All earth. with sweet foreboding, smiled
Because was born homeless child.
million spires point to the sky,
Where He, TRANSPORTED, took His fight,
Toward that great unsleeping eye
Watching DER death, and sin and night,
For eighteen hundred years has been
His triumph most devoutly sung
Der DEATH and sin, and suffering,
In every clime-in every tongue.
Yet while the organ grandly swells,
Within our great cathedral walls,
Chime answering chime OF silvery bells
Upon the air OF Christmas falls.
Fair women, decked in silk and lace,
Go warm and blest to softly pray,
And hasten to each sacred place.
That gladly welcomes Christmas day.
Oh Prince OF peaceI who lived and died.
Oh. why, upon this holy morn,
When sounds and scenes of reverence tell
This was the day that thou vert born,
AS from these temples OF our pride.
The happy worshipers have filed,
Why. cold and hungry. Just outside.
Do we still fad the homeless child?

French over the loss of Alsace-Lorraine.

not so near decay as people imagined.
Germany needs Austria for the same rea-
son that Russia needs France. War be-

greatest mistake, but was for many rea-

A Lengthy Debate Over the Tobacco Clause

of other Mckinley amendments regard
ing the tobacco and snuff tax, among
them one that internal taxes on
smoking and manufactured tobacco and
snuff be four cents pound, reducing the
bond Of the cigar manufacturers from
$500 to 800.
Henderson, OF Iowa, spoke in favor of
restoring the present internal tax on
tobacco and offered an amendment to
that effect. People believe, he said, that
this tax was the last which should bc
taken from their shoulders. They pre-
ferred that the tax should be taken from

the tax on these articles had been more

Oregon's Representatives Disagree ON the
silver Question.
WASHINGTON, May 19.-Hale, from the
committee on appropriations, reported
back the annual naval appropriation bill.
The silver bill was taken up, and Dolph
addressed the senate. He thought in ter
national bi-metalism was desirable. In
considering the various plans proposed,
he was satisfied the plan proposed by the
secretary of the treasury was open to less
and to fewer objections than any others,
IL the purpose was TO keep both gold and
silver coins i'm circulation. He argued
against the free coinage of silver as some
thing that would stop the coinage Of gold,
but remarked that what he said in regard
to free coinage did not, of course,
apply to free coinage under the interna-
tional agreement which established the
ratio between gold and silver. At the
close of Dolph's speech, Teller criticized
II and said that IL would not do for that
senator or any other senator to say with
JUNCTION that he was for q double standard
or for silver and then favor measures
which were absolutely destructive of sill
yer as money. He did not propose that
the country should be deceived into be-
lieving that the proposition which came
from the finance committee meant silver
at all. On the contrary, II meant single
gold standard.
Mitchell expressed dissent from the
views expressed by his colleague (Dolphl

that recently met in Oregon each resolved

equivocation, they were i'm favor of the

been trained by sullivan and Muldoon.

Smith recently knocked out Mike
Cleary in one round. Smith made de-

colored man. standing up 5 rounds with
out suffering n knock out. Smith ap-
pearcd timid i'm the first round and was
iloored three times, but i'm the succeeding
four rounds rallied, though at disad-
vantage from Jackson's long reach,

combat ended. Muldoon offered to back
