CHRISTMAS.

Yesterday was celebrated not be-
cause of the legend of a Santa
Claus who with team of reindeer and
sledge visits all good children, leav-
ing pretty gifts, and passing by all
the naughty ones, but because that
more than eighteen centuries ago the
Christ-child came into this world
with the message of Peace on earth,
good will to men" The significance
of this anniversary will be largely
lost sight of if the great fact is for
gotten that the ''Dayspring from
on high hath visited us, and that by
reason of this all family ties and
social bonds are closer knit; age
warns to childhood and children
cheer the heart of age May this
anniversary which comes freighted
with so many sacred recollections
and happy memories find the readers
of the Caledonian in accord with
that love which brought Christ the
lowly into this world

MONEY-BAGS IN THE SENATE.

Thoughtful men view with alarm
a United States Senate filled with
n1illionaires 1t has come to be ac-
cepted as fact that any man who
is rich enough can buy seat in the
upper house of Congress. A few
years ago Nevada and California
had this unenviable distinction, but
latterly this contagion, like the
Louisiana lottery, has spread East
The latest example is that prince of
political spectators, Calvin S. Brice,
who is announced as a democratic
candidate for the u. S. Senate from
the state of Ohio, although his home
is in New York and he has not voted
in Ohio for the past seven years. 1t
is such examples of success as Brice
that do more to blunt the moral SEN
sibilities of the American people than
all the preachers, lecturers and news
papers can counterfeit. An honest
man has bluntly but forcibly said
that the democrats of Ohio might as
well elect Dom Pedro to the Senate
as Calvin S. Brice

The jury in the Bent and Roberts
murder case tried at Bennington, re-
turned a verdict of acquittal as to
respondent Henry Bent, and guilty
of manslaughter as to respondent
Byron N. Roberts, at s O'Clock last
Wednesday night. The defendants
were charged with killing Louis
Wilder at Woodford in December,
1883, during a dispute over payment
for work that Wilder had done for
Bent. A previous trial resulted in
disagreement. 1t was claimed that
Roberts alone struck Wilder and that
his blows were struck in self defense.
A special meeting of the board of
trustees of the Soldiers Home was
held in Burlington last week for the
purpose of considering some minor

in the Home and the institution is
making most satisfactory showing.

cradle time to its management and
are making it as creditable to the

WEST CONCORD.

Further particulars concerning Col,
John Gilman Darling who died in
Boston Dec. 16 will be of interest
His remains were brought to Con-
cord which was his native town, for
interment, where his funeral was
held on the 9th, being numerously at
tended by the older people who were
attached to him years ago while he
lived among them He was q son of
Capt. John M. Darling, born Jan. 4,
1909; married Lovisa r. Plumley
March 6, 1885. His wife and two
daughters survive him. He was for
over 80 years successful merchant

mercantile copartnership with his
brother, Kinds R., at Guildhall where
he carried on successful business for
some years. In 1854, in company
with DR.. H. A. Cutting, he opened
general store at Lunenburg, which
copartnership was carried on for IS
years. The Colonel removed to Bos-
ton in 1860 where he was engaged
in mercantile pursuits. He was a
man of keen intellect and great bust
ness capacity which he retained with
good health until past his SOth birth
day when his health declined steadily
until his death Col. Darling was a
member of the Episcopal church of
Chelsea, Mass, and his integrity
and honesty in all his transactions
through a business life of over 60
years is seldom equaled and never
S1rDaSSed

The influenza has spread all over

Juror Culver, the man who held
out against capital punishment in the
Cronin trial, has sued Chicago

DEATH OF EDITOR GRADY.

