CHRISTMAS.

''This is the month. and this the happy morn,
Wherein the Son of Heavens eternal King,
OF welded maid and virgin mother horn,
Our great redemption from above did bring,
For so the holy sages once did sing,
That he our deadly forfeit should release,
And with his Father work us perpetual
peace"
There is a charm about the Christmas
period which is felt at no other time. 1t
asserts itself as the December days begin
to run and grows warmer and more intense
until dawn of the glad morn which marks
the anniversary Of Him who brought TO
earth a grander thought and nobler ambi-
ton than man had possessed. Just what
that charm is, language may not describe,
but we know that it spreads everywhere
that the name of CHRIST and his glorious
mission have been told; we also know that
it inspires to Joyous association, to good
humor, to friendliness, to love, and to the
recognition of the joys of others.
And this year more than others, and in
Utah more than elsewhere, does the Christ
mas charm fill the hearts of the people
For 1890 has been one of gladness, of pros
perity, Of present blessings, and future
promise 1t has been time of plenty, and
the poor and the lonely have been minis
tered to, if not by Him who dwelt among
them while He sojourned on earth, at least
with that generosity and thoughtfulness
which prove the spirit of the Savior is yet
with men.
Love seems to fill the air at this joyous
season, the harsh voice Of passion is dumb
for at least twenty-four hours, and strife
has been silenced. There are heard songs
of praise and thanksgiving mounting heav-
EDWARDS, and whatever may have been true
last month, to- day the conviction has come
home to many troubled and anxious heart
that, after all, happiness consists in what
the blessed JESUS taught-"Peace on earth
good will to men,
1t will be an ideal Christmas which vii
come to many home and many hearth o.
Utah: for it will find peace and plenty
families gatherd round the grooming board
parents happy in the love and respect o
dutiful offspring, and children merry witt
life, and in seeming thoughtlessness still
conslderate Of those proud fathers ant
mothers who have ever taught that of al
the anniversaries which the Christial
world observes, the sweetest, the mos
peace giving, the one which has sum
deepest into the heart of man and don
most for the race, the altogether best,
Christmas day, for it symbolizes ali that i
pure and noble and good in mortal, and a
well symbolizes the starting point on til
road to Immortality.
Then pealed the bells more deep and loud;
'God is not dead: nor doth He sleep.
The wrong shall fail,
The right prevail,
With peace on earth, good will TO men"

DUBOIS AND THE SENAToRSRIP.

And so some of the members Of the Idaho
legislature are trying to keep Mr.. FRED
DUBOIS out of the United States Senate.
They will undertake to do this by sending
forward a protest or remonstrance against
allowing him 10 take a seat in the chamber.
THE HERALD is in full sympathy with the
protestants. That is to say, we wish them
all success; but we may as well confess
right here and now that we do not enter
tain the slightest suggestion Of hope that
the anti-DUBoIs movement viii win; nor do
we believe that the gentleman named is in
the least degree apprehensive Or nervous.
Two grounds are set out as basis for the
protest. The first is that the legislature
had no right to choose third Senator IN til
the first two had been allotted their seats
and their terms been defined, when the law
makers could know for whose place to elect
a successor. There ought to be something
in this proposition, and under other circum-
stances the point might be expected to
stand. The Senate and not the legisla-
ture which elects, desgnates which of the
first two Senators sent up from new state
should have the long term, and which the
DAcA OAN' ~ A4e-y hoHPCA eh0O buC SuOIl
term will fall to the favorite, in which
event the legislature may desire to make
him succeed himself, and thus give him g
full term of six years. This cannot be
done If the plan pursued by the Idaho
solons shall prevail
Again, the Idaho scheme would seem tc
be irregular in that it permits the legisla-
ture to choose three Senators, whereas
the election of but two is contemplated II
it is legitimate for the legislature to select
three Senators, one of them to succeed
another whose term has not vet
been defined and who may never
be assigned seat, cannot the same
law makers choose fourth Senator to sue
coed the second of the original pair wher
his unknown and indefinite term shall ex
pire! A strict and reasonable construction
of the law would seem to forbid the cleo
ton Of more than two Senators until it wa,
known when the term of one of these would
terminate. 1t is possible that the term will
be extended to such a length that the mex
and not the present legislature will be tn,
proper one to choose the Senator to occur,
the seat which the original and interestin,
legislative body has set apart for Mr.
DUBOIS.
The other ground upon which the objec
ton to the validity Of Mr.. DUBOIS election
is based, namely that the election shoult
take place Oh the second Tuesday after tn
organization of the assembly, will no
stand. All the precedents are agains
it. The Senate does not inquir
fn<n la fir1Q M
long as the choice was made by the prone
legislature, it being held that the date cut
no figure in the matter.
While the strict letter of the law may b.

