Ifuht up the candles, comrades; For the night is gathering ast And she upward creeping shadows Have rcac6ed the top at lasts And the lowing Of the cattle, Ana the song bir,ls note isstill, And the breeze is gently stirring Through the mesquite on the hin. The west has lost the glory or the sunsets crimson glow, And tae Finals glenn no longer la their broad, white sheet Of snew. And nothing breaks the silence Save the gentle zephyr's siah, The failing Of our tear drops, Or the night bird Hitting by And the stories that we're telling, As we watch the changing light Of the flames upon the yale log, On this uielnory-waSing night. For, oh. our hearts grow tender, And hot tears iii oar eyes old forms go Hitting past us, And dear old faces rise. Old unds now plain we hear them; Osd scenes how like they seem As fl the angnished years gone by Were but a painful dream. Fe'ed Joys as pu e as flowers From which the wild bee sils5 And some that turned Co ashes While yet upon our lips. Draw closer round the fire; Let the little girl sit there; And I'li read the passing pietares lu the e hollow by the flare Oh, changing scenes oh, varied scenes. Let's watch them as they go See4 red, red lips we used Go kiss Beneath the mistletoe. See langhiag eyes, and weeping eyes, . And eyes SO soft and true, That bsamed with love and tenderness Dear friends, on me and you. See littlc forms wee, tired forms. That knelt in evening prsyer, And Heavenward looked, then fireward
 looked
 At stockings hanging there. See heads grown gray, and eyes grown
 dim,
 But filled wlth loving look, The old folks liye their youth again Beside the chimney nook. 1 see the tables laden With freight of goodiy cheer, And wbirhng waltz, and contra dance. Meath brilliant chandelier. And in and out, see, how they gol The nimbie. active feet Upon the beaten pavement Of the crowded, busT street. See saops ablaze. and halls afAme With many brilliant light The pictures pass. the flare is gone We're here Ihis Christmas night. All gore, all gone. those pistures fair 0f tunes We hold so aear; Thank God. we've sill a woman's smile To bless us while we're here. Then fiji The glasses, comrades, Re wassail bowl Is here; and ns'll drive away this sorrow, While we'll hold old memories dear. And we.il toast the year that's coming And ihe one soon meath the pail and we'll tossG the folks that love use Gods hiessIng on them ail.

Ineersoll on Fiat Money,

A thousand theories were born. Of want; a
thousand theories were born Of the fertile brain
OF treuble; and these people said alter ali:
"What is money? why It'll is nothing but q meas
ure Of value, just the same as a half bushel or a
yard stick.''~ And consequently it makes no
difference whether your yard stick is gold or
paper. But the trouble about that statement is
this: A half bushel is not q measure of value:
it is m ,asure Of quantity, and it mea sures ru-
bies, diamonds and pearls precisely the same
as corn and wheat. The yard stick is not a
measure of value; it is q measure of length, and
it measures lace worth S100 q yard precisely as
is does a cent tape. And another reason why 1t
makes no difference to the purchaser whether
the yard stick is gold or silver, or whether the
yard stick is gold or paper, You don't buy the
yard stick; you don't get the half bushel in the
trade. And it was SO with money-if the peQ-
pie that had the money at the start of the trade,
kept it after the consummation of the bargain
then it wouldn't make any difference what YOU
made your money Of. But the trouble is t,B
money changes hands. And let me say tonight,
money is thing-it is product Of nature-and
you can no more make fiat dollar than yoI
can make fat star. 1 am in favor of homes,
money. Free speech is the brain Of the Repub-
lie, an honest ballot is the breath of its life
and honest money is the blood that course;
through its veins. So"

A Mean Action.

The Democratic tickets printed at
Humboldt were all against" the
amendment, the word "for' being
omitted. If voted as advised on the
ballot they would count against the
proposition or the vote was lost. 1t
was contemplate trick to deceive
voters, and the parties who are respon-
sible should be compelled to suffer the
odium necessarially attached to such
an act. The Republican tickets We're
all printed correctly.

York last week. The little steamer which went
down the bay to receive her carried a party of
fifty French artists, who presented her with an

Wrong.

We can stand a good deal of fun and
reasonable amount of joking. We
have never asked sympathy in a defeat
we have sustained and have never
sought TO scatter salt upon the wound
ed backs of our political foes. For once
we condemn the action of iotrof boys,
who we presume were Republicans.
After the ratification meeting was over
Wednesday night, images were hung
up which were calculated to stir up bit
ter feelings among our people, and for
one would denounce it. We could have
stood part of the decorations" but
some of the display was too much. 1t
wasa little better than the Democrats
did at Fredonia few weeks ago, and
in either case was wrong. No discus
sion is necessary, and the least said the
better. The election is over and on all
questions we should again be united
and harmonious people. aa
