The Yuletide cometh.
"Come bring with noise,
My merrie, merrie boys,
The Christmas log to the firing;
While my good dame she


While my good dame she
Bids ye all be free,
And drink to your hearts desiring"
So sang old Herriok, who was merry
highlands bard of Christmas, and in
many homes in that country it is still the
custom to burn the Yule log We do it
differently here, the Yulelog being moro
of an accepted tradition than afact. But
Christmas is merry, nevertheless, and
families reunite, il at no other time Of

An Anecdote of Gladstone.

A short time ago Mr.. Gladstone opened
| a workman's institute at Saltney, near
Chester, says the Home Magazine OF New
York. After the ceremony was com.
pleted, the right hon, gentleman and
several others who had been instru-
mental in their good work were invited
to partake Of tea. One of the company
made the remark to Mr.. Gladstone. that
he had been recently speaking to gen.
tleman who krew him at the time when
he was boy at school.
"What is his manner" inquired the
Premier. ~
"Mr. --, of Liverpool" was the
reply. ~. : VII.
"Indeed," calculated Mr.. Gladstone,
sand did he tell you anything particular
concerning our school days?"
eyes, sir; he said that you and he once
fought, and you thrashed him.
"Ah! I thought he would remember
that; and did he tell you what it was we
fought about?' eagerly inquired the vet
eran, with apparent warmth.
mo, sir, he cid not, was the reply.
"Then L will tell you," said the Grand
Old Man, rising up with as much deter
mination as if to enter on debate. "He
induced me to steal some Strawberries
from field, and whom I had done so he
wanted to take all the best Of them.
Now, when had run all the risk Of de-
lection, I was determined not to let him
have them, SO we fought for them, and I
thrashed him, and I stuck to my straw
berries And when you see your friend
again, will you kindly remember me to
him, and tell him that I do not know
whether could repeat the operation to-
day, as have not seen him for many
years, and do not know what condition
he is in; but will mention this fact to
you, that the field Of strawberries was
where Bold Street, Liverpool, now
stands"

THE CANTON WINDOW.

Bishop Cotter of winona Says There is
Nothing Miraculous in it, u
W1NoNA, Dec. 90 Bishop J. B. Cotter
this afternoon gave out the following
statement IN regard to the Canton
window:
"The result of the rigid investigation
of the Canton Incidents made under my
supervision on the 18th and 18th Of this
month may be told in substantially the
same language used and reiterated by
me in answer to the numerous requests,
public and privade, preferred during the
period Of an excitement unreasonable
and intense, only in proportion to the
distance the curious-minded and sensa-
ton seeking lived from the scene. The
manifestations thus far observed in the
little window glass OF the Canton church
appear to be explained on purely natural
grounds and other interpretations are
uncalled for. The statements, however,
thus far advanced favoring an explana-
ton by the processes Of polarization or
the unpreventabls introduction of gas
/ ous blue smoke, in cheap grades Of win
dow glass during its manufacture, can
scarcely be held as afording sufficient
explanation Of the unique face forms
found in the first window, nor Of the
singular coincidence of more strongly de-
fined forms found in the second glass.
No theory pointing to supernatural
origin for the appearances has been
shown by the Investigation made TO be
ltenable, and no one has been, nor under
existing conditions can be, permitted
with any sembiance Of warrant from the
Church to assert that the manifestations
are miraculous in their character. Who
ever advances the supernatural theory
does 90 solely in the exercise of his spri-
vate judgment, his argument deriving
value from proofs esented Il support

into, rs llot y shade of evide
has been adyanced q support Iof the nm an.
chaiitable assumpt Ion. The testimony
of the party Who bought and inserted the 4 l
glass taken under solemn oath is to the
effect that he purchased and put 10 the
glass during the absence and without the
knowledge Of the pastor, with no thought
of securing or witnessing any of the
manifestations occurring in the first WIN
dow and entirely ignorant ct the pres
ence Of the cloudy defects found in it at
the examination conducted on the 18th
inst. It is quite safe to say that suppos-
ing such inexcusably base intent on his
part, it. would be next to impossible to
select piece of glass possessing the con
ditions required for the production OF the
unique results witnessed.
whilst the mass Of testimony alleging
the presence Of cures is held to be insult
ficient to prove miraculous intervention,
no show of reason permitted its rejection
as other than evidence not sufficiently
corroborated. The counsel given to
honest, earnest inquiries immediately
after the first investigation, and repeated
into weariness again and again since,
must be offered now and with greater
emphasis. IT, is, except it be vision
from the most high: Set not thy heart
upon them, for dreams have deceived

trusts in them Eco. xxxiv. 81.
"Persons who advise the afflicted on
the strength Of sensational rumore and
in the face of my carefully consi aered
declaration, to visit Canton for extraor-
binary succor, cruelty subject them to
the dangers and painful Inconvenience OF
travelling, inclement weather and the
meager accommodations inseI able from
the misnamed pilgrimages to Canton.

