5ewYear's day, unlike rhrNtman,^Thanksgiving, ard the Kourth of July,^Ih what might be termed a new^ proiluc-^lng djy. Indeed, with the facilities for^the collection of news that are poHHeHHed^by the iNDEPKNIiKNT, a paper might be^advautagejuNly indued even the day*, fol-^lowiugtheanniverHarieN excepted above.^Three general holidays have come with^^in live w-rk-. and it was the lnteutlou^of the 11 HI 111! II't to break, to^^morrow, the rule which has prevailed^hitherto of suspending publication on^the day after New Year*- and hM a^paper as uaual. Hut in the I arly days of^of the Helena Typographical union, as^In the Infancy of unions elwwuer*,^when coinponitors were scarce, a rule*^was adopted that work on Hunilayn and^legal holidays should call for double pay.^Klsewhere the rule has been rescinded^in deference to the wishes of the public^and because there la now no scarcity of^prlutern anywhere. The effect of the re^^peal of the double-price rule has been^that daily papers In towni of equal lw^port ince with Helena are printed every^day except Mouday, and in Nome caseH^even on that day. Bat unfortunately^the Helena Typographical union has not^kept pace with the nines. The Inuk^pendent compositors are the only ones^who would be affected by the repeal of^the rule, and to a man they are^favorable to such repeal. The^Indkpendent !^ the only news^paper iu the city that would^avail lttelf of the repeal to issue the^morning after a holiday, but In spit^of these facts, and iu spite of the fact^that those compositors who would not^care to work would be permitted to en^gage subntitute*, of whom there are an^abundance, the Helena Typographical^union, dominated by printers not^directly couterued and by tramps and^buuimeri, has refused to r*roke the^double-price rule.
Theprinciple of double price for holi^^day work is utterly altsurd aud unten^able. The very tramps who voted^against the repeal would protest^v.'h ^m.Mtly should the men behind the^bars, where they upend the most of their^earning*, exact ^double price for holi^^days.'* A grocer, a milkman, a domestic^who exacted an extra price for goodn^eold or Herv*ceM rendered on a holiday^would have M opportunity to ask it^twice of tin' name liouneholder. lint^compositors or some of them regard^tilt-nine|ve* as a privileged class and at^once wrung the employer and his sub-^Mrtbtti by setting tip a rule that is^virion* in ita conception and dishonest^iu Its workings, aud that only operates^to deprive men of one day's pay, which^most of them can ill afford to lose.

AQUESTION OF CIVIL RIGHTS^The civil rights amendment to the^coustitutiou has been assailed. The^attacks comes, not from the south, but^from Fi^Mton, the home of Wendell^Phillips, the stronghold In the day* of^auti-slavery agitation of the abolition^^ists. Had the capstone of Hunker Hill^monument fallen from its place the^painful surprise would not have been^greater than enscee upon the declaration^of Prof. John Lawreuce Sullivan that he^canuot meet Prof. Jackson, late of^Australia, upon terms of equality In the^twenty-four foot ring; aud uot ouly^that, but he will decline to permit the^light of his countenance to shine or the^weight of his mighty left duke to fall^upou any one who has so far forgotten^the digulty due a gentleman and a^slugger as to put up his bauds in a trial^of dexterity iu giving and of endurance^in taking with the gentleman from the^Antipodes, who, though a son of Ham.^has shown himself to be wonderfully^well equipped for argument In the^school of logic la which Prof. Sullivan^has hitherto been supposed to stand^supreme. It might be injudicious to^suggest that the length of reach pos^^sessed by the Australian, his agility, bis^science, his racial hardness of scouce,^his indifference to attacks that might^mar the symmetry of a Caucasian nose,^have something to do with the decision of^Prof. Sullivan to not countenance the^aspirations of this particular represent^atlve of the colored race to a social^equality with the cultured professionals^of the occidental world. To advauce^the theory that what befell another ex^^positor of the tittle art, McAuliffe by^name, who debated the question of race^superiority with Prof. Jacksou at San^Francisco Friday night, has influenced^Prof. Sullivan to take the Htaud he has^assumed, would be to admit that he has^pre-emiueut qualities for membership in^the noble aud Illustrious Order of Wind^^jammers, which certain envious rivals In^the Ustic philosophy have Utrlbuted to^blm for the last six or eight years, or^*ver sines Paddy Ryan's truss won a^world-wide fame at New Orleans. The^truth may never be known. It may be^approximated, however, when it tran^^spires whether or no Prof. Sullivan^really iuteuds to meet Prof. Kilraln and^discuss the question at lseue between^them according to the Loudon P. K.^rules. At preseut, aud la the light of
THEPAS r YEAR.^The old year is dead; a new year,^Is born.
