Remember the Poor At Christmas.

The patron saint Of Christmas has
probably by this time concluded most of
the arrangements for his visit on Sunday
night TO the children of the more well-to-
/ do parents in the city; now, what is he
going TO do for the children of the poor /,
How many of Santa Claus little lists con-
tain the names of poor children who would
be made happy by box of tin soldiers, a
drum, doll, box of candy, or some
other intrinsically trifing giftl Santa
Claus has had long experience in the gift
making business, and he knows, or should
know, that much JOY can be secured at the
price of a few pennies rightly expended
for children whose parents cannot afford
the little luxuries of child life, or for those
other little creatures who have
no parents to look out for their pleasure
and comfort But the old saint is some
times forgetful. He occasionally neglects
TO visit some children that live lust next
door, when he might do so just as well
as not. And frequently he remembers,
when it is too late. and is then very sorry.
Now, this article is intended TO be re-
hinder to Santa Claus and every one of
his agents that Christmas is only a few
days off, and an appeal to them that the
pOor-the orphans, the widows, the sick
and the atfiicted-be not forgotten. The
matter may have escaped the mind up to
this time, but it is not yet too late to
make good the oversight. The charitable
institutions of the city offer channels
through which the largess of those who
desire to make an Offering to the
Babe of the Manager, may be acceptably
dispensed. There are lots of little folks,
and older folks, in the orphanages and
homes, who would be the happier for
slight membranes. There are many
families that must, through adversely,
pass a cherries Christmas day, unless
the day be frightened by warm-hearted
neighbors or acquaintance in better cir
cumstauces. The city is full of opportun-
tiles to exercise the broad charity that
should be characteristic of the anniver-
sary of the day on which mankind re-
ceiyed its greatest gift--a Saviour. Let
US make the most OF those opportunities.

&c. s., "w. W., ,, Prepare. >,

If there is an astrologer or a prophet
present, let him step forward. There
have been queer signs and omens seen in
the sky, and an explanation of them is
wanted badly. The MORNING News dis
patches of yesterday described how, on.
Wednesday morning between the hours of
$50 and 7:30, people at Wilmington and
Raleigh, n. G., had seen a strange thing,
whereby hung tail of fire, move across
the heavens and write letters upon the
armament. One colored man at Whining
ton said the letters were "W. W." while
another said they spelled Prepare"
1t seems, however, that the mys-
FERROUS visitor did not make its
first appearance over North Caro-
lima. AT an early hour of the same
morning it was observed over the town of
Timmonsville, S. C.-the town that pro-
duced David H. Traxler, chief dispenser
of palmetto grog-and that at that time
and place it was engaged in painting in
fire on the background of the sky the let
tiers &c. So These letters were as big
as a cloud and sufficiently elevated to
have been seen all over the state of South
Carolina, so saith the chronicler,
Now, what meant this handwriting
upon the SKYE Was it the effect of cloud
painting magic lanterns operated simulta-
ueously in several localities by adver-
tising fakirs, or was it "A manifestation in
warning to the powers that be- And if
the latter possibility is correct, what do
the letters &c. s. mean to South Caro-
lima, and wv. W. and Prepare" mean
to North Carolina! 1t would certainly be
a good idea for the General 'Sembly of
South Carolina to Go Slow; it may be
that the members need to Get Sailed. as
some of them are very fresh; the letters
may have referred to Growers Snick-
ersnee, which has given Gov. Tillman so
many unpleasant quarters of an hour; or
the Ghost of Scott may have been con-
jured up by the stories of printing Jobs
at Columbia. 1t is a very difficult matter
to decide just what &c S" written by
the tail of a comet, or meteor, or what
ever it was, really does mean, and the
matter must be left TO the as sroloCer.
Meanwhile, how about that wv. w"
over Wilmington How can the letters
possibly refer to Hope Elias, the postofice
or the differential on cotton' Had the
phenomenon come along a little sooner the
Wilmingtonians might, with some show
of reason, have claimed it as a boom for
Welcome Week, but that is past now, and
there is no need to prepare" for an event
that has already occurred.
It's all very mysterious, and is proper
subject for ASTROLOGICAL speculation rather
than newspaper or scientific discussion.
AT the same time we cannot help regret
ting that our astronomer friend down in
Clineh county did not get his soda water
bottle focused on the thing.

They win stand by the President.


The action OF the committee on foreign
affairs yesterday in reporting resolution
cOndemning the landing of the United
States marines at Honolulu when the
! queen was dethroned, as a substitute for
/ the resolution of Representative BOutelle
condemning the administration, shows
/ that the democrats are united in support
/ OF the Presidents course in the Hawaiian
affair. The Presidents Hawaiian mes
sage has had the effect of clearing away
the mass of Misrepresentation and out
rageously false statements in which the
supporters of the revolution have endeav-
ored TO hide the real issue, and it makes
plain the actual condition Of affairs in
Hawaii. Before the message appeared
the republicans were having everything
pretty much their own way, and a good
many democrats were afraid that the
President had done some act not strictly
within the limits of his authority. The
message, however, relieved them of all
anxiety on that point, and, at the same
time, showed them that the course of the
President was absolutely right. They
are therefore ready and anxious for the
republicans to make fight on the admin
istratiOn, because they are sure that it
can have but one result. and that is in
showing that the Harrison administra-
ton is responsible for all the trouble in
Hawaii, and that Mr.. Cleveland has
done nothing but try TO correct the mis-
takes the Harrison administration made.
Driven from one position to another the
rpn1lhlignne f0roroeincr n
that the President exceeded his authority
when he instructed Commissioner Blount
to have the American flag removed from
the state house at Honolulu, for the rea-
son that the commissioner was not such a
diplomatic representative as entitled him
to order down the American flag. That
is very weak point, but it is about the
strongest they have.
The Hawaiian debate promises to be an
exceedingly bitter one The republicans
recognize the fact they are in the wrong,
but they propose holding up their end of
the controversy by resorting to
all sorts of - falsehoods. Their
course thus far indicates that
they will stop at nothing in their eff.
forts to make it appear that the Harrison
administration was right in what it did
in respect to Hawaii, and that the Cleve-
land administration is wrong They will
succeed in making good deal of noise,
but they will accomplish nothing beyond
that The message has carried into the
minds of the people the conviction that
the aim of the Harrison administration
was to take possession of the Hawaiian
Islands without asking the consent Of the
people, and that the purpose of the Cleve-
land administration is to do what is just
and right without regard to the wishes
of certain ambitious individuals. 1t can
be said, with great degree OF safety,
that public sentiment sustains the Presi-
dent, and that nothing that the repubh-
cans in congress can say will cause a
change in that sentiment.
