A CHRISTMAS THOUGHT.

But Christ is come and 10 around
This sunless, cold, and barren night
His shining arm of strength is wound,
Drawing the darkness into light.
What though the old shall perish2 Still,
Fresh from its wintry grave shall start
A life renewed, a nobler will,
A stronger and more steadfast heart.
And more than this: the blasted fruit,
The fallen leaf, the years regret,
Shall feed the soil from which shall shoot
The harvest Of our being, yet.

Victoria Morensi Mrs. Smelling has
evidently studied earnestly to perfect
herself in the knowledge of vocalism.
Assigned at first a small part in the cast
OF "Amorita, in which she had solo of
about five bars, she sang it so well that
she was encored at each performance,
and now she has been promoted from a
chorus singer to prima donna. In the
meantime, her husband is earning an
honest livelihood as conductor of Sixth
avenue car. 1t is a custom of mine to
ride on the front platform of the surface
car and talk to the drivers. They have
crisp, lncisive philosophy of their own
that is worth studying, and they become
loquaclous after few kind words and
the presentation of cigar, You should

At the close ofhis visit, Canon Farrar
delivered an address, as it were, to the
whole American people, entitled "Fare-
well Thoughts on America. It deserves
to be read and pondered for its wise
counsels and broad ana liberal views:
ut would be false and idle to say that
you have no perils, that there are no
sunken rocks and no dangers in the line
of your ship of state. 1t is not for me, it
is hard for any stranger to deal with the
complicated problem of nationalities. He
cannot know much or any more about
your spoils system than he reads in your
papers, about bosses and bossism, about
the danger ola purely secularized cduca-
ton, about the possible existence of all
the forms Of liberty without their reality,
about the wire-pulling, about the corrup-
ton which in some of your cities is said
to characterize your municipal govern
ment. He can but read complaints in
your leading reviews. Twill quote their
own words, of evils calculated to humili-
ate and discourage those who have faith
in republican institutions, of false ideal
Of life which puts material interests above
the spiritual, and which makes riches the
supreme object of human endeavor and
the absorbing passion for paltry emula-
ton. But not for one moment should
your most pessimisttc citizen despair.
To despair of America would be to de-
SPAR of humanity. If the government
ofthe many becomes in your hands re-.
proach and a by-word. mankind might
hereafter despair of establishing govern
ment. To deepen in the world as
America is doing, the sense of the neces-
sity for religious tolerance, to show the
beautiful spectacle of churches which trv
to supplement and not supersede each
other. Seventhly, to work outthe fear
less, intelligent correlation of religious
tradition with the advancing KNOWLEDGE
humankind If Christianity is to hold her
own, Christianity must beware of STAG
nant doctrines and dead theologies. The
ology must learn to change her mind
voluntarily and by her own insight, and
not be forced to do 50 only when the
Strangling grasp of science or criticism
IS at her throat. It is the work of Amer
lca' lastly, to show the nations the trpe

Evening Session .

| Upon meeting for the evening session the
house resolved itself into committee of the
whole, Mr.. Evans in the chair, and proceeded
with the consideration of bills, of which there
were sixty-seven house and five senate bills
on general orders. A total of twelve bills
were con sidered, of which the following were
indefinitely postponed Relating to chat ell
mortgages for a third hospital for the insane,
Stordock; relating to the duties of county
surveyors, Plasance. The others were rec
commended to pass. When the committee
rose the house adjourned.
The high license discussion in the senate
| proved so great an attraction to house men,
bers that the body was left without quorum
and call of the house had TO be had before
| business could be proceeded with.
TAXING TELEGRAPH COMPANIES.
The bill of Mr.. Lee, proposing to tax tele
graph, telephone, express, sleeping and din
ing car companies on gross earnings, was up
again last evening. Amendments were
offered striking out all but the portions refer
ring to telegraph and telephone companies,
but they were rejected. Mr.. Cornish spoke
at length against the theory of taxation pro-
posed, claiming that such companies could
and were reached by direct taxation,
and that by the passage of the bill the ex-
penses of the companies would be largely in
creased, all of which the consumers, the
patrons of the company, would have to pay.
In answering Mr.. Cornish on this point Mr..
Myers said the property valuation of the coun
try was 800 000, 900, 900, but Sl5. 900, 900, 900
of which was taxed, the balance being in the
hands of the great corporations. The people
were begin ming TO think it was time this in
equality should cease, and that these corpor-
atoms be made to bear their just share OF
taxation. The bill under consideration was
step in this direction and it ought to pass.
The motion to recommend the bill to pass
was adopted by very large majority.
CHURCH PARSONAGEs.

church parsonages from taxation, after being

Adjourned
Is the Bill Dead?

