putting that paper in antagonism to its

more of the breath of Spring in it in COM

quite agree with our cotemporary in urging
upon members Of Congress to give theil
time to the consideration Of those question:
which affect the welfare of the country anC
the interests of the people, rather than t'
those which tend solely to the Strengthening
of party. The two subjects specially Sc
forth as demanding deliberation are, Tarit
revision and the money question. Tha
there is Il need for revision of our revenu,
laws and tariff modification there can be n'
question, but just where to stop, the prope
line to settle upon in the conflict betweei
our domestic and foreign interests is on
calling for the wisest craftsmanship. Tn
silver question is set forth as the next grea
question for the consideration of Congress
We differ with our cOtempOrary widely o.

The Season Of Gifts.

The stOrekeepers have in the main
laid in their stock of holiday goods,
and the weather of the past week
would be enough in itself to suggest the
near approach Ofthe great holiday, even
if the calendar didn't. Advertisements
appear in the daily papers to tell where
to go for the grand display of Christmas
goods, and our town dealers give notice
to purchasers where to buy Christmas
presents.
But even the merchants in the prepa-
rations for the holidays have been an
ticipated. The careful mothers, the
thoughtful sister, the lady who has an
esteemed friend she wants to surprise,
have been in some cases for weeks plan
ming and executing pretty designs as
expressions of good cheer and kind re-
membrance. From this time until the
Natal day that celebrates Gods great
gift to the world, the mysteries will
thicken around the family hearth. Lit
tie bits of sewing will be done in locked
rooms, and conversations in whispers
will assume the form of startled quiet,
when, unannounced, some one softly
interrupts the consultation. The little
ones will begin to unlock their money
banks, and many anxious questions will
arise as to that subject, which the mer-
camille world discussessO often, whether
the supply will equal the demand.
Mammals brow will begin to gather the
usual Christmas wrinkle, furrowed by
"pros and cons )" and papa, who should
be all pocket, feels the responsibility Of
the head of the house.
The Christmas season can be a time
of Joy and good will, ;" even il grain is
low and the times hard" It is moi
the expensive gift, but the good will
the kindly remembrance, that bring
joy to the day. Neither papa, mamma
little children, nor the children OF
larger growth, should make Christina
by their demands a season of terror u
those they love. "Give what you can
but don't give what you cannot AFFORD,
} is good advice at this time. Let IN
} gift be simple, but let love surrouno !
> Let the offering be more from the near
: than from the purse, then Will Chris'
l mas be a time Of delight and JOY '
