POLITICAL FREEDOM.

In the United States senate, March a. 1857,
in reply to the attack made by Senator HILL of
Georgia, on Senator Malone, of Virginia, be-
cause Malone had cleft the Democratic party"
United States Senator John A. Logan said:
81 was Democrat once, too, and | had 4
right to change my opinions, and | did change
them. The man who will not change his
opinions when he is honestly convinced that
he was in error is a man who is not entitled to
the respect of men, and then, turning to SEN
ator Hill, he added eff a man happens to
differ with you, the tyranny of political opin-
in your section of the country is such that you
undertake to lash him upon the world and try
to expose him to the gaze of the public as a
man unfaithful to his trust. We have no such
tyranny of opinion in the country where live;
and it will be better for your section when such
notions are driven to the shades and retired
from the action of your people
Yet, in the face of these brave words, a Kan
sas REPUBLICAN Legislature changed the name
of St. John county to Logan, for the sole rea-
son that Ex-Governor St. John had cleft the
party"

CHRISTMAS FUND FOR THE NEEDY

Mayor Wagstaf and Councilman Lane are
responsible for originating plan whereby
many needy people of this city were enabled
to enjoy good Christmas dinner and then
have goodly supply of provisions left for the
future The day before Christmas found
store room we'll stocked with -four, meat, gro
ceres, etc., and the mayor personally superin-
teuded and distributed the articles among the
needy. During the afternoon there were dis
tributed Flour, 900 pounds; meal, FL sacks;
buckwheat -four, sacks; potatoes, go bushels;
apples, IS bushels; fruit, 80 cans; besides,
liberal supply of meats, salt and fresh, jellies,
and clothing. The mayor says that in his
rounds he saw sights that astonshed him.
Some expressed their gratitude in tears and
some shouted for joy. Could all who contrib
uted their mite have been present, they would
have truly realized that sit is more blessed to
give than receive" We desire to commend
the instigators and all who were interested in
the movement for this true Christian acr and
we implore them to aid in making conditions
40 much better that, in the future, it will not
be necessary to resort to such means OF relief.
The executive committee desires to thank
those members of the distributing committee
who did their duty so faithfully.

THE DEACON'S WHETE TURKEY.

"That's no excuse for them stealin'."

But they've fooled themselves this time. They ii
not get another thing out of this old dufer.
Oh, no"
The deacon's harangue was cut short by a
loud knock at the kitchen door. Mrs. Patten
went to the door and opened it.
''Morning deacon" said CHEEKY voice from
outside: "The folks going out to dinner
tomorrow, and I thought I'd come if |,
could borrow your sled to haul down Widow
David's things tonight. The women folks
have pile fixed for her."
"No," prowled the deacon, starting toward
the door, "you can't have anything of mine to
help folks that amt honest"
'Don't say word about it, father" suppl
Gated Mrs atten, but the deacon brushed her
and closed the door behind him as he vert out.
A short time after, the man left the yard fol-
lowing his team on foot, and Mrs. Patten knew
the deacon had not shielded his neighbor.
Mrs. David and her three children, the old
est boy of fifteen, had lived for three years i'll
the little black house beyond the Pattens. 1t
had been an abandoned house for years, but the
willing hands and the generosity of the neigh
bors made it it for habitation, and continu-
ance of the SINE generosity, together with the
work she obtained, enabled the widow to exc
out a living and keep her household together.
But the heavy snow storms had shut off their
neighbors and their offerings had been laid
aside to swell the donation they were accuston-
to make on Christmas. Mrs. Patten thought
of her own part OF that donation. There were
the WOODEN stockings and mittens she had knit
ted for the children, warm dress of her own
she had fashioned over for Mrs. David, shawl
she had added to the pile by little sacrifice.

MY BEST XMAS GIFT.

We copy the following letter from the New
York Voice:
Editor of The Voice | send you a leaf from
my heart history, as a Christmas present for
The Voice. Christmas morning, 1860, was my
twentv-second birthday. The snow had been
falling all night, and from our cottage window
we could see the whitened earth glistening in
the sunshine. A glorious morning.
In my heart was the brightness and glory of
the first Christmas morning which came to man
For, by my side, OIL downy pillow, in softest
raiment, with frils of whitest lace, lay my
blue-eyed baby boy, my Christmas present to
my dear husband.
Then, when the summer was fullest, on
Bonded knees, we watched the blue eyes close
forever and the wilderness of that Christmas
morning CAME over the little face, while link
was forged between our hearts and heaven

A FINANCIAL RAID UPON US.

