70 what II calls the Rsgi.iEi glluSh"
about party discipline and says It is
enough to make every true Democrat
vOmit, The Democratic party in West
Virginia, 1t very properly says, does not
need discipline, 1t needs principle; men
Of conviction who are truthful and com.
mand public confidence, The Democrat
continues;
The Knights OF Labor passed q resolu-
ton against caucus. Shall we tell this
important vote, which Is Democratic In
all Its instincts, that we propose to do ex-
actly what they ask us not 10 dop Isthe
RegiStT such a fool as 10 suppose that we
can win without the labor vote?
Those Directing 70 caucus are not rep
resenting any particular candidate; they
are representing the party rs against in
dividuals who would sacrifice itior theil
own personal advancement.
The phrase, preserve discipline on
the vital issues" 10 mere slush, We
must preserve theprinciples OF the party
We can preserve these principles Iby

whose past actions stand sponsor for hil
future conduct, The mere politician
whose aim is nothing except TO maintain
himself in office, does our party infinite
ly more harm than all Of the Republi

Our adyices from Charleston indicate
that fortunately for the people OF THU
State certain Democrats In the Legisla
ture have developed sufficient man
hood to resist bossism, and are resolved
not TO go into caucus whose action hal
been preordained,
All this is very entertaining reading
and exhibits the internal state Of TIT
Democratic party, The Democrat has
way OF discussing frankly the short

The claim OF Senator Kenna's friends
that three Democratic members have
been approached with offers Of Doodle is
probably a part OF Mr.. Kenna's plan Of
campaign. An attempt to drive the
anti.Kenna men into caucus by spring
ing upon them q sensation Of this nature
is the poorest kind OF politics, The
men who have taken a stand against the
Kanawha statesman are not to be fooled
into a thing they are conscientiously
opposed to doing, and they only laugh
ut the transparent scheme to catch
them. This unfounded bribery charge
Is an acknowledgement that Mr.. Kenna
fears the result, and is forced to adopt
desperate tactics to bring into caucus
tho Democrats who have up to this
tune held alooi. They know there Is
nothing in the charge, and tl1cyare mis-
taken II they think the public can DO
deceived.
The object OF the whole story 10 TWO
fold. Fint, IL Is intended to prejudice
the Republican cause in tho public
mind. Second, 1t is to Brighten anti.
Konnn men into caucus, Both objects
will fail. The public is not as credulouS
as Mr.. Kcnna seems to think, and those
members OF the Legislature who arc op.
posed to his reelection arc not tho sort
Of men to be driven into caucus by
fears that iithey remain out they will
DO subject TO tho suspicion that they
have acceptedbribes.
Tho desperate Democratic managers
should conanc themselves to a square,
open fight The people arc growing
heartily tired Of their hypOCritlcal and
absurd cries Of fraud and corruption
against the Republicans, whohave fought
and arc fighting their battles upon
straight lines.

because a man displays no jewelry
upon his person it does not signify that
he doesn't care for such things"
There are plenty Of men who are as
passionately fond Of Jewels as any
woman who ever lived, but they seem
to regard the feeling as q weakness
which they are half ashamed OF. Some
men will own right up, but they don't
like to display their treasures because 1t
is not considered good taste to wear
much iswelry.
~ know Of half a dozen business
men and professional men who do not
wear so much as a watch and chain
yet they carry about In their trousers
pockets Thousands OF dollars worth OF
unset Jewels. This is a little out Of the
ordinary, but 1t Is a fact nevertheless.
"The late Henry Ward Beecher used
TO carry in his pockets 0 number Of
beautiful diamonds, pearls and other
precious stones, which he would some-
times take out In his hand and gaze at
in admiration for several minutes at a
time. He explained this habit by say:
ing there was something so pure and
beautiful about the gems that they de.
lighted and fascinated him. He used To
say that 1t was one Of the traces OF our
iaf.back barbarian origln-the inmate
fondness for bright gems.
II know Of a physician up town who,
while riding about in his carriage on
sick calls, entertains himself by jingling
a lot OF unset diamonds, rubies and en-
eralds in his hands. He sometimes
groups them on the seat opposite and
looks at them, while his face Is Lit up
with admiration and pleasure.
"Do ladies' have this habit2 Well, l
think not. never met woman who
cared to hide her jewels in her pockets.
On the contrary, they always like 10
have them set aud displayed as Conspic-
ulously as possible. They don't believe

THE consumption OF city gas decreased
in 1888 from that OF 1887 the startling
amount Of 100000 cubic feet. at
ninety cents a thousand feet, this repre-
sents loss Of income to the city Of
nearly $1,000. The inroads made by the
electric light caused the falling of. The
situation daily grows more serious, and
the gas works will in time become a bur-
den on the taxpayers instead OF the
cource of profit It once was, 1t would
be the part Of wisdom for Council to
move promptly in this matter.

