CHRKsTMAs TREES.
Happy Tim es For Sunday School
Children Last Evening",

The North AsheviIle M. E. church,
South, was packed last evening on the
occasion of the Christmas tree given to
the members of the Sunday school. The
exercises preliminary to the event of the
evening, the distribution of the gifts,
consisted of singing and recitations that
were very entertaining, several of the
recitations by the children being remark
ably we'll rendered. When this portion
of the program was concluded, Mr..
Johnson, who had charge of the exer-
cises, announced that he had expected
the presents would be given out, but
there was nothing to that effect on the
program which he held in his hand.
Juvenile hearts were beginning to feel a
disappointment, when the joke was ex-
posed by Superintendent John H. Weaver,
who took charge of the tree, and the
children were happy again. A tree, the
top of whose branches brushed the cell
ing, was bending beneath load of
presents that carried happiness to every
recipient. 1t was very ENJOYABLE enter
tainment to young and old alike. A very
commendable feature was the taking to
the church, by those who attended, gifts
tor the poor, to be distributed by the
charity and help committee of the Ep-
worth League of this church.
A holly tree of great size, covered with
presents, was the main attraction that
drew out a crowd OF members and
friends of the Sunday school of Riverside
M. E. church, South, that packed the
church to the doors last evening. An
other attraction was program Of pleas
ing music and recitations, and a talk by
VIM. Turner, superintendent of the
school. The music was under the direc-
ton of Fitch Taylor. A solo was sung
bv Mrs. Hudson, and Mr.. TAYLOR read
an appropriate story. number of the
children gave recitations in excellent
style, and throughout the exercises were
very attractive. The Christmas tree was
then attacked by the committee in
charge and it had soon yielded up its
gifts to the members of the school. 1t
was happy occasion, and one that will
long be remembered by those who
were there.

CHANCES OF WILSON BILL
SENATOR N1'HsHERSON THE
DOUBTFUL QUANTITY.

He IS a Randall Democrat And
cans, hut Probably Not-where
Vance Stands.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-What the Sem
ate will do with the tariff is coming to
be question of some moment now that
it is realized that probably only little
more than a month will elapse before the
bill providing for it's change shall reach
the body. The Democratic members of
the finance committee have already gone
far enough to know that it is going to
views which are in some respects widely
conflicting.
The Democratic membership of the
Senate committee on finance, composed
as it is of senators frnm all sections of
the country, as far east as New Jersey
and as far west as Missouri, and includ-
ing representatives from Indiana, Ten
nessee, North Carolina and Arkansas,
naturally presents all the varying shades
of sentiment on this subject held in the
party.
Senator Mcpherson has been known
for years a a Randall Democrat, and
his friends intimate that he finds many
obJectional features in the bill. Senator
Jones, of Arkansas, believes absolutely
in a tariff for revenue and for no other
purpose, and does not consider that pro-
| lection is constitutional. Senator's Har-
ris, Vest and Vance, it is safe to say, will
advocate the retention of the Wilson bill.
Such a thing might happen as Sena-
tor Mcpherson, joining with the Repub-
licans, and thus taking the question out
OF the hands of the Democl attic ma jority
of the committee, but that is not proba
bic under the circumstances. Strong
pressure may be brought upon him from
his own State to pursue this course, but
the wishes of the President will be a
strong factor with the New Jersey Sena-
tor. Furt hermore, he is a man who
ALWAYS prefers to make his fight within
the lines of his own party.

THE LESSONS OF 1T.
A Broken Legged Horse ans1 the
-. H, &. a.

EDITOR THE CITIZEN Recently at
one of its forelegs broken by kick from
another horse. a rough attempt was
made to splnt the broken leg, and then
the farmer gave, or sold, the horse to a
negro. In day or two the negro gave
the horse to another negro. The horse
remained in q stall of the warehouse for
10 days, standing on three legs. The
broken leg swclled and the cords OF the
splint cut deeply into the flesh, causing it
to bleed and mortify.
During all this time the horse had very
little to eat or to drink. Finally some
one reported the case to DIR. Ballard as
member OF the Society for the Preven-
tion of Cruelty to Animals. The doctor
| vert at once to the negro's house and
lett word that the horse must at once
nave proper surgical treatment and
be OF hcrwise properly cared for or
be killed. AS soon as the negro secured
the message he went to the doctors
house and expressed his Willingness that
the horse be killed. The doctor there
upon requt sted the chief Of police to have
the horse killed, and it was speedily shot
by the sanitary inspector. That officer
of his own motion made complaint
against the negro owner for cruelty to
animals. He was tried before ustice
Carter and fined ten dollars. Subse-
quently that magistrate tempered his
justice with more mercy and reduced the
penalty to FIVE dollars, including both
| fine and costs.
Three comments are pertinent. The
| farmer is guilty morally OF no small
offence in thus deserting in adversely his
helpless servant. People who know ot
| suffering of animals or cruelty ought
without delay to report such cases to the
Society or to the police authorities. The
society ought to be better sustained in
its work, so that it could afford to en-.
poy paid service.

PRESS COMMENT.
LONDON, Feb. 13.-The DaiIv Nezgs
says: The double chamber ARRANGEMENT
IS Infinitely better than the proposal of
1886. The retention of Irish members at
estmlnster is most likely the part of
the bill to excite keen resistance. AS a
whole, the bill is so cautious and moder-
ate that it will probably convert many of
the moderate.
The Times says: Those whom Glad
stone failed to convince in 1856 will not
De converted now by less powerful and
less persuasive appeal. The case pre-
sented abounded with ingenious plausi-
oliltles, yet it produced an impression of
profound disappointment. The most in
dulgent will fail to discern the faintest
sign of tinality in the scheme, and his
omission of any reference to the land
question until questioned on the subject
indicates plainly how he has artificialIy
restricted his view. The proposed upper
council is an exceedingly doubtful pro-
lection for the minority.
The Times denounces the retention of
Irish members at Westminster.
The Daily Chronicle says: The reten-
ton of Irish members at Westminster is.
according to our Judgment, one of the
important features that makes the home
rule bill acceptable to both England and
Ireland.
