The Esserce of Reform.


The essence Of administrative reform is a
universal overhaullng and reconstruction OF
the executive machinery. In the hands OF
Mr.. Cleveland we all hope and expect that the
Presidency will he Overhauled and recon
structed through the introduction of differ
cut principles and aims in the conduct of the
Executive. Next. if administrative reform
is to follow. the new President must use "a
free hand and an unrelentinG viii IN turning
out all the old tenants of Office who are not
indispeusably necessary through peculiar
competency and efficiency, and IN filling their
places with Democrats who possess the mdls-
peusable qualifications. This Is admlnI~tra-
tive reform such as Mr. Tilden would have
carried through eight years ago, if the people
had rot been cheated out of the benefits they
had right to expect from his election.

"a Merry Christmas"


Tbere is no anniversary in Christendom
which is connected with so many sacred
associations, or which recalls so many
dsSthtful memories, as Christmas. FOR
many hundreds of years millions have
celebrated each return of the
day that marks the anniversary
OF our Saviour's birth and the beginning
Of the last week of our calendar year,
with grand religious ceremonies. childish
festivities and bacchanalian scenes.
Each country and each creed has its own
peculiar manner Of celebrating this joyous
season. The rich, the poor, the bond
the free. the Christina, the sinner, the
aged. the young, claim this glad week Tor
their Own.
In this country the children become dur
ing Christmas the absolute rulers oil almost
every household. The ends of tho earth
are rausacxed. It may be said, to contri-
butte TO their pleasure studies are lald
aside and JOY and mirth reign supreme.
There are some, however, in every COM
munitv 10 whom this precious season
brings little or no pleasure. There are
some whoa wasted by disease and rack
ed with pain. others who suffer from
want. and yet others who are mourning
the loss Of loved ones. 1t is a gratifying
evidence that the world is growing better,
that with each return of this happy day
there are greater efforts made by those
whom kind Providence has blessed to
cheer the hearts and Tighten the cares Of
the less fortunate. The pleasures Of the
selfish person are only half pleasures,
and those who are moved by genuine
charity are happy in the knowledge that
it is more blessed to give than 70 receive.
1t is we'll to-day for Christmas anthems
to be sung in all the churches, and for
the family circle to enjoy to the fullest
extent the mutual tokens of affection and
the JOYS of reunion around the festive
board, but the happiest Christmas will
be theirs who devote the day to alleviat-
| ing the sorrows and tightening the bur
dens Of the afflicted and the poor.

Bear Tenacity Of Life.

A correspondent named Miska gives to the
London Field an Interesting story Of the sx-
traordirary vitality Of the bear. He was
hunting In the vicinity of st. Petersburg, and
bear having been bsaten out, Miska aited
until there was but twelve yards between
them and then fred right in front Of tho ami
NAL, which at encs dropped apparently stone
dead and never moved. Ten minutes after
the shot was fred they slung it on apole and
carried 1t to the sledges, about half mile
distant. The bullet had entered the head
about two inches and half above the right
eye and had made fearful hole, more than
an inch in diameter, from which great mass
Of dark.red blood, mixed with brains, flowed
out profusely. Arriving ct the slsdges the
bear was laid on one Of them. As they were
standing around Miska remarked certain
quivering over the neck and shoulders ofthe
animal. The surrounding keepers also OBJ
served it, but their astonIshment was still
greater when they saw the bear taking free
breath three or four times SUCCESSFULLY. It
was suggested to give him another shot, but
the keepers said It was not necessary and that
the bear was quite dead. So they drove TO
avillage they had to cross to 60 to the nsxt
beat, about two miles and Q half distant.
What was their astouishment whom they A.
rived at the village TO see the bear raising
his head, coughing and granting; 30 the bear
