and a sack of candy, but he would
have found that the Christmas of
the rich is above Christ.
To make of Christmas holiday,
and for the rich to give to the poor
on that occasion, and forget all the
balance of the year that there is
any poor, is sheer mockery OF the
Christ command to love our neigh
Dor as ourselves. There is no re-
scmblance to Christ in the ostenta-
tious giving of the milllonaIres,
especially when the gifts were taken
from the poor by the use Of unfair
conditions. The id SO often held
forth by the writers Of holiday
stories, that Christmas giving is
christian, is not in accord with
the teaching of Christ. The
teaching of Christ is that
God is the giver of all good things,
and mankind as His children are to
share these gifts all the year round.
The conditions that create million
aires with gifts, and paupers to be
given to, arc not christian. Tin
horns, and sacks of candy for poor
children, will not buy a place in
Heaven, not even for SO benevolent
a fine old gentleman as Mr.. Armour.
Far toe cheap.

LESTER HUBBARD, editor of the
Farmers Voice, in a recent editor
ial, roasted the judges of the pluto
Gratis courts, over what he aptly
termed Devil Law"-the eviction
of twenty years settlers on the
public domain in northern Dakota
He has a wonderfully fruitful field
for that kind of roasting. There
are great many phases Of "devil
law" and devil judges, too, to en-
force that law. The kind Of devil
law Hubbard inveighed against, is
the unwrittcn law of intellectually
third-rate corporation judges. Such
Judges need roasting, but their I'M
written laws are not the only "devil
laws " The Puritans, in their days
of poverty, enacted many such
laws, and afterwards came a period
when all were equal before the law.
That was in the days when there
were intellectual giants among
them. Now, since every force is
stretched to gather TIE "honest
dollar" they have gone b-ck to
devil law" The Connecticut
Blue Laws were reproach to their
day. The decendents of the Blue
Law fathers have not improved their
environments. Their civilization is
failure. Their brother man is
wholly forgotten. With them,

The day of mammoth steals is
not yet gone by. The big steal OF
the Pacific railroad appears to have
taught our lawmakers and presi-
dents nothing. The pious Benja-
min Harrison endorses, in his mes,
sage to congress, the gigantic
Nicaraugu canal steal. Experts
report the cost of the canal to be
not more than $65,O00,0O0, and
Benjamin wants the United States
to go into partnership with this pri-
vate corporation, and guarantee the
payment of the cost of the enter
prise to the amount of 10000 900.
He must be obtuse indeed that does
not see the result of such a guaran-
tee. The nations experience with
the Pacific railroad bonds ought to
be a valuable lesson, and would be

Chris tmas.

Qhr1stm0Ss
1t would seem, from Chicago
News report, that the Armours are
great christians, as well as cattle
and hog people. The Armours have
established mission for the heather
children of Chicago, and on Christ
mas gave the children an entertain
ment. There were 1900 heather
children present in the Armour
chapel. Mr.. Armour was present,
and was, according to the News
reporter, wonderfully benevolent
looking man in side-whiskers. His
benevolent face shone with joy, and
altogether he was the central figure
of the occasion. There was a chap
ell built by the Armours. There
were heather children in great num-
bers. There were presents for the
children, supplied by the Armours.
Brooms, dolls, tin-horns and candy;
but no Christ. Or if there was, the
reporter,in his admiration and praise
of Mr.. Armour, forgot to report
Him. Also the reporter forgot to
mention that the money in the chap
ell, and in the presents, was wrested
from farmers through robber beef
cobine; and the Armour benevo-
lence is like the benevolence Of
ancient highwaymen.
There was Christmas at the White
House. The president of the great
United States kept Christmas. 1t
was generally reported in the snob-
noodle press. Christmas at the
White House could not he kept
from the public. The president, in
good old baronlal style, had all the
servants mustered into line, even to
black Josephene. All received
presents. The president even greet
ed each servant, calling them by
name. 1t was a great event, and
the servants will be happy in its
memory for many days. According
to the press reports, the president
was the central figure. The Christ
of Gallilee was too lowly figure to
be present at White House Christ
mas, or at Phil Armour Christmas,
or at Jay Gould Christmas. The
Man who was born in manger,
and was so poor that lie had not
where to lay His head, might, had
He been present, received tin-horn