INTERVIEW WITH swEErMAN.

| The Member for East Wicklow Talks Inter
estingly on Irish Politics. ~
In lieu of the address delivered by
Hon. john Swsetman, M. p, at the re-
ception given him by the people Of this
city last Thursday evening, the following
interesting interview is substituted:
Discussing the future of the Home Rule
fight he said: "It seems to be generally
conceded that when parliament assem-"
bles the bill will pass the House of Com
mons, but Lord Salisbury says it will be
thrown out by the House of Lords. This,
I believe, will be DONE"
"Does that end the Home Rule fght?''
mo, I think the next move to bs made
by the Liberal party will be to pass cor
tain laws asked for by the democracy OF
England Then if the Lords persist in
their attitude parliament will be dis
solved and the matter will go back to the
people. II the Liberal party is again
successful in carrying the election Sec
ond Home Rule bill will be passed. Lord
Salisbury says the Lords will not oppose
the will of the people as expressed by a
vote in which the Home Rule measure is
the issue.
Gas matter of fact, the Lords would
be very foolish to fight it any further,
because it would b. easy enough for the
crown to create several hundred more
Liberal peers and 80 force the measure
through the Lords. The Commons have
the matter III their own hands, as they
hold the purse strings. They can force
any measure into law that they agree
upon. It is also practically conceded
that any measure which the Liberal
party has ever been united upon has ul-
timately become law. So that Home
Rule for Ireland is moral certainty
"What would be the result II Mr..
Gladstone should die before the Home
Rule bill is passed?"
81 don't believe it would affect the re-
suit materially. Mr.. Gladstone did much
to give the people Of England the right
view Of the Home Rule measure but it
has now become go popular that it does
not depend upon him or any other per-
son to bring about it's adoption
I'm case Of his death, who would sue
coed hin?
There is no certainty. In fact, there
i no man who stands ont as second to
Nh. Gladstone. John Morley has been
talked Of, but there has never yet been
any man mentioned who seemed to be at
gu generally accepted a. the probable
successor Of the Grand Old Man. But

True Christmas Charity.

There is tendency at each Christmas
tide for writer's to urge too strongly, !
think, the beauty of Ohristmas-giving, by
donation or distribution among the 1owly
and the very poor, writes Edward W.
Box in the Christmas number Of The
Ladies' Home Journal. No charity can
be more beautiful, more typical Of the
Christ spirit than for those who can af-
ford to do 80 to send q glimmer of light
into the lives of thousands in our great
cities who can only exc out a bare exist
ence. And it speaks volumes for the
generosity of our wealthy classes, and the
heroic work done by our charitable Or
CARNATIONS, that in no other nation on
the globe are those who live in poverty
and want so we'll remembered on Christ
mas as are the poor classes OF America
But there is class which is not reached
by the donations of the wealthy, or by
the work Of charitable organizations.
There are in this country thousands OF
homes into which reverses Of fortune
come each year, where death or business
failure causes the keenest heart anguish
and the severest sell denial. These
homes contain sensitive natures which
shrink from the outstretched hand Of
charity. Poor and proud is the name
the world has for them. Perhaps but
let me tell you, my friend, it Is not easy
to receive charity whom all your life|you
have dispensed it. A reversal Of fortune
is the hardest thing in this world to bear.
The poor know not its tortures. It is the
keenest kind OF poverty. Into such
homes would / direct, ct Christmas tide,

