WEDNESDAY, JAN. 2, 1534. ——— The Times is boiled down to half its usual size this weck. The rea- son tor this is the fact that there was no work carried on in the office last week, the entire force being off tak- ing the holidays. Next the Times will appear in its accustomed so continue, week dimensions, and will “cut and pasted,”’ until the end of time. PAUSE AND REFLEUT. Within the silent embrace of the mystic realms uf Time repose in its first and last sleep the dead year— 1883. The light of its éxistence went out amidst exultant rejoicing of the happy multitude. All Chesten- dom were by its bed-side, heard its last prayer, its parting admonitions, and rode 1n the funeral march to_ its grave, but tew were the tears. With carless mein the busy world moves on mourning not for the dead, mindtul even of its memory which is thrust aside to make up another page in history. Reflecting a moment on the past —the early morn, the noon-dav_ and the night-time of the old year—we find many valuable lessons, many worthy examples. It isour privilege to emulate and profit by them. In every ones life there is something to improve, something to change for the better. Proverbially though it may be, strewn with the wreck of broken promises trom time immemorial, this is the proper period, after all, to brace ourselves up and ask calmly, considerately what of the past? how about the future. If the battles of the old vear are to be fought over again, what is the use of buckling’on the‘armor at all. Better surrender at once betore the threshold has been crossed over Perchance the march hasbeen weary and the conquest small. Defeat may have come often, and the corpse ot dead comrads, kindred and may have impeded the progress of the journey, and we find ourselves standing alone just at the begining ot another siege. But what of that? Does not the impenetrable future hold out some inducement? Is there not in the young vivacious, inspiring soul of the new year something tor which every drooping spirit in the mniverse should yearn to discover and embrace. Ah, surely there must be. The Great Captain requires the march to be resumed, and it is not for us to doubt the wisdom of the or- der or disobev the mand. There — is enough aboard for all, and the conquests of the voyage and the safety of the land- ing will depend upon the strength of our manhood in maintaining our pur- points in our lines. un- friends imperial com room and detending the weaker As we launch our bark out upon the untried waters of the new year we turnin humble obeisance to the memory ot the departed—the Cye- zar ot its day. Our heart is kind to its memory, and we linger a hittle while by the grave to muse upon the vicisitudes of the past. As one grand panorama, all we have been rushes like a mighty ri fore our vision. new made er be- The tale is told and we look in wonder about us.

Owing to the broad mn oO y ship and the commanding f ake oath and occupy statesmanship and t g neal gi months a talents ot Seward, Chase and other ontl F actors during bis administratwn, the idea too often prevailed that Lincoln was a mere figure head during those tour eventful years and that to Sew- ard, Stanton and others belonged the credit of all that was done. Mr. Colfax shows that Lincoln himself was the Master spirit of his admints- tration, directing iargely the opera- tions in the field, shaping our foreign policy, and bearing upon his braw- ny shoul ers much ot the burdens of his stirring admimustration. Mr. Coi- fax’s summing up of the character of Gartield was one of the best of the many good things said of this distin- his seat until several when he attained the proper age for a Representative. —— Speaker Carlisle did well by Mis- souri in his make up of the cemmit- tees.

Kenosha, Wis. Unéon.—-Schuvler Colfax as a representative of the great states ot the west | had reached a high } in the councils of the nat atime when our national existence was greatly impernled. His wisdom, elo- quence and virture had caused him to be leaned upon as a trusted friend and coadyutor by those great patriots, Lincoln and Garfield, and his inti- mate relations with them made him familiar with their inner liyes. The story. ashe told it, was full ot the eloquence which is inseparable from such noble lives under the tremen- dous responsibilities of the highest peril and difficulty.

The sentiment was appro- priate to the subject, “Our Martyr- ed Presidents.’’ His portraitures were forcibly and graphically drawn. Lincoln’s was sketchy and anecdotal. By bold and skiilful touches he intro- puced the audience into the Execu- tive Chamber, and into the heart ot one of the tew truly great, unselfish men of our history, Abraham Lin- coln. He drew the parallel between The Nevada Democrat, one of the solid Democratic journals ot the | Lincoln and eR 1 present- southwest, reasons as follows why it ed the remarkable coincidences run- . ning through the lives of the two men. The lecture was full of gems of thought and we should like to sit in an easy chair and read it through. The Madésonensis, (College pa- perof Mapison University, N. Y.) speaks of Mr. Coltax’s lecture as fol iows: The hall was filled at an ear- ly hour by an intelligent and enthusi- astic audience. he lecturer and lecture were just what we expected, ‘The one pleasing, ‘the other, thought- tul and instructite. The speaker give avivid review ot Garfield’s lite, and brought out the leading charac- teristics of each President. The hu- morous turn of Lincoln, was pleas- antly portrayed. His periods were well. rounded. His comparison of the two noble lives were beautiful. Scranton, Pa., Wepud/tcan.—The eloquent tribute of the Hon. Schuyler Colfax to the memory of our mar- tyred Presidents, was listened to by a large audience at the teachers’ In stitute, last evening His personal acquaintance with Lincoln and Gar- field enable him to draw an interest- ing picture of the lines of these two grand types of American character, who rose fiom the poorest to the proudest place m= the nation. and whose names, with that of Washing- ton, will endure as monuments to- ward which the teac! ers of our youth can always point for the edification of the rising gencration. Carthage, Ill., Gazette.--Hon. Schuyler Colfax delivered his cele- brated lecture, **Our Martyred Pres- idents,”” at the Trinity Lutheran Church, to a large and intelligent au- dience. It was listened to through- out by every auditor present - with close attention. The lecture 1s in- deed a splendid production, portray— ing in choice language and clegan phrases the striking tures of the characters and lives of our martyred presidents. Vineland, N.

We ure for Tilden because we believe he is the only man that was ever fairly elected President of this country and after wards swindled out of ‘the place. We are for Tilden because we be- lieve he is to-day the only Democrat that the party can certainly elect President in 1884. We are for Til- den because nine-tenths of the Dem- ocratic party want to resent the in sult given them by the Republican party in refusing to allow him to have the office after he had been fairly elected to it, and finally we are for Tilden because we believe he would make a better President than any other man in the party.’” Ex-Senator Barnum, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, is quoted as follows in reference to Mr. Tilden: “IT am a_ personal friend of his, and know him very in- timately, but lam not in tavor of him as a Presidential candidate, be- cause he is out of the race. Mr. Tilden will not run. Of that I am certain.”? Mr. Tilden may not be a candidate himself, but the people will make him their candidate at the convention, all the same. BATES COUNTY National Bank.
