Christmas Exercises at Asbury Church.
Delayed from last week.
The members of Asbury Sunday school
are rejoicing over the success and good time
they enjoyed on Christmas nisht. The tree
was heavily loaded with valuable presents.
Every teacher presented each scholar with
gifts consisting mostly Of books. All of the
officers and teachers were remembered with
beautiful gifts by the school. The program
rendered consisted of thirty-two pieces and
recitations, solos and duets were mastery
handled showing that great care had been
taken in selecting for the occasion. After
the program had been rendered, the lights
went out which caused the audience to feel
that something had happened at the electric
plant. This gave Santa Claus time to gain
admission through window and his first
appearance was tableau long to be remem-
bered by the little ones. 1t would be
difficult to estimate the number present as
the church was packed and several OF the
scholars had to be taken in through the
window. The pastor and wife were moi
forgotten, each receiving tokens of respect
from the school. The Asbury school Is one
of the most prosperous schools in the city
and with the aid of their new pastor and
wife, 1t is bound to succeed. Ia.

The Arkansas election was held Mon
day and from first report it appears thai
the Democrats were successful in nearly
everything. There were only two com
plete tickets in the field-POpulist and
Democrat. The Republicans made
weok pretensions :of endorsing the
Populist ticket, but it appears from ev-
idence since the election this was only
done to weaken the reform cause. The
St. Louis, Republic, not likely to
give information favorable to the Popu-
lists, admits that in nearly every in
stance the Republicans voted with the
Democrats to down the new party. So
anxious were they in this respect that
they allOlled several safe strong holds
Of Republicanism to go Democratic.
The Arkansas election is but q repcti-
ton of elections held in other states
one old party helping the other
out. This is done for effect, 50 as to
drive the Populists out of the field and
then each old party can win every al
ternate time, and the interests of the
trusts looked after. This endorsement
of Democrats or Republicans to Popu-
list tickets must only be looked at with
disfavor by true political reformers and
discouraged wherever possible. Nine
times out of ten fusion results to dis.
advantage of the new party and must
not be listened to hereafter.

The daily Republican press are rsis'
ing the criminal cry that lowing to the
new tariff bill, the manufacturers of the
east have given notice that they will
have to reduce wages" That is one
of the most henious crimes ever
committed, because it is the means TAX
en- to not only rob the men OF their
wages, but to enslave them politically
as well. If the new tariff bill really ef-
fected the manufacturers in that man.
uer. it would be no more than justice to
reduce wages. but such is not the case.
The protection is there all the same;
in some articles it is lowered and on
some raised, In most cases where the
tax is lowered, the protection still am
cunts to more than the article sells for
in thiscOuntry. On those articles the
protection is prOhibitary, just the same
as under robber Mckinley law. Sc
there is no reason for reducing wages
on account of the tariff bill. The CRY
is raised so that the manufacturer:
may enjoy more of the fruits OF Other
mems labOr's, TO take more EurOp
can trips, or live in a more lavish man
ner. At the same time have the effec,
of soaring the laborers to vote the Re
publican ticket, anc thus perpetuate OF
continue the stealings that has been 60
ing on in this country for the pas,
twenty-five or thirty years. The scheme
is q masterpiece from the fertile brair
of the devil, and anyone who lends i,
aid is but an imp of the evil one,
