Governor Mckinley and others OF the

president, in accepting, says he is grateful
for the approval OF his administration as
expressed by the convention in his re.
nomination; that he has endeavored to
carry ont the pledge of 1888, and if the
policy Of the administration has not been
distinctly and progressively American the
fault lies, not in the purpose, but in the
execution. The president reviews the

says, has been challenged by Democrats

The ArchbishOp's visit.

Archbishop Salpointe came to Park
View Saturday and was received with
tokens of the greatest affection. The
road from the Brazos On fully two miles
was decorated with evergreens at various
points. Two thousand people came out
to meet the reverend father. Sunday he
held services at the cathedral, assisted
by Fathers Gourcy and Bruner. Three
hundred and thirty-fve children were
confirmed. The services were very
impressive. The archbishop made a
most favorable impression upon all who
met him outsiders as well as his own
members.-Chama Northwest.

BRIEF WlRINGS::-
Arkansas Election.

PINE BLUFF, Ark, Sept. 6.-The cleo
ton is passing off very quietly and very
slowly here. Under the new law, only
five minutes are allowed for voting. and
as the average citizen can't prepare his
ballot in that time, the aggregate vote will
be greatly diminished. This county usual
ly gives 4,500 Republican majority, but
owing to the difficulty the negroes have
in preparing the Australian ballot, this
majority will be largely reduced, and some
even think the Democrats will carry the
county. The news from other counties is
to the same effect.

THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT AND
GIVING.

The Christmas Eve is at hand, joyous
forerunner of the day that breaches to all
! the civilized world the sermon of good
will. Christmas comes to us now in a
larger sense than ever before as the sea-
son that allays passion, softens hearts,
breaks through the shell of selfshness
and makes men more and more conscious
that they are all akin. With each year it
is charging its office and spreading the
boundary of its beneficence over larger
territories of human hearts. 1t is steadily,
mercilessly treading down the barrier of
sect, and religious caste that separates
men into classes and clans.
He who does not now believe in Christ
mas in some sense is fit to be put outside
the pale of human sympathy. For it is a
common event that relates itself in some
way to all men whose hearts are not
wholly callous.
Best Of all it brings families into re-
unions that tend to bind those of one
! blood closer together, and teaches them
the blessedness of the dependence of each
upon the ether. The JOY Of living is in
our value to others, those to whom we
are more precious because we trace life to
the same family tree.
There are those who assume to deplore
the coming Of Christmas, because it
brings with it the custom Of exchange of
presents. But in their hearts they are
untrue. 1t is not that they despise the
custom, but their pride pricks them that
they are not able to crafty their vanity
by the costIiness of the gifts. Let such
reflect that it is not the money value Of
the token that enriches it, it is the
thoughtful love that endowes it and
makes it priceless. Let it be simple
or ornate. cheap or Of great value, merely
ornamental or practically useful, it is
the spirit Of the giver, the sweet satisfac-
ton Of love, the stamp OF friendship, the
respectful testimony Of admiration that
makes it a blessing to giver and recipient
alike.
1t costs to give, but it is an investment
that pays in that which is more precious
than gold and rubies, more lasting than
diamonds and jewels. 1t may make us
suffer by sacrifices of personal comfort to
meet the cost; it may put our wits to the
test to fill the measure of our desires; it
may for some little time make US feel
poorer, but shall we not confess that it is
satisfactory and that there is in it full
compensation after all? Surely there is
truth in the homely philosophy of that
sweet singer, Mrs. Sangster:
I began to save for December
Before the first of May,
And / like to be bankrupt for awhile
After the Christmas day,

THE FARC1CAL DUEL.

If only the French people could be
made to laugh at this crisis of state all
fears of revolution might be put aside.
But the Frenchman takes such things
seriously. or else the farcical duel between
Clemenceau and Deroulede would con-
vulse France with mirth.
Here is a theme for the Iibrettist of
comic opera that could be worked up to
degree of the ridiculous that would throw
the "Grand Duchess" opera bouffe into
deepest shade. There was grim humor.
as the outsider looks at it, in the decision
of General Soussier that thu men, if they
desired. might mingle thrift with blood,
and the one have the privilege of dispens-
ing the news of the fight to the press, and
the other the opportunity to have a snap
camera artist fix the scene upon a photo
graphic plate, that all the world might
note at few francs copy the heroic
bearing of these bIoodthirsty braves.
The mingling of the pathetic and the
ridiculous was not more successfully ac-
complished than when the combatants
clipped locks of hair from their heads and
distributed them as souvenirs among
their friends.
The spirit of handy trade that per-
vaded the whole performance was enough
to kindle the envy of the most sensa-
tional Of American newspaper proprietors
in fact La Justice has made stroke in
this dramatic episode that some OF our
metropolitan contemporaries will con-
template with undisguised jealousy. If
the subscription list OF La Justice does
not boom, for few days at least, then
the French public is insensible and
wholly unappreciative Of enterprise.
The placing of the men at twenty-five

tators which surrounded the combatants.
and which scattered from the adjacent
fence-tops in fine haste as the bullets
went dangerously astray. 1t was, how
ever, a discreet provision of the bluff old
General to whom the arrangement of the
details was committed, and whom we
suspect of laughing in his sleeve, for it
PROFESSIONALLY saved the life Of one or
the other or both of the duelists.
That was a fine exhibition of caution
on the part of each of the conbatants in
waving the right to advance to five PAGES
after the first fire, since this would
have brought them within fifteen
feet of one another, for by some mis-

tally useful for the protection of metallic
surfaces, is prepared from cotton-seed oil.
A gallon of pure cotton-seed oil is pat
into suitable iron vessel and twenty
pounds of melted lead poured into it.
After a thorough stirring the lead separ-

found to be about seventeen of the twenty
pounds of lead remaining, the other
three pounds having been absorbed by
the oil. On the lead which has thus been
employed being again melted, and the

absorbed is about ten pounds. The oil
thus charged with the lead is then used
