Our efforts of ten years past to publish a. first class newspaper have established a reputation for the CHRONICLE. It is none of your patent newspapers, with three- fourths printed at a foundry in Toronto./ Our clubbing rates are the lowest, al round, offered by any paper in Canada, and the full advantage of these rates goes to old subscribers as well as new. There- fore we trust our subscribers wiil send ini their money this week and next, and have their city weekhies renewed before Jan. ist. Hlard times or flot, a family mlight as weUl be out of the world as to have no newspaper. We have visited some places recently where no newspapers are read, and such people live in a horrible state of ignorance. Away behind the times, they are obj ects of pity. At the rate the CHRONICLE is clubbing, the poorest families can afford two or thi-ce papers. a" ime whn w donothav asmuc Another prize fighter, named Andy to rejoice over from a worldly standpoint j z- uc lma&A nAt . . as at others, but the best things of life cannai be stored away in bai-ns or ware- houses. Happy are they who bear in mind that ups and downs are necessary to the nature of man. Too many successes are as fatal to his happiness as are many failures, perhaps more so. If we look at thing-s philosophically oui- sorrows are the sweetest things in life. The love of fatherland is but the love of traditions and of the ashes laid away in uts sepulchres. Who waould part with one sorrow for a thousand joys ? Money does flot aring jay ta the holiday season, and our asso- ciations are as dear and as joyous as ever they were. We can pursue our callings ta the last minute, but we can best drop them wjhen Christmnas morning dawns, and spend a profitable day cheering each other ;ind making the world go merry.

The Sucosaston. lon Mackenzie Bowell is ta be the nlexi Premier af Canada. He is the most expcrienced cabinet minister in the Gov- ernitment, and the one who personaliy car- ries. the most weight. Witb twenty year-.' experience as a member of the Canadian governmient, Mr. Bowell must he faînîliar with ev-ery deýpartment of the seru ice, and should be well qualified ta pick oîut the best muen ta fill the pIqees of Froni the office of- devil " in a prinîxing office Mr. Bawell has worked hi-. way steadily ta the fi-st position amiong Canadians. He is not a brilliant mnaxi, but is sound I-He was forrnerly grand master of the Orangeman, and il is questio>n as ta what e&fct that miay have upon the Roman Catholics. Politics make strange bedfellaws, and as Mr. Bowell was right- hand -supporter of Sir johni Thampson, who was a Catholic, pcrhaps he may now find influential Romnanists to return the compliment. People liad thcir fil af religlous agitation aver the Jesuits' Estates' Act, and have flot been di.splaying much bigot-y lately. Mr Bawells accession ta the premier- ghip will hurt Mr. Dalton McCarthy in Ontario, as aIl the Equal Righters will feel compelled ta agree that Protestantisin is sale in the hands of the ex-grand mas- ter af Orangemen.

It States' that turnipyz-autter mo4c .ovce -a- month ago is j ust niow being brought to market by farmers' wives, who were cx- pecting to do better with itlhater in the season. Their expectations like those of ail peopie who wilU not sefl*when prices arc high, have gone entirely wrong. Not only has the price of butter gene down three or four cents, but their prodnct of thc turnip season is rcjected. They would not take a big price for it, whcn there was a hot demand at 22 cents, and now cannot get offers of 18 cents. It is a fact, as we believe, that flot one in ten e ver make anything by holding back for highcr prices. Not one i one hundred ever made money by holding produce back when the price was high, as was Uic case with butter this faIl.