''Soakey hain't got boy just now, an
he's sure to have lots of parcels 20 deliver
on Christmas Eve" And he walked
slowly but determinedly toward the door.
Just then the latter opened, and a
young, rosy-faced man stepped out to
the road to quiet pair of fretful spirited
horses that stood by harDessed to light
cutter 1t was young Robins, the son of
the richest man in the township
Robins caught sight of Tommy.
''Hello, kid &c said merrily, what
are YOU standing out here for? Come in
side and get warm and set 'em up"
* Set 'em up, ;" echoed Tommy mentally,
as he followed young Robins up to the
bar. THAT means stand treat
Hes young man with his pocket full
of money, who wants ID treat the crowd,
said Robins, and the crowd all laughed
and cheered Justify.
Selfshncss was "a thing not to kin to
Tommy's nature, but he turned trife
pale. Surely they wouldn't make him
spend his money!
s!Come on. fork out, Thomas, cried
Robins. Glow much have you got?
Half dollar, eh2' as the big coin was
solemnIy laid upon the counter with
Tommy's small hand still upon it; while
its owners face was turned appealingly
to the crowd of rough, grinning men,
who seemed to enjoy the scene i'm
mensely.
''Just huff, Tom" said Bob Brass, the
crocer's boy. ''There's ten Of us. Set
'em up, Soakey, an give the kid a hot
lemingnade."
The 'Ilid" let the steaming Fleming
made" stand before him, and as all the
men raised their glasses to their lips and
exclaimed with laugh, "Here,s to yer,
Tommy" he said quietly:
''No, not to me. To little Laura"
The men set down their glasses.
''To-to who?" demanded Mr.. Soakey,
with a knowing wink at the crowd.
''To little Laura" said little Tommy,
looking solemnly at the bartender.
''She's my sister, y'know. She thinks
Santa Claus is comm to our place sure,
tonight, with big sled down there in
Sharpe's door, that's a doller'n a half.
That money was to help buy it; cos, you
see, told Laura she'd be cert'n to get
it. But" continued Tommy, slowly
and thereon would have been perfectly
silent but for his voice, for all the men
were intensely interested, "I-dOn't-
ee-how-I'm to-get i, unless-un-
less you can give me a job, Mr.. Soakey.
That's what I came in here fer; not to
drink"
Fisherman & farmer. [volume] (Edenton, N.C.) 1887-19??, 1889-12-20

There were ten seconds of continued
silence on the part Of the crowd, and
then came cheer that echoed clear
across the street. When it had subsidized
young Robins said:
"Well, done, kid You didn't think
we meant to take your money, though,
did you? Let's have a glass, Soakey, and
put something in it to start the coIlec-
ton
The schooner went round, and when
it was handed to Tommy it was freighted
with over 81 in shining quarters and
halves that jingled merrily against the
glass. Tommy emptied the money out
upon the counter.
''It-ain -all-for me, is it," he
gaspcd.
"Of course it is, ;, said Robbins. 'And
give the boy another hot lemonade,
Soakey, and let him 60"
Tommy tried to thank his benefactor,
but his voice failed, and his eyes were
filled with happy tears. So he made the
best Of his way to the street.
Half an hour later he was outside the
town, with a big parcel under his arm,
and pulling the long, handsome sled be-
hind him.
It was showing heavily, and the night
was pitch dark. Every little while he
slid OFT into the ditch, but his happy,
Ouoyant spirits brought him quickly to
the road again.
The snow was a foot deep now, and
the sled pulled heavily through it,
Suddenly there was rush aud con-
fused roar behind him, mingled with the
loud jingling of sleight bells. Tommy
partly tumbled to one side, and not a
moment too soon. A pair of runaway
horses dashed by him, the driver giving
d feeble yell as he sped by In another
moment horses and driver had van
ished in the blackness.
''That's Robins said Tommy with a
nervous shiver as he drew his breath and
started after the runaway He didn't
walk now, but found himself trotting as
well as he could through the heavy snow
and finally he broke into wild, blowing
run.
Suddenly he stumbled against some
thing that lay on the edge of the road.
just at a point where the bush ended
and where the fierce northwest wind had
swept the circling snow into a drift three
feet high. The cutter had tilted and
spilled its driver here. But cutter and
horses had vanished.
Tommy knelt down and shook the mo-
tionless form; but he got only an inartic-
ulate grunt in reply.
Drunk" said Tommy. Then he
stood up and listened attentively, hoping
TO hear the sleigh-bells Of some home re-
turning reveler. Bat only the ''swish'

Hark-hear the bells,

Hark-hear the bells,
Whose music tells
Of Christmas joy, az sinks and swells
Each sound that sings
OF happy things,
This birthday of the King of Kings.
Lo, on this day,
The glad bells say,
In Bethlehem, far, far away,
And long ago,
In manager low,
Was born the Christ Who loved thee so.
A radiant star
Shone bright and far
Above the plains where shepherds were,
And led the way,
That Christmas Day,
To where the young Jesus lay.
o glorious morn
When Christ was born
Among the garnered wheat and corn;
o happy place
Where His dear face
First shed the sunshine of its grace.
Above the pam
A heavenly strain
OF music rang; and its refrain :
Is ringing still
Ger height and hill
'Be Peace on Earth, to Men Goodwill"
Rejoice to-day,
The glad bells say;
Pit all the cares that vex away:
Let Christmas cheer
Find welcome here,
And bless this best day OF the year.
To Christ, thy King,
AS tribute bring 49,
Thy heart. and let the offspring
With love be sweet
As at His feet
Thy lips it's grateful VOWS repeat.
Rejoice and sing,
The glad bells ring,
In honor of the worlds dear King;
Let love increase;
May discOrd cease.
All hail, all hail, thou Prince Of Peace!
