OUR JUNIOR SENATOR'S NEW YEARS GREETINGS.

We CHANGED to see in our Junior Senator's very own politi-
It is thoroughly vardamanesaqle-ful OF sophomoric gush and
highfalutin phrases. He discourses very beautifully upon what
the coming of our Savior meant but suddenly turns to putrid
diet and says: 'Instead Of peace, We have plumber; and br9-

in conflict with painful actualties. But they 1the s. Senator nat or does

women and children. the insults to our flag, the intrigue OF Ger

he proceeds: THAT out of all this murder, graft: personal am
