A MISTAKEN FRENCHMAN.

Henry Haynie. Partisan journalist
who is connected with the Figaro and
who writes letters to American news
papers. is in this country, and as mat
ter of course he is compelled to talk to
reporters. In some things which he
says he conveys the impression that he
is either woefully ignorant or deplor-
ably r ckless. For instance, last week
he said, when speaking for publication:
The trouble with Frenchman is that
every one of them thinks he can run
affairs as we'll as anybody else. Even
common workman feels that he would
make as good president as Sadi Car
not. Now, in America, it is quite diff
ferept. Here most m IN feel that they
are not equal to csrtsin high positions,
and the ablsst are chosen. The French
ought to take lessons from Amer
leans" 1t is possible that the French
mans native politeness has led him to
to talk in this strain; but just til TX of it,
an American who doesn't regard him
self as equal to the requirements of any
positioa! Now, Mr.. Haynis would do
Barnum service which could not be
Adequately paid for, and at the same
time add to the attractiveness of the
greatest show on earth, by pointing out
one of these Americans who are modest
in politics. Why, there are fully five
million men in the United States who
honestly believe they can manage the
affairs of the nation much better than
Mr.. Cleveland has managed them; and
We would like to know what Office any
one of these five millions would be
afraid to tackle. And this lack of mod
esty is not the worst of it; the trouble
IS, the incompetent fellows too often |
get into the off ,es because they are not |
modest. There is Riddlebarger, in the
concerning him and his difidence? And |
how about the Ioaho legislators? The
great majority of them may know
something about mixed drinks and ,,
jack pots. but how many of them have
developed the least qualification as a
Iawmaker?
It is imagined that in politics the
French are ofh;ious aud ambitious, but
Americans will PIT them to the blush |
every time, as Mr.. Haynie will learn if
he shall stay in this country through |
an elecioneering campaign.

DON'T. PLEASE.

The Philadelphia Times. in an edi-
tnrial article on "a mockery of State
hood" sayagely attacks the decaying
commonwealth of Nevada which casts
no more votes than one of the wards in
Philadelphia. 1t is all proper enough
to assail the Insignificant and corrupt
borough in the west, but what justif-
cation is there for such talk as this,
with which the article closes?
The difficulty in the way of the proper
solution of the Nevada blister upon the ma
tional escutcheon is in the sovereign rights
which pertain to Statehood, when once
conferred however insignificant al dis
creditable the State may be: If Nevada
could be stripped of her Statehood beca use
of insufficient population, where would
thu disrobtng of States stop under
the incentive of party necessities?
The true solution would seem TO be
California, which would probably be unac
captable to the people OF both States and is
therefore inpracticable, or the extension of
the Nevada Statehood over Utah, under such
restrictions as would make the recognition
of polygamy impossible. The people OF
Nevada might agree to such union. as
they must be heartily diseusted with their
anomalous and discreditable attitude IN the
sisterhood of States; and, with Nevada as
sentiug, Utah could be annexed with or
Withou. consent, as Territories are entirely
sum 4ct to the laws of Congress. Just how
the Nevada mockery of S .atehood shall be
solved, seems uncertain, but when single
ward out of tnirty-one wards in this city,
equals Nevada in vote and far surpasses
heri1 popula ion, it is high time that the
problem be solved III some way approaching
common justice to the dignity of our State.

1t is the inconsiderate. imperious way
of treating Utah here proposed that

and unrepublican, and to constantly

that the Territories are subject to the

because the laws of Congress as applied
to the Territorial government do not

CHRISTMAS.
1.-THE dawn rose red DER Bethlehem,
The stars shone thru the gray,
When Jesus Christ, our Savior,
Was born on Christmas. day


