It is an easy thing to turn over a new and clean page at the
opening of the year—the difficulty lies in keeping it clean.
John Bull's Christmas was not as merry as it might have
been, but he is hoping for great happiness early in the New Year.
Bankers who went through "runs" recently have no doubts
as t-' what ought to have been "sworn off" by depositors on New
Y eai
Expansion doesn't appear to be a party question in Alabama,
Arkansas and Tennessee, where prominent Democrats are ad-
-mating it.
The suicide of a writer of jokes for minstrels and commedi-
ans furnishes another proof that the occupation of a professional
"funny" man is a dangerous one.
Even scoffers admit that the late Dwight L. Moody, the evan-
gelist, was a great power for good in this country, which is the
highest tribute that could be paid to the memory of any man.
Montana's Supreme court has disbarred J. B. Welcome a
lawyer, for bribery in connection with the election of W. A.
Clarke^o the United States Senate. It is now up to the Senate.
Former President Cole, of the Globe National Bank of
Boston, who is under "surveilance" for embezzlement, is evi-
dently not a cheap man—he, it is alleged, owes the bank $900,-
000.
General Leonard Wood, the new Military Governor of
Cuba, displayed his usual shrewdness when he started out by se-
curing the support of Maximo Gomez, late commander-in-chief
of the Cuban ar:;iy. Wood has a head chock full of common
practical sense.
It begins to look as though General "Joe" Wheeler would
be wise to hold on to his army commission, as it is far from cer-
tain that he will be allowed to be sworn in as a member of Con-
gress.
When adults abandon the use of intoxicants in their Christ-
mas celebrations and inflamable material for the costumes of
children who take part in entertainments there will be less holi-

Mr. Andrew Carnegie's anti-expansion views will be for-
given by the strongest expansionists among the 11,000 employes

ges as a Christmas gift.
A son-in-law of James R. Keene, the Wall street speculator,

the recent stock panic in Wall street, which is said to have net-
ted Keene several millions profit.
General Lawton's army associates were wise in pushing
that appeal for subscriptions to a fund for his widow and chil-
dren while the matter was fresh. Americans are not unappre-
ciative, but they are almighty forgetful, even of heroes.
The Porto Ricans—the United States Government has official-
ly decided that it must be writted "Puerto," but we require time
to break old habits—are just a little too apt in adopting our ' ni
customs; at their first election they did a lot of fraudulent voti ■ o.
One of the most remarkable features of the South Afri". n
war is the almost entire absence of news from inside the Boer
lines. Everybody would like to know to what extent the army
of the Boers composed of outsiders, but nobody does. Oom Paul
must be the boss censor.
One of the worst (because of being incurable) jrms of in-
sanity is that caused by fright from fire. Every great fire yields
a crop of maniacs. It has been shown by careful investigations
that the great Chicago fire produced not less than 250 cases that
had to be committed to asylums. The peculiarities of this form
of mania are a peculiar aspect of suspicion and a constant condi-
tion of panic.

pend for successful solution upon weight of numbers and con:
cert of action.