Theyear that expired with the strik^^ing of the midnight hour has been a sad^one in many parts of this country.^Karly in July the yellow fever obtained^a foothold in Florida, and before it was^subdued by the arrival of frost it had^scored something like 5,000 victims,^most of them residents of Jack^sonville. Iiecatur, Ala., also was^visited by the plague. There^have been, a* usual, disastroas floods,^fires aud tornadoes In different parts of^the country the ever memorable bliz^^zard In I'akota, Nebraeka, and Kansas,^in which many live * were lost and^much suffering endured, and that at^New York, where business was complete^^ly embargoed for several days, perhaps^constituting the most remarkatile. A tor^^nado at Mount Vernon, 111., rehulted in^the death of thirty-nine individuals and^the destruction of much property, while^other wind storms later in the year did^much damage. There weie (Ires In^cities and towns and iu the wo^s1s, of^which the greatest was at Buffalo,^caused by the explosioa of natural gas^and where the jo- was about $1,3J0,(M).
Abroadthe record is daik. Floods iu^Mexico during July drowned perhaps^2,^mm people, while in China !^,'^^^^ lives^were lost by an earthquake iu the Tuu-^neu district. In Japan island over per^^ished by a volcano and iu the Phillip^pine islands rOOwere killed by u sum^liar eruption. Mine disasters were of^the usually frequent iMVfJMa The^greatest was in Africa, where 1,000 men^were entombed. At the W lckes tunnel, on^the Montana Central railway, a cave-iu^killed eight or nine laborers.
leath found some shining marks la^t^year on tsith hemispheres. Two em^^perors, father and son, were taken from^(ierinany.lhe aged William dying March^I aud Frederick III. June 15. Seyyed^itarghasb, sultan of Zanzibar, and ex^President Salomon, of Maytl. also died.^In this country the foremost among pub^He men who fell were (ien. P. II. Sheri^^dan, Koscoe Conk ling, Chief Justice^Mormon K YYuite, ex-Attorney-iieiieral^H. H. Brewster, ex BOf^ John T. Hoffman,^den,Q, A. Ulllmore and C. (i. Memmiu^ger, secretary of the treasury^la the so-ealled confederate gov^^ernment. Literature and art lost Prof.^Hlci.ard A. Procter, D. H. Stro^thei Porte i'rayon Matthew Arnold, K.^P. Bit, A. Brouson Alcott and Louise M.^Alcolt 'father and daughter, who died^within a few days of each others, F. ^).^C. barley, Mary Howttt, the widow of^Harry Cornwall, and Kohert Morris, ^the^p^H^t laureate of Free Masonry.^ The^I- pi -copal church of VYJscouhIu lost two^bishops John Henry llohart Brown, of^the dhs'ese of Fond du Lac, and Bishop^Welles, of Milwaukee diocese. The^Catholic Archbishops I .amy. of New^Mexico, and Lynch, of Toronto, died^during IMA James Freeman Clarke,^equally distinguished as a Unitarian^preacher aud a (iterator, also Is dead. Of^journalists who have crossed over the^dark river may be mentioned A. S. Abell,^of Baltimore; ex-Lieut, linv. Uorshelmer,^of New York; H. M. Pulsifer, of BoHtou,^and U. R. Locke ( Petroleum V. Nasby).^Among others who died during the year^were W. W. Corcoran, the Washington^philanthropist; Commodore Kittson, of^St. Paul; Charles Crocker, of the Central^Pacific railway; Qaarga II. Corliss, the^inventor of the OortaN MCUttJ Br. Cor^nelius Aguew, of Philadelphia, and Mrs.^C. 8. Lozler, the pioneer of women^physicians.
Theyear has been marked by some^memorable Uboi disturbances, notable^among which were the strike of the^engineers ami hreiuen on the ChlMfO,^Burlington A putney railway ny-teni;^that of ths Amalgamated Association of^Iron and Steel Workers, which took out^KjOOO men and lasted eighteen da\s, re^^sulting In a victory for the associationj^the Indlaiiapolisand Denver switchmen's^strikes, aud the strike of street car^drivers in Chicago, which resulted in^some serious rioting and the defeat of^the men, many of whom hist their situa^^tions. The strikes were, as a rule,^equally damaging to employers and^employes.
