cries asking q hearing before their joint

fore the Fereign Affairs Committee next

The SHADOWS ON THE SNow.-There
isn't much snow yet, but there is heap
of shadow and the shadow is the
shadow of Christmas, which like other
coming events, projects its unbra in
front OF it. In every family two import
ant problems are fastening to solution;
and while the elder members are asking
themselves, "What shall we give?" the
younger are no less eagerly specializing
as to what they shall get, The boys drop
vague hints of the desirability OF skates
and sleds, and books of adventure and
exciting narrative; while the little girls
are bemoaning the dilapidated condi-
ton OF the present generation Of dolls,
and artfully trying to inveigle mamma
into the phrase so full ofpromise, "We'll
see at Christmas-time." 1t really is no
easy task to select line of Christmas
presents, so as to insure that every little
one shall get Just what it will most ap-

ell; and as the holiday season draws near,
the careful mother feels, more than at
any other time, the need Of some relia-
BILE manual, by referring to which she
may know just what is to be had, and
just what everything will cost. And
luckily, in this age Of journalistic enter
prise, the very thing she wants lies ready
TO her hand. For the winter number
of the Fashion Quarterly is out and a
copy can be had for only fifteen cents.
Within the Compass OF it's ninety odd
pages are illustrations Of every kind and
description Of Christmas gifts; from the

year-old infant, up to the gOld-headed

CIYIt SERVICE MEASURES

WAsHNGToN, Dec, ll.--A substitute

or three sections net heretofore touched

ate officers of the executive department.
nor TO any Of tine postal and customs
service, but only clerks. The action
however, extends to the consular service,
the term of the same being fixed at six
years, and the general provisions relating
to appointments, removals and promo
tions, the same as in the case of clerks
One new section provides the term of
Office for internal revenue collectors to
be four years. Section 100 prohibits po-
litical assessments in the following
terms:
mo Senator or Representative in Con-
gress, or officer of the Government, or
member of any political committee, shall,
in writing or by print, address or cause
to be addressed to any person holding
an appointment described in the first
section of this act, or to any laborer en-
ployed by the Government, any request.
demand or innovation for contributions
Of money for any political party; nor
shall any person demand or invite, for
the Use Of any POLITICAL party from such
appuintee, the payment OF any consider

shall solicit, request or recommend the
appointment of any person to any place
designated in the first section Of tins act,

head Of the post-oilice department, are
carefully excluded from the provisions OF
the act
Section II provides that any person

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.--It is rumored
that the railroad lobby will be reinforced
lde day or two by thc arrival Of @. 4.
Huntington, who viii bring all possible
pressure to bear to save the old Texas
Pacific land grant from forfeiture. The
grant was originally made to Tom
Scott's Pacific road, and was transferred
to the Southern Pacific The committee
had reported bill which had practical
" declared the lands forfeited to the
United States, and the Southern Pacific
had no right to receive patents under
the original grant. If the bill could be
taken up there is no doubt of its passage

Invalid Sailors.
AN OFFICER RISES TO A POINT OF oRDr

MIR, EDToR;--l wish to call the atten-
ton OF the public to an unjust course
pursued by the United States in her ma
rine hospital regulations toward sick
seamen and the tax payers Of this coun-
ty, in discharging from the U. $. Hos
pital seamen not cured and without
means, compelling the city and county
authorities to arrest them under the va
grant act and commit them to Jail, when
for years they have paid hospital dues:
but such is the law Of this great and en-
lightened nation.
In the last two weeks l have had three
applications from seamen (dischurged
from the Hospital because they were in
curable within the sixty days. for a place
to sleep and something to eat; to one
refused because | thought he could get
alongswithout it. The other two had.
through humanity, to send to county
Jail to sleep and get something to eat al
though in accordance with the laws of
the Territory they were no entitled TO
the same, thereby putting a heavy ex-
pense on the tax payers.
l have laid the matter before the city
authorities who, after consulting their
attorney inform me they can do nothing
in the matter; that it is county matter
l shall lay it before the County Commits
siouers ON the both inst. 1t is an unjust
evil that has to be handled without
gloves in the cause Of humanity. Is it
not the duty, according to U. S. law, Of
the examining physician, on the appica-
ZION Of seamad for relief, to certify be-
fore admitting him to the Hospital that
his disease is durable within sixty days &?
/ am sure we have physicians that are
capable of Judging, then why are they
admitted lis not the vessel compelled to
take care of them and return them to the
place they took them from?) to be turned
out after sixty days to die on tle road
side, as one did during the last year who
had been turned out for two days when
he dropped dead at Woodley's corner?
II is a matter that the tax payers, and
particularly those having any Of the
milk Of human sympathy for the suffer
ing sailors should look into and see if
there is no remedy and where the relief
shall come from, as thoy must be pro-
vided for and not treated as criminals in
the county jail.

A SPECK OF WAR.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.--Minister Os-
borne, of Brazil, is reported on his way
to the United States. Notwithstanding
contradiction of the report that trouble
is impending between Brazil and the
Argentine Confederation, the best in
formation indicates serious complica-
tons likely to ensue. Argentine has
within a year taken possession and or
ganized, under territorial government,
a certain country which has been claimed
by Brazil. A brother of the President of
the Argentine Confederation has been
appointed Governor OF the Territory,
and at the same time the army is being
put on war footing, with the intention
of defending by force their possession Of
the territory, by which act they summari-
ly set aside the claim of Brazil. The
Bra2lhans are putting their army in
shape for possible hostilities. 4 gentle
man who should be well informed as to
the temper of the Brazilian governm ent
says Brazil will resist the loss Of the ter
ritory, which will lead to a conflict be-
tween the rival powers.

LIGHT RECEIPTS

CHICAGO, Dec l3.-'lhe receipts of
grain for the past year have been phe-
nomiuGlly light, being 25,0OO,OOD bushels
less than the preceding year. The rea-
sons are that the increased ability of
farmers to hold stock, the low prices
since the new crops were harvested, and
the rapid increase in the milling capaci-
ty. The receipts of winter wheat have
increased. The above facts are from
the report of Chairman Smith of the
State Railroad Warehouse Commission.
