CHRISTMAS AND TaF POOR.

The crowded streets, the gaily-decked shop
windows filed with articles alluring to young
and old, the myriads Of lights, the cries Of
the street vendors, ali are the sign and signal
of the Christmas season. Happy faces ore
meets everywhere; yet now and then the eye
is startled by pictures Of woe and distress. II
is OF these, too, that the JOYOUS season should
remind us.
There is many a home in Washington to-day
where Christmas cheer will not enter. where
even comfort is a stranger, where dire want
and grim poverty are the unwelcome guests.
In many such sickness adds its burden, and
the wretched tenants know not what it means
to have one moment of ease. Unfortunates
like these, to be remembered always, ought
10 be specially looked after at this time.
Whatsoever you do unto the least of these,
even that you do unto Me- is an admonition
to be needed especially at this time when the
birth Of Him is commemorated who made this
the most joyous season of the year.
Let him who has give OF his abundance
If he have much, let him give much; if he
have but little, let him devote even of that
little portion 10 make some heart glad and
bring it in tune with the spirit of charity and
benevolence that rules the hour. God help
that man or that woman that cannot find
some act to do whereby for a brief moment
sorrow may be lifted from the heart of fell
low being and tear changed into SMILE
Give to the poor, Tighten their burdens,
and the joys Of Christmas that you bring to
them viii reflect themselves, multiplied
thousandlold, in your own heart.

THE CHANGE OF FRONT.

The change of front of the Banking and
Currency Committee plainly indicates that
such statesmen as Secretary Carlisle and Rep
resentative Springer care little for previously
expressed opinions or for individual convic-
tions on important public questions. The
currency bill, in any form these gentlemen
can amend it, will be defeated in the House.
The TACT that it provides no immediate relief
for the drain on our gold reserve is a good
argument against it and there are other i'm
portant reasons why it should be laid on the
shelf along with others immature and equally
unwise financial schemes.
The proposition to extend the power of
national banks and supply them with cur
rency at 30 cents on the dollar does not meet
the approval OF many Democrats. and the re-
peal OF the State bank tax without providing
proper safeguards against the issuance of
wildcat currency is opposed almost solidly by
the Republican side of the House. Another
cause for Republican opposition IS the repeal
of that part OF the national banking act that
requires the maintenance OF q reserve to pro-
tect bank depositors.
ne drSuneut laue III laVOr Oh the CdrllSle
bill that in times of financial depression
hanks can issue emergency notes TO relieve
the stress falls fiat in the face of existing
conditions. To-day money can be borrowed
in New York city on call loans for i per cent
interest, and on time loans for per cent.
interest. If in these hard times when nearly
all people are complaining of the scarcity of
money it can be borrowed at such low rates
of interest, what is the need of issuing
emergency notes?
There is plenty of money in the country if
a way could be found TO make it circulate.
AT present most of it lies locked up in banks
and other places Of deposit, there to remain
until arevival OF trade puts it in circulation.
Start up our mills and factories on full time,
give working people remunerative employ
ment, create demand for our products, and
there will be no scarcity of money. Our mon
etary system needs remodeling, but not on
the Carlisle plan.

AS TO PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS.

II would be good policy for the labor or
Eanizations OF this city TO discuss all propo-
sitions for public Improvements, so as to act
unitedly either for or agains: such as may
come before Congress for consideration.
Take for example the proposed elevation of
railroad tracks. the establishment of free
public library the extension CT our sewer
system, and the construction OF a memorial
bridge across the Potomac. All these con-
templated improvements call for the expend-
iture Of public money, and for that reason
demand the careful scrutiny Of taxpayers. OF
whom wage earners constitute a fair ma
iority
Public improvements, when properly
made, shed their fayors like sunshine.
Money judiciously expended for the
betterment of a community generally
benefits wage-earners more than any
other class of citizens. OF course this is
not true Of public improvements made to ad-
vance the value of private property,-or when
contracts are let to steal public funds But,
generally speaking, the money put in circuia-
tion, the wages earned and the increase of
value OF property more than compensate for
the taxes paid On workingmen's homes
growing city like Washington cannot get
along without public improvements, and the
question to be considered are their necessity
and the honest expenditure of the peoples
money. Labor organizations are as well
equipped to decide these questions as any
other body Of men. If the Improvements are
approved they should be advocated and sup
ported in an earnest, hearty manner. If con-
demned, every effort should be made TO defeat
them. always bearing in mind the fact that
no Improvement should be opposed that is
needed and brings employment and bread
and butter TO idle working people.

No Christian Can Raise Ho ps.

Preachers and people in parts of the North
western states are at outs, and one side or
other must give way before matters are
smoothed out. Hop raising is one of the
principal industries of the districts affected.
and several of the religious bodies have lately
condemned in conference the raising of hops,
barley, and other cereals for brewing or dis
tilling purposes as ian alliance with the sa-
loon and Satan in his work of ruin and dam
nation" and they have declared that no
Christian should be connected with the busi-
ness. 1t would mean agricultural revolution.
and probably financial ruin to the hop and
barley districts for the farmers to become good
Christians, according to the standard of the
Baptists and other evangelical bodies,

TROUBLES OF A CONSUL.
Hon. James Du BoIs was One and Relate
Some of Them

Hon. James Du Bois was One and Relates
Some of Them.
AT the first Presbyterian Church last eve
ming, Hon. james Du Bois delivered very
interesting lecture on the duties and expert
ences OF United States consuls Mr.. Du Bois
was consul at AK La Chapele ami later at
Leipsic. He told OF the difficulties OF both
himself and others in the consular service
with the German police
He had much trouble with the German po-
lice, he said, not on his own account but on
account OF Americans. who think they know
1t all. A citizen of America-a resident of
st. Louis, Mo-, who had just been married
and was travelling through Germany with his
young bride was angered in railroad car
rage by the conductor, and said in German
what he thought meant ''all Germans are
tramps, but which did mean .'aIl Germans
are thieves and raseals." The insulting of a
uniformed officer of the government is Insult
ing the Emperor. and this was serious Of
tense. The man was arrested and separated
from his wife, AS consul. Mr.. Du Bois went
to the police station and after soma trouble
secured the temporary release of the man
The man then joined his wife at the hotel
where she had been taken. The next day he
was tried, convicted and sentenced to SIX
weeks In prison or TO pay u flne of 1000
marks. The consul appealed, and at the trial
before the highest court the man was fined
400 marks, which he paid Mr.. Du Bois
warned all who may contem plate travelling in
foreign country to be careful what they
say.
German justice does not always deal so
hard with foreigners. doctor overcharged
an American lady, and as she did not pay the
full amount of his bill, took her ticket as she
was leaving the city. He was tried, con-
victed, and sentenced to pay a large fne
When German justice and the German people
were through with that doctor, Mr.. Du Bois
said, there was not enough left to fill pre-
scripton.
The speaker also told OF his experience
with various characters from one of New
York's -Four Hundred to the Irish tramp.

wild Animal Pest in Texas.

Sheep and cattle ranchers IN southwest
Texas are asking the State TO help them ex-
terminate or keep down the wild animals
that are playing havoc with stock in the re-
gion. So far from the advent of settlers
thinning out the panthers, wolves, and
coyotes, the animals are increasing greatly in
numbers through the plenty of food afforded
by the vast heards of cattle and sheep. The
ranchers have spent thousands OF dollars in
trying TO ahate the pest, but without avail,
and now they want the State to take a hand.
