in many respects. Among the
most profitable results,ofthe years
happenings are the lessons to be
learned which il properly applied
will be the means of making the
year which has just begun a
better. year than the year which
has just closed.
To us it seems that the great les
son Of the year has been the folly
OF trying to harmonize the true
with the false. TO bring this les.
son home TO. the people it has cost
much. IT has crushed the hearts
and hopes Of Senators and brought
men of high authority down to
the very lowest degree OF shame.
1t has shown to the people that
a rascal can, for awhile at least,
appear Eto be the very etnbodi-
ment OF righteousness.
The years happenings have
proven that murder will out"
and that honesty is not only the
best policy" but tho only policy
that man can afford to adopt.
