NEW YEARS CALLING.

The custom of New Year calling
and keeping open house on New Years
day, which was of such general OBJ
servance in this country a generation
or so ago, appears to have fallen into
disuse to great extent.
1t was d pretty custom, which made
it possible for gentlemen of sociable
habits to call upon a great number of
friends and extend pleasant greetings
and good wishes for the new year and
it was also pleasant for the ladies,
married and single, to receive their
numerous friends. married and SINGLE
and exchange brief greetings
But the custom drifted away from
its original simple features and homeIy
welcomes into d sort of rivalry for
display. Society made the New Years
reception a pretensive function with
elaborateness OF detail which involved
trouble and expense Instead of the
simple welcome, with possibly cup
of tea, slice of cake and a friend
or two to assist in the welcoming, the
open house became the brilliantly IL
Illuminated reception room with an
elaborated spread and with a beVy of
fair women in evening tOilette5, and
instead of all the happy homes being
open to visitors all day all were closed
to visitors save one or two in a neigh
borhOod, where society gathered to
dispense hospitality to callers who
came in groups and minced and slipped
and INDUCED in small talk for just
few minutes before proceedings Oh
the rounds to the next function.
In those earlier days of the custom
of New Years calling it was supposed
to he the proper thing for gentlemen
of all ages, married and single, to visit
t1eir friends and fer ali homes to
which society had access to be open
to friends OF the family. But with the
enlargement OF the custom of offering
tempting Viands and i!uids and dis
playing handsome toiIettes there came
to be a promiscuOuS sort of calling
which included some who took adj
vantage of the supposed privileges of
the day To Obtrude themselves into
circles which were % them unaccus-
tomed-some who called on New
Years day and only on that one day
of the year.
The New Year reception has taken
on this different phase nowadays that
ii is more like the formal reception to
which the guests are hidden by special
invitation. Il is not the '.open house,
of a former time, with is homely
cheer. iii which the ladies' looked
radiant and lovely enough in smart
frocks and pleasing smilss, but with
out a suspicion of the La Ter day even
ing toilette, and when the gentlemen.
knightly and we'll dressed, dropped in
to wish their friendsta Happy New
Year and give assurance of continued
good wishes.

WILL NOT GO OUT OF BUSINESS.

The returns show that the demo-
cratic party was badly beaten and
demoralized in the last
election, but it is safe to says that sit
will not go out of business-its bruises
will all heal with time; and the
storms Of adversely will broaden and
strengthen it.
The returns show that there is no
other place for the discontented-no
other hope for reformation, except
i'm and through the democratic party.
The populist vote, the socialist
vote, the prohibition vote and the
votes of all other parties striving for
certain measures of reform, are in
consequential, and their adherents
VIII See-muSt See--tO accomplish
what they are striving for i'll separ-
ate party organizations is useless
and futile, and to be successful they
must join forces with the democrat
lie party.
Mr.. Bryan makes this very cleari in
his criticism of Mr. Watson and Mr.
Watson's predictions.
1t is not in evidence that the demo-
cratic party has Outlived its useful
ness or that the fundamental princi-
pies it stands for are dead.
1t has stood for the right of an in
telligent people to govern themselves;
for human rights and personal free
dom; for the smallest tax consistent
with an efficient administration of
government; for the election of
United States senators by a direct
vote of the people; for graduated
income tax, and for the equal distri-
button of the benefits and burdens of
government.
Its theory has been and still is to
care for the weak because the strong
can care for themselves-see motto of
the Ocala Weekly Banner.
1t goes for the saying that the
democratic party has been BADLY
engineered al times and has made
mistakes, but it is always willing
to correct its mistakes and start
over again.
1t has stood the storms almost of
a century and instead of going out of
power is stronger to-day than it has
been since CIevciand's last defeat.
Regenerated and reconsecrated to
the work of equally distributing the
burdens and the benefits of govern
ment and LED by fearless, earnest,
patriotic leaders it will again add
additional luster to its long and i'm
perishable record of usefulness.
1t has received its most serious stab
in the house of itsfriends but chastened
by defeat and learning a lesson of
the futility ''house divided against
ITSELF it's members, reconciled and
reunited, Will present solid
phalanx iii 1908, and will give the
republican party all the fighting for
