CHRISTMAS.

Another month and Christmas will
be here. The magic word calls to ones
mind childish days when for weeks
before that eventful day, the one
thought was OF what old Santa would
bring. To most Of us the happiest
period of our lives has been that time
when. fearful that the sly old KRIS
Krlngle would discover US and fly
away, we have stolen softly about the
half dar0ened room and arranged the
stockings that we knew would be visit
ed before morning.
There were sad little hearts then,
and there are now, hearts that have
never been made glad by the generous
visits OF this strange old fellow from
the Arctics, and when we picture the
pinched little faces peering into the
happy homes OF the more fortunate,
longing for some OF the good things
that are there in abundance, 1t takes
all the enjoyment out OF the occasion.
Here In Astoria we are not In excep-
tion to this class, for 1t would not be
q very hard matter to find number
OF homes where Christmas will be any
thing but happy day. Could there be
anything more appropriate then, than
for the good christian people Of our
city to step In and raise liberal fund
with which to purchase presents for
those we have with us. who would 9TH
erwlse receive nothing? It is even a
pleasure to contemplate the many
heavy hearts that few dollars would
gladden. on that day.

Not long ago It was the fashion tc
sneer at religion in politics" and God
and morality party" was the choicest
theme for scofiing before certain audi
ences. When the churches OF New Jer.
sey, says the New York Tribune, took
up arms against the saloon and gam,

clans, not OF one party exclusively,
moclSed at them and predicted the blow.

80 when the churches Of Brooklyn be,
gan to have an opinion about mrnici-
pal corruption. Still later, the crusade
OF DR.. Parkhurst was derlded and de.
nounced, even by some clergymen, But
great lesson has been taught, that the
people are not careless or Indifferent
when their government is made the tool
Of fraud. vice and crime. This lesson
will have It's curative influence with the
practical politicians OF both parties, II
will teach Republicans as well as DEM
ocratic managers and legislators that
the moral and religious sentiment OF
1.-THE people cannot be disregarded with
impunity. II is but the truth that the
people of New York themselves, by so
long tolerating and upholding the low
est and basest methods and influences,
have done much to demorallze active
men in both parties, If the Republican
party has suffered least. and has kept
its hands more clean. it Is because that
party embraced fewer OF the voters
who are Indifferent 20 all moral or re-
ligious obligations so that It's active
men were thus held more strictly to
accountability in party counselR But
Il Ia not the less true that men OF both
parties had been made to feel by the
long and insolent triumph OF vice and
crime IN that STAGE. that the people
had lost all regard for higher obliga,

lesson It Is for all OF them, when more

To those Of our late railroad visitors
who were in this section OF the coun-
try for the first time, nothing was more
surprising than the extent and import
ance Of the government work at the
mouth Of the river, and it was COM
mon remark among them that 1t far
exceeded in every particular any opin-
ion they had previously formed. But
still more surprising was the positive
assertion, by those who have made a
study Of the subject, that this work
has been the most economically and
snecessfully administered Of any Of like
magnitude ever undertaken by the gov-
ernment. It is altogether probable that
not a little of this high record Of efii-
cheney is due to the remoteness Of the
works location from the political CEN
tres of the country, and its consequent
immunity from all jobbery and other
forms Of interference TO which it might
have been subjected by those having a
pull" The competent and faithful
public servants in charge Of the work,
being thus left free and unembaTassed
in the execution of plans and methods
formed from painstaking study and
practical experience, have produced re.
suits actually unlocked for even by
those who originally projected and esti-
mated the cost of the work.

Height of a Ship.


To the Editor of the Dispatch:
I read statement some time ago that
a blunder had been made in building the
United States naval ships. The account
allude 10 stated that the error was IN
the height OF the cruisers. Now, | wish
you would kindly inform me. through
your query column. what Is meant by the
height OF ship, and what part was
too high? ENQUIRER.
Enquirer doubtless refers to the meta
centric height of a ship. This is guam
tity which has nothing to do with the
height Of ships themselves, but represents
the distance between the ships centres
OF gravity and d point called the
metacentre. and is a partial measurement
OF a ships stabllty-that ia a measure
ment of her tendency to return 10 an
upright position after she has been in
clined by the waves of the sea. This is
the same property that is possessed by
the little Chinese toys which amuse chill
