The New Year.
CONDITIONS nro nil propitious
for n happy New Ye.u. There
l.at never boon a 111010 sat
isfactory Btato of builness.
M010 wnjTe-earners nie now einpluvoil
In productive Industry than ever befoio
nnd their earnlnRs, as nieaHtiicl In the
lomfnrts open to puuhaRe, upon tlw
nveuiKP were never higher. This means
that the widest diffusion of prosperity
which It la possible to achieve under
the prevalent Industrial system has
been accomplished. Nothing so dls
LoutnKcs a man or menaces society as
onforeoil Idleness or labor perfoimed
at a scale of lemunt ration lnsulllclent
to meet the unavoidable expenses of
life; and on the conttaty, no condition
this side of p.uadlhe Is so satisfactory
ns that which enables every lndustil
ous man to apply his ability In ti
manner productive of a comfortable
Income, under circumstances which do
not discourage hope of appreciation
and advancement.
AppljluK this standaid to the Ameri
can people as they cross the threshold
of tho new year, we find that from the
economic standpoint theie is infinitely
more to be thankful for and Infinitely
more incentive to encouragement than
has been tiue for a number of years
past. There are perplexities and injus
tices, to bo sure, but the proportion
which these bear to the situation as a
whole is relatively to other years a
small one. The man who has no other
resource than his labor Is not In nil
lcspccts to bo envied; if he Is wise he
will this day firmly resolve to lay up
of his earnings, week by week and
month by month, enough to protect
him and his against nn always possible
period of adversity. Yet one year ago,
two years ago, or. In fact, at any past
time, bairlng abnoimal Intervals, tho
laboring man would have experienced
more difficulty than he experiences to
day In securing satisfactory wotk and
wages. The Industrious, intelligent and
piollclent workman begins the j,ear 1900
with the happy fact confionting him
that nioto men aie anxious to ecurj
his s-crvltes and make a profit out of
them than ever before; and tho error -nious
dlvci.sillcatlon and expansion of
Ameiknn lndustty and commerce now
in piogiess Insure that this condition
will bo likely to continue for a con
sldetablo period to come.
That which is true as to labor is of
(ouiso true as to capital, with thu
qualification that men of means who
possess to a laigo degree the specu
lative mania nte at this moment reap
ing a small portion of the inevitable
harvest of folly. Money abounds for
legitimate and intelligent investment;
tho real wealth of the country wtj
never greater, nnd tho men who pos
sess generous pottlons of this wealth
are as a rule ready and willing to take
the steps which will result in their
possessing more, provided that tho
steps impress them as being safe steps
and not missteps leading to disaster.
But If tho gamblers are not so active
or prospcious as they were during tho
stock-watering era of a few months
ago; II some of the gas In these ln
ilated big capitalizations which we
used to read so much about is being
liberated under the pressure for money
needed in honorable channels, those
will chiefly lose who were figuring upon
making others lose, and tho recoil of
their projects will Illustrate poetic Jus
tice. Materially, then, tho New Year be
gins underneath a bow of promise. In
tellectually and morally the outlook Is
equally cheerful. Opportunities for
self-advancement by means of culture
were never so numerous or so avail
able ns today; and they are multiply
ing rapidly enough to keep up with
the demand. Nothing prevents the
poorest child from securing a good edu
cation, from associating with Influences
tending to develop him morally nnd
spiritually, and from finding a place In
life In keeping with his merits. So far
from the door being harder to open or
the ladder harder to climb, because of
tho ulleged multiplication of great for
tunes and of the favorites thereby sup
plied with "pulls," the reverse is true,
for the very reason that the poor boy
lias both 11 better chance to qualify
himself to Use In life nnd 11 larger flo'd
of selection than ever before; and now,
as always, it Js the strong man thnt
counts. To tho man In mature life this
duy should be significant because of
the privilege which is his to see thj
high standards of welfare characteriz
ing this time; to tho youth it should
be pregnant with inspiring possibilities.

eously with Billy JIason.
No More Tail Twisting.