There is of course a wide divergence of
opinion as to the real status of the bill, the
opponents claiming it is defeated, and the
friends, that no quorum voting when the
roll was called on its passage, it stands be-
fore the senate precisely as it did before that
roll call. Talking with GLOBE reporter
Senator Castle, a senator of long experience
and generally clear-headed takes the position
that the presiding officer having ascertained
the fact from the report of the sergeAnt-at-
arms that quorum of members were pres
ent in the chamber and in their seats when
the roll was called was justified in his declar-
alton declaring the bill lost,
Notwithstanding the fact that II
sufficient number refused to answer 10 their
names to make the number voting less than
a quorum. Further, be said the friends of
the bill, in their anxiety to prevent a
quorum, bad overlooked the privilege en-
joyed of placing themselves in a position,
by voting with the prevailing party, to move
reconsideration whenever their full strength
was present. As it is now, no friend of the
measure is in position TO move a recon
sideratiOn, and in losing the power to use
that right, he believed they had lost all power
to revive the bill, and that as the record
would stand, in his opinion, the bill was
dead beyond the hope Of resurrection.

Not fer DisisiOu.

In recent interview with one of the lead
ing statesmen of South Dakota, who now
holds a territorial Office, he gave it as his
opinion, based upon intimate acquaintance
with all parts of the South, that the mass OF
the people of that section are not really in
favor OF division, and will vote it down if
they are allowed vote on the question. In
confirmation of this view, he said that Min
nehaha county, of which Sioux Falls is the
capital, and where Pettigrew. the great leader
of division, resides, gave several hundred
majority last year against the state copstitu-
ton, and that Union, Clay, Lincoln and other
counties in the extreme south, voted almost
unanimously against the movement. The
counties near the line o. division he thinks
will be found almost solid in favor of one
state Division, he says, is chiefly urged by
politicians and the localities that hope to get
the capital. He does not believe it will ever
he effected.

senators who have discharged their whole
duty were not allowed to depart. He wanted
TO know why he was detained by closed doors.
He had voted upon the bill.
Senator c. d. Gilflan wanted to know
why it was that Senators Bilson, j. B. Gil
illan and Pillsbury had not voted. There
were those present who appeared to personate
them, and the rules required them to vote or
be excused.
Senator j. B. Gilfllan said that there were
some things which looked like budozng and
asked if there was anything to compel SEN
ators 10 vote if they did not want to do So
Senator G. D. Gilfillan said If they had an Y
respect for the rules there was
Senator Billson said he would not vote so
long as lie was submitted to the indignity of
false Imprisonment.
By order of the chair the door was thrown
open, and as the secretary continued the
ron call of "BiIlson," Clement" "Com-
stock, "Craig," etc., Senator Billson de-
parted.
Senator Peck called attention to the fact
that the sergeant-at-arms had been directed
to furnish list OF those present who would
not vote.
The president stated that the sergeant had
done his duty in that respect and that the
names Of such senators would be recorded
in the journal
At O'Clock the president declared that
there was more than a quorum present.
that there were two votes for the bill and
twenty-one against, and be declared the
bill lost because senators present would not
vote
He then announced the following as the

Wires for Dnkotidns.

Col. Donan has found so many opportu
mites in the East, and West, too, as far as st.
Louis, to put in work for the great territory
of which he is so proud, that he has been IN
able to connect with the Dakota department
Of the New Orleans exposition as yet. He
is a confirmed bachelor from the fact that he
loves the sex so we'll that he is unwilling to
choose between the hundreds who would be
glad to secure him, but in the warm feryor
of his great heart he has undertaken to pro-
vide wives for the needy in the territory
from the excess of fair material in the East.
In pursuance of this patriotic scheme he
published a fervent appeal in the New York
Sun, of which this is an extract:
