We used TO hang mp orr stockings,
When was chilc, dear me;
Nor ever thought for moment
Oh having a Chr -tmas tree.
You see we were 0id-fashioned ehil!ren.
Not wise little women and men;
Saint Nicholas came down the chimney
We had wide-open fire places then.
We went TO bed in the twilight,
70 waken ere yet it was dawn,
And empty with trembling fingers
The stockings on Christmas morn,
But now the tree with its tapers
Is lit on the Eve instead,
And hugging their Christmas presents
The little ones go to bed.
But, then, pray where is the stocking
Gould hold half the wonderful things
The trtumphs of human invention
The modern Saint Nicholas brings?
Now steam takes the place of his reindeer,
Those fleet fairy eoursers % yore;
md since we have closed up the ehimneys
lie need must come in al the door.

Reduction Ordered at the Arlington
Mills-The Hands Strike Operations
Suspended and Five Hundred Persons
With Nothing to do.
About two months ago q reduction was
made in the wages of the employees of the
Arlington Mills, in the Ninth ward, when
they were informed that another reduction
would very likely follow. At that time,
owing to great depression in business the
president of the concern gave instructions
to make a reduction to a certain amount.
The superintendent deemed it advisable to
make reduction of only one-half of that
ordered, hoping that business would revive.
Matters getting no better orders were issued
for another reduction, and yesterday the
hands were informed that such one would
go into effect on and after the 18th of the
present month.
This morning, shortly after the mills had
started, about one-third of the employees de-
cided to stop work rather than submit to
the cut in their wages, and left the establish
ment.
The firm then concluded to suspend oper-
ations indefinitely and all the machinery
was stopped, throwing about 500 men,
women and children out of work. There is
much excitement over the matter, and the
outlook for many is far from encouraging.
The reduction announced yesterday which
was general one, amounts to three per
cent. on an average.

Our Model Police


The model police of Wilmington, accord
ing to the report of the Grand Jury of New
Castle, are anything else than conservators
and guardians of the peace, already several
have been found on the street In maudlin
state. Two only few days
since were convicted in the county
court for Illegally arresting and him
dering men from the endowment
Of their elective franchise. And now the
whole force have, on account of their law-
less acts and bullying practices, received
the denunciation of the Grand Jury, com
posed alike of men of all shades of political
opinion. Is not the Mayor equally to be
blamed, is he not responsible, having as he
has, the power Of removal 7 During the last
seven months complsint after complaint has
been made against the "flnest police in the
world" and change asked, but yet Mayor
Wales has calmly sat by aud allowed these
guardians of the peace full swing. Just
before the late election the Republican
press was filled with promises of good gov
ernment and a police force the equal of
which was no where to be found. In fact,
Republican success was to bring about a
millennium In the city's affairs. The result
is too well-known to need comment Even
in the short time that Wales has been in
office, his administration has been failure
and HIS police force disgrace to the city.
Little else, however, could be expected, for
It is the universal rule, give the Republican
party In this State any swing whatever, and
they are bound to do that which is contrary
not only to law but also to common decency.