A BORROWING of trouble Is
Indulged In by Walter Well
man Washington cones
pondent of tho Chicago
Tlmea-Herald. He is convinced that
the Democratic politicians of the na
tional capital are priparlng to tako
Bdvantago of the British reverses In
Bouth Africa to stir up in the United
States an anti-British sentiment which
ihey hope to utlllzo for partisan pur
poses. "What a war In South Africa
has to do with politics In the United
States m;y," says'he, "be somewhat
of a puzzle to the average man in the
Street, but here is the, 'argument as the
Democratic leaders have It outlined In
their minds: l'ltst, the 'plain people'
of tho United States aie against Ung
land; second, the Republlctn admin
istration Ins concluded some port of
ntllance or under stnndlng with (treat
Britain, more or less secretly nnd moro
or lers to England's advantage; third,
there Is more Kympathy In this country
for the Roera thun there Is for tho
Klllplnns, but If we make u red-hot
campaign of untl-lmp'tlnllsm. usinjr
Knirtuud'H desire to oppress the Roer
republics ns our chief horrible exam
ple, and connect tint with the at
tempt of the United States to subdue
the Filipinos, perhaps we cm stir
up a feeling thnt will hurt the Repub
licans next yoir."
Mr. Wellmnn continues: "During tin
last few days Democratic senators
have begun to tako an Interest In Sen
ator Mnson's Roer sympathy resolu
tion, and Mr. Mnson now claims he
has n majority of the senate for It. Ho
Is quite hopeful nt getting n vote, and
points out tint It Is merely a ronato
ronlutlon, nnd dees not u quire tho
npprovnl of the president, no that It
could be passed without dragging in
the administration. It Is also said
Senator Ruirows. of Michigan, Is pre
pared to tnuku n speech In belnlf of
tho Mason resolution. Mr. Burrows
has a great many Hollanders nmoiK
his constituent". An Interesting ques
tion, viewed from the Washington
standpoint. Is this: If the Democrats
start playing politics in such n 'vny as
to take advantage of tho nnll-RnglMi
sentiment prevailing among certain
classes uC the population, may not the
administration be forced Into some
counter move? And, If mi, what form
would It be likely to tak-V Mediation,
repudiation of Anglo-Saxon under
standing, or a strong tnll-tvvlbtln.?
im-sigp nvr the Alaska lioundaiyV"
An opinion at this dlfiinnce as to
what may be done bv tho polltlcl.nn
at Washington would iioi"9 no vuUi:
but if tho men at the head of tho ad
ministration keep tiue to their records
they will not be dellected from the
pathway of obvious duly by passing
fluctuations In evanescent public sen
timent. Though It be true tint honest
Americans ellTer widely In their esti
mates as to tho merit-, of Rngland'J
present controversy with the Trans
vaal, ciy many of them looking at
the sublcct through their "vmpathlcs
for tho "under do,;. ' yet no American
who stops to weigh the matter can
wish to see his government repay Hng
l.ind's kindnesses of two years ago by
a policy of tall-twlsthiB for political
effect. We have no quarrel with Rng
land. Wo have no interest in the
Boets. Tho South African war is .1
war In which we cannot interfere In
any way without Inviting consquencs
from every standpoint unwise.
Tho truth of this i so obvious that
we do not see how much political cap
ital can be nindo for the Democratic
party by agitating the matter. But
if they should try to make an it.suc of
this kind theie need bo no hesitancy
on the part of the administration In
accommodating them.
President Schut man's opinion that
where tho flag hus been raised in thj
performance of duty, as in the Philip
pines, it must not be haukd down
should cam for him the everlasting
contempt of every copperhead in tin
land.
Our Lesson.
IN HIS ARTICLR In last week's
Independent concerning the
Philippine situation President
Schurman t-aid: "I icB'rot that
tho Americans allowed tho siloori to
get n foothold on tho Islands. That
has hurt the Americans more than
anything else and the spectacle of
Americans diunk awakens disgust in
the Filipinos. We suppressed tho cock
light there but left tho saloon to
Ilouilsh. One emphasized the Filipino
frailty and the other the American
vice. I have never seen a Filipino
ehunkard."
In George Keenan's article In tno
Outlook of Dec. 2Z upon "Cuban Char -actor"
a similar regict is expressed.