England has no idea of coming to blows
with the United States. On the contrary, she
proposes to avoid the possibility of war by de-
stroying our national credit. In sustaining
the financial honor of the nation, there should
be as little partsanship as there was in up
holding the president in the Venezuelan con-
troversy; for, where humanity or the life of
the nation is invaded, all treaties are at an
end. If England wages war OH humanity, the
United States should declare all industrial war
on England. ]. B.
THE AGITAToR wishes its readers, one and
all, a Happy New Year.

FEED MY LAMBS.
BY A. p. CORNWALL.

Happy mothers with your children,
Gathered safe i'll guarded homes,
Where no want or care can reach them,
Where no faint of evil comes
When to rythm of cradle-rockinq,
Run your tender twilight songs;
And around your chairs are clustered,
All your cherished household throngs;
Tapped in warmth and peace and plenty
With companionship SO sweet;
Do you think upon the children
Wandering homeless in the street
Little children, unprotected,
Filled with loneliness and fear,
With no loving arms to fold them,
And no kindly voice to cheer.
Thrust aside in haste or anger,
Faint with hunger, pierced with cold,
Foully cheated of their birthright,
Trampled in the race for gold :?
Have they fathers Yes, it may be
Fathers who are helpless too,
Gaunt and hungry, seeking vainly
For some hon. st work to do.
And 1t may be, they have fathers,
STEPPED in crime, or crazed with rum.
And the children shrink and cover,
When with Keeling steps they come.
Mothers ? Yes, and so strong hearted,
Daily martyred, yet they live,
Live to hear their starving children
Plead for food they cannot give
And, it may be, they have mothers
Driven by anguish into shame
With their hears turned stone within them,
Mothers only in the name.
"Peter, Peter, dost thou love me?
Feed my lambs, the shepherd said.
Men have turned the gain to poison
And the children cry for bread.
Christians ride in gilded coaches,
Pray in churches broad and high,
Live in luxury and splendor,
In the streets the children cry.
God counts every baby's teardrop,
Numbers every fathers prayer,
Knows the heart of every mother,
Sounds the depths of her despair.
Not by prayer, nor by profession,
But the deed we might have done,
When he maketh up his jewels
He will Judge us, every one.

WAR.

There is a speck of war on the national no.
rison. We don't want war; we don't need
war; and, should the awful calamity break up
on us, the lingo patriots now instated in edit
DIAL offices, and who, by their unwise and mex
cusable utterances, are firing the hearts of the
people, would be the last ones to enlist.
Arbitration, and not war, should be the de-
Imand of the hour.
Thirty years ago, more momentous subject
confronted us, and the Geneva Arbitration am
icably adjusted that.
At the risk of being called sorehead and
traitor, we lift our voice against war War; i'll
its mildest form, is hell. We speak whereof
we know The writer spent nearly four years
in the tented field, thirty years ago, and we
use mild language when we say war is hell.
Not one in dozen editors bowling for war ever
heard hostile shot or listened to the CANNOT
of the minnie or the shrek of the shell.
War in the evening of the nineteenth CEN
fury is a blot upon any civilized and enlight-
ened nation Exploit patriotism until you are
bald-headed. 1t does not justify a resort to
arms so long as there is the ghost of an oppor-
tunity to settle differences otherwise.
National bonds can no longer be issued accord
ing to law War would be hailed with delight
by the money-changers for then there would
be an excuse for the tribute eXacting power to
give the screw another turn. The gold reserve
would be lost sight of, and Grover Cleveland
would have all army of iieutenants assisting
him in gathering enforced tribute from the
people. 1t would be a rich mans war, which
poor men would be forced to fight. The rich
would keep away from the army. The rich
mans money, as in all other wars, would be
put in the scales with the poor mans blood,
and the money would win. If the rich of both
England and America were compelled to fight
a war to the finish, they would cry for peace
until it would echo and re-echo around the
world They want war for the money they
could make out of it.
MRS. MARY f. LEASE will deliver lecture
