FKON or R WARHIXLTOK COR. REarORBEXT. l Wasmisotox, Dec. SO. 187# * Mr. Editor : - One by uoe the fleeting sands of tbe <Jd year were num. berrd with tbe buried past, and Ibe J great band oa tbe dial plat, of time sign- is now the birth of tbe new born k year. Out upon tbe etlll air of tnid- . night million* of silrery tongued balls will rtnp Joyously, telling the sWpiu^ work) that 1H8U with all its hidden wealth of love, or its crushing load of sorrow has come at t nc* experience in Iklc's great mystery, s new legacy t to every living being. It is well to step Joyously over the threshold into this Dew lease of life. The old year I was belter than We knew snd blowungt * always brighten a* they lake their ^ flight. With all the gathered wisdom of the - past ring, r ug ihe bells in kifty spire and lowly turret, let their echoes sweep across the continent to cheer and gladden fifty millioos of human Loans Tbe dead year began with dark shadows, commercial depression, waul and suffering, bat In its life * how of promise streamed athwart the nation* commercial bortroo. which now spans the coming years sod over its great sweeping arch it written in unmi-taks-x hie characters unparalleled rommerciil prosperity. ' I Ttie action of the Democrats uod er | tbe lead of t-sreeion in Maine, has created a profound impression in the must thoughtful mind, here at the capital. Taken in connection with bull-doiing. tisane ballot/, attempts at purchase of returning hoards, sandwtrhod with mysterious cipher die j ■ patches of tbe banner bearers of thai I party, tha stealing of the rote of Matoe | is a tog born that indicates like danger along lbs line daring tbe campaign in 1B8Q. Tbe poor Trays In tbe party ashamid of tba company tbey are in. , are forced to denounce Use out ret a, but Use fraud boom like arreaaiou ' years ago will sweep these fain I hearted j Kemocrals Into the current along with the mass of their party. The new phrase "irrepressible conflict" hat . ' a deeper meaning than was ever rea- i lized by its distinguished aoibor. aid instead of being a struggle merely I ■ between slavery and freedom, is a I ) fierce, never ending wa.tare against a i Republican form of government by the r Democratic party. ■ Congress left us to go Junkrtirg j . among their friends during the holiday s noses, and to assuage our grief "Old i ' Hrob" promised us a "blutgard" with ] a cold wave thrown In. The old I weather prophet is right again and 0 boys and girls, young men and maidens, g are having merry lime* no the ice. j The season here for out door winter 1 sports is to short and capricious that E lall of eoow or an ica cold on lbs lake* io the parka, seta humanity, young and old, wild with excitement, and the merriest times of all lbs year . are crowded into a few days known here as tbe 1 "Christmas Frees*." Tb* Committee on Commerce are ' wrestling with a bill that proposes to I establish * bureau that shall have power to supervise and regulate InterStale trade along the great commercial artenef of the nation Tbe quest ion of toils, freight and passenger rates over railroads to yearly growing more important, and the die criminations made against local ilea, the conflicts between rfral sad coo ceding corporation*, tbe encroachment upon cllirs and States by railroad controlling hundreds of million* 'of capital, all three influences bars rnuasi tb* people to appeal to Congress sod , ask that these giant corporation* shall be held L> regard more sffectoally the ftghta of tba people. W# bars outlived the old time theories with reference to commerce, and unless these corporaUoo* are bald in check tb* and ol tbe next decade will see six great trunk Unas of railroads sweeping from ocean to ocean, with all the net work of intersecting Una* of obedient to tbe back of oac or the other, or all, of Ibeae mammoth corpora Doom The bill provides for lbs appointment by the President of nine railroad commissioner* who shall have power to equalize and cheapen tbe tariff on freight sod passenger*, sad k cannot too soon become a law Tbe reports made la Ibe State Department by our mentor agents from toraiga eooutrim am of the moa" hopeful I character and lodicaUa rap.dly and manufactures Secretary E*art* baa enlarged the scope of the duties of oar repraaswta tires abroad by requiring three wisely and judiciously to briag te tb* kaawtodgaaf tbsar rmnoa* co— tries tbe rhsa|maas.. trelli aiy snrl superiority of mr madufecturera. sad lbs a bond* nee of nor ceres to.
