Hdrper's Bdzar: A world without
Christmas! Who of US can imagine it. or
in imagining can fail to realize what Christ
mas has done for the World! The exigen-
cies of our modern life have robbed US of
the full meaning of Sunday; one mans
rest in it ispurchased at the cost of another
mans labor, and no universal peace pre-
walls. Our time Of Thanksgiving is time
of merrymaking, each family choosing its
own way. 1t is national, not universal
jubilee; held closer to the hearts of certain
sections than to nthers. And so with high
days and holidays the world over; with all
feasts and festivals. They belong to creeds
or governments; to superstitions of the
soil or traditions OF tribe. But Christ
mas-Chrisfmas belongs to no one nation
alone, nor to no one tongue, nor to one lati-
tude or longitude, nor to one color or creed;

In other words, almost as many men
having gone to the polls in 1890 as in 1883,
the Democrats poll above 10000 votes more
low than then. Still further, there were
6wo districts in which the vote for Con-
gressmen this year was actually larger
than two years ago, and two others in
which it was but a trifle short, and in these
districts the Republican loss was most pro
nounced, as the following figures show:

NO APATHY.

The New York Post in speaking of the
recent election returns and the claims of
certain politicians that apathy was the
cause of the Republican defeat, prints the
official figures Of the vote of Iowa, state
hitherto regarded as a stronghold of the
Republican party.
If apathy were the cause, what then and
why were the Democrats not affected in
the same way? In short, what can rouse
these apathetic Republicans if more ''pro-
lection" as beautifully embodied in the
MCKINLEY bill, does not! What can
awaken the party of Capitalization il the
prospect of the passage of the most cen
trailing measure proposed in recent times
cannot! Never before were the respec-
tive historic issues of the two parties pre-
scented more clearly in direct contrast than
before the last election. To say that Re
publicans were apathetic and Democrats
enthusiastic is mere confession OF weak
ness; but the fact is that many Republicans
went over to the Democratic ranks.
The official canvass of the Iowa vote.
which has just been completed, brings out
very clearly what is really the most striking
feature of all the recent elections This is
the fact that the political revolution, which
gave the Democrats six, instead of one, of
the eleven Congressman, was the result of
a remarkably fall vote. Ordinarily. the
election for Congressman two years after
President was chosen shows heavy fall
ing off in the poll. but this year the total
vote for Congressman, $50, l67, fell only
about 1900 short of the unprecedented
total of 402, 526 and ISSS. There was only
one district, the Eleventh, in which the
Farmers Alliance ran candidate. and the
4,65S votes which he received were obvi-
Slsly drawn chiefly from the Republican
side. Excluding these from consideration,
the totals of the two parties IN 1855 and
1890 stand:
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1890-12-18

Republican editors who have been claim
ing that their party's defeat was due TO a
light vote, and that Mckinleyism would
have won if people had gone to the polls as
in Presidential year, will find food for re-
Election in these Iowa figures.

Henry Burgan is in charge OF the
work there. An extensive leak above
Williamsport is also being repaired.
II is stated that the orders are to
actively push the repairing of the

Mr.. John w. Hollida has been

Mr.. Fred Mertens estimates that
there are $50 available boats now
along the canal, and he is ready to

The Baltimore Sun.

The most widely read daily news
paper, and that which is considered
the most reliable in all its features,
throughout thi. section is the Balti-
more Sun. Its popularity is deserved,
for it gives all the news, local and
general. On national matters its
opinions are sound and always log
ical and timely, while its news Of the
old world and Of America presents in
a nutshell the chief events OF the day.
Locally it has always been a favorite
giving all the interesting occur
rences Of Baltimore City, OF Maryland,
Virginia and West Virginia, always
coming just as near the truth as it is
possible to come. 1t never sensation
allies, but presents the facts in an III
teresting way without the gaudiness
so common to many newspapers. In
Shepherdstown there are more cop
les of the Sun read than Of all the
other dailies put together. The peo-
pie like it.
