The Holiday Trade.

The people of this city and neigh
borhood during the holidays have
literally patronized the trade 1t
was mentioned in the TELEGRAPH
COURIER a short time ago that the
stores and dealers in holiday goods
in this city were unusually we'll sup
piled with articles designed for the
trade. 1t is understood that the
dealers in holiday articles have had
their expectations realized and are
we'll satisfied with their sales. Great
numbers of the young have been
made happy with pleasing and at
tractive gifts, many of which were
perhaps of no great money value, but
will be treasured in youthful remem-
brance for many days to come.
Those Of older years were the recip-
tents of tokens of kindness, which
brought to mind the intimate rela-
tons of other days. Nor were the
aged forgotten; they too were glad
dened with evidences Of friendship
revived Christmas rightly observed
is the most rational holiday of al
the year; the innocence of youth
the strength of manhood and the
feebleness of old age, all share the
good will that flows from Christmas
When commemorated, as was that
just past, it makes the world happier
and better. Unlike is the impress
sion it leaves behind it: one of those
noisy, festive public days, which oc-
cur at intervals during the year
The Christmas gifts the present sea
son show a marked improvement in
intellectual tastes, particularly in the
selection of books for presents tc
friends. The latest publications
from distinguished writer's, such as
have been favorably reviewed in the
public press, appear to have beer
sought for; this proves the spirit OF
inquiry is abroad among the people.

Washington Letter.

Speaker Reed has hal something
very much resembling the Irishman's
monkey and parrot time this week,
although one would naturally have
supposed that having worked SO Lard
to get the House committees an
nounced before the recess. he would
have been allowed to enjoy the quiet
so we'll earned for him. But it was
not so. He has been the most
sought for man in town. The cause
of all this unexpected trouble for
Mr.. Reed is a rumor that has been
generally accepted here as a fact, to
the effect that the Republican mem
bers of the House Committee on
Rules, of which the Speaker is
Chairman, had agreed to report to
the House early in January a rule
giving the Speaker authority to de-
clare a quorum of the House pres
ent whenever the requisite number
of members are in the chamber,
whether the members vote or not.
This is very important matter. and
everybody has been trying to find out
from Mr.. Reed whether the rumor
was based on truth, but so far no one
has succeeded, though Mr. Reed has
been very much worried and his Re-
publican colleagues on the commit
tee-Messrs. Mckinley and Cannon
have not escaped. All that Mr..
Reed would say on the subject was
that the committee has not discussed
it. That was of course known be-
fore, but he does not say that the Re-
publican members of the committee
have not discussed it. The proposed
change is approved by every Repub-
lican member that your correspond
ent has talked with, and they all ex-
pressed their readiness to vote for
such rule if given an opportunity.
On the other hand, the Democrats
are solidly opposed to it, because it
would take away their principal
weapon-the power to break a quo
rum of the House at pleasure.

Future National Political Issue

1t IS not difficult to forecast the
political issue in the next national
election: it has in fact already been
done. The main issue, as hereto
fore, will be the subject of national
finances, tariff and free trade, or
what is the precursor of free trade.
Tariff has been in national politics
three quarters of century, and is nc
nearer being out of politics than in
times long gone by, nor is there any
prospect of its being eliminated from
national issues in future years. 1t
is unlike most other controverted
questions that can be set at rest by
facts and figures. Official statistics.
which are regarded the best kind of
evidence in settling differences of
opinion in matters Of government
loss and gain, are deemed unsatisfac-
tory in tariff debates. AS has been
said, the issue of the next national
election has been indicated by Presi
dent Harrison in his message tc
Congress on the Republican side,
and by the Democratic caucus of the
National House of Representatives
at about the. same time of the deliv-
cry Of the message. The Democrat
ic House of Representatives endorse
the revenue policy as advocated by
the party in the last general election
that is, tariff primarily for revenue
and incidentally for protection. The
Republican policy is the opposite Of
this: it is tariff primarily for protec
ton and incidentally for revenue

Experience ia other states shows that
above estimates are too low and that the
total expense would probably be between
f85. 900 and $40 600.
Now as the Myers American Ballot
Machine system will likely also be con
sidered during the coming Legislative
session, the comparative cost of it may
be presented from safe estimates
At the exhibition room, No. East 4th
street, in this city, the citizens have
voted on the American Ballot Machine at
the rate Of $500 votes per ten hours,
showing that one third that number,
I 300, could be easily voted against all
contingencies Therefore based on the
total vote Of 1890, only thirty districts
are required But TO provide for future
growth OF population, say we increase
number OF districts over twenty FIVE per
cent from 80 TO 40, thus requiring 40
ballot machines to squip the entire State
