PEACE ON THEEARTH.

AS this number of the LIGHT enters
the homes of our citizens the sun will
be sinking in the West, day will be
declining, the day before Christmas,
and as the dusky wings of night are
drawn around the cradle of departing

ers, with their own ideas OF that scene
to which all Christendom so long has
turned with faith and hope, will as
sociate the season with the festivities
of the old Saxon and Celts and see in
it the apotheosis of song and good
cheer. No matter what particular
idea prevails, the sentiment surround
ing this evening preceding Christma
Is always kindly one These Christ
mas eve associations are all human
izing and softening. They bring earth |
into communion with itself and the |
ears of men are tuned as at no other |
time to hear the angels salutation of
''peace and good will"

AntMern,s Folly.

There would I've more surprise at the
news of the frightful and disastrous ex.
plosion Of dynamite at Antwerp if 1t
were not customary TO treat dangerous
stun almost as carelessly Ms though il
was sugar or coffee. Those persons
engaged in handling explosives get so
used to IL that they forget to reflect on
the disastrous consequences which may
result from their careless handling. Still,
allowing that there is more than ordi-
nary care practiced by these persons
who are daily laboriug over what may
be compared with the crater of a
volcano, there must have been some
Wrong doing In this case Of explosion or

munal council but the deputation per-
manente had allowed the work to con-

To permit such a quantity of dyna-
mite to sleep where in any moment 1t
may spread ruin and death to life aud
prosperity, Is without excuse. Enough
will now be said and written about hav-
Ing some place far enough away from the
habitation Of man, for the manufacture
and handling Of such deadly stuff, but
In Antwerp the deed has been done,
and the loss Of life and prosperity is ter
rible to contemplate. The lesson has
often been taught that such dangerous
manufactures should be removed TO To-
calities, where il may be expected that
In case of accident the least possible
damage will be done. That Il should

Tie worlds Fair Of 1899.

The four hundredth anniversary Of the
discovery of America by Columbus
seems 10 the cities of Washington, New
York, Chicago and st. Louis, to be the
time for the worlds exposition upon
their out-lots and no doubt such au
exposition will be held at one Of the
places, but ii can hardly he held at all.

tances and much elbow room, convent

With good railroad approaches. StLo,i'
Is too hot and the choice lies between
Chicago and New York, If the funds are
TO be raised by private subscription.
Either town will do and they can fight
1t out between them, the largest purse
getting the prize. New York is setting
TO work In earnest, as though she was
going to have an exposition anyway,
and probably will crowd young and
Baucy Chicago off the course. Yet New
York seems TO have trouble in finding
place for the show. Chicago has the
whole prairie around her New York
has only water and islands and patches
Of parks /; she will have trouble in find
ing vacant place of sufficient size and
Of easy access. The islands will be tco
hard to reach and, in fact, New York
itself IL not easy to reach from this side
the Hudson. 1t would be better to have
the show in Jersey. And upon this re-
Aection, 1t seems that Chicago could best
meet all the demands of the exposition,
and best accommodate the visitors TO IL.

AN OLD SNOWMAN GONE.
John O'BrIen, Once IA Famous Circus
Manager. Dies.

John O'Br1en, Once Famous Circus
Manager. Dies.
John V. O'Brien. tho well known show
man, died in his residence in Frankford,
Philadelphia, on Saturday morning.
He had been sufferer from asthma for
many years. He took cold about three
weeks ago when he was with his show at
Bethlehem, and was forced TO come home.
Since then he grew weaker and weaker
until he died.
He was born in Philadelphia and made
money in running stage lines. He
began the show business in 1862 with
Tom King the leaper. In 1876 he had the
greatest show ever seen in this OF any other
country up to that time. II was known as
the Brien show, he having dropped the first
letter from his name. Soon afterward Mr..
O'Brien sent a thunderclap into the tents Of
the other showmen by dropping the fixed
price OF admission, 80 cents, to 25 cents, es-
tablishing his fame rs "A cheap Snowman.
As a result of this carefully planned
action Mr.. O'Bricn made a great amount Of
money. At one time he had the right TO
use Barnum's name, but dropped 1t after a
successful season. In 1883 he established
the first ten cent show. Mr.. OBrien
amassed considerable property in Frank
ford and elsewhere, but his financial condi-
ton has been somewhat Strengthened for
the past two years. II j. thought, though,
that the property will clear "A snug sum.
O'Brien was known as " Pogy " in the pro-
fession aud he was considered rather
tricky.

