There are two ways to say a thing.
| When we find its better said than we
can say it, We simply jump on, and copy
what we find. The following from the
New York Morning Advertiser, a little
talk by COLONEL COCKERILL, is worth
reading and worth getting in your heart :
"a week from to day the great feast
of Christendom will be celebrated. AL
ready its influence is making itself felt,
and one can see in the faces that throng
shops, streets and public places the
subtle change effected by its approach.
There is even a heartsome crinkle to the
paper in which Christmas packages are
wrapped, which seems to belong to the
season and is never heard at any other
time.
at is a wholesome infuence-that
exerted at Christmastide-an almost uni
versal softening of the heart and mellow
ing up of the impulses which too often,
during all the rest of the year, are hard
ening and growing callOus under the
pressure Of business occupation, money
getting and the stress Of overcoming
selfish interests. 1t makes no difference
whether a man recognizes or appreciates
the christian idea of the feast; if he is
human and his nObler, sWeeter part has
not been utterly frozen within him, he
cannot altogether resist the soft persua-
ding of the hour.
Unhappy the man who cannot at this
time find the means to testify his afTec
ton for wife, children, friends or the
stranger, his neighbOr whom fortune has
punished with a heavy hand. Unhappy
he who realizes that he may make, the
greater part of what he would do re-
mains untouched.
But thrice unhappy he who permits
no thought of kindly largess to enter his
souls gate when Christmas comes. Tn
loving and unloved, to him the day is a
tedious twenty four hours, gloomy and
cherries, and made almost uncomfortable
by the joyous cherriness of others whose
hearts respond to its appeal. He asks
nothing, gives nothing, and only wishes
to be let alone.
"TO him the poorest may give that
generous pity which, by a wOnderous
psychic alchemy, may be, as it
times is, transmused into a precious gift
to bear fruit somewhere, sometime, some
how"

The other day the level-headed editor
c~Ommendable article on the subject of
obtaining a cabinet officer from North
Carolina. Like ourselves it had reached
the conclusion that Our only chance was
in united effort, and that while it might

we wanted to do something practical,
we had better pool all issues and present
a single name. That paper had brought
up for consideration the name
of our able and distinguished friends,
John Henderson,, and it gave
some excellent reasons why Henderson
should be the man. But on Sunday we
observe that our contemporary and the
State Chronicle both gave prominence
TO Col. Julian ;. Carr for the cabinet.
We would be very glad to see any North
CarOlinian called TO such a distinguished
post, and especially glad if the mantle
should fall on the shoulders of Hender-
son or of Governor Jarvis, whose name
has been mentioned but as it is desir-
able for Us all TO get together, and as we

the State Chronicle have put Colonel
Carr in nomination, we rise 10 second

humanity. The savage and the barbarian

Let small blooms grow there, and Lt grasses

And raindrops filter through.

One who will love and serve thee night and day
With a more single mind.

REVISING The Pension List.

n. Y. World
The demagogues who have for
years been heaping up pensions as
brihes for votes, and the rapacious
claim agents who have made for
tunes for themselves by working
upon the cupidity of others, are
naturally up in arms at the WOrLd'S
demand for revision Of the pen
sion list
Prudent statesmen of both par
ties and the deserving old soldiers
agree, however, that something
must be done not only to check the
unnatural growth of the pension
list, but to cut down its enormous
eXactiOns.
The list needs to be made a roll
of honor, The Treasury needs to
be saved from bankruptcy.
A pension roll of Il million names
twenty-seven years after the close
of the war is self-evidently swollen
by fraud and Increased by monde
sert.
TO tax this country S200,000,000 Il
year for pensions is to impose an
unjus,ifable burden upon the peo-
pie and to render peace more cost
ly than war.
1t is notorious that the object of
the present Pension Commissioner
aud his immediate predecessor has
been to swell the list ut the great
est possible speed for the benefit Of
the Republican party. "God help

All the world admires and wonders at

ak fitted with that ingeniously curved
and gracefully fashioned handle is a
marvellously effective weapon, vastly
more apt for It's purposes than the
straight-handled headsman's AK with
which the Italian fells. trees, or the
broad-fuced hatchet used for the same
purpose in France. The American ak
helve is just what might have been ex-
pected of an inventive people laden
with the duty of conquering and civiliz-
ing forest-clad continent, The world
has been using the AK since prehistoric
times. but it remained for the American
pioneer to fashion the ideal AK handle,

boast has been that he would grant
100000 new pensions in year.
There can be neither honesty nor
justice in such an administration
of the office.
Justice alike to deserving veter-
ans and to the taxpayers requires
that the pension list be carefully
scrutinized and purged of fraud
and unworthiness. A commission
might be appointed for each State
or agency to take proof as to every
name added within the past ten
years. Some means must be adop-
ted to correct an abuse of the noble
sentiment of patriotism which has
become intolerahle.

End OF The Strike.

New York World.
The Homestead strike is at an end.
On Saturday 600 of the old employ
ees asked to be taken back and were
given work. Others had gone back
before, and others will go back as
soon as may be. A portion of the
men belonging to what is briefly
called the " Amalgamated Assecia-
ton ~ do not yet yield, but they are
not sufficient number to cause it
to be said that the strike contin-
ues.
Notwithstanding what the
Homestead Company has often
said about having a good working
force of new men and being satisfied
with the situation, it is apparent
that that the return of the former
employees was regarded with great
satisfaction, not simply because
they surrendered but also becuase
they were wanted to enable good
work to be done. The other re-.
ported to have been given that
qualified new men should not be
displaced by the returning men did
not prevent the discharge of many
who have been employed since the
strike.
What the result might have been
if the men who went out had not
also organized to prevent others
from taking their places and re-
sorted to unlawful violence of this
purpose, it is impossible to say
They committed acts which made
it imposs ible for those who belief
that obedience to law and action
within the law are the first duties
of good citizens, to cOuntenance
them. Thereby they lost the moral
support that would have been most
eff, ctive in their behalf.
For reasons which it is not nee
essary to rehearse, this strike will
be one Of the most memorable in
this country. The strikers are de-
feated, hut the Homestead Com
pany is not vindicated. Their de-
feat will not prevent other strikes,
but their experience ought to have
a salutary influence on the temper
and methods of other strikers.
