St. Paul's Church sunday-school.

The Christmas festival held by the
children of st. PauPs Church Sunday
school on Thursday evening was a COM
plete success. Besides gladdening the
hearts of the little ones, their eyes were
delighted by the surprise that greeted
them in the shape of Christmas house,
instead of tree, a novel and pleasing
innovation in the way of Christmas festi-
yals.
After the singing of several carols the
curtain that concealed the house was
raised, and there, in all his glory, stood
Santa Claus. The presents, of which
there was large number, were dis
tributed among the eager children as
quickly as possible, and, after singing
two more carols, the children were dis
missed. All enjoyed themselves inn

How Buchanan Defeated OOuSioSs
To the Editor Of The Dispatch:
Your correspondent, Frank G. Carpenter,
tells story in Sundays DISPATCH, which he
calls, 'How Buchanan Defeated Douglas"
He says: 'It was brought about by $90 LOCO in
gold coin presented by New York and by the
withdrawal Of Stephen A. Douglas"
/ attended the Democratic National Con-
vention at Cincinnati in 1856 Douglas and
Pierce were the candidates of the South and
Buchanan was the candidate Of the North
ern Democrats. Besides the State OF Wiz
ginia, Buchanan had no votes in the South
except four or five in Louisiana and three or
four in Maryland. Douglas had in 1854, as
Chairman of the Committee on Territories,
brought in and pushed through the bill re-
pealing the Missouri compromise, and
Pierce as President had signed it. The
South therefore demanded the nomination
of one of them. Douglas had no show, but
he hung on until the last and never thought
OF Withdrawing.
His champion was william A. Richardson,
of illinois, an indomitable fighter. On the
first ballot James Buchanan had l35 votes
Franklin Pierce 122, Stephen A. Douglas 3S
and Lewis Cass s. On the fifteenth ballot
Pierce's vote was transferred to Douglas,
but in spite of this combination BY the
South Buchanan beat Douglas, and, on the
seventeenth ballot, was nominated by
large ajority.
Ryndess having "$9O. 900 in gold spread out
on the floor Of his parlor at the Burnett
House to influence delegates for Buchanan"
like that of Douglas proposed withdrawal,
is of the fish fishy. 1 saw Captain Ryndess,
in and out of his rooms, every day during
the convention and never heard OF any
thing of the kind. In fact, don't believe
he had $500 in any kind of money, let alone
800 600 in gold. 1 doubt if all the delegates in
that convention could together have
spread out So, 900 in cash. +.

acrimony, and consider the feeling i'm
piled by a petition to Parliament signed
by $50, 900 worl1ingmen on behalf of a
treaty providing for permanent arbitra-
ton between this country and England.
1t is worthy OF note that the delay
which has already occurred in the matter
of the modus vivendi is almost univer-
sally ascribed in England to Canadian in
fluence. 1t would therefore be highly
proper that Canada should be made to
bear the brunt of retaliatory measures, if
such were found necessary. But retalia-
ton will not be necessary, for, even if he
lacked the requisite craftsmanship, Sails
bury is politician enough to understand
how disastrous a continued delay would
be in the face of the avowed wishes of the
workingmen on the eve of general cleo
ton. A little more common sense and a
trifle less acidity among the Jingo organs
here and there would be a great improve
ment and tend to make the world 60
round more smoothly.

TARIFF In THE HOUSE.

Mr.. MCMILLIN's speech in itself furnishes q
very strong argument against the crazy
quilt tariff policy of the Tiger House.-NeD
York Recorder.
INSTEAD of adopting manly and courage
Gus line of action the Democrats have seen
fit to attack the tariff on only few of its
$500 items.-NeW York Press.
THE tariff controversy in the House has
opened, and Republican success in Novem-
ber is now assured beyond the shadow of a
doubt-G. Louis Globe Democrat.
Mr. McMILLIN's speech in opening the
tariff debate in the House is fair illustra-
tion of the dishonesty of the Democratic
party on the subject of tariff reform.-Phila-
deLphia Press.
DEMOCRATS insist that strikes are due to
the tariff. How do they explain the fact that
the biggest strike ever threatened is that of
the English coal miners, and that it is in q
free trade country?-Ioiedo Blade.
CONGRESSMAN McMILLIN has opened the
tariff debate. But all Democrats can talk
free trade. The question is when will they
pass Nj. Springer's free wool bill? The
Democrats make no rash promises there
Chicago Inter Ocean.
THE reciprocity section of the tariff law
doesn't suit Congressman McMil1in. 1t suits
the majority of the people, however, and
will stand until the Republicans regain
power in the House and have an opportunity
to devise something better to take its place.
Columbus Times.
THE strongest argument that Mr.. McMillin
could advance against the Mckinley bill
was that the laborer has been forced to pay
more for various things, while his wages
have not been advanced. And again we are
made to listen to the parrot-like cry, "the
tariff is q tax."-Philddelphia Inquirer.

