GIVING HOLIDAY PRESENTS.

They are the noblcSt benefits, and sink
Deepest in man; Of which when he doth think,
The memory delights him more, from whom,
Than what he hath received.
J0Rsorls Ualsrrood.
The Christmas trade of our merchants
is now beginning to go with a rush and
those whose custom 1t is to give gifts to
their friends, are looking about and max
ing an assortment This is a pleasant
custom, and the pleasures it adds to Christ
mas time can not be estimated.
We will venture few suggestions to
those who are now purchasing gifts for
their relatives and friends.
Make out list of those whom you
wish to remember, not forgetting the
poor.
Consider the needs and tastes of your
friends. A costly gilt that is useless, will
often not ne rs well appreciated as a
cheaper one that is of some use. Nor
should we make the mistake OF thinking
lnll BECAUSE VIC Nsil uot AAlolN W hieiNN
costly gifts we had better make none ut
at all. A gift of very little money value
is often highly appreciated as token OF
remembrance.
Before going out to buy consult all adj
yertisements possible as to what is offered
for sale, and where it can be found. When
enterprising dealers have any choice Christ
mas goods for sale they always advertise
them So, before going out to purchase,
notice carfully the advertising columns
of the REGISTER.
Make your purchases early. Just be-
fore Christmas there is always such rush
in buying thata person is not ~ likely to
get what is appropriate, rs if he bought
earlier. Then too the holiday goods have
likely been culled over and the late buy
ers get second choice. So be in time.
And finally and above all, pay cash and
don't 90 beyond your means.
In gifts, regarl thy means and others merit,
Think heaven a better bargain than 10 give
Only thy single market money for IT,;
Join hands with Cod"

A npntist and a Prince.

A curious little story was told me illus
trative of the SnobbiShness of London
society an Of the real kindness of heart in
the family OF the Prince of Wales. There
is in London an American dentist who is
very Skillful In his profession, and among
other people has attended the Princess of
Wales. He was invited TO one of the an
nual garden parties at Marlborough house
and met there nearly fifty of his patients.
They cut him To n man. Soon after he
found himself face TO face with the prince
and princess, snd they at once gave him
the most cordial reception and shook him
warmly by the hand. At once every one
of the fifty patients pressed up to the
lucky dentist and shook hands with equal
warmth.-Sheffield Independent

not surer OF the head of CHARLES, when
CROMWELL put on his spurs and started
the Psalm of Marston Moor, than Is the
blind and foolish autocracv, to shame and
extinction. We speak truthfully and sor-
rowfully in this matter, as one who has
shared the shame of servitude and eaten It's
crust, and we do not wish to see The grand
old ship of labor organization capsize with
too much sail or sink with too many barn
acles. Trades Unions have as yet but half
fulfilled their mission, and their possible
future is far grander than the historic
past, but it is all conditional, on justice and
liberty. To gladly and bravely give an
other the freedom we claim ourselves, IS
the only way to perpetuate our own.
When men are wrong, and cowardly and
cross grained, use reason and not force
for that alone is the momentum OF pro-
Gress. be it in trades union or in En-
pire."
The words above quoted cannot be read
too often or thought of too much. They
are written by man who knows whereof
he speaks. Any man or body of men that
seeks to deprive their fellow-citizens of the
right to life, liberty and the pursuit OF
happiness, guaranteed to us by the cOnsti-
tuition need not expect to longer receive
the sympathy and support of the American
people. Cowper's words should read:
slaves cannot breathe in America; if their lungs
Receive our air, that moment they are free,
They touch our country and their shsekles fall.
That's noble, and beSpeaks a nation proud
And Jealous of the blessing.

Ritualism.

wish you would please tell me what is meant
by the term ritualiSt. ! often see the word used
in the newspapers and in books on religious mat
tiers. ID.
The ritualiStS are those Of the Episcopal
church who advocate returning to the forms
and ceremonies of the church before the
reformation. They celebrate what they call
mass, as in the Roman Catholic church, burn
candles and incense, wear embroidered vest
mentS and otherwise observe what is called
the ritual of former day.

NOT 4 CHANGE OF MASTERS, BUT
CHANGE FOR FREEDOM.

