Christmas Service.

The Christmas service at the Con- gregational church, Reverend F. P. Heald, pastor, last Sabbath morning, was very interesting, and greatly en- joyed by large congregation.
 The music was exquisite, and the rendition of Emerson's fine anthem, "Sing oh Earth The Glorious Morn- ing" by the choir consisting of MT. Eugene Sykes, tenor, MT. J. B. Mix, bass, Mrs. PaschOly, soprano, Miss Hayes, alto, with Mrs Heald at the organ was all that could be desired by the most critical lover of music. Miss Kate Christ sang with rare effect and spirit a Christmas Carol" the words by Joaquin Miller, the music by Stuart, the California composer.
 The topic of the sermon was the visit of the wise men to the cradle at Bethlehem, and it was treated by MT. Heald in masterly manner, with a clear and forcible application.
 The stereopticon entertainment at evening, presenting scenes in the life of Christ was attended by large and appreciative audience who derived both pleasure and profit therefrom.

Lunlb Der.

The New York Journal Of Commerce
says that the consular reports just is
sued, showing the enormous extent of
our lumber exports to all parts of the
world, expose the fallacy OF the pre-
lenses urged in favor of duty on lum-
Der. The idea that our lumber manu-
facturers would be driven out of bust
ness if not protected from Canadian
competition, when they are defying
Canadian competition not only in all
South American countries and Japan,
but in the British possessions of Aus
tralasi and Africa, and even in Eng
land itself, is obviously absurd. 1t is
possible that Canadian competition
might lower the prices of lumber in
the United States but the fact that
our lumber is exported to Europe, Asia,
Africa, South America and Australia
proves that our lumber men can do a
profitable business even when COM
peting with those of Canada or any
other country. The business of manu-
featuring lumber for export was great
ly stimulated in this country by the
Canadian reciprocity treaty. Free
lumber would do the same thing again.
1t would increase the business of all
the lumber manufacturing concerns in
the country. If it injuriously affected
any class in this country it would only
be the owners of forests, who have al
ready made enormous fortunes and can
afford to have the value of what cost
them very little in most cases reduced.
If the destruction of our forests were
retarded somewhat it would be of in
calculable benefit to the country fifty
years from now"

Our Next Congressman.

The Daily Neaos of last Thursday
contains a long and able and well-writ-
ten communication in commentator
of the services of Hon. H. st. 6. Tuck
err in Congress and in behalf of his re-
election. 1t so well expresses our own
views as to Mr.. Tucker and the duty of
the Democrats of this district that we
give space for the publication of the
following extract from it,
1--WE now have representative who
knows the people of the district and
the needs of the district as no other
man does. who has had large expert
ence, who has most honorable public
record, and who is better able to serve
his people now than ever before, and
if we are wise we will do all in our pow
err to retain him in his present position.
We have no ordinary fight before us,
and when we already have leader in
the prime of his powers and his useful
ness, it would seem folly to seek to
make change at SO critical juno
ture.
1t is time for us all to stand togeth-
er, and to strain every nerve for the
maintenance, to the utmost extent pos
sible, of Democratic principles, on
which, after all, must depend Demo
cratic ascendancy in the councils of the
nation, whatever the difficulties and
dangers lying around and ahead of us.
A we'll known citizen speaking yes
terday of Mr.. Tucker in a general way
remarked that from long personal &C
quaintance with him, in professional
and social intercourse, and service with
him in the performance of public trusts
of difficulty and delicacy, and pretty
close observation of his course in Con-
gress, he would endorse him as the best
available man in the district for the
position he occupies. He went on to
say that he had never known him to
hesitate to sacrifice his personal wishes
or preferences or friendships to con-
viction of his duty, and had seldom
known man more conservative in dis
position, less under the influence of
passions or prejudices or preconceived
ideas, or with higher and truer instincts
upon questions of conduct or duty.
That while kindly and amiable gen
tleman in all the relations of life, of ex-
ceptionally popular and agreeable
manners, he was Independent, fearless
and firm, ready and strong in debate,
quick, observant and intelligent, and
ever watchful of the interests in his
keeping; and above all he was man
of consistent Christian character and
unexceptionable habits, cleanhanded
and clean hearted, and honest to the
core. Can any gainsay it?
Here Is tried and true Democrat, in

should share the fame. Captain Coy
ner performed the deed and fulfilled
the important trust. All three ''pass
ed over the river" in the middle of
that civil strife, gave their lives for
Virginia and what they believed to be
right, and now thirty-two years after
ward the writer finds himself copying
old musty, yellow, though treasured,
letters to the News in answer to the
question, who burned those bridges?''
without prejudice, however. but sim
ply for the sake of the love he bears
for the honored name of that beloved
brother, who gave his life for his coun-
try, who was loved by his soldiers, es-
teemed by his brother officers, honor
ed by the noble Ashby and trusted by
the immortal "Stonewall' jackson.

whose favor the judgment of the Staun-
ton people has been decisively express
ed, and whose nomination seems we'll
assured.
The papers of his city, holding this
faith, can not do less than raise their
voices also in his behalf, that no schem-
ing beforehand and no apathy after
NO 'sulking in our tents"-be permitted
to defeat the will of the Democratic
people of this district, as now sufficient
ly made known, for retaining a repre-
sentative in whose past record and
growing influence they take just pride,
and in whose hands they feel assured
the material, no less than the political
interests of his constituency will al
ways be safe"

Where Strikers Commit Wrong.

In nearly every case in which strikes
are make, the strikers not only refuse
to work themselves, but refuse to al
low others to work who wish to do so.
In this they violate the rights OF
others, and assume an untenable
position. AS the New York Herald
says, to every employee is conceded the
right to work or to quit ork. To
every employer must be conceded the
correlative right to employ or dis
charge laborer. That is the liberty
of each.
But when an employee quits work he
has enjoyed his full liberty and exer-
cised his whole right. If he goes
further and attempts by force, violence,
threats or intimidation to prevent
another from taking his place he de-
mics both to his former employer and
to another workingman the liberty
which he claims for himself. 1t then
becomes the duty of the government
to interfere tor the protection of the
right to liberty which has been vio-
lated.
The right of wage-earners to quit
work in a body-that is, to strike-is
also conceded, but strike is always to
be deplored and always discouraged
1t entails needless losses and suffering
upon both strikers and employers, and
when. as in the present case, it involves
the railway system of the country, its
consequences to the. community
amount to a public calamity. For
such disturbance of travel, transpor-
tation and business there would seem
to be no reason or Justification. Every
strike may and should be avoided by
arbitration, and it is imperative that
this should be done when the public
is so vitality concerned as in the case OF
railway strike.
This amicable method of settling the
issue should yet be resorted to and
without delay. But if the contest is to
be kept up it must be without violence
or lawlessness, without unwarranted
interference with the right of railway
companies to operate their roads, OF
the right of the travelling and ship
ping public to railway accommoda-
tiOns.