HYGIENE AND THE CLERGY.
Various improvements for the Health's
Sake Might Be Adopted.



New York Evening SUM-
A society of clergymen, known as tho Gen.
trail North Chicago Ministerial Association
has just adopted series of resolutions upon
funeral customs. Among them is one that
a service is ordinarily complete that consists
of the usual readings and prayer at the
house without any addition at the grave;
another is, that only such persons accom-
pany the remains to the grave as may be
personally requested to do So The second
of these is aimed against the ostentation dis
played at funerals which often falls as
needless and cruel tax upon the bereaved.
The first has more to do than is generally
understood with the public health. The
late Duke of Clarence, it is well-known, took
his first fatal illness by exposure bare
headed at funeral The. occurrence drew
attention very generally in England to
grave customs, and one prelate, the Bishop
Nottingham. took occasion to announce that
anyone would be showing every respect on
these solemn occasions if he wore black
skull cap.
Thousands of men who would not for any
ordinary consideration walk bareheaded a
dozen yards from their own door stand
with heads exposed to the chill atmosphere
of a cemetery while their friends and reia-
tives are consigned to the grave. But the
attention of the reverend clergy while di-
rected to this subject of health may well go
lurtner, ana take some note OF the pad ven
tilation and heating arrangements of many
churches. We're they sanitarians they
could not but be aware that the air of their
buildings often becomes distinctly injurious
before even an hour of the service has
elapsed The gas aids materially in the air
pollution. The means of outlet for foul air,
In nearly all of the older churches and in
not few of the new ones, are at least made
quate. Gas ought to be placed high, and the
jets may most conveniently be disposed in
rings in order that they may be beneath
openings leading directly to the.externaI
disposed to insist upon extraction shafts at
each corner OF the edifice opening well
above the gallery level for carrying off the
air vitiated by the congregation, together
with the injurious products of gas combus-
tiOn.

TIE METHOD OF DISTRIBUTION.

The statement made by the authority of
the Standard Oil Trust that the Trust will
be dissolved and the property distributed,
in Difference to the decision of the Ohio
Supreme Court, bears oh its face CON-
mendable respect for the law. But
whether the action thus promised COM
plies with the real intent Of the decision
will depend on the manner in which the
distribution of the property of the trust is
made.
Its property consists of stock in the
various corporations engaged in the
petroleum business controlled by that Or
ganlzation. The statement of Mr.. S. G.
T. Dodd discloses some doubt as to the
manner in which this stock. will be dis
tributed The mere statement of that
doubt indicates that method is being
sought after by which each certificate
holder in the Trust shall receive a pro-
portionate amount of the shares of every
corporation held by it, thus perpetuating
the Joint control
The fact is, however, that under the
decisions the one method of distribution
alone is indicated. The shares held by
ohO 1iuoe NCIC dC4uiICu ny dill IiCSdl
agreement, and that agreement being de-
clared null and void, these shares in
every instance must return to the original
owners. The ownership of refinery in
Ohio must go back to the Ohio men who
sold or transferred it to the Trust; that of
a Pennsylvania corporation must return
to the Pennsylvanians. The certificate
holders of the Trust have claim in equity
for the consideration given in the acquisi-
ton of the property, subject to the cloud
which is cast upon all claims in equity
arising out of an agreement against public
policy.
If the Standard Trust takes the course
of returning the properties under it to
their original independent control, it can
fairly claim to show a respect for the law
in marked contrast to the other Trusts that
have initiated it. But if it makes dis
tribution which maintains the joint con-
troll, it will seek to evade the law just as
the others have done.

