And stu we call It the new year.
It's not quite all guess work either.

the bygone days had accumulated mis-
cry for us. we might lament the add =
ton OF more days to the calendar. That
there has been a turning OF evil into
good and a general advance along the
line inclines us to believe that our for
tune will continue. Experience breeds
hope. This hope is not born at any
sudden juncture we may select. It is
not the net result Of a long course
which blends good and bad into one
encouragement. The storm has heat
tiercely on odd days The whole wear
has seasonably ripened into harvest.
The hope Of the future springs from
the good Of the past just as we save
the seed from the flowers and fruits Of
bygone summer.
Yours respectfully.

Bishop Coleman rendered a reception to the
blind OF the city at Bishopstead the other even
ing, and we are sure his concern in their behalf
was appreciated by his guests. OF late more in
terest has been taken in this class of dependents
and SUCH affairs as the reception by Bishop Cole
man Will no doubt be regarded by them as an
earnest token of more than mere friendly con-
sideration. The Legislature will have great deal
OF business TO perform and the sooner it settles
down to the real work of the session the better.

Another railroad wreck in Kansas, this time
with heavy loss of life, reflects nothing to the
credit of railroad management in the country.
Disaster seems to follow upon disaster. One
wreck comes closely after another There must
be surely some carelessness and negligence to
cause these many accidents. Perhaps it would
not be unwise for the Interstate Commerce Com
mission to consider the question of the frequency
of the wrecks.
