COMMERCIAL SUPREMACY.

The pOStmaster-general has announced
the accepted bids for carving the mails
on ocean routes under the act of March
), 1891. The carrying out of these con-
tracts, which OIL all but one route run for
ten years, will make an important addi.
ton to the ocean transportation facilities
Of the United States, though not so great
as had been hoped for. Only second and
third class vessels are contracted for, the
provisions Of the law not being deemed
sufficiently liberal to induce capital to in
vest in first class ships. However, a be-
ginning has been made in increasing our
ocean marine, and ii NAV be expected
that the benefits which will accrue to our
foreign commerce even from this limited
addition TO our transportation facilities
viii have the effect to reduce popular
objection to the policy of legitimate gov
eminent assistance in building a merchant
marine, and induce capital TO seek invest
ment in this department Of enterprise.
There undoubtedly has been q very
great change in public opinion within
the last W years regarding the necess
lily for the growth OF our foreign com
merce Of American steamship lines. and
also with regard to the question Of gov
eminent aid in encouraging the establish
ment o. such lines. This has been brought
about very largely by the ~conCeasus Of
opinion among the representative. Of
South American countries who visited
the United States two years ago, as we'll
as by the uniform expressions of South
American merchants that the measure of
success in our commercial relations with
the countries 10 the south of US would be
in a very great degree determined bv our
AGILITY 10 carry on the trade with them in
our own ships and under our W flag.
1t is conceded by all who have given in
telligent consideration to the subject. that

There is no use TO talk about Christ,

the facts.
When Judean shepherds over eigh
teen hundred years ago followed The
star which showed them the CHRIST who
redeemed the world they little thought
that what they were doing-well was SC
much.
Christmas is a day which is essentially
one which calls for some sentiment
but still let US have none Of it
The Old Man in his new southern
home cannot enter into sentiment-he
would rather on the contrary, enter into
something else.
His old mother is far away-away
thousands Of miles, and his old father is
there too, and he waits not tonight.
We write this Christmas evening and
we would rather laugh at the mOckery
of the world-of the things which come
of the destiny which shapes our ends
and at Time the sternest Of all Ic0no,
clasts.
The Old People

Something will jog along, and they

But, then what of it
This Old Man remembers when mother
and father played him their Santa Claus
he knows when all his toys came and
he knows how pleased they were.
Long have been the years-crael and
happy have they been.
And tonight we write and tell other
people somethings-and yct-waiting.

a STost Interesting Find.

According TO the Washington Star
the Smithsonian Institution has re-.
ceived Information Of the recent dis
coyery at Tel'el.Amaria. in Upper
Egypt, Of a number Of tablets relating
10 the history Of Jerusalem and dat.
ing back 900 years earlier than any
records hitherto known. When II il
understood that these talilai. .-ss-sSSaa {,
are letters passed between the King
Of Jerusalem and the Pharaoh Of
Egypt 400 years before the birth OF
David, who was the father Of Solo
mon, some notion will be formed OF
their extreme interest. Several OF
the letters were addressed to the ruler
of Egypt by the King Of Jerusalem.

were at that time tributary to Egypt,

says; The Hablrl people are con-
quering the cities Of the King. g.,

find" at Tel-el-Amaria includes two
hundred tablets, largely Of Babylon
ian cunclform script, which is thus
discovered for the first time TO have
been In use at 50 early a period in
Egypt and Palestine. Many Of the
other tablets are dispatches of about
the same date from projects of other
cities Of Palestine to the Pharaoh.
Some Of the inscriptions are III ah UNI

has been able to translate. Solomon