Bethlehem, when unto US child was
born" and whence came the message
to all time: ION earth peace! Goodwill
to men," 1t has been a wonderful his
tory which that Wonderful Birth gave
to mankind. Down to the day when
the Savior came to redeem men, the
gloom of the world grew darker and
more binding. Heather systems had
reached the cIimax-had accomplished
all they could do. There was
refinement, but it was that of
gilded vice and sensuality. The
condition of morals and men in
those days was such that even
the books of our time are silent on the
subject; modesty and decency and pub
lie sentiment, all demand that this dis
Greet reticence be observed. Popular
history gives as the story of the ancients
only at their best, and it is we'll that is
so. We may know, however, in gen.
eraI way that the light of Christianity,
which came in a blaze, broke upon
dark and gloomy world.
Christmas is the anniversary OF the
founding of a kingdom greater and
grander than all others and to which
every nation may acknowledge allegi
ancs without surrendeTing autonomy.
The first Christmas proclaimed King
to whom all may DOW without disloyalty
to their mertaI soYereigns. 1t is to
that Ruler that civilized and intelligent
people everywhere pay homage, and re-
main true and loyal patriots to their
own governments. 1t is true that CEN
turtles passed before men and nations
began to appreciate the meaning OF the
coming of the Babe. Bethlehem was the
central point in the course Of the
world, and from there the light spread;
but there werei ages Of prosecutions, OF
battles With the brave benighted, of
blood, before the regeneration was fairly
under way. Nearly nineteen hundred
years have gone, and the reign Of Peace
is not yet here. Hostile ideas are still
entertained in the councils of nations,
and the influence of Christ has not so
psrmea.ei mankind as to o7eraTe and
destroy the sentiment which makes
governments miscail war glory. Wrath
and anger still lingsr on earth, and. sad
as it is, they are with the religious sects
and among the believers in the mission
of the blessed Jesus. But there has
been such wonderful progress that
there is rejoicing at the coming of the
anniversary The perfect day is not
yet here. Evil still blunts the moral
sense, and the ways of the world con-
tinue to obscure the mental vision; but
the world grows better, and has done
since Christ came; experience encour-
ages hope and leads to the conviction
that in time all will acknowledge the
Saviour as He would be acknowledged,
and this Birthday will be the one ami
Versary which the human family will
celebrate.

a merry one, for the reason that the
people believe in Him whose birth we
celebrate; because there is an earnest
honest, sincere desire to follow in the
ways which he lead, and because there
is a popular consciousness of doing
right as He proclaimed the right to be.
The merriment is in the heart, and that
being true and pure there will be joy in
spite of untoward physical circum-
stances. With considerable portion
of the community the pleasures of the
day will be somewhat marred by the
consciousness of the restraint and in
fiction imposed upon some who are
held in high esteem; but the pain which
comes from that knowledge is not of
the kind which depresses and makes
the heart bitter; it is OF the kind which
stimulates sorrow for the oppressor
rather than h. tired towards anybody.
The year has been one of spiritual i'm.
provement as well as of material pro-
gress. The belief in Christ is frmer
than ever before, and His worship was
never more honest and sincere. In this
there is cause for rejoicing; and in the
fact that prosperity has rewarded the
efforts of the community is found oc-
cssion for the merrimcnt which one
witnesses on all sides.

The following dispatch shows that
the MINT il not to be closed for
some time yet:
WASHINGTON, March 21.-The in
crease Of business done at the Car
son lhtfEench, a., to warrant Di-
rector Kimball of the Mint to say
that the orders for the discontinue
ance OF work will be recalled, as an
appropriation will undoubtedly be
obtained to continue the work at
the Mint, and Senator Stewart has
been assured that the transfer OF
Meter and Refiner futile from the
Carson to the Philadelphia Mint
will in nowise interfere with the
work at the Office. Assistant Melt
or and Refiner Parker will continue
in charge until Tuttle's successor IS
appointed. It is believed that John
H. Dennis, of Nevada, who is at
present in the internal revenue
service in Utah, will be given the
appointment.
It was the APPEAL which first ad-
v,sed the friends of silver in Nevada
to stop holding silver conventions
and do some practical work. 1t
pointed out the only real remedy,
and that was for the Comstock
mining companies to stop sending
their silver to San Francisco and to
give it to the home MINT. They
acted on the suggestion, and the re-
suit is exactly as the APPEAL pre-
dicted.
The Washington dispatch says
that the order for closing the Mint
will be recalled because of the an
crease of business. Sending good
solid bars of bullion to the Mint
does more good than all the weary,
long-winded silver speeches that
have ever been inflicted on the
country. Make business for the
Mint and it will never be closed.