How Electricity Is Solving One Phase of the
Transportation Problem.
Philadelphia Press.]
The United States has a,population Of 36,-
5ls, 176 which live outside of towns of LOCO
inhabitants and over Even of those in towns
5,3l977s live in places Of 1000 inhabitants
and under In all then Al, ,S32,954 of the
population live on solitary farms, in places
under 1000 population or at most In places
under 4OOO and which are. therefore too
small to support horse cars or any form of
transportation except primitive means of
wagon transport.
Yet this class OF the population has to
take its entire product to railroads and
market over varying distances and on the
worst roads known to civilization. 1t is not
surprising that Western newspapers and
farmers clubs are beginning to discuss the
possibility of cheap farmers narrow gauge
roads, laid for 50. 500 a mile, and intended
to carry products and crops to market. Such
club at Gilman, Ill, but the Rdtt,Ody Age
shows q narrow-guage road could not be
built in the f1imsiest way for the sum men
toned. With good roads, which would also
cost about $3,0 600 mile, it would perhaps not
be needed.
Electric railways are, however, reaching
out into the rural districts and it is pos
sible that these will solve the problem. This
country has 1856 electrical railways, $3.50
miles long, and with q capital of $155, ,O67.-
973. Many Of these are in cities, but no small
share of them are rural. OF the SO
miles in California and ia miles in Color
ado considerable share are rural. These
have been sufficiently successful to lead to
contracts for 50-mile electric railroad
in California for rural traffic. A road Is

LIBERALS IN LONDON.

The Liberal victory in the election of
the London County Councils, which COM
prises constituency mainly represented
in the present Parliament by Conserva-
tives and Unionists, has good deal of
importance in foreshadowing the result of
the next general election; but its imme-
diate result is more likely to affect ques-
tions of taxation which were at issue in
the contests
One Of the expected reforms which
arouses the most bitter opposition from
the Conservative class is outlined by the
proposition to tax ground rents in proper
tion to their enhancement by the growth
of population. London has perhaps q
larger share of its area than any other city
Of the world held by a few great owners, who
lease their property on ground rents, after
fashion not wholly unknown in Pitts
burg. This is so general that we hear in
ePatience" reference to "building
leases" just as here we would speak Of
buying houses and lots The leases gen.
orally provide that the lessees shall pay
Liberal reformers propose to introduce a
new element by levying tax on the
ground rents themselves.
This is regarded by the land owners
generally of aristocratic rank, as socialism
of the most disturbing class In this
country we hear it spoken of as the first
step toward the Henry George theory. If
so, it is the step within the bounds where
the theory of that reformer is well
founded, as ground rents form lass of
property that should be taxed, and, so far
as can be done without danger of abuse,
should be Disseminated against in taxa
ton. But it is not the full Henry George
theory, for it does not take all the
ground rents; and it is not a single tax, for
other taxes are levied. Another reform,
which is regarded as an innovation, is the
proposition that the opening and paving
of streets shall be paid for on the much
discussed but generally accepted plan in
this country of assessing it on the prop
erty benefited.
In addition, the liberal element in Lon
don municipal affairs advocate mild sort

THE COAL DISCRIMINATION.

The old question of coal rates from
Pittsburg to the lake ports is to come up
before meeting of railway officials next
week. Elsewhere in this issue an intima-
ton is given that a change may be made
in the policy which has hampered our coal
trade for some years past. 1t is to be
hoped that this may prove well founded,
but it will involve so radical change in
railway policy that it will not be wise to
place much faith in it until tangible evil
dence is given to that effect.
For series of years the coal interests of
Western Pennsylvania have been forced
to bear the discrimination of rate on
Hooking Valley coal 10 to Is cents per ton
lower than they could get on distance
nearly IS to 100 miles shorter. In proper
ton to mileage the discrimination
against them was that of freight rate
of 80 to 40 per cent more than their COM
petitors had to pay. This discrimination
has been maintained by the combination
of railroads which processes to exist for
the purpose CT preventing such evils; but
this profession is shown in its true light by
the fact that it has steadily maintained
this inequality-a course which can hardly
be explained on any other theory than that
the railroad corporations or officials COM
posing the Central Traffic Association
have more direct interest in the prosperity
of the Hooking Valley coal fields than in
those of Western Pennsylvania.
The inevitable restriction of the Pitts
burg coal shipments by this discrimination
has, it is reported, opened the eyes of the
Pennsylvania Company to the necessity of
a different policy. 1t is indisputable that
the purpose of cherishing the interests
which furnish it traffic will dictate the
course of making rates which will stimu-
late coal shipments instead of discourag-
ing them But to do that the Pennsylva-
mia Company will have to return to the
old business policy of operating its lines
solely in the interests of its own traffic,
instead of combining with other lines to
do what the majority of corporate inter-
ests may prefer.
1t is to be hoped that such course may
be resolved upon; but we had better wait
till next week before making sure of it.
