"On Earth Peace, Good Will towards Men.

The browning glory ot the Christ
mastide which We shall soon celebrate
finds its sweetest expression in that
glad refrain of the angels y ho greeted
the Wise Men of the East singing
''Glorv be 10 God in the highest. and
on earth peace, cool will towards
men," The melody of that music
comes down 10 us ringing through
the corridors of time. We NAV catch
the inspiration, if we will. from the
manifold evidences of Gods mercy and
goodness that meet us on every side. and
the beautiful harmony of His laws
Should 10 the Christian believer
mirror that peace, which rests. like the
gentle and refreshing dew, upon all
mankind. The glad tidings OF great
JOY, that came from Heaven Ii arly two
centuries ago, are repeated with the
return of each Christmas season when
the birth of the Great Messiah is com
memorated. The angels are still pro
claiming: ':To you is born Il Saviour.
who is Christ, the Lord, aud the fee
BILE lispings of the faithful will min
gle with the songs of the angels when
on Christmas morn the JOYOUS car
OILS shall be sung. Ii we receive in
true spirit the ''glad tidings,'' the i'm,
pulse will be to render unto God more
abundant thanksglvings,and by our lib
crafty to the poor manifest gratitude
to Him who gave to mankind that
best gift of all--eternal life. For re-
member it was He who sail. when iu-
culcating the doctrine of human love
and charity ''Inasmuch rs We have
done it unto one of the least of these
my brethren, We have done il unto me. -
If Christmas, then. is to be celebra-
ted by deeds of love, let the little
ones of every household be remember
ed, first of all. Their innocent Young
hearts, that have never been bruised bv
care and trouble, can enter into the
full spirit of the season with mirth
and gladness. The visions of Santa
Claus in childhood, the awakening of
feelings of thankfulness TO the liberal
giver of their little gifts, will blossom
later in life into beautiful flowers of
Christian faith and love. The lesson
of the Christmastide is full of profit
and comfort to all, if it is accepted in
its true meaning The bencfactions
of the Heavenly Father should be re-
hected in our lives at all times. but
they will shine with transcendent bril-
liancy when We commemorate the birth
of the Saviour Of mankind. if We have
the impulse and the will to make it so.
To all the readers of THE ENQUIRER
may the Christmas of 1888 be one of
great joy-the joy that thrills every
Christians heart. To many it will be
merry season, rs it should for mirth
is the Keynote OF human happiness.

The Cabinet Question

The Cabinet question still contin-
ues to be an absorbing one in the 20
litical world. All kinds of specula
tons are ahoat as to General Harrison's
probable selections. But the Difficult
ties that surround the Presilent-elect
IN the form of rivairies seem 10 be on
the increase. Mr.. Blaine's friends are
assuming an aggressive attitude, while it
IS well known that a powerful element
throughout the country will resist his
appointment to the most important
place in the Cabinet. Quay is here.
there and everywhere. All ewes are
upon him, and after his visit to Indian
apolis there will be great eagerness to
hear what he has to say. he did an
important work in the last campaign.
and if he does not get the credit of
Harrison election, he helped might
ly towards 1t; and it would he base
lngratitude not to allow his influence
to be felt in the organization of the
Cabinet. His opinion seems to be that
the factional elements that are now
disturbing the harmony of the party
should not be recognized. 1t is gen
orally conceded that the appointment
of Mr.. Blaine would create feeling
that would ''cause the new admins
tratlon great embarrassment The
lines are strongly drawn on this ques-
ton, and evidently trouble is brewing.
1t is said that whatever influence QUAY
may have will be cast against
Blame. The relations between Con
gress and the White House after March
fourth next do not promise to be alto
gether pleasant. Gen. Harrison has
taken no one into his confidence. and
this causes uneasiness. Norton and
Quay are the only ones he has invited
to consultation. 1t has been well said,
if Blaine is made Secretary of State il
mems ';rule for him or ruin" If. how
ever, the independence and self-reli-
ance which the President-elect is said
t. possess are asserted, the ambitious
and intellectual man from Maine will
give trouble, and Gen. l,:,.rison seems
to realize this. And vet Blaine's
friends nominated Harrison nj Chicago
ouu iHe ''tdiS Iai t44iCHl lpi iLtiF
chief was pledged. How the difficulty
will be solved remains 10 Dc seen.
The quarrel between the leaders in
New York makes Il second difficulty.
Miller wants TO 20 into the Cabinet
and is strongly urged for appointment.
Platt, however, wants to be- Secretary
Of the Treasury, and he has claims
upon General Harrison, for through
him the New York delegation was car
ried for the nominee at Chicago, after
Depew was out of the field. He is ad-
mitted to be SO strong that the Navy
department would be given him. if he /.
would accept it. But as consequence
of the wrangle, the Empire State may
be left ont in the deal. The Cabinet /.
makers are still busy, and it looks us
if but little has been definitely deter
mined upon. How long the Pre- i /
dent-elect will hold out against the .
Blaine faction depends only upon the .
amount of backbone he has. for We
believe he will IN the end have to
yield. Would it not in this case be /
we'll for him TO remember that dis .
erection is the better part Of yalor.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE secre-
tary of the interior has rendered the
following important decision involving
the question of residence upon home
stead entries prior to making final
proof:
"To the Commissioner of the General
Land Office-Sir: / have considered the
your Office, decision of July 9, 1886, re-
jecting his final proof for the land
therein mentioned. l think this man is
entitled to his patent. He made his
decarlatory statement April 26,
1888, alleging settlement the week be-
fore, and shows that he made it. 1t ap-
pears that he was absent during most of
the following summer, that he was on
the land from fall until the following
spring, absent again during the succeed
ing summer; again upon the land from
fall until spring and not absent six
months at any one time: that he applied
the proceeds of his labor during the two
seasons when he was absent to the
building of his house and making i'm
provements on his land, now valued at
5000; that he was poor man and his
absence was for the purpose of earning
the means to improve his land, and that
he devoted all the fruits of his earnings
with fidelity to that purpose. In the
spring of the third year
HE LEFT AGAIN
and remained absent until the follow
ing January, his purpose being to earn
sufficient money to pay the govern
ment for his land. The amount neces-
sary was 5000, considerable sum for
a laborer to save from his wages dur
ing the year in addition to the neces-
sary fees and expenses. He appears to
have done it, and Notwithstanding he
was not personally present upon his
land during the last six months preced-
ing the completion of his entry, the fact
cannot deny his right. He made "a
settlement in person. OH this land, has
erected a dwelling thereon, he has inn
proved the land and he has inhabited it
in good faith. When it is considered
that this tract was situated many miles
from the ordinary highways, remote
from settlements generally, that it is
very difficult of access, and yet that he
has persistently clung to it for three
years, applying all the results of his
labor to it's Improvement and purchase,
it is difficult to discern a case more
worthy of being found marked by good
faith. 1t is marked by good faith. His
'inhabitancy' of the land is not i'm
peached after his residence was once Sc
cured by his going abroad to procure
means to bring back there to improve it
and obtain title to it. l must reverse
your decision and direct patent to
issue to the claimant.
