Let Christmas Stand for Pleaure {
The comfortable wods of the bSmn-

are peculiarly appropriate for Christmas,
They express a truth which the happy
day emphasizes, audit is truth which

dwelt SO often and 81 long in the cata-
combs that when thy emerged, accus-
toned to associate life with the tomb,
they doubtless regarded the whole world
as a catacomb, Or American Puritan
ancestry and spiritual training left this
somber touch and tone upon the earliest
enduring work of our literature, and the
fresh and smiling nature OF the New
World was first depicted by our art as
tomb.
Rock-ribbed and ancient as the sun; tho

Stretching in pensive quietness between !;
The venerable woods; rivers that move
In majesty: aud the complaining brooks
That make the meadows green; and,

In Wall Street Today

NEW YORK. Nov. Just before the opening
of the stock market this morning the informa-
ton was circulated that the Banx of England
had at a special meeting of the governors ad-
vanced its rate OF discount from TO 6 per
cent. This was admirably calculated to de-
press prices in this market still further even
after the very material losses of the past few
days, and the effect was seen in the opening
prices, which were generally from a 10 81 per
cent lower than tue finals of last evening while
exceptional losses Of X in North American
and Atehison and per cent in Louisville land
! Nashville were scored. while Lake Shore and
Rock Island were conspicuous by advances Of

invited support. and there was good buyinR in
the early trading. and while the market was

The contest for the speakership of the next
House starts at once, and there are enough
candidates in the field to make it lively. There
Is no warrant for the statement that Mr.. Mills
OF Texasis not candidate He is q candidate
and his friends will work for him with great
confidence and enthusiasm. He will probably
have stronger support in the north and east
than casual observer would expect During
the past two campaigns he has been on the
stump north of the Mason and Dixon line
great deal, and he has thus become better
known there than heretofore. During the
campaign just closed some conspicuous demo-
cratic gains have been made in places where he
has been talking tariff, and this will be argued
In his favor. He is said to have made quite an
impression on the democrats of Massachusetts
STILL the reputation which has long been given
him OF being a "fire cater" is apt to do him
some harm in the contest justly or unjustly.
The declaration coming from Mr. Blount of
Georgia that he will be a candidate is a sur
prise, and not O very pleasant surprise tn
great body Of democrats. His candidacy is not
regarded as important except inasmuch as it
splits the Georgia delegation and complicates
field from that state He will probably not be
able to carry more than one of his own deIega-
ton with him. and certainly can have no
chance of election. but his candidacy shows his
olsposltlon TO hight Crisp, who IS ut this time
the most talked Of candidate, and who is
generally acknowledged to be the most avail
able and best equipped democrat for the place.
Bynum Of Indiana, Springer of Illinois.
Hatch OF Missouri, McMiiin OF Tennessee and
probably others are more or less in the fight,
and Wilson OF West Virginia, while he has not
declared himself q candidate, Is regarded as a

The tremendous majority, involving it does
the entrance OF 80 many men into Congress
who have not been there before and who are
not we'll enough acquainted with the men who
are candidates to select from them at once,
brings an element Of very great uncertainty
into the contest, and the time during which it
will be waged, between now and the meeting of
the Fifty-second Congress- will not be too long
for the candidates who want TO get their claims
well presented.
The House will have in it almost as many
northern democrats as it will southern, and
there is a sentiment in favor of a northern
Speaker If one pre-eminently qualified for the
place can be found. But from tine nature Of
things, their service being longer a rule and
their election generally under different cir
cumstances, the most of the very good speaker

Democratic Sweep.

What Senator Mcpherson Says Of the
Democrat. Sweep.
Senator McPher IN was in the city today and
talked at.soma length to a STAR reporter on
the subject Of the democratic victory. He said
that when the principles and traditions of the
country were trampled upon, when the wishes
OF the people were disregarded and extra
ordinary power put in the hands of one man,
when extravagant expenditures were resorted
to. extraordinary pension measures passed
(giving pensions to those who did not de-
serve them), when a heavy increase
OF taxation was imposed upon the
people, while they we're demanding a re-
duction, if anything; when all these things
had happened it was to be expected that the
people would rise up as body and rebuke the
party responsible for it. Speaking Of the presi-
Dental situation as affected by the result he
said: The field is broadened; all clouds of
doubt and anxiety are cleared away; the atmos-
phere il cleared. We have carried Michigan,
Wisconsin and illinois, We can 60 to the great
west for our candidate or We can go to Massa-
chusetts with great propriety. We can 20 any
where, almost in the country to get our candi-
date. The field is broadened. We are not
dependent upon New York and disturbed by
her local quarreis. II they will not settle their
differences we are not obliged to 60 to New
York tor our President"
