SECRETARY Of the Interior, Lamar,
has ordered his department closed TO
day in respect to the memory NJ Jacob
Thompson, President Prchanan's Seere-
tary Of the Interior. We reckon this is
all right, brit somehow it strikes us a
little ans of place that such respect
should be shown to the memory Of a
man who resigned from the cabinet to
go into rebellion against the Govern
ment. Upon the same principle, II
will be perfectly in order to drape the
capitol in black when JEFF. Davis shut
fles off this mortal coil to join his coad
tutors in rebellion.

Eugene Higgins, the recent appointeel
In the treasury department, has proved
himself very valuable man TO his
party, in the case Of an emergency, and
as Senator German was fully aware Of
his peculiar methods, his appointment
must be regarded as an Enforcement OF
the same ON his part. Be this ~ 1t
may, If Mr.. Manning continues him In
office, we must conclude that he Is q
man after his own heart, and that bal
lot box stufing, in order to elect Demo-
Gratis to Office, Is virtue in his eyes.
The President, too, must also be regard
ed as party to the matter, and II
Higgins should be continued in office,
we may expect the speedy pardon of
the two ballot box suffers recently
convicted and sent to prison for en-
deavoring to make 1t appear that q GER
tain Democrat had been elected to the
Illinois Senate instead Of Republican,
who received majority of the votes
cast.
Mr.. Higgins, however, is but little IL
any more corrupt than q majority OF the
prominent politicians in the Southern
States, and 80 long rs they are petted
and appointed to office, it must seem
hard to make a scapegoat Of him. Mr.
Cleveland knows very we'll that with
out bulldozing, fraudulent counting
and ballot box stuffing, he could no
have been declared elected President o
the United States. 1t is hard to max

DURING the late Presidential cam
paign the New York Evening Post
called Rev. DIR. Ball, Of Buffalo, New
York, some very uncomplimentary
names, amongst which were villifer,
liar, scandalizer, perjurer and such
like. OF course the Post thought all 1t
had to do was to puff itself mp with
self importance, and blow DR.. Ball out
of existence. But the Post has found
by this time that the Rev. gentleman
1t villified is ahard rock to blow against
as the Supreme Court, through Mr..
Balls request, has ordered the Post to
give Q bill Of particulars Of its charges
against him. In short, DR.. Ball is
turning up as very troublesome Gus.

Rev. Doctor gets through with the Libel

cartridges the other day, and on arriv.

picking one of them with pin, when

badly. DIR. Kollock amputated the

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND is keeping
up his reputation for making creditable
appointments to thes diplomatic corps.
The appointment Of Mr.. Cox, as Minis.

France and Mexico, but such appoint
ments are terribly hard on the machine
that elected the President.

THE Morning Times hopes that Presi-
dent Cleveland and Secretary Manning
will have backbone enough to retain
Higgins, despite the efforts made by his
opponents to retire him." The Times

elected who, under an alias, pistol and

moral reform at least. Its reform takes
the turn Of putting honest Republicans
out of office TO put Democratic rascals
In.

LATER reports do not look as if Gen
eral Graham's victory over the Arabs
in the Soudan was such a very great
victory after all. 1t only went to show
that the Arabs are brave and know
how to break the boasted English hcl-
low square of soldiers. The British
merely repulsed the enemy and barely
saved their army from total annihila-
ton. 1t must not be forgotten too that
we hear only the British side of the
story, and it is highly colored for
effect. If we could hear the story Of
the Arabs it might be quite differen,
one. At all events it is hard to see
what England has accomplished thu,
far. She is no nearer the object of hel
pursuit now than when she commenced
the war for the relief of Gordon--indeed
1t looks as if she had taken a step back
wards, and now it seems as If her Sou
dan campaign would be miserable
failure.

St. Nicholas Eve.
Boston Globe.l

In many parts of Switzerland, Germany
and the Netherlands ST. Nicholas still dis
tributes his presents on St Nicholas Eve
the 9th of December-instead of Christ
mas Eve. In the Netherlands he is espec-
tally popular, and is, perhaps, the only
saint who has maintained his full credit,
even among Protestants Dec 6 is the
day to which the Dutch, both old and
young. look forward with greatest ex-
pectancy, and from which they date the
minor events of the year.
st. Nicholas now comes to the front
His episcopal form greets ones eyes every
wherein the shop-window, on the street.
in the home-and his name greets the ear
from 10, 900 melli1uous Dutch tongues.
The thoroughfares are crowded, shop
keepers are busy and happy Bakers are
taxed to the utmost Great vans thunder
through the streets, laden with gilt bun
dies and boxes of every shape and size
The official "criers, " who are licensed by
the authorities to perform errands, &C
company unprotected females to their
homes or other places of destination, a
highly trusted and useful body, in peculiar
costumes are fitting hither and thither as
messengers of St Nicholas. 1t is time
for the universal giving and receiving of
presents, in which the children deservedly
have the lions share. The gifts are
anonymous, and of every imaginable kind.

Silent Christmases.

lHezekiah Butterworth in Wide Awake
The first "Still Christmas" in Eng
land occurred in 1926 Henry VIII
was king, and he had not yet forfeited the
respect of his subjects; but great political
events were at hand
In December the king was sick The
nation was filed with anxiety It was
decided that the Christmas should be a
silent one; there was no carols bells or
merry makings.
Silent Christmases were proclaimed in
the protectorate of Cromwell. The fes-
tival was altogether abolished, and the
display of the emblems of the Nativity
was held to be seditious. The change was
most notable In London. There was 81
lence on the Strand. The church bells
were still. st. Paul lifted its white roofs
over the Thames. and Westminster abbey
its towers, but the tides of happy people
In holiday attire no more poured in and
out of those ancient fanes. The holly and
ivy no more appeared in the windows of
the rich and the poor. The Yule fires
were not kindled, nor the carols sung.
Bells Indeed rung out on the frosty air,
but how different from the chimes of old!
They were the hand bells of the heraIds in
simple garb passing from street to street
and smiling the air and crying out:
mo Christmasl No Christmasl"
Heads filled the windows and figures the
doors. Crowds stopped on the corners of
the streets and in the squares. The cry
went on:
mo Christmas! No Christmasl"
It Snote the hearts of those who loved
the old ways and customs.

Too Exclusively Commercial.

The gift bearing Christmas tide has for
some years been losing the fragrance of
the sentiment which should dominate it.
There is too much of the mere trading
feature in it. The exchange of gifts is
too often regarded as compulsory. There
is trading of purchases, a tumultuous
crowding to meet obligations, as if we
nearly up. We act too much as if we
were paying impatient creditors The
old Christmas sentiment it is true, reigns
in many hearts, but the fact that it is actu-
ally waning is depressing. We are be-
coming too exclusively commercial.
