CHRISTMAS Day.

Christ Church also was very prettily
decorated by Mesdames Lumley, Brere-
ton and Potbury, assisted by Dr. Kemp,

Dorehill, Wilson, Peareth, Miller, Pot

aided by MIR. and Mrs. Fowler, of Yam
dilla Lodge. The walls were decorated
with notices made of white letters in
WOO, faced with evergreen on background.
On the west wall the word emmanuel"
surmounted by star and surrounded
by various emblematival devices, con
nected by wreaths Of evergreen. A sim
liar device appears on the east wall,
while the pulpit and reading desk were
tastefully adorned with initials in wool,
imbedded in leaves. The effect was
very pleasing, and the laudatory COM
ments Indicate how thoroughly the
work Of the ladies and their committe
are appreciated. Divine service was
held in the morning mt the usual hour

and the sleepy old pine trees wink.
Every child received gift and went

Not So Foolish a. the Other Man.

Tho Hon. THOMAS F. GRADY Of this city,
formerly Senator Of New York, is ve-
hemently assailed In some Of the newspa-
pers on account OF his opposition to GROVER
CLEVELAND at Chicago.
The great charge brought against Mr..
GRADY Is that his speeches In the Conven-
ton were foolish, and that they helped
CLEVELAND when he meant that they should
hurt him.
There may be truth In this accusation. or 1t
may be erroneous. We ore not prepared to
judge on that matter. But we will say this:
GRADY's speeches were not 80 foolish by any
means as certain letter which Mr.. CLEvE-
LAND, being Governor, once wrote to the
Hon. JOHN KELLY to dictate that Mr.. GRADY
should not DO returned to the Senate for the
reason that Mr.. CLEVELAND did not like to
have him there. This was piece Of folly
and an offence against good politics and good
taste far transcending any foolishness that
GRADY may have committed in his impas-
stoned speeches.

A Useless Apology.

A very intelligent New Haven Methodist
writes to us at length with regard to the
views Of the Rev. DR.. CURRY touching the
Scriptures. and moro especially the Old
Testament. DR.. CURRY, it will he remem-
bered, confessed that . great change
had come over his mind with regard to the
Bible, which he was disposed to now treat In
spirit OF doubt and criticism rather than
with the revcrential faith with which he for
merly approacnod Its pages.
These sentiments, our correspondent very
truly Gays, do not represent the position oc-
cupied by the Methodist Church. but he sug-
gests that DR.. CURRY may have spoken In
haste and heat and without having made
"a deliberate, thoughtful study OF the field"
II still cherish tho hope" he says further.
THAT there Ia some misunderstanding which
can be explained with honor to oil"
1t seems to us, however, that 1t Is useless
DIR. CURRY said was taken down by a
stenographer, and 1t was 30 plain and posi-
tive that there is no possibility of Q mis-
understanding with regard to 1t. Moreover
the sentiments were uttered by man who
stands ut the head Of Methodist theologians,
and who, presumably. had come to the con.
illusions no expressed only after careful
study OF contemporary Biblical criticism

Integrity as a Factor In Politics.

Tho nomination Of Mr.. CLEVELAND by the
Dcinocrnts is, more than anything else, .
protest against the assumption involved In
the nomination Of Mr.. BLAINE by the Repub-
licans that IL does not make any difference
whether q man is honest or not, 80 long as
he possesses the other qualities Of q great
political leader.
Tho ono conspicuous defect in Mr.. BLAINE's
career has been his indifference to official in
tegrity. Tho one prominent feature Of
Governor CLEvELAND's administration has
been tho confidence which he has In
spired In his rectitude Of purpose and
honesty Of action as public officer. In
training. In experience, In knowledge Of
affairs, 1t cannot truthrully be said that no Is
Mr.. BLAINE's equal. He had vast deal to
learn when he became Governor, and the
field OF necessary knowledge which the
White House opens to view is much moro
expansive and exacting But he is strong
where his antagonist Is weak. His honesty
is not doubted.
This is the point Of comparison to which
the Democrats will do well to turn the drift
OF popular discussion.

required; and hsnes he fear Of The carriers
that tAsir sxpectsd treat may b. reduced
from two weeks 10 one.
Il would appear. however, nom the IAN
suage Of the act Of Congress that the letter
carriers are absolutely ENTITLED" by It TO
fiftecn days; and II 10 fair Interpretation OF
the appropriation for carrying out this act
that its too narrow limit was based on the
impossibillty Of saying beforehand how
many vacations would be asked for during
the first year. and how many Of them would
be the maximum. II certainly would be an
ton that Congress had sought In On indirect
and silent way to undo It's own deliberate
lcglslation about the holidays Of tho carriers,
by 30 cutting down the appropriations for
this purpose - to reduce the leaves OF
absence by onc-half. The truth is that 1t 10
stll an assumption, though no doubt
correct one. to say that the substitutes will
cost moro than $4,000. The law allowing
fifteen days can bo steadily carried out, and
when all the vacations are over the cost OF
its execution will then for the first time be
known. and any lack In the appropriation
will be very ordinary example Of the con-
tents Of the annual Deficiency bill. %
We think. then. that the carriers may
count upon getting the vacation which the
statute allows them. and we hope that they
will enjoy It. Somo Of the statistical docu-
mehts accompanying the debates on this
subject show that the ordinary carrier de-
livers from 40 to 100 pounds Of mail matter
every day. and sometimes 30 pounds on one
trip. averaging fifteen miles on his daily
route, and In several instances reaching
twenty. Under the hot sun Of July and In
tho bitterest cold Of January, and whether
tho thoroughfares are deep with mud or
snow, the carriers are expected to make good
time on their rounds and to serve the public
a. usual
Tho vacation which Congress has just
granted Is not an unprecedented privilege In
postal systems. The English free delivery
system allows its carriers fifteen days' leave
Of absence each year without loss Of pay.
Indeed. 1t gives them more privileges-free
medical attendance and medicine when III
FREQ sleeping apartments for themselves II
single, and accommodations at q low rent
for their families II they are married; o re-
firing pension after faithful service Of flf-
teen or twenty years. Our American ways
and views are different from these, but they
nevertheless sanction q tour Of rest and
recreation for faithful carriers.