He says he had been In Cuba almost
elx months before ho saw n Cuba-i
perceptibly under tho influence of In
toxicating liquor. "Almost all Cubans
drink," says he, "but they are the
most temperate people, nevertheless,
that I have ever known. Even In
hours of triumph and periods of great
emotional excitement, when over -Indulgence
might be expected if not ex
cused, the Cuban s-eldom loses his
head to such an extent as to become
noisy, disorderly, or offensive. I wit
nessed in Santa Clara, Clenfuegos, and
Havana three great popular dem
onstrations in honor of General Omni .,
when there were reunions of old anuy
comi.ides, celebrations of victories won
by Cuban aims, and scenes of allium
unparalleled excitement and p.UMon:
did not notice in the cir.wded cafes
or In the surging throngs on tho
btteets a single lnto!catcd Cuban
soldier or civilian. About the rabidly
of last January the people of Ma
tanzas had a triumphal eelebratlop,
lasting four days, of their dellveranci
from Spanish rule. Nearly a thousand
Cuban soldiers came Into the city from
neighboring camps; live hundred negro
men and women formed in a solid
column at night, and danced half a
mile clown orre of the principal streets,
to the accompaniment of de'itlons
shouts and cries arrd tho frenzied beat
ing of tom-toms and drums; and tho
vvholo city went literally wild with
patriotic enthusiasm and excitement.
Although the cafes and dtliiklirg-sa-loons
were all open, as usual, tho Cu
ban population remained perfectly
sober, nnd General Sanger, who was
then governor of the city, told me
that, so far as he could remember,
there was not a single arrest for
drunkenness or disorder In the wholn
cur days. Is there a city or town
In tho United States of which as muci
could be said at the end of an annual
Fcuith of July celebration of Ameri
can Independence? Drunken Ameri
can soldiers I havo seen In Cuba, bv
tho scoro If not by tho hundred, but
all the drunken Cuban soldiers I have
fvor reen might be counted on my
thumb."
Mr. Keenan continues: "Tn many
ports of tho Island, and at many
different times, my national and
racial prido was deeply wounded, not
to say humbled, by the tfhmrt con-
trnst betveen American lnlempcranea
arrd Cuban sobriety. In R-irarcu one
nftetuoon I happened to ?eo three or
four drunken Atnerlcnn soldiers stng
grrlng down the street toward tho
postoillee, under the eves of a dozen
or more sober and observing Cubans.
In tho faces of the latter was a half
Pitying, half-contemptuous expresr'on
which Becmed to say, 'How Is It pos
sible for human being to make such
beasts of themselves?' There was Jus
tification enough, perhaps, for tho ex
pression, but It irritated mo neveithe
les. In courage, In honesty, In capa
city, and In all that goes to make true
manhood, those Amerlcnn soldiers were
Immeasurably superior to tho Cubans
who stood, dear-eyed nnd sober, on
tho sidewalks and looked after them
with disgust and contempt. I had no
doubt whatever that three-fourths of
those very Cubans would lie without
scruple, steal If they had a good oppor
tunity, and go contentedly for three
months nt a time without a bath; but
drunkenness did not happen to bo their
vice."
We are accustomed to exult some
what patronizingly nt tho Instruction
which nwalts the Inhabitants of the
new dependencies ns a result of m
ot lean Intervention nnd sovereignty.
May It not be possible that this edu
cation will In some degree be reciprocal?
It is announced tliat every nation In
Ruiopo excepting one has put In writ
ing Its veibil assurances to the United
States of an "open doot" In Chlni.
Tho exception Is Russia, whose offi
cials me "thinking the matter over."
It will not look well for Russia to be
tho dog In tho Ot tenia1 manger.
Some coinnu nt lias been occasioned
by the fact thnt In tho make-up of the
senate committees Senator Revet Idge.
of Indiana, was put on the Philippines
committee, the most Import tut assign
ment which a new senator ever re
ceived. Maybe Reveildge will show
that ho Is worthy of It.
Cuba's future depends wholly upon
tho education of the natives, nnd the
sooner 11 general svstem ot fieo public
instruction Is inaugutnled throughout
tho Island the better it will be for all
concerned.
We quite agree with tlio Otyphant
Gazette that every man who wishes to
bo well-Informed on current affairs
should serve as a Jurvman. It is an
Invaluable education.

The following mis. In order, beginning

tlined on this dite was lu 131, but It will
not occur ngntn until after tho twentieth
eentiirv. The latest Kutter can occur Is
April 2ii. and It will thus occur oneo In
tlio coming century In 1311. Thu Inst time
It occuired was April 'Ji, lssi;. Whenever
Raster oecuis on March 27, or April S, 10,
17 or 21, Christmas also occurs on Sunday.
