The Moon In Darkness.

September's moon was the har-
vest moon and October's was the
hunters moon and each was inter
esting in its way, but Nomember's
moon beat both in point of curious
phenomena. ---, in No
vember moon came in promptly
with the first day of the month.
and this early appearance admits of
another new moon on the last day
of the month, thus giving us the
somewhat unusual number of five
phases for the calendar month. But
more important still, the moon was
totally eclipsed on the 18th of the
month. The eclipse was visible
here and also in Europe. The moon
remained in the shadow from about
$50 until nearly Q o'clock.

A Word to Our New Commissioners

A Word to Our New Commissioners.
No man or body of men just
elected have assumed the same del
icate responsibilities as our coming
Board of County Commissioners.
Aside from the important duty of
looking faithfully after the finan-
cial and public interests of the
county so far as committed to them,
they must understand that upon
their judicious and conscientious
conduct will depend not only their
own reputation as men of good bus
mess qualifications, but the future
success Of the party which elected
them to their responsible Office.
They can wreck, rs they can pre-
serve, the fortunes of their party in
this county. By reasonable intelli-
gence and dilligent attention, they
can do much good for the people of
Garrett county.

New York will be the great bat
tie ground in the national contest
of 1892, because it is indispensable
to the Democrats. The figures re-
lating to the electoral college next
year show this situation clearly.
Under the new apportionment law
passed by congress, the states which
voted in the last election if they
vote next year for the same party,
will cast their electoral vote as fol-
lows:

TIE point has been raised that
the constitutional amendment en-
towering the legislature to change
The term Of county commissioners
can not apply to those just elected.
This is a mistake. All the officers
Of the State were elected at the
same time the constitution of 1867
was adopted, and served under the
provisions Of that constitution. The
new amendment repeats the section
Of the constitution which fixes the
term Of office for county commits
sioncrs, and there is now no def
mite term of Office for them until
the Legislature fixes one under the
authority of the amendment.

With this showing the basis of
calculations for next year is 300 Re-
publican electoral votes against 175
Democratic votes. On the strength
of pulling Russell through by
scratch in Massachusetts; of chang
ing the method of election from the
State at large to the congressional
district plan in Michigan, and OF
local elections IN Indiana going
Democratic, the Democratic leaders
IN national politics are already
claiming all those States, together
with Iowa and New York, where
Democratic governors have ust
been elected. This result would
take % votes from the Republican
column of 2G9, leaving 17G, and
add % votes to the Democratic col
umn, making 268.
1t is an easy calculation, but
there are many obstacles IN the way
of its accomplishment.
In the first place. Michlgan's
electors will not vote as a unit.
The Republicans will surely carry
the electors at large. The three
congressional districts they carried
last fall, and the one they have
just carried at a special election to
fill vacancy caused by the death
Of Democratic congressman. In
the Fifty-frst Congress there were
only two Michigan districts repre-
scented by Democrats. Or the
most liberal estimate eight cleo
toral votes out of fourteen is all
the Democrats can expect to OBJ
tain IN Michigan by their return to
the ancient and obsolete custom of
selecting electors by districts.
In the secod place Massachusetts
demonstrated on Tuesday, by
electlng the entire Republican tick
ct, except governor, seven Repub-
licans out of eight governors coun-
cilors and Republicans to the num-
Der of two-thirds of the Legislature,
that it is out of the question to
think of any Democrat carrying
the old Bay State for President.
Giving the Democrats eight
votes in Michigan and all in Iowa
and Indiana this result may posi-
Div be realized:
Indiana electoral Ii
Iowa, electoral votes Is
Michigan, electoral votes... ....................
Total. %
The result of the transfer of these
votes. emitting New York from the
calculation. would be: Republi-
can, 1877; Democratic, 2l1; neces-
sary to choice, 1913.
The thirty-six electoral votes of
New York added to the Democratic
column would then elect a Demo
cratic President, with "A votes to
spare. Held IN the Republican
column they insure Republican
success with 10 to spare, even if
Iowa, Indiana, Michigan, New
Jersey and Connecticut all choose
Democratic electors. If Indiana
and Iowa are Republican the Dem
ocrats may carry New York, New
Jersey, Connecticut. Michigan Is
votes) and all the sure Democratic
states and still lose.
In other words, New York will
be the pivotal Democratic state,
without which a Democratic Presi-
dent cannot be elected. The great
battle Of 1892 is likely to be won
within ten miles of the Press office.
And what Republicans should
set about doing at once is to find
the man who as Presidential can
didate, can most certainly carry
the Empire state.--New York
Press.

Worked Him.

Say, boss, give me few pennies to buy something to eat, will youT said a ragged urchin s man hurrying through Mail street at o'clock Christ. mas eve.
 Now the one appealed to had just been buying Christmas presents for a score of sisters, cousins and aunts, to say nothing about the numerous rattles. dolls, etc., which he had bought for the members of his own immediate family, and consequently he was feeling rather poor.
 Cant do it, sonny" he said rather grutily, as he hurried on.
 The boy assumed tone half sorrow ful, with a touch of independence ill it, and said to the retreating figure:
 Boss, l hope you will have Merry Christmas"
 The man stopped, turned around, dug his hand into his pocket and handed the urchin quarter. Then he hurried on again.
 Ten minutes later the same urchin en- tered a hallway where half dozen street arabs were assembled.
 Hi, Jimmy" he yelled as he entered, ''see what de bloke give me Showing the uuarterl. Let's play 'craps."