Self.IDenllnciafjou.

1t will be remembered that one of the
things for which the administration of
President Cleveland was roundly abused
by the Republican orators and Journals,
IN the last campaign, was the deposit of
the government funds in the banks, u
course rendered necessary by the over
nowing treasury and the need of keeping
the money of the country from being
buried there and out Of the channels of
business. This was Mr. Blaine's favorite
subject for the denunciation of Cleve-
land and was accepted by Harrison and
his campaign managers at his instance.
Now, one would hardly think Harri-
sons administration would follow closely
In the footsteps of Cleveland's in its
disposition of the treasury surplus for
however accustomed we are TO see rost-
election practice non-eoncordant with
ante-election promise, we do not think
that VIC have ever before found party
approving in its triumph precisely that
which 1t denounced in Its opponent :,
and for doing which il even charged
that party's leaders with personal cor
ruption.
The indianapolis Sentinel, published
at President Harrisons home, graphic
ally presents to the public oontempla-
tion this abominable Republican dis
honesty by publishing an editorial ut
terance Of the indianapolis Journal
Harrisons home organ, made on the
morning of last of October that followed
the conference of Blaine with Harrison
and printed in pursuance of the under
standing then reached to assail the
Cleveland administration for the ma
tional bank deposits which was GER
tainly done by Harrisons home organ
with violence and virulence.
To make the editorial utterance tit the
present situation the indianapolis Dam
Ocr0t prints the Journals October dec
iaration, with the necessary changes t.
make it applyto the situation at this date
eleven months afterwards when Presi-
dent Harrison's administration is run
ming the country and is of course re-
sponsible for the deposits of the govern
ment money in the banks which are a
half million greater now than then.
Instead of "Grover Cleveland (which
the Journal printed in October, the Dcg,-
Ocrdt In September prints benjamin
Harrison" and for Democrats" prints
Republicans SO that il reads as fol-
lows aud makes fierce arraignment of
the Harrison administration out of its
own mouth.
Benjamin Harrison has shown him
1elf to be politically dishonest, untruth-
MI and corrupt. IL he personally
honest? :. We do not suppose the
PRESIDENT would profit directly or pecu-
nAariiy by corrupt transaction, but if
he permits others or his party 10 do so.
he u open 10 the charge of personal dis,
honesty. Either the president or his
party, or personal friends Of his, are
profiting very largely by the enormous
government deposits now and for sorae

Only a few days and the Sep

into oblivion. Already other
great interests are crowding it
hard. 1t is, however, accumu-
lating force, and there is a
stronger story to tell this morn
ing than that Of a week ago,
when the newspapers, our adj
vancing heralds, sounded the
opening blast that warned you
of approaching Bargains.
Hints of coming events are
all over the store, especially in
Dress Goods. OF all these

Below are details of Shoes,
Ribbons, Hair Brushes, Cloaks
and Wraps, and China Ware
that join the noble company of

the royal progress Of economy
from our store to your homes.
It is well that you should
know that the Lone Dolkar and
Honsekcebcrs' Choite Blankets
are still in stock Except the
S3.a5 size and quality, and al
though the prices, 81 and up
ward, are the lowest ever
quoted, there is nothing mean,
stingy or dirty about them, and
deceptive statements about size
are omitted.
If you have read our daily
talks during the past week you
know of our offerings. The
Linen Bargains are at the coun-
ters, 50 with Dress Goods,
Laces, Embroidcries, and the
whole Grand Army of econo-
mics are in proper places and