THE WARM welcome with which THE
CHRISTMAS HERALD has been received by
the public is most pleasing to the publish
ers. The endeavor has been to make the
annual worthy the city and we have re-
ceived many assurances that the effort has
been successful. THE CHRISTMAS HERALD
is looked forward to with certain degree
eagerness on..the part ofnthe public which
has learned to expect that each issue will
surpass its predecessor. The public has
never been disappointed in this expecta-
ton. Great as was the number for 1899,
SURPRISING in value, in interest and in
meritorius respects generally all those which
had gone before, we think the present
issue is ahead of it in many features, and is
really the best publication of the kind ever
issued in the territory. THE HERALD is
pleased with the work and is grateful fol-
the many evidences it is receiving of popu-
lar appreciation.

A CHRISTMAS GIFT

1t is nice Christmas gift which the
Liberal party presents to Salt Lake city
this morning. A year ago we were in the
heat Of one Of the most furious political
campaigns ever fought in this country of
furious campaigns. One party was strug-
Cling with all its might to save the city.
Salt Lake had reputation of which all its
people were proud. Its credit was of the
best. Its government was honest, upright,
prosperous and conservative and order
prevailed. Vice was kept at the minimum.
Crime dared not faunt itself. Economy
was the rule in every department of the
public service. If we were not advancing
as swiftly as some thought we should 60
if we were not spending money for i'm
provements as freely as some thought we
ought to, we were going ahead at safe gait,
and were spending quite as much
cash as those who had to pay the money
felt able to contribute. The struggle went
on, and the conservative element, those
who loved the city and who felt pride in its
splendid history and glorious reputation,
were crowded to the wall. They were de-
feated and trampled upon. Fraud, corrup-
ton and dishonesty triumphed. The city
fell into the handsome are asserting q
gang Of thieves, bat we will not go so far
of as reckless, irresponsible and incom-
petent crowd of men as ever gained con-
troll Of municipal corporation. The wise
and conservative methods which lad been
pursued so long and with such credit were
abandoned, and ignorance, incoElpetency
and extravaganza asserted themselves.
The first aim of the government seemed to
be to spend money, and the second to spend
1t unwisely. The old government had
left an enormous sum in the treasury, and
the new government at once devoted itself
energetically to getting rid of the fund in
the most expeditions manner possible and
in ways which would result in the least
peneht to the community, however much

The states which voted for HARRISON il
1883 will have electoral votes as follows:

These give total of IA electoral votes,
with 223 necessary to a choice. Ins1SSS Mr..
CLEVELAND received 16S electoral votes,
and Mr.. HARRISON 233. The states that
voted for CLEVELAND in 1888, therefore,
gain votes and those that voted for HARRI-
son 16. So if the Republicans could hold
the states that they carried two years ago
they would have a majority of the electoral
votes and 26 votes to spare, without taking
the new states into account. If we give
them all of these except Montana, they
would have 266 votes to rs for the Demo
Gratis, very comfortable majority.
But New York, Indiana and Massachu,

the cash might help the purses of individ
1t is unnecessary to remark that the efforts
of the authorities to squander the cash
were entirely successful.
Having set out on a course of extrava-
gance the new government, incompetent as
it was in other directions, was keen
enough to understand that it couldn't be
reckless in expenditures without cash,
hence, the fund which had come to it as a
legacy from wise and provident
administration being exhausted, ways
had to be devised for obtaining
ply the taxes by three hundred and fifty
and thus ''hold up' the helpless property
owners for three and-a-half times the
amounts they had contributed in the pre-
vious year for carrying on the municipal
government.
Even this extortion was not enough to
satisfy the greed of the gang or make it
possible to go on with the recklessness and
extravaganza which asserted themselves at
the very first meeting of the new council.

more money to be squandered in extrava-
CANT salaries for useless officials who have
been given places as rewards for
partisan political work. In a little
while more bonds will be offered
for sale, and more debts piled up to annoy
future councils and Cypress property
owners.
When one looks about him and sees how
little has been done during the past year,
and then takes into account the enormous
sum of money which that little has
cost, he will not be delighted with the
Christmas gift which the Liberal party
presents to Salt Lake this morning. Nor
will the delight be intensified when he re-
fleets that there must be another year OF
this awful extravaganza, this ruinous reck
lessness, this almost criminal incompetency,
this impudent and defiant squandering OF
the peoples money. The only consolation
is in the knowledge that the day of redemp
ton if not of reckoning is approaching
The end of this nightmare is coming, and
the taxpayers are rejoicing over the
thought that after few months they can ad
minister the rebuke, if not the punishment
that is deserved, and can return the nun
cipality to the honest and healthful ways
which it was pursuing before that evil day
in February when fraud and scoundrelisn
were able to turn this good city int
crooked paths.

THE EDUCATIONAL BOARD MEETS.

When the county board of education
adjourned last summer, after electing a
county supervisor, it was to meet at the
call of the chairman, Hon. VIM. S.
Wright of Watham. He accordingly
called meeting here on Friday last.
Supervisor Hasseltine and ID or l6 of the
members of the board attended. The
day was largely occupied with discussions
of textbooks, but nothing was accom-
plshed, except, possibly, the stirring up of
bad blood. This resolution was adopted
"That this board will not adopt any book
for use in our schools until written or
printed contract, signed by the publish
ing house, giving terms for their books
in accordance with the law is filed with
the president of this board"
