Bny no more than YOU can afford. !,

Shop no more than you have the

Entertain only within yonr means.
Keep your Christmas nerve and muscle
and heart and hope and cheer first for
your own home, your own tireside, your

then for the homeless, the lireless, the un-

true to the last Christmas card that goes to
your postoffice or the last merry Christ

We are generous people and happy

must keep our festival with sincerity,
honor, intelligence, and good sense, If we

When the lapdlord Of the Pavilion
Hotel ON StateD1sland secured the Duke
d'Auxy as D6artler last spring he was
filled witA-<prde. The Duke and his
family and fetinue gave the hotel an aris-
tocratic air which must have been worth
at least $50 per week as u mere advertise
mcnt But, alas! the losel churl OF Il land
lord is now suing the Duke before com
mon Staten Island justice of the peace for
the remnant of board bill. The Duke
was charged extra for meals served in the
seclusion of his apartments. He protested
and refused to pay. His trunks were
seized. He gave check for the disputed
amount secured his baggage and then
stopped the payment of the check Hence
the proceedings. Now, u landlord who
boards Dukes ought to know that genuine
aTistocrats cannot always be expected to
feed in public. II is not aristocratic to
dine at the table Fhotc.
When Il landlord receives noblemen un-

European rule is 10 make no extra charge
for meals served in rooms, When the

Cannot Have u New Postofiice.
Just before the Senate adjourned this
afternoon message was received from
the President This was veto of the bill
recently passed providing for postotfice
building at Bar Harbor. The President
gave as his reason for returning without
his approval the bill in question that the
ture of S75, 900 for such a purpose,
Bar Harbor is small place, having q
population of less than 1000, but Secretary
Blaine and Congressman Milliken can
never be convinced that Bar Harbor is
not entitled to public building.
The veto is generally regarded as slap
in the face for the premier.

INSTRUMENTATION To-Day.
SENATE.
Tn the Senate to-day Mr.. Edmunds
asked unanimous consent for the passage
Of Joint resolution extending until July
], 1891, the period during which the laws
of Nebraska shall be in force in the Terri
tory of Oklahoma.
Mr.. Edmunds explained that the act.
creating the Territory placed over it the
laws OF Nebraska until the close of th9
first session of the Territorial Legislature
II had been presumed that the Legislature
would enact code of laws, but 1t had
failed to do so and the term of the serv
ice would expire to-day. If Congress
failed to act now, the Territory would be
in o state of chaos.
Mr.. Morgan inquired the reason of the
chaotic condition of the Legislature. Mr..
Edmunds replied that there was no good
reason. He believed II to be due to the
fragrant negligence of duty of the persons
composing that body.
Mr.. Morgan said he understood the
whole trouble grew out of s1uabblc
about the seat of government II was q
following out of the policy under which
the Territorial government had been in
augurated. He objected to the consdcra-
tion of the resolution, and il was laid over
Mr.. Hale introduced q joint resolution
TO provide for the floating of American
flags on the east and west porticos of the
Capitol every day in the year.
He said that his attention was called this
morning to the fact that the Capitol alone
of all the public buildings was not deco
rated with an American flag except during
the session of Congress.
The resolution was laid over.
Mr.. Morgan called up his resolution pro-
viding for amendment Ito the Elections
bill.
Mr.. Sherman contended that it was not
now in order to call UP that resolution,
except upon formal motion.
Mr.. Morgan said that during his four
teen years service in the Senate the other
practice had been in vogue.
He likened the present condition OF the
Senate to the condition of sycophantic
Damoces with single hair holding the
sword suspended over his head. Tester-
day the little State of Rhode Island had
suspended the sword over the Senate
over the great States of Massachusetts,,
Ohio and New York. Rhode Island had
informed the Senate that at the Will and
pleasure-not of the proper committee,
but of q caucus committee, free speech
was to be prohibited. But these threats
were not addressed to sycophants or cow
ards but to men "who knew their rights
and knowing, dare maintain"
When Mr.. Morgan concluded his re-
marks Mr.. Mcpherson took the floor and
finished his speech on the Elections
bill.

sage was read and at 12:45 the Senate, OF
Mr. Hoar's motion, adjourned until moor
