Election in the neighboring
State of New Hampshire and a

next Tuesday, and the HERALD
wants to say a word to the
voters of Coos County, n. H.
Those who voted the Democratic
ticket in 1892 saw throughout
the country mills and factories
close; banks go under; wages
reduced and thousands of work
men forced into idlcncSs; saw
poverty, distress and alarm
everywhere. We trust they VIII

the PAST Eighteen months have

impressed upon the public mind
that 1t will prove ruinous to

and the happiness and content

Democratic doctrine OF free
trade. Our market is the grand

our mines and lands the richest

The Evils and Perils of Democratic
Rule.

A Democratic President, Sen
ate and House of Representa-
tives were elected two years ago
on a platform demanding gen
eral reform and greater economy
in our public expenditures. The
party has had full swing and in
none of the departments was
there any one to hinder orm make
afraid" What, now, has been
the result? How have the prom
Uses OF economy been observed?
The names of 10000 veteran
soldiers have been stricken from
the pension rolls, most of them
without notice or warning and
quite all of them without being
given an opportunity to main
tain their rights. If this be
economy the Democratic party is
welcome to all the glory it con-
ferS.
But how was it as to general
expenditures? The appropria-
tons of the first session of the
Fifty-hrst Congress, when the
Republicans were in control,
reached the considerable sum of
$4O3, 100000 and of the second
session only few million dollars
less. Every Democratic orator
and newspaper denounced the
"billion dollar Congress-" as
they called it, and predicted ruin
to the country unless the Repub-
lican party were overthrown, as
it soon afterwards was. The
Democrats came into power, and
the first session of the Fifty third
Congress has been held, and III

FrOude and KinUSIey.

1t is recalled in one Of the English
notices of the late Mr.. Froude that in
his address as Lord Rector of the Uni
versity of st. Andrews in 1860 he
made some rather notable allusions to
the insincerity which he thought was
the besetting sin of clergymen of all
denominations. About the same time
bis wife's brother-in-law, Charles
Kingsley, in his farewell address on re-
signing the chair of modern history at
Cambridge, denounced historians for
their partisanship, inaccuracy and
habitual Misrepresentation. The op-
portunity was improved by contem-
porary wit (tradition says it was the
present Bishop of Oxford) in these two
stanZas:
While Froude assures the Scottish youth
That parsons do not care for truth,
The Rev. Canon Kingsley cries,
" All history's pack of liesr'
What cause for judgment so malign?
A little thought may solve the mystery;
For F'roude thinks Kingsley a divine,
And Kingsley goes to Froude for history.
Readers who remember these verses
or have them in their scrap books will
perhaps aardon their repetition for the
benefit of others less fortunate. 1t is
a pity that any one, for no greater
fault than meIe youth, should miss so
good hit.

gifts are exchanged. l don't want to
see the custom abandoned. Who that
sees the child hang up its stocking on
Christmas Eve and go te sleep secure
in the knowledge that Santa Claus will
come down the chimney during the
night and fill that stocking full of good
things can think of suppressing the
dear old white-haired myth?
Now we are all children at Christ
mas time, no matter how far we are
beyond the time when we discovered
the real Santa Claus. Figuratively,
we all hang up our stockings at Christ
mas, and we like to find them filled in
the morning, too.
Now comes the question. What
should Santa Claus put into our stock
ings? The truth is, we don't much
care what it is, so long as it's some
thihg. The child doesn't care,-how
could he? We, the older children,
don't care,-why should we?
The thing is to give always with a |
view to the usefulness of the gift. If |
| want TO give book, consider what |
book will most please him, be most |
useful to him, now and always.
By all means let us make Christmas |
gifts; let us give to everyone. If it's
only scrap of writing, let Santa Claus
be always on hand. But give with
sense, give reasonably. give
because you love to give, give no more
than you can afford. Away, L say,
with the fashionable functions and
which make gifts that sug-

give with the simplicity of Santa Claus
himself, smiling as though giving to
