St. Louis Children Made Happy.

ST. LOUIS, Mo. Dec. % .-TheIe was
a rare scene ut the Exposition building
to-day, the occasion being the distribu-
ton of presents to the children of the
poor from the Post Dispatch Christmas
tree, for which fund of nearly $40 ZOO
had been subscribed by the general pub
lie. The subscriptions were started with
Decent contributions, with no idea of the
magnitude the affair was to assume, and
the result has far exceeded the most
sanguine expectations of the projectors
Fully Is 900 children received presents
and for hours the streets in the vicinity
of the Exposition building were blocked
with humanity. The children began ar
irving as early as a. m and it was late
i'll the evening before the mites of hui
mainly had disappeared. A detail of
fifty police took charge of the entrance of
the building. Soon after the citizens
committee put in an appearance the
doors were opened and the great crowd
of children began to pour into the
hall. 1t was a difficult job
to control the eager ones, but
no accidents occurred. No adults
were admitted owing to a lack of room,
but hundreds of parents waited on the
outside in the drilling rain until their
children came out loaded with presents
from the great tree. The Cavalry De-
partment Band, by permission of the
secretary of war, furnished music for
two hours entertainment given by ar
rangement of the citizens committee.
The tree, which was placed on the stage,
was an immense affair, towering away i'll
the skies and loaded with presents.
The morning scene was repeated in the
afternoon and Tonight the public were
admitted. There will be found several
thousand dollars remaining from tO-day's
entertainment and it will be utilized for
purchasing clothing, shoes, etc, for
children of the poor. After the enter
tainment John ]. Jennings of the Post
Dispatch, the originator of the Christmas
tree project and by whose efforts it was
chiefly carried out, was presented with
an elegant gold watch by the citizens
committee

almost certain that RIvrs would have

There is, therefore, good reason for

must not lose sight Of the fact that
every Democratic vote in the district
will be needed for CLEVELAND, since
the two Republican candidates will call

The Hypocrrtes.

1t does not appear from the New
York Worlds report of the speeches of
BLAINE and FORAKER in New York last
Saturday night that either one Of those
gentlemen referred TO any sectional mat
ter whatever. FORAKER was, it is true,
compelled to stop speaking by the
clamorous calls for BLAINE, and it is
possible that he would have tried
TO fire the northern heart If he
had not been constrained to take his
seat before he had ended oil he had
intended to say upon that occasion. But
we suppose not The National Com
mittee probably gave him instructions.
We recently stated that Mr.. CLEvE-
LAND re- election, il accomplished at all,
would be due to the large-minded, libe-
raj people of the States OF Indiana, New
York, New Jersey, and Connecticut,
there being no prospect that he would
carry one of the five narrow minded
New England States or any one OF the
northwestern States upon which New
England fanaticism and bigotry had
been impressed by settlers from that
bleak region. 1t is said that the Repub-
lican National Committee tells the
speakers they send ont the line OF argu-
ment they must pursue. Perhaps this
accounts for FoaAKER's failure to act the
hypocrite in New York.
Mr.. BLAINE, of course, bad sense
enough himself not to mount the Rosi-
mantle of sectionahsm in the presence Of
the men Of wide horizons whose votes
make New York city and Brooklyn
Democratic by major1tics of thousands
ana tens of thousands. He therefore
confined his remarks to the tariff or pro-
lection question.
Considering the speeches that CHAND-
LER and TELLER and other Republicans
madein the United States Senate last week
and shortly before, which we're intended to
stir up internecine strife and divide the
voters on a sectional line. the fact that
BLAINE and FORAKER made no attempt
to follow the bad example Of those sena-
tors is encouraging. 1t is evident that
"there is not "anothor President in
the bloody shirt that is. 50 far as the
liberal States we have mentioned are
concerned.
Bat wait till BLAINE gets into the
Northwest. Wait till he lands in MURAT
HALsrEAD's State. Wait till lie gets into
GmDNos's old district. Wait till he
opens his mouth to talk to the Michi-
ganders. Then You will probably he
able to understand that be played the
hypocrite in New York city. Her bust
ness-men know the southern people too
well to encourage an attack upon them.
Her business interests are too closely in
terwoven with their business interests
for her citizens to become a party to
unjust attacks upon this section.
