For whom no joy remains.

The sad child life begun
o Godlove, mln-love, feel for Us
In the heart OF Mary's son.

The first Christmas carol, as Milton
and Jeremy Taylor have said, was sung
by tine angels on the plains Of Bethie-
hem. This custon has prevailed in
most Christian c,1ltrics and is per-
petuated in E1slall au1 on the con-
tinent. Cdlabrian Ministries still leave
their mountains during the last days
preceding Christmas for Naples or
Rome, saluting with their wild music
the shrines of the Virgin Mother, to
cheer her until the birth hour of the
infant Jesus, now near at hand. The
first Christmas carols were hymns in
honor of the nativity. They afterward
assumed more secular character,
many of them being songs of revelry
accompanying the festivities of the
season.

The Only Safe Guide.

Atlanta Constitution: Two years ago,
when the country was in the midst OF an
exciting presidential campaign, il any
one had asked what was the Democratic
policy he would have been referred TO
the platform of the party.
The National Democracy formulated
its policy at Chicago and declared for
the free coinage Of silver, state banks
and revenu ue tariff.
During the campaign, our party lead
ers and the leaders Of the Republican
party in their discussions of the Chica-
go platform all agreed in their construc-
tion OF it, They said that it promised
the country financial relief in the shape
of free silver and State banks and tar
if for revenue only.
Two years ago there was only one con-
structIon Of the platform. Everybody
knew what it meant. The Democrats of
every southern State ratified it, and
the Nation overwhelmingly endorsed it
in the general elections of 1892. Since
that time some of the Democrats in Con-
gress, acting with the Republicans, have
repudiated plank after plank Of the
platform, and disappointment, uncer-
tainty and delay have paralyzed the
business of the country.
But the people have remained stead
fast. They stand right whore they stood
when they ratified the platform, and i'll
every Democratic convention that has
been held in the past two years that
same platform has been ratified again
and again.
The National Democracy has held nc
convention since and has adopted nc
new platform. No State Democratic
convention has repudiated the pledges
made at Chicago. On the contrary
whenever convention has been held
those pledges have been ratified.
When Democratic Con gresham re-
pudiates either the financial relief or
the revenue tariff plank, or both, where
does he get his authority? Not from
the National Democracy, and not from
his constituents. II he can repudiatt
one or two planks in the platform he
can repudiate all OF them. What vii
be the end OF it? We cannot expect the
party to drift along with nothing to
guide it. Why not get back in the righ
path and stand squarely on the platform
which wo the Democratic victory il
1892? This is the way the people talk
and these are ques tions they are asking
II there is no platform any longer-if i
is only myth-then there will soon b,
no party. Let us get together and keel
our pledges. That is our only salvation
The old Abe eagle. (White Oaks, Lincoln County, N.M.) 189?-189?, 1894-08-02

WE'VE got to do it sooner or
later, and might as well 'fess up
now to being an old fogy and a
back number. We realize this
truth keenly in the fact that we
cannot evolve the conclusion from
experience or observation that the
country is gone to hell, or that the
present is worse than former times,
except us our actions aggravate
the effects of a depression begin
ming in natural cause. We don't
believe all the honest men are
dead, and died childless, nor that
n man of capital is a brute be-
cause he has to be constantly
on the alert to defend his invested
thousands against the warfare
OF irresponsible mischief makers
with nothing to lose. We do be-
lieve that the American Govern
ment is yet the best on earth, and
that the Federal constitution is
ample for every purpose of govern
ment and does not need to be re-
vised or done away with. We do
believe that the slow recovery from
the depression now upon the coun-
try is largely chargeable to the
agitation, threats and anarchistic
counsels of political deadbeats in
influential places, and the efforts
of everybody who can reach the
ear or eye of the public from the
stump or through the presst TO aug
mont the prevailing discontentanC
keep the suicidal strife on where
peace is the condition ncedful
We believe that peaceful remedies
applied in peaceful ways by men
in their sober senses will accom-
plish fa better and more lastinl
results than brute-forco methods
These views are not at premium
in the street corner and crossroad
markets of today, but neither ar
the teachings of the Son of Man
whom, however, some people ar
still old fogyish enough 10 regor'

jects, Notwithstanding the NOR

TERRITORIAL DRIFT.

Roswell Record; We have no personal
interest in their affairs, but we feel a
deep and absorbing interest in the cause
of Democracy in all parts Of the United
States in general and New Mexico in
particular; and we therefore suggest to
our Democratic friends in Lincoln
county the necessity for putting their
best men forward as candidates for va
rious county Offices. The Republicans
in that county are united and on the
alert. Then there is that unknown
quantity, the pops, in that county, which
will join with anybody or anything to de-
feat the dominant party.
Cerillos Rustler: Mr.. j. w, Slawson
of Scotland has an option on one mill

and Rio Arriba counties, and will buy
the same from the several grant compa
MES interested, conditioned upon New
Mexico becoming State. He will built
reservoirs and store water sufficient To-
irrigation and sell the land to settlers
This is a speculation which will pay the
investor and be great benfit to New

Iris sincerely to be hoped that
the Democrats of Lincoln county
in their convention next week will
vigorously apply the principle Of
the fittest in the nominations fol
county offices. Men should be
placed on the ticket against whom
nothing can be truthfully urged
and for whom any man may vote,
whatever his politics, without do
ing violence to his conscience
The EAGLE hardly believes this
caution necessary, but nevertheless
ventures to give it If it is fol
lowed there seems no reason to
dotb that Democrats will do the
work for the county in all its
department for the next term.
