anxiety of a year need a season of

others, have his rest. Let him

And so we find ourselves to-day,
the anticipations of the year
most realized.
In looking back through
year just past there is cause for
congratulation, that all the shoals
of embarrassment and quicksands
of debt have been avoided, and
the annual voyage has been a
prosperous one. The Reflector

a right good Christmas and buy

But, to speak seriously, to con-
duct a country newspaper, make
it worthy the name and acceptable
to the people, is no idle play.

those uninitiated cannot realize,
and we look back through the
upon the scores of nighs in

burned, almost as a dream.
that this was intended only when
the States failed to make such reg
and was not intended to
give Congress control of elections, i
When several States satisfied the
constitution they passed
that Congress shall not in
any manner interfere with times,
place, or manner of holding
except when the Legislature
of any State shall neglect, refuse
or be disabled by invasion or re-
to prescribe the same, and
North Carolina refused to ratify it
on account of that clause. For a
hundred years this principle was
carefully guarded, but now a
party is in control and has
driven the people from its ranks,
it seeks thus to override the spirit
and principles of the constitution
in order to keep itself in power.

Force Bill.
Until a few days ago we were
somewhat gloomy fearing that the
Force Bill, advocated by Harrison,
Reed, Lodge, Frye, Hoar Co.,
would become a law but now mat-
seem to be brightening up a
little. The Democrats are deter
mined to fight it to the bitter end,
and many of the Republicans seem
to be giving away in their sup
port. It has been known all along
