Claus gifts. There is perhaps
no myth so pleasant in the
hearts of the youngsters as
this one about the old fellow,
the reindeers and the chimney
and nothing in the life of the
parent which justihes the little
deceit as much as this. For
this climate, however, the
illustrations and the text of the
legend should be changed; no
kid, however backward he
may be, can be persuaded
that on the 24th of December
an old patriarch goes about
dressed in fur lined garments
and snow shoes. The climate
won't stand it and we can't
understand why the children
do. Why not have some one
of our enterprising book deal
ers get up something appro-
pirate for the mid-Pacifc
Christmas. There's talent
enough in town to make de-
signs for the illustrations and
plenty of poets to put the
thing in rhyme. 1t would be
a new departure from the con-
ventional fur robed old
chap, and should be a

People from the States would
buy it to show the tots at home

Santa Claus is, in the Paradise
of the Pacific.

articles for children, but

middle aged and the old. We
have some special bargains in
the house keeping line and
can supply you with as fine
and serviceable an ice chest as
can be made. We don't wish
to imply that they are as at
tractive in appearance as if
they were patched up with
mirrors and geegaws, but
they are more serviceable.
They are built on an ice saw

like a charm.

MP urRpHYS TEMPERANCE WORK.

Middletown Conn, March 10 tSpeciaD.-Thomas
T. Murphy the temperance orator, who has been
having such remarkable success in his campaign In
this State. finished this week his second round OF
meetings In Middletown. He did not secure nearly
as many signers TO his total abstinence pledge az
he did during his first stay here. last spring. but
that has been accounted for by the statement that
during his first visit he gathered in about all who
were to be reached by his methods. His last work
here has consisted argely In counselling and
STRENGTHENING those who had already put on the
blue ribbon. But the meetings were none the less
ponular and the large Middlesex Opera House
was crowded every night. The leading people OF
the city took active part in the meetings Presi-
dent RAYMOND and other members OF the Wesleyan
University Faculty were among those most ear

the convention had not been called to-

Engineering science, experience in
other States and countries. have settled
just what classes of roads are good roads.
To spend days now in a promiscuous
convention in debates between men most

It is with all due respect to the dele
gates that we say as much, and without
any intention whatever to give offense.
What we mean to say is that the eonyen-

means, and that it should leave TO coun-
ties and road engineering science all mat
ters relating to construction and most
questions as to what constitutes good

JUST AT THIS SEASON.
The Most Attractive and the Most De-
ceitfnI of All the Year.

Inc MOSL ATTRACTIVE anu UuS slUsb DsS-
ceitfuI of All the Year.
This is the most dangerous season OF the
year. 1t may be pleasant, may often seem at
tractive, but back of all the pleasant atmos-
phere there is danger. This danger comes IN
some form of sickness.
Almost any sickness starts with q cold or a
chill caused by the sluggish action of the sys-
tenn. That is why SO many people just now
complain of tired feelings, pains III the muscles
and bones, loss Of appetite, spring fever ana
similar troubles
The following is good advice from proml-
nent medical journal: "Pneumonia and other
dangerous complaints. which result from o
neglected cold. can always be avoided If
timely remedy is taken. When chilly sensa-
tions are felt they should be stopped 1mlne-
diately or serious consequences Will folioW
There is only one way known TO the world OF
avoiding q cold or chills, and that is 10 use a.
good, pure, strong stimulant. Nothing ordi-
nary will do. 1t must be something sure IN
its action and scientifically prepared. For
this reason nothing has ever equalled Duny $
Pure Malt Whisky, which is acknowledged
to-day by physicians and scientifc men 10 be
the only pure medical whisky in the market" :"
This valuable advice may be prontably foi-
lowed by many people who are suffering to-
day from the early effects of cold, chIlls, or
POSSIBLY grip in its advanced stages. Dutiy's
People should not, however, permit any dealer
TO substitute something which Is claimed TO
be s.iust as good. or s'about the same thing.
Nothing else can possibly conn e Win that
which has proven itself by years OF use to be
the best and purest In the world.

LABOR NOT ANARcHIsTIC.

The RECoRD-UNIoN has held constantly
that the real workingman, the man who
has trade. or is skilled in labor: who
feels an interest in society. and wishes to
preserve the opportunity enlightment
gives for any one to better his condition;
who realizes what ii is to be free man, is
not and never will be anarchistic. He
and his fellow-workmen constitute the
very large majority OF toilets. and they
are moi going toibe led to paternalism nor
be driven into it.
The few who embrace radical socialism,
who fraternize with anarchists. who
shout at revolutionary meetings and ap-
plaud threats of lawlessness, are over
estimated as to numbers and influence.
By their roaring they make it seem that
they are a multitude, and by their pre-
sumption and effrontery lead some to be-
lieve that they are commissioned to voice
the sentiment of labor.
Thus far in all the attempts to stir the
lsboring classes TO acts OF violence against
orderly government with a view of over
throwing it, and substituting the theories
of Missionaries and communistic idealists,
have failed; the true worth, bone and
sinew, the Drawn and brain of the labor
ranks have not taken part to an extent
that is sufficient to commit the wage
earners to the cause of violence. disorder
and rebellion.
In most strikes in this country the
leaders in violence have had the follow
ing only OF low foreigners who have no
regard for American institutions, and no
higher conception of liberty than abso-
lutte license to give rein to their british
will There have been some exceptions
in which some of the better class of
workers have been led off into acts of
lawlessness, but these exceptions only
prove the rule.
In London. on Sunday, the laboring
men of the great capital, at the Mayday
meetings, not only refused to hear an
archistic and revolutionary speakers, but
when they attempted to voice their in
hamatory sentiments the workmen fell
upon them, and but for the interference
of the police would have done them seri-
GUS harm. This repeatedly occurred, and
so London was treated to the spectacle OF
anarchists seeking the protection of the
officers of the law they had just de-
nounced, and taking shelter behind the
very police they had been urging the
people TO stab, cut and destroy. Was
there ever sterLer rebuke given to the
doctrine of the theorist5?
1t will be precisely the same in this
country. When the radical socialists and
anarchists, apparently now in antag-
onism but both seeking to overthrow the
laws and set up new, untried and fanci-
full schemes, come to the front with their
open propositions and advice to carry
them into effect, the real labor element of
the country will be found to be their Bit
terest opponent. 1t is not ready, nor
will it be, to sacrifice the privileges, lib
critics and immunities secured to men
under this free Government, to the va
garies and fancies of idealists and the
brutal methods of dynamite advocates
and the apostles of violence.

IF the reports from Nicaragua are true
relative to the trespasses by the Nicara-
guam officials upon American rights and
property at Bluefields, it will be necessary
to extend the strong arm and take the
Nicaraguans to task with so sharp turn
as to inspire respect for the United States
Government. which evidently the petty
State of Central America does not now
entertain.
