uuitiMi.il m.imhvihtm iinllv Democrat GONE, "Ti midnight's holy hour and silence now Is brooding, like a gentle spirit, o'er The still and pulseless world. Hark ! on the winds The bell's deep tones are swelling, 'tis the knell Of the departed year." Yes, this friendly visitor that came in upon us so auspiciously a year ago has de parted departed never to return. How many hopes and joys have been blighted uring his presence ? How many noble pur poses have mellowed into fruition ? How many glad, light hearts have grown sad during tne year ? How many burdened souls haye been made free through the mellowing influence of the"departed year ?" How much the better or how much the worse ae we by reason of our having had a Hving.morta! existence during the year I Have we performed fully and faithfully the noble purposes and plans which filled our hearts with enthusiasm a year ago to day ? How many hearts have been wound ed by some thoughtless word or deed on our part ? In taking a retrospect of the past year, do we find much In our conduct that we approve nowt or do we find much which we disapprove ? Do we fully com prehend the import of the saying that "the bell's deep tones are swelling, 'tis the knell of the departed year ?" Yes, iSSS with all of Its opportunities, its sorrows, its joys, i'.s triumphs, its d feats, its pleasures.its pains, its loves, its hates, its rights, its wrongs is gone to return no more. We cannot live it over again. Our history for the year is made, whether it be good or whether it be bad. Shall the lesson in experience of the last year be a valuable one to us in direct ing our future course ? Shall the light of the experience of the last year enable us to avoid the quick sands and quagmires that beset us on all sides in our time lift ? Will we keep faith with our resolves more and better the coming than the past year ? We shall see what we shall see. If you have "turned over a new leaf," if you have made resolves of reform.take a full, honest retro spect of the last year's course of life and see how often you failed to keep its resolves and pledges of doing better. You may now see how you were stranded last year and then be able to chun the rocks this year that led to disaster lastyeat. Republican journals say that the amount set apart for the sinking fund is no part of the sur plus. There is no practical difference in the way it must be dealt with, however. The sinking fund requirements are met by buying bonds and any other excess of revenue over ex penditure can only be disposed of in the same way. For dyspepsia pour one quart of cold water on two tablespoonfuls of unslaked lime ; let stand a few minutes, bottle and cork, and when clear it is ready for use ; put three tablespoonfuls in a cup of milk and drink any time, usually before meals.

HE Nearly every person who has ever heard of the city of Minneapolis is acquainted with the enormous output of its flouring mills, yet few realize the enormity of the number of people which these mills are capable ef supplying with bread. The Average daily production of the Minne apolis mills approximate 30,000 barrels of flour. Each barrel will produce 260 loaves of brcad.giving a total of 7,Soo,ooo loaves for a oar's production. Five persons will tonsume two loaves of bread daily , or each person will consume 'two-fifths of one loaf At this rate 7,800,000 loaves of bread would supply :9,500,00a. In other words, the flouring mills of Minneapolis grind flour enough to supply more than one-fourth the inhabitants of the United States with the staff of life. Of course this does not include the amount used for o'.her p urpos cs.whlch is a large proportlni.but gives the reader some Idea of the magnitude of our milling interests.

One hundred years after the establish ment of our political independence the people find themselves in the grasp of a tyranny equally relentless and destructive as that of King George. But fortunately popular revolt against such masters and a centurv of freedom have not been without their effect ; a century of education has marvelously Increased the force of public opinion. That opinion has been educated; it has not yet been organized. Education and organization now go hand in hand, and against this combination such arguments as hold the republican party togcthercan not long sustain the power of monopoly. Pure Teas.
