Christmas for the Poor Little Ones

Christmas for the Poor Little Ones
Some Ncw York people conceived the
idea OF feeding several thousand Of poor
children OH ginger bread and candies,
and giving them the castoT toys OF the
children OF the rich, on Christmas day,
in the great Madison Square Garden; all
this to be Il spectacle for the wcll-to-Lo
to gaze on.

foul OF the idea, hammered it in their
editorial columns, and devoted large
space to correspondents who do not
think this the best way to make the
children OF the poor happy OH Christ

might take a turn more to the liking OF

that some OF them would prefer the

Senator Plumb's Successor.

Senator Plumb is not cold before the
filling OF his seat is moro talked about
than his sudden death. This is the
way OF the world, and We must take the
world as VIC find it.
Mr., Ingalls, is spoken OF, and Of course
his brilliancy is mentioned. Mr.. ingalls,
desired to succeed himself and in his
effort to accomplish this result he dis
played versatility Of political prin-
cinle which Nstonshed the country but
did not draw to his support the ALI
ance, with which he was dallying.
To tho amazcmcnt Of everybody this
man Of strong convictions, who was
supposed to allow no consideration OF
mere expedicncy TO get between him
and his ideas OF right, made most dcs-
perate love to the political organization
which in Kansas stood more in the way
OF tho Republican party than the Dem
ocrutic party did or could.
For the time Mr.. ingalls, had no prin-
ciples that icttered him. lIo was not
only ready but eager to swallow the
whole Alliance bill OF fare il only it
might be possible to take in the senator
ship with the rest OF it. He trucklcd to
the Alliance to save his seat. Senator
Plumb raised the black flag against the
Alliance to save the Republican party
in Kansas. Ingalls, failed in his narrow
scheme. The broader plan OF campaign
OF Plumb Won splendid victory.
TO make ingalls, senator is to shoulder
his recent vagaries. There are plenty
OF able Republicans in Kansas, and the
choice need not be confined to one man.