threw himself into the big chair before the fire and sat contentedly puffing the fragrant smoke and watching it curl up- ward toward the ceiling, and he laughed when from the closet he heard the old boots dancing again.
 Rattle-te, rattle-te, rattle -te-tat, rat tat-tat-tat-tat-tattat-tat----
 "They must be tired" thought the lawyer, as the lively rattle dwindled into regular monotonous tapping.
 Then he started, sat up straight and opened his eyes. The tapping did not come from the closet, but from the hall door, It was Joe, come to replenish the fire.
 Eve been dreaming" said Lawyer Flint to himself. He turned his back to the fire, looked over toward the closet and smiled. Then he walked to the window and looked out into the street. He took out his watch and looked at it, while light shone in his eyes and his mouth worked curiously.
 "There's time enough yet" he said, and Joe was surprised to see him hurry on his coat and hat; but not half so sur prised as he was when he stood alone in the room moment later with big sil- yer dollar in his hand.-Morris Waite in Detroit Free Press.

1 blem of love and beleved that It typi- fled the benefcent feelings of their gods toward mankind. It is doubtless to this old Druidical association of the mistle- toe with love that the English custom, which still obtains, of enforcing the for felt of a kiss from any female who is caught under branch of it at Christmas time is traceablc.
 By the celebration of Christmas, with it's grand liturgy, it's magnificent music and its pictorial and dramatic repre- sentations of the principal events in the life of him whose birth it commem- orated, the church sought to replace these heather festivities and to lift up the minds of the people to something higher and holier, though from the first the day was regarded both as Q holy commemoration of a most sacred event and as a mirthful, joyous festival. In the Middle Ages the festive observances of the day often so far overtopped its more sacred features that the clergy were frequently compelled to check the unseemly merriment of their focks.
 The name of Christmas assigned to the festival was derived from Christ and the Saxon maesse or mass, and the two words were combined to denote a special service in honor of the birth of the Son of God
 Probably one of the most generally known of the old Christmas observances, next to the giving of presents, is the singing of Christmas carols. These were pious canticles designed to replace the ribald songs of the old heather festivals, and the custom of children and even grown people going about from house to house singing them at the door on Christmas eve and being rewarded with Christmas cheer and Christmas spend- ing money is maintained in many parts of England even at the present day.

Old Time Epicures.

Listen to the enumeration of good things described by Whistlecraft to have been served up at King Arthur's table on Christmas day. If the list be authen- tic, there is less reason to wonder at the feats of courage and strength performed by the Knights of the Round Table: They served up salmon, venison and wild

CHRISTMAS CAROL.

The earth has grown old with its burden of
 care,
 But at Christmas it always is young. The heart of the jewel burns lustrous and fair, And its soul full of music breaks forth on tho
 air,
 When the song of the angels is sung. It Is coming, old earth, 1t is coming tonight! On the snowfakes which cover thy sod The feet of the Christ child fall gentle and
 white, And tho voice of the Christ child tells out with
 delight
 That mankind are the children of God. On the sad and the lonely, the wretched and
 poor,
 The voice of the Christ child shall fall: And to every blind wanderer open the door Of hope that he dared not to dream of before, With a sunshine of welcome for all. The feet of the humbest may walk in the field Where the feet of the Holiest have trod, This, this is the marvel to mortals revealed When the silvery trumpets of Christmas have
 pealed,
 That mankind are tho children of God.

Still Believed in Santa Claus.

Faith in the Santa Claus myth hasn't entirely faded ou5 of the juvenile mind, though even the very youngest repre-. sentatives of the present generation are apt to be slieptical. The proof:
 Little Bettina, three years old, has a rag doll with whom her relations are particularly tender and sympathetic. A morning or two ago this doll was dis covered near the fireplace in shocking condition. She was black in the face and, in fact, black all over, and the smell of soot about her was very strong. It was Il mystery until Bettina was in terrogated. The condition of the doll made her look little rueful, but she frightened up, and said:
 Il tiEpered to Patty all the things I wanted for Christmas and sent. her up the chimney to tell Santa Claus"-Bos- ton Transcript.

THREE CHRISTMAS CHIMES.

Hearken! how tho Christmas chime Sings on earth Its song sublimel "See the twain whose weary feet Wander through the village street. Doors are closed against the stranger See the Child, the meek and lowly, Christ the mighty, the all holy,
 Sleeping cradled in a manager" Sing your joy, O Christmas chimel Let us keep the Christmas time. Be the loaf of plenty doled. Be the poor mans heart consoled. Thus we keep the Christmas time. Hcarken! still the Christmas chime Sings on earth its song sublimel "Wondering shepherds see the night Flooded with celestial light
 Wondering hear the argel message: Come and lot us kneel before him, Let us find him and adore him. Peace on earth this child doth pres.
 ngo." Sing your joy, O Christmas chimei Let us keep the Christmas time. Let all strife and hatred cease, Kindness live, good will and peace. Thus wo keep the Christmas time.
 III. Hearken! still the Christmas chime Sings on earth its song sublime! Eagerly the Magi sped By the wondrous star beam led, Gold and myrrh, and incense offer. He brings most-yes, he the highest Draweth unto God the Highest Who a heart of love doth proffer." Sing your joy, O Christmas chime! Let us keep the Christmas time. Love shall be the law to bind In one band all humankind. Thus we keep the Christmas time.