tenslfled. With them, poverty is a
crime, and to search for work,
felony. For man to sit down and
wait for work to come to him will
cause his arrest as vagrant, and if
he tramps in search of work, he is
arrested and thrown into prison. If
he waits for work to come to him,
he is arrested and thrown into pris-
on, and the same fate awaits him if
he takes the road in search of it.
If in his dire extremity he asks for
food, he is outlawed. Which ever
way he turns, mans hand is against
him. Prison and poverty, or power
ty and prison; and this among
professedly civilized, enlightened
and christian people. For ages
they have kept back the wages of
those who have builded their rail
roads and erected their houses The
profits of the laborers have gone
into the Golfers Of the few, and now
in old age and need, those laborers
are confronted with these devil
laws enacted by robbers, for the
protection of the robbers. If the
hardships of the poor lead them to
commit suicide or attempt it and
fail, felon's cell' becomes their
home. There is no cffOrt>to bring
ioy and sunshine to lives, but rather
sorrow, and blackness, and dark
ness and despair. The countless
thousands mourn" that the few may
live lives of ease, and luxury.
There are still other "devil laws"
and they are not confined .os the
statute books of Connecticut, but
in every state Of this highly-favored
land. What other law is SD filled
with brutal and fendish provisions
as is the mortgage law! Every
safeguard is thrown around the
creditor. His investment is guard
ed with every defense a GINNING
sehemer can devise. A crying ne
cessity may force the mortgag5r to

ing terms. No matter. His fears
are great, but his wants, his neces-
sites are greater. His equity
two-thirds of the value of his home
is poorly guarded. He, cant help
himself; he must submit. If, in
the whirligig of events, he become
unable to redeem his home, and the
home of his wife aud children, that
equity is lost sight of and swallow
ed up; lost to the poor debtor, that
Shylock get his pound of flesh;

There is one class of persons in this
world that the COURIER holds in SUI
preme contempt, and that is the old
bachelors. There are more than 20 Of
them in Cooperstown and we are frank
to say that there are 90 too many.
What good are they: They simply take
up room, occupy some .position, or fill
some business situation that aught to be
filled by man who has got sense
enough to marry. 1t would be good
thing for Cooperstown if an epidemic
or women would visit town and reduce
the number of our old bachelors, but il
would be rough on the epidemic or
women.

and appointing new board. The
present board was over a year in or
ganizing and electing president.
During this year people were asking
all over the state, "what has become
of our Worlds Fair commissioners
what are they doing" Their
silence and inactivity allowed them
to be almost forgotten. Finally the
people are made to realize that such
a board exists by loud cry for
MORE MONEY. They didn't tell the
people what they had done, what
they wanted to do. or what aught to
be done. 1t was simply, "G1vE US
MORE MONEY" The late legislature,
both the senate and the house, asked
for an itemized statement of what
money had been expended of the
$4,000 formerly appropriated. The
statement was not forthcoming.
Their reply was, GIVE US MORE
MONEY. 1t never should have been
necessary to ask this question. The
board should have seen that the
answer was in the hands of every
member of the legislature as soon as
they arrived in Bismarck, or before
together with a brief statement of
what they had done, what they could
do with the $4,000 already appro-
prfated and what they wanted to do
with ain additional sum. The peo-
pie objected to an additional appro-
priation because they didn't have
confidence in the present commits
sioners. That lack of confidence
was justified. If the board had pos
sessed the confidence Of the people,
it would have had no trouble in Sc
curing $4,000 appropriation.
Without the former, it could not ex-
pect the latter. There are men in
this state who have made the work
of getting up exhibits of this kind
life work and study. The govern
or failed to recognize any such in his
appointments. The result is just
what could have been foreseen, 1t
is not yet too late for the commits
sion to win the applause Of the peo-
pie. They can resign.
