st. Stephen was the first witness to the faith
of Christ who sealed it with his blood. He
was one of the first six deacons of the church,
and man 'full of faith and of the Holy
Ghost" curious superstition was formerly
connected with st. Stephens Day, the origin
of which would be hard to trace-that on that
day horses, to insure them against disease
in the following year, should be first well gal
Hoped and then copiously bled.
The festival of st. John, the beloved disciple,
is well placed two days after the Nativity of
his Master. To him was committed by his
dying Lord the care of His Virgin Mother,
and to him was also granted the privilege, in
the isle of Patmos, of seeing the Church, the
Bride of Christ, descending from heaven.
The festival of Holy Innocents commemor-
ates those unconscious martyrs, "of two years
old and UNDER" put to death by Herod's COM
mand, in the vain hope of destroying the In
FAINT Jesus.

CHRIsTMAs.-The weather on Christmas
day was unique, for this latitude. Instead of
sombre skies and wintry atmosphere, the
sky was blue, the sun shone bright and balmy
and q Christmas peace and joy appeared to
have settled upon the face of nature. The
day was observed in the Protestant Episcopal
and Roman Catholic churches, and besides
being decorated with evergreens, in token of
the unchanging love of God, the services We're
bright and joyous. Many attended these SER
vices while Others spent the day in visiting
friends, and everybody, it is to be hoped, had
a good dinner, good appetite and sound
digestion. The exchange Of presents was but
little less restricted than usual, but owing to
the hard times the gifts, probably, were less
expensive. The children, however, were
made just as happy with simple. inexpensive
presents as they would have been with costly
ones, and their happiness had reflex action
upon the older folks, who became happy with
them.
Immediately after the stroke Of II, on
Christmas eve, there was general fusillade
of guns, in all parts of Bel Air, to welcome
the coming of Christmas. An interval of
quiet succeeded but about daylight the firing
was renewed with increased vigor, and by this
time, probably, all the children in the place
were awake and in possession of their Christ
mas stockings. Ice and snow may seem to be
the most fitting Accomplishments of Christmas,
but it must be confessed that the pleasant
weather had its compensation, in enabling
many persons otherwise house bound. to en-
Joy part of the day, at least, out of doors.
Altogether, it was, for nearly everybody, a
bright and merry Christmas.

A Solution of tho n egro Question.

John T. Graves, the successor to
Henry w. Grady as leading edlto-
rial contributor to the Atlanta Con-
stitution, lectured at Chautauqua
Sunday on 1.-The New Uncle Tom 8
Cabin" which was discussion OF
the negro problem. His lecture
produced more sensation than any
that has been delivered there In
years. Mr.. Graves proposed the
DRY for its solution which briefly
outlined provides that the govern
ment set aside large territory for
a sovereign state to be differed and
controlled exclusively by the ne
groes, and no whites have the right
to vote therein; the government to
maintain troops to preserve order.
Mr.. Graves pronounced the ballot
in the hands of the negro, under
present conditions, mockery, that
the negro could not compete With
the white man. Said Mr.. Graves !:
This is a problem Of safety, OF
domestic tranquility, of national
unity; the greatest problem facing
the people of this transcendent age.
The edict has gone forth that this
is a white mans government, and
it will remain so forever, for God
Almighty has stamped his seal and
sign of sovereignty upon the Anglo
Saxon tribe"

The Coming Party.

Should Congress fail to reinstate
silver, and at present it looks very
much that way, next year will see
the greatest political agitation and
changes this country has ever wit
messed. The free silver, antimonop-
oily democrats will leave the gold
bug wing, the free-coinage republi-
cans will do the same thing, and
with the populist party, which has
charge Of the platform on which
they will all meet, form the coming
party for 1896. The populist party
will necessarily be the nucleus from
its national character, especially
from its standing with labor and
industrial organizations. The plat
form will necessarily be changed
to some extent. BIaine's reciproc-
i.y views will be endorsed; free
coinage of silver at the ratio of 16
TO ] will be the leading feature !;
an an.i-national bank plank will
be laid down; government control
of railroads and telegraph lines will
be endorsed. trusts condemned /,
equitabls and just pensions recon-
mended, and in fact the platform
will be 80 broad that any honest
man can stand on it. The popu-
list is the coming party, if the dem
ocratic party fail to do something
for silver.
The Ketchum keystone. [volume] (Ketchum, Idaho) 1885-1899, 1893-08-26
The Outlook.

The present outlook for silver is
anything but bright. The presi.
dent seems to have complete con-
troll of his party, and is using all
the power Of his official patronage
to hold it. Senators who have
always been for silver have been
bought by the administration. The
minions of Wall street are there
with millions; England has her
lobbyists there backed by British
gold, and our law making power
is being turned into a farce. The
people should be represented by
good men with plenty of rope. and
whenever a traitor is found, the
rope should be used. Next Mon
day vote will be taken in the
House, and if the democratic ma
jority demonetizes silver, they need
never again come before the peo-
pie for their suffrages.

THE republicans and democrats
of Idaho claim to be silver men,
and undoubtedly they are; they
should be; all interests are identi-
fed with the one of silver mining.
There is but one Inconsistency in
the position of these men, and that
is, how they can be silver men and
when it came to the election Of the
President, who holds the destiny of
free silver is his hands, they voted
tor acknowledged gold-bugs. Peo-

WHAT the people want is money
that the banks of this country and
Europe can't control. The ma
tional bank system is the greatest
fraud ever perpetrated on the peo-
pie. 1t gives the banks control of
a good share of our circulating
medium. If the governments in
dorsement makes Jones' note good
certainly its direct promise to pay
would be fully as good. Kill off
the national banking system. let
the government issue our money,
and stop class legislation.
