just think of the watches
and jewelry and walking canes and
umbrellas and cut glass and diamonds
and so on and so on that are given to
folks who do not need them, and many
cottage hut and hovel without a
thing to cheer or comfort or bless.
There is more real, permanent pleas
ure in a sack Of flour and ham of
meat or a turkey sent to the hearth
stone of the poor than there is in a
thousand dollar solitaire given to a
society woman. l like old Santa
Claus, but he ought to reform his
methods and give his good things and
his costly things to the poor folks, and
those who can buy let them make
themselves presents to their own lik-
ing. I have enjoyed the Christmas
holidays. I enjoyed the dinner with
the young men Of my town who | had
invited to my home. 1t was pleas
ure to have the boys with me and get
close to them, for after all my two
boys make me akin to every mothers
and fathers boy in all this land.
But back to the subject. The new
year begins tomorrow. If every man
would go through the year as we'll as
he starts tomorrow it would be the
greatest year in the worlds history.
A man who can do right day can
do right forever. n man who can
keep resolution day can keep it
forever. A man who can make re-
cord one day right can make the re-
cord of all days right. This way of
starting in every 12 months TO be and
to do and run for day or two all
right, and then lapse back into the
same lazy state Of things argues chat
manhood is lacking aud strength Of
character played out. See to it that
the follies and the sins of the past
shall be repeated no more, and remem-
Der that God does not say "Well be-
gun" nor "Well carried on, but
"Well done," ''well finished" "well
rounded out. "Well done, thou
good and faithful servant: enter thou
into the joys Of thy Lord. Oh, if
We could see every politician reform
ed, every drunkard sobered up, every
idler go to work, every gambler reform
his life and start in to make an honest
living and to stick to it; every Office
holder doing his duty every free sill
yer man think more and talk less
every unhappy man made to rejoice
every sinner made saint l would
love to live in world reformed. The
argument goes if the world was re-
formed We preachers would lose our
jobs; but here is one preacher that
would be willing to 60 on farm and
plow bull if my neighbors would all
behave themselves while | was plow
ing him.
We can do better and We had better
get at it tomorrow and stick to it. \ =
happy new year to everybody, and>a
thousand crowning blessings on every
home in all our land. All hail to the
new. year. SAM p. JONES.

The Boston Globe thinks that the bray-
cry OF Hobson and his men is magnifed
by the fact that Santiago harbor is filled
with man-eating sharks. 1t is a fact
though, that in a normal state sharks do
not attack moving objects, and then after
the explosion necessary to sink the Mer-
rlmac 1t is just possible that the sharks
in that immediate neighborhood were
busy for the time being in electing dele
gates to a convention to inquire into the
cause of the disturbance in their snm-
mer resort.
1t is reported that the CONSOLIDATED
California and Virginia Mining Com
pany has mad or about to make a pr,n-
osition to the miners that if thew will
work ten hours on a shift instead of
eight hours per day, for 81, as at present.
work will be continued i'm the mine with
two ten-hour shifts. If, however. the
miners reject the proposition, only one
eight-hour shift will be employed in the
mine hereafter, which will be equivalent
to laying off two-thirds of the present
wsrking force.-Bodie Index.

FORCES SHOULD UNITE.


The result of the Oregon election
continues to call forth considerable
comment and various explanation O.
how it happened. Goldbugs profess
to find a world of encouragement in
the returns, and the way the admin
istration organ twit the silver organs
about it, shows their immense salts
faction. They claim the Silver cause
is warning, and that the star OF
Hanna is in its ascendencv.
1t is but natural that Republicans
should rejoice over their Oregon vic
tory, and, if they mistake its cause,
the penalty of the error will iniure
no n else. But even goldbugs
make mistakes. In the opinion of
those who have kept track of the
Oregon campaign, who have watched
the influences at work on one side,
and the inharmonious fusion attempt
ed on the other, the result is a tisap-
pointment, perhaps, but no surprise.
1t is not easy for a great body OIL
men to stand together upon a poorly
constructed platform of misht planks,
one faction calling for this concess
ion, another faction for that. trv-
ing to mix incompatible doctrines,
quarreling over the precedence of
cherished hopes, contending for the
recognition of their respective cham
pions, and resenting every real and
imaginary slight.
There is only one way to accom-
plish anything for the cause of silver,
and hat is for everyone who believes
IN its free and unlimited coinage to
get together under one banner, to
lose sight of former affiliations to
Danish every lingering bit of preiu-
dice, and work to build up some thing
besides an Oregon political Babel.
In this connection the Salt Lake
Herald takes tae following view of
the matter.
If there Is no party organization in
eXlstanCe which stands for the free
coinage idea, as it is generally under
stood, then it is time for a party of
that description to be created. But to
get together and hold together one
organization which believes in the
protective tariff. another which be-
hat protection is a robbery,
and another that believes in the init
iative snd referendum, one that Cd
poses and another that favors the
tax, and where is the strength
of such a union.
The Chicago platform was broad
enough two years ago fol- every friend
Of silver. 1t is Just as broad now as
1t was then. The Democratic party
made all the concessions demanded of
it by the advocates of free coinage
Ii such concessions merit support,
the Democratic party is entitled to it.
If not what is any organization or
combinations of organizations, to ex-
pect from granting such CONCESSIONS

NEeorIATIoNs ARE OFF.

Washington, July 16,-It is now
learned that the situation is that the
Spaniards consent to surrender, but
insist on being sent back to Spain
with side arms. The American con-
ferees, on advice from Washington,
decline this request of the Spaniards.
1t is the understanding at this hour
that negotiations have been broken
off. The American army is to en-
force it's position with shot and shell
unless the Spaniards surrender their
personal arms.
No intimation was given at the
the White House as to what time
had been granted the Spaniards to
accede to the American ultimatum.
1t is understood that the Spanish
made final appeal to be permitted
to be instructed from Madrid.

The Spaniafds are to surren-

The Spaniards were disposed
to make trouble over the point
whether this would be consid-
cred surrender or evacuation
and whether they should give
up or retain their arms. The
matter was argued all morning
and was evidently for the sole
purpose of gaining time.

TO CALL GERMANY DOW n
Has Instructions to Give Them
Lesson In Handling Guns.

Washington, July 16. - Having
whipped Spain we are ready to whip
Germany if she desires fight. After
the arrival of the Monterey, Dewey
will enforce his orders in Manila bay
by cannon if necessary"
This is the decision the administra
ton has reached concerning the sit
uation in the Philippines, according
to high official authority.
The administration has grown
tired of the many annoyances and
insults to which Admiral Dewey has
been subjected. 1t hopes by the end
of the week that the admiral will be
in position to take the aggressive.
Admiral Dewey has reported to the
navy department in full the inter
ferences of the German feet in Ma
Mia bay.
In each case the insult was slight,
but in the aggregate the annoyance
has been great.
Instructions were cablsd to Dewey,
though they were scarce thought
necessary, to continue the same line
of action as at present until the ar
rival of the Monterey. Then he is to
take matters in his own hands, drop
diplomacy and become aggressive.
and if necessary fire into the Ger
man feet to enforce obedience to
his regulations and commands.
