To our nt rone mid Friendu,
Greeting: Before another issue of
The Chief shall reach tho pcacoful
home! of its, many readers, tho Old
Year.ahall have bocn called to its tic
counting, and filed away in tho ar
chives of the great universo of God,
there to be kept as security as the
signet of the King of Kings is kept.
Dear old year, wq take our lcavo
of thoe not without a feeling akin to
aadnesd: Thou hast dealt with us
kindly,'-lovingly, far beyond our do
sorts, hast kept us from the hands of
I ho destroyer of our earthly hopes,
and crowned us with richest blessings
every hour. Tis true that, during thy
reign,' soulo things fell, out to us along
thu lipp not wholly eajoyablc, such for
instance as landslides in certain see
tions of our beloved country and so
fourth, adfinituni. But briefly do we
turn the leaves one by ono of the dear
old year, and scan its pages to ascer
tain whether we have made glad tho
hearts of our patrons through tho
' columns of this Family Weekly.
Thanks to tho dear old yoar whose
chief clerk with precision and neatneris
recorded the fact of our abundant suc
cess in bur brief labor and concern in
that direction,1 But to permit a rcsurao
of all' i'e Editor wrote with his swift
ly gliding quill during the twelve
monthi'gone would be a task impossi
ble. We turn us now tto look with
viiori,kcoq'upon tho new form as it
como, first like , a mist, thon plainer
grows and moro perfect, shapo assumcc.
O, ring'' tho bells, in joyful; happy
mots, 'aid hail tho New Ynr as it
came! Wo greet tlicc, and call thoe
fricodJ" Will thou deal with us as
kindly as our dear departing friend?
We kn'othnu wilh But, ah mo, while
we sit in our little Sanctum and try to
fathom the hidden mysteries of the
New Yeaiw'o almost shrink from the
task before.. A mist gathers be
fore our eyes', our pen's voice is faint
a it still glides over the fair, whito
sheet before 'u3, 'making low. soft
muito as itlpeeds along. But let us
not anticipate, but rather turn our
thought toward tht Now Year with all

incuts for not only thu lonely
editor as lie sits with bated
breath and tries to scan tho
future ground but seen in dim outline,
wliilo come the oft repeated "Moro
copy" from irrovcront lips, lips of our
indispcnsiblc, yet ever annoying
devil who just off his weekly jamborco
makes pi of forms, and raises Hades
goncrally. Wo pause, we groan, we
drop a silent tear, and wonder if all
editors nave troubles halt so severe.
But after all, tis pleasant thus to live
and work, and think of glory passed,
and hope for futuro blessings still.
EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Tho legislature should not fail to
return Senator Paddock to the U. S.
Senate. The republicans of that
body should remember that Senator
Paddock has been ono of tho most ar
dent workers in the senate and if thoy
fail to do justice to one of tho state's
greatest men. thoy must look out for
tho condemnation .that will surely fall
upon their heads. Ho has worked
long and earnestly for bis party, and
devotedly turned his every effort to
wards tho pcoplo of tho state in order
to better their condition, and to leave
him out now would bo to injure the
interests of tho state and jeopardise
the party, Thcro aro hostH of good
men in tho stato who could fill tho po
sition, and who have been allied with
tho party, but Senator Paddook is pre
eminently better qualified than any
who have been mentioned to date.
The Stato Journal is haying a "Lit
tle Homestead" exporionco this week
with its compositors. On Saturday
niht the boys decided that they had
agriovanco and wont out, leaving tho
Journal, ns they supposed, in the
soup, but Mr. Hathaway mid two or
three of tho men who refused to abido
by thu chapel meeting, got out the
JouniHl in fair shape, It will bo
another eace, where a few hot headed
fellows j'lit up a Rtriko mid lost tlioir
jobs, instond of resorting to arbitra
tion. Kvory person is in favor of tho
laboring man, but generally strikes
result in just tho very thing that the
striUr doesn't want, Instead of let
t'ug well enough alone, a few iollows
will provoke a strike, carry out tho
forco with tliciu, and the whole affair
winds up with new men taking their

We have piles of them
place, when a moderate courso would
briny about the desired end far better
and save much suffering. If the
Journal is not paying fair wages it
ouilit to do so, but strikes do moro
injury than good, for oft-times it takes
away men's employment who havo
others depending on them for a living
and cannot afford to leso their situa
tions. Tho lcgislaturo meets next week,
and tho people will oxpcot them to do
much better than did its predecessor,
which was tho most extravagant legis
lature ever known.
Senator Poller, generally known
among hi- colleagues in Washington,
by the cuphoneous title of "whiskers"
lias declared that the populists will
take no cognizauccof cither old parly,
whenever and wherever they can clou"
a senator af their own stripe, but
when thoy cannot do so, thoy will do
the best tlicy can in making a deal
from whatsoovcr party favorable.
Tlic incoming legislature should
pass a law enacting a "bureau of emi
gration." The stato has novor been
properly advertised and suoh a bureau
would do much towards getting our
stato a proper recognition in other
, state.-.