NOT \ CHANGE OF MASTERS, BUT
\ CHANGE FOR FREEDOM.
As long rs human society exists and hui
man nature remains the same the contest
between right and wrong will continue. If
tyranny and oppression are put down in
one form they will spring up under some
other disguise. BY labor organizations,
the tyranny and wrongs of monopoly have
been checked and relief given to the toilers
of our land. There has sympathy be-
tween man and man sprung up that shows
uobleness of character and virtue.
But when the enemies of justice are put
down in one place there is danger of them
springing up in the midst of the labor or
carnations to work their peril. They feel
their strength and on several occasions
strikes have been ordered rs was alleged
merely to show their strength" This
sense of strength makes bad C,eSer out of
gentle plebeiau and 4 Napoleon from an
humble CorSican. And it will do this in
organizations rs well rs with individuals.
A writer in the Age ofSteeI saysin regard
to this matter: That there is u tendency
in this direction with trades unions is
manifest. ThAy have abolished autocrlcy
in one direction to establish another. The
old poison has simply changed bottles
For example, the Ostracism and persistent
abuse Of men Who for reasons oftheir own,

he chooses, but not outstanding that ina

cases actually prohibited from employ
ment, and 90 where he will the sentence of
his communication follows HIM; he is a
trade Outcast, despiSed nOmad, and if
not victim to tyranny-pray where can
you find one outside Siberia, or q railway
black list. The same high hand is some
times shown with employees, they are
sworn to schedule fwages in which the
competent and incompetent fare
alike-the employment of non-union
men is made crime, punishable with a
boycott or a strike. We have examples
in mind and evidence, and we plainly say,
that this autOcracy is simply transfer of
the old despotism from syndicate to a
club, and that it will share the same fate
of dropping into the grass, when the apple
is rotten. Public sentiment in the long
run agrees with what is fair and just, and
all that is not so, cali it what you may,
and explain it asyOu can, is suicidal and
disastrous. As between the cat and the

The charges upon sleeping cars have
always been so large that they should
have covered the service of attendants as
well as the use of a berth. Yet every
generous minded person has felt under a
moral obligation to fee the porter because
he knew that the porter's employers gave
him so small wages that unless the paSSen-
gers came to his rescue he would be shame
fully underpaid. The Wisconsin Central
Railroad company has just announced
new departure IN this matter. 1t has
Oscided TO increase the pay Of the porters
and walters employed on its sleeping and
dining cars to an amount which will give
them ample compensation for their work
and prohibit them from receiving tips"
from passengers. Orders have been issued
to them to receive no money from any
passenger except for backing shoes,
when requested" to do so, for which
service they are permitted TO accept ten
cents. This is practical way of dealing
with the fee problem and is the only prac-
teal way.-New York Mail and Express.

BOYCoTTING THE CHINESE TO
AID THE WOMEN WAGE WORK

AID IHE NOMhN WAVE WYNN
ERS.
The labor organizations in some Of the
Western towns are considering the proprl-
ETY. of hoycntting the Chinese laundrios, as
a means to benefit American women who
make their living by washing. But TINS
would reach only one class, and the thOus-
ands of women who toll in shops and fac
tories and over sewing machines would not
be benefited. 1t is notorious fact that
there are hundreds of thousands Of women
in the larger cities who work early and
late for merely enough wages to keep soul
and body together. To deal with the
question we must get at the cause, instead
of merely trying to fight the results.
The New York Tribune has been investi-
eating the woman wage workers problem
in New York city. 1t says:
Parental influence is too frequently
exercised mischievously, and to the last
ing injury of the young. Among the
causes which prevent so many girls from
seeking the comfortable and well-paid
career offered by domestic service IS the
silly pride of mothers. These latter have
worked hard all their lives, and the only
conclusion they have drawn from their ex-
Terrence is that their daughters shall never
toll in the same way. So they rear the
children in idleness. They are taught no
occupation or handicralt. All the iriv-
olity and laziness in their nature is tos-
tered as of purpose. They scorn to be ser
wants. And presently, when the mothers
die or are crippled, these use
| less creatures are compelled to
work or starve, then they either
90 to the bad OF fall into the Over-crOwded
ranks of the sewing-wOmen. In the latter
event their destiny is generally fixed. They
are incapable of raising themselves. They
yield periorce to external pressure. And
soon they sink into autOmatOns, and end
their lives in servitude exceeding IN
severity any of the careers of honest IN
dustry from which their foolish parents
desired to protect them"
During the past year, repeated calls
have been made throughout the cities for
efficient domestics and good wages have
been offered. But though 80 many
women have been tOiling for a mere pit
lance, their prejudice has prevented them
from accepting the remuneratiye offers.
More common sense and less traditional
prejudice is the need of the hour. What
is implied in the TiTbURe's words is worth
thinking of.