Though tiie ot thu objects aimed at by
the ehuicli authorities who llxid upon tlio
method of deter mining tho tlato of Bus.
ter was to prevent Its occurring on tho

theless tho two events will occur to
gether tour times lu thu twentieth ecu
iur -April 1.', 1303; April 1, 1323; April 17,
1327, unci April 13, I'M.
The twentieth centuiy will contain !,
521 d.is, which lacks 0110 day of being
exactly C.21s weeks. Tho day of tlio week
that will not occur i.h often as each of
tho others Is Monday Fifteen out of the
hundred ears will begin on Wednesday
nnd thu samo number on Friday. Four
teen will begin on each of tho other days
of tho week. Several announcements nro
mndo of changes to bo Inaugurated with
tho opening of tho new century. The first
of linportnucu Is that Russia will naupt
tho CJiegerlan calendar. This will bo done
by omitting thlrtei n dnvs, tho amount
of tho error that will havo accumulated
after tho close of February, 1900. Tho
Russian will then wrlto January 1, 1901,
Instead of December 19, 1900. Tho other
Important announcement is that It is not
nt nil likely that tho astronomical day,
which now begins nt noon of tho civil
dny. will begin with tho civil day at mid
night. Tho present method of having the
astronomical day to begin twelve hours
after tho beginning of tho civil day is
apt to bo confusing. On the other hand,
to havo tho former begin at midnight will
be to them somewhat Inconvenient.
o
As to eclipses In the coming centi"1"
thcro will be nbout 3S0 of them, tho num
ber of solnr bring to the number of lunar
In about tho ratio of I to 3. Whnt Is the
very ruru occurrence In a calendar yeni
will happen In 113. the first thnu since
152 !, viz.: Seven eclipses, the largest
posMble number that can happen In a
jear. There nro eight total solar eclipses
predicted to occur vlslblo In tho United
States In 1319, 19.M, 13(5, 19M, 1331. There
will also occur twelve transits of Mer
cury. A transit of Venn, however, which
Is of much rnoro Importance, will not oc
cur within tho next century. Tho earliest
date predicted Is Juno 8, 1!U01. Whllo It Is
claimed nt least 1,000 comets como within
visible rnngc of the enrth within a cen
tury, there Is rcnsonablo certainty of the
recurrence of but one extraordinary
comet In the next century. Thnt one Is
known ns Hnlley's. It was last Been In
1S-J5. It will be due ngaln In 1310 or 1311.
Tho exnet time Is not known, owing to
Blight modlllcntlon In Its orbit, duo to
planetary Influence. Of course, It Is not
lmpnslblo for some hitherto unobserved
comet to rrceir In all Its blazing glerv
nt nny time. No nrtronomcr knows. Of
famous nntecrlc shewers there will pron
nblv be three recurrences of tho IoonUls
In 1312, 130". and IMS, r.s In the present ccn
ttirv, one being duo November 13 of this

A Kentucky school teacher who had for jreirs endured what she describes as
"perfect luaritrdom," from headache and dyspepsia, writes, in a letter from Louisville,
to say: " When I was ttachuic school rn J'nuburij, Laurel County, a friend, a mer
chant there, who has also suffered much from dvspepsla and headache, said he had
found a sure cure for these dnexses in Kipaiis 'l.ibulcs, and he gave mc a few to try.
1 found my headache left me. J then tent to New York, to the manufacturer, for a
box, and whenever troubled with indigestion took them. I soon found myself much
better; but. after some months and after indulging imprudently in eating. I aj'ain
suffered from my old enemy 'indigestion.' I sent to LouUville and got a box.
Finding great telief from this I got another, which certainly proved my confidence in
the medicine. I grrw so much better that I now onl) take ihctn when I find I need
them ; but if I am isnprmlnt In eating I find nothing better than these Tabulei. firing
a teacher, I lead a sedentary life, so that oftentimes I hnd myself bilious and feeling
heavy and dull; then I avail miself of the good effects of Hlpans Tannics. The
gentleman from whom I bought the first Tabulcs tells me that he has found them more
beneficial In sick headache than any other remed). Like myself, he thinks they are
Infallible in d)spepsia." '