Marsh,by a coarse adventuress known aa
Auu(Kiella Lisa Debar, claiming to be^the wife of a Gen. Diss Debar and a^daughter of the notorious Lola Moutez^by the king of Havarta, aud who pre^^tended to possess supernatural gift*, by^which she was enabled to paint portrait*^of persons deceased and living In an^Incredibly short space of time aud iu the^presence (except for a screen) of the per-^sou for whom It was intended- Mr.^Marsh was a thorough believer in the^iinpostreflH, and paid her for scores of^daubs that were manufactured lna gar^^ret by ^tf.-n ^ Diss Debar and palmed^off as portraits by the glib dame, his al^^leged wife. At laat, in order to save him^from financial ruin, the relatives of Mr.^Marsh sought aud obtained the appoint^^ment of a conservator over him and in^stltutod criminal proceedlugs against^the DUh Debars, which resulted In their^condemnation to prison. At the lame^time the children of Madam Diss Debar^were given iu charge of the New York^Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to^Children. The terms of imprisonment^of the Diss Debars having expired, the^mailame weut Into court la-t week to^claim the custody of her children. Her^attorney was her dupe, Luther It. \Lu^who took occasion In the course of his^argument to reatlinu his belief Li the^genuineness of Mad .tu Diss Debar't al^^leged spirit pictures, thus giving one^more evidence of the truth of Moore's^poetic declaration!!! the ^Veiled Prophet^^that
^fanatic faith, once wedded fast
Tosome dear idol, b^ig^ it to the laat.
Th^ imposture, was ho palpable, the^character of the manipulators was so^had, that the moet credulous and the^Uajt familiar with the tricks of that^clans of people would have been Inex^^cusable for falling into the trap; but Mr.^Marsh is a lawyer of more than ordinary^ability, presumably trained In the detec-^tieu of cheats, and yet he became not^only an easy prey, but a willing oue.^The case illustrates forcibly ths ease^jvlth which claims to the supernatural^will overcome the minds of men lin-^pervlnus to deceit under other forms.
tMtHMPeWeWI issues no ^holiday^number^ coniptsted of back number cuts^and stale reading matter, but It preseats^to-day some Interesting facts about the^growth of Helena in the last year, be^^sides an exhibit of the banking business^done In the city, vital statistics, and^many other things of Interest- The^lNHKl*KNbKNT of Sunday contained a^comprehensive review of real estate and^building operations for the year l(*^8, In^advance of any of Its contemporaries.^The lM^r.pKM^KNT is uot a oue-iasue,^spasnKslic journal, but au every-day-ln-^tbeyear newttpsper.

GUITEAU'SCUHSE.
Adispatch from New York printed It^Sunday's Issue reported that Dr. Mc^^Donald, a specialint in mental diseases^and whose svideiuv in the trial of ^lul^teau helped the assaseln of 1'restdent^GarQeld on hi-t wav to the gallows, had^beet^nie insane, and slluded to the fact^as another ^niugular api^arent col net^deuce of the 'curse of (iuiteau.'^ The^coincidence is jiurely Uuagirmry. It is^no uucommon thing for men who have^made n study of Insanity to fttil vistims^to the malady themselves, especially If^they have come much lu contact with^the lusaue. aud the reason for this is nut^hard to tlnd by any one who has visited^a great himpital for luuatlcs.
Asto the Inference that others have^fallen victims to^tiulteau's curse,^ there^is as little basis, or less. Col. Corkhill,^who conducted the prosecution, is dead,^but the causes of bis death were purely^natural, and nothiug specially seiiM-^tional marked his demise. He had been^a busy man, a lawyer, a journalist aud^a politician, aud his intense activity^doubtless tended to hasten the end of hli^days. Judge Cox, who presided at the^trial, which was notable for ita length^and the luteuse strain it imposed upon^the court and his officer*. Is still living.^It would be singular, indeed, if some of^the many people^witnessess, jurymen,^lawyers, etc. connected with the trial,^conviction aud execution of ths assassin^should not die under unusual circum- ;^stances, but to In any way connect Ml^deaths with the curses of a 'renzied i^murderer Is unworthy Intelligent peo^^ple. The Almighty does not arm the^disembodied spirits of such men as^(iuiteau with thtiuderbolts to launch at^those who have been instrumental tu^bringiug them to justice In this world.