Henry W. Grady, editor of the At
lanta Constitution, author and ora
tor, died at his home Monday of
pneumonia. The suddenness of the
event shocks a wide circle, as only a
few days before his death he was
guest of the Merchants association
OF Boston and shared the honors of
the occasion with Ex-President
Cleveland. He was taken Ill while
there and hurried to Atlanta in a
special car, and the seriousness of
the case was hardly comprehended
until after he reached home.
Mr.. Grady was only SO years old,
but was one of the best known as he
was one of the most brilliant men of
the South. He insisted that the
white race must always dominate
the black, but he was fair and out
spoken antagonist and his love for
and faith in the magnificent indus
trial future of the South was I'M
bounded. His death is great loss
to the progressive clement in the
South.

reward. The Landmark emphati-
cally remarks:
ct seems slow work to get peoples
eyes open to the fact that a news
paper is not published simply to ac-
commodate the public. 1t is a bust
ness venture. No right exists that
we know of whereby the state or any
individual has any more claims upon
a publishers time and services than
upon any other craftsman's labor, or
merchant s stock ofgoods. We don't
expect to get groceries, clothing and
house rent free, and are not pub
fishing the Landmark for fun"

LOCAL NOTICES.

We spend one-sixth of our con-
scious existence in one chair. 1t is
the chair on which we sit at table,
and of all others it ought to be the
most comfortable. Americans pay
little regard to comfort in dining
room furniture, and we are glad to
note that one house has given the
subject special attention. Purchas-
ers of dining-room chairs orfurniture
should visit Paine's Furniture Ware
rooms, 4S Canal street, Boston, be-
fore deciding on any purchases.
The factory of the Wales Goodyear
Co. has not, until this year, been
large enough to supply New England
trade in addition to the west. An

Edward Bellamy's address, printed
elsewhere, on the principles of the
nationalists will beread with interest
even if one does not believe in the
movement he has inaugurated
Looking Backward" has reached
$40, 900 copies, the Nationalist mag
azine has $4,000 readers and there
are now 80 nationalist clubs with
5000 members. These figures indi-
cate that the movement has come to
stay and that there are some cardinal
principles of living behind it. The
government can certainly run the
railroads, telephones, telegraph and
express companies, and cities can
take care of their own street car,
gas and electric companies, but we
fear that we shall not live to see all
this accomplished.

When Lucius Bigelow lived III Yer
mont he had the reputa ton of being
bright newspaper man and forci-
BILE writer. 1t would seem that he
has lost none of his force as a writer
since he became editor of the Port
land Oregonian. Mr.. Bigelow was
also a Union soldier and like many
other good soldiers he cannot endorse
the raid on the u s. treasury in the
name of pensions. In his remarks on
the Mitchell pension bills, which if
passed would run the pension appro-
priations for 1892 to the enormous
sum of $175, 100000, he says with
much truth and no little force
The people are just; they are ready
to say with Secretary Noble that the
government should see to it no de-
pendent veteran suffers want or is
obliged to stink to the almshouse or

SENATOR OUAYAS BOSS.

The post offices are no end of con-
tention and trouble Senator Quay
and Congressman Dalzell of Pennsvl-
vania each had a favorite for the
Pittsburg post office. The senator
got in his man and Dalzell is offend
ed because, as he says, it was a viola
ton of a republican party precedent,
in that the local congressman wish
es were disregarded, and, secondly,
because it was "a wrong done at the
dictation of a selfish, grinding bos-
sism." This plain language brought
out a response from Quay in the
shape of an interview, and if he is
correctly quoted he establishes pretty
clearly what Dalzell said of him.
This is the way in which Senator
Quay drags President Harrison into
the controversy:
The fact is that the city organiza-
ton of Pittsburg has until very re-
Gently been exceedingly hostile to me,
ana the P1ttSDurS post Office EN-
braces about 800 appointments,
which, to put it mildly, declined to
have placed in the hands of my adj
versaries if l can prevent such a re-
suit. Therefore, l adhered very per-
sistently to my original agreement
to sustain Mr. Mexican, and the
President, though very anxious to
CRAFTY Mr. Dalzell, for whom he has
high esteem, could not, under all
the circumstances, well avoid COM
plying with my wishes.