Your correspondent is wondering what
crime he committed to evoke harsh per-

temperance society, and to call down on
his defenseless head the anathema Of
Mrs. G. F.. Judd of Lester Park. He is
surprised that his observations in the
Duluth items of December 10th should
raise such tempest in teapot"
There is nothing in the item under criti-
cism rejecting ON the Sisters of st. Bsne
dict, the pastor of the church, the good
ladies' of the parish, nor anyone else, and
they need not be vindicated before they
are attacked. The writer, in his CORES
pondence, stated that once upon time,
$50 in the treasury of ST. Vincent dc
Paul society lit didn't appear whether IN
Duluth or elsewhere) were appropriated
by vote Of Che society on the advice Of
the spiritual director, to the purchase of
Christmas tree for the children of the
parochial school, and that such appropri-
alton was diversion of the funds from
their proper use-the relief of the poor
est of Gods poor. This statement has
not been, and cannot be, truthfully nor
successfully contradicted. There was
not the slightest insinuation that a
fraud or an embezzlement had been
committed, but simply that q thought
less mistake had been made, and tnat
such mistakes, prevalent as they are, are
a detriment to society. The writer
cannot agree with Mrs. Judd that it is
proper to use the funds of a purely char
table society in providing Christmas
gifts-for the school children. They will
not be- neglected, but better that Dear
old Santa Claus" should forget them, if
shat we're the alternative, than that he
should take the crust out of the mouth
of the hungry.

BLOOMINGTON, Ill. June 27.-Adlai
Ewing Stevenson, democratic nominee
for vice-President, left Chicago on the
Chicago 4 Alton road at o'clock yes
terday afternoon for his home in this
city. With him were John c. Steven
son, his brother; James S. Ewing, his
law partner in this town, and William
G. Ewing of Chicago. All along the road
to this city enthusiastic Democrats
turned out when the train came to-
stop and welcomed the Ilinoisan
whom the Democratic party in conven-
tion assembled on Thursday chose for
the running mate of Grover Cleveland
in the coming race for the Presidency.
This was especially the case in Dwight
Pontiac, Lexington and Normal
As Gen. Stevenson stepped out Of his
car here he submitted first to as elab-
crate season Of handshaking as NOR
tai ever withstood alive. Then the
procession formed and when ready it
was made up in the following order:
A platoon of thirteen police officers
with the marshal of the day, Lient-
Col. John f. Hefferman, commanding
the Third Illinois infantry; the De-
Molay commandery K T., with its
band, followed by the drum corps;
Troop B. Illinois calalry; Company F.
Third infantry.
In the first carriage sat A. E. Steven
son, the hero OF the hour, with the
mayor Of Bloomington, D. 7. Foster,
Gen. John McNulta and w. G. Ewing.
In the second carriage were Mrs. A. E.
Stevenson, Mr.. and Mrs. James S.
Ewing. Miss Letitia Stevenson, the
youngest daughter of the future vice.
President, and little Miss Ewing. Some
ten or twelve carriages followed, filed
with prominent citizens of Blooming
ton and vicinity, some of them accom-
panied by their wives and daughters.
As the carriage in which Gen. Stew
evenson sat passed up Washington
street from the depot both sides we're
lined thickly with buggies, carriages,
and other light vehicles, while back of
them stood ranks of pedestrians,
among them a large number of men
from the Alton shops In one buggy
sat a quartette of pretty young
ladies carrying baskets filled with
roses, and these fell as shower upon
the nominee and his escort as their
carriage passed. The procession thus
resembled a triumphal march and the
scene was further embellished by the
serene sky and the blazing sun, which
for the first time in many days was not
even obscured by cloud.
When the procession reached Frank
lin park Gen. McNulta, on behalf OF
the citizens of Bloomington, made the
address of welcome, to which Gen.
Stevenson responded. The festivities
were kept up until late in the evening.

British Politics Getting Warm.

LONDON. June 27.-The election ex-
citement is growing to the highest
pitch. The tories are anxious to make
Irish home rule the sole issue and are
willing to promise every other reform
on the liberal program. The tories are
holding up the Ulster protestant pro-
test as an indication Of what may hap
pen. should home rule prevail. Sir
William Vernon Harcourt, in his ad-
dress shows that the tories scoffed at
free education and the small holdings
proposition at the last election, and
have since adopted both. He declares
that the liberals will carry forward to
success the principles OF the Newcastle
progam, Notwithstanding tory abstruc-
ton and will prove that they are
worthy Of the confidence which there
is every reason to believe the electors
will bestow upon them.

Warrant Issued for De Mores.

PARIS, June 27.-The Marquis de
Mores is deeply grieved at the fatal
outcome of his duel with Capt Mayer.
He says the combat was fought under
conditions that ought to have pre-
vented fatal issue. Before leav-
ing the battle-ground the Marquis
leaned over the dying officer and shook
hands with him. Capt. Mayer be-
longed to the French engineer corps
and was regarded by his friends as a
brilliant officer. Capt. Mayer was a
Hebrew and the duel arose from the
Marquis de Mores having expressed the
opinion that no jew ought to be an Of
ficer in the army. A warrant has been
issued for the arrest of the Marquis.
