Record the fact that Christmas in the year 1895 was remarkable from the fact that the mercury stood at 40 degrees above zero in the morning. not a flake of snow on the ground, no ice in the rivers, no frost in the highways. and that bicycles were fitting about the town same as in July. Furthermore that notwithstanding it was the accept ed anniversary of the heavenly proclams- tion or message, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men" the recent message of President Cleveland to congress upon the Venezuela question produced war clouds which hung over the United States and Great Britain simular to the atmospheric clouds which obscured the sun in Canaan all day yesterday; never theless we recognize the fact that "be- hind the clouds the sun is still shining" and we believe that behind the was clouds the common sense of Americans and Englishmen is still shining and will soon dispell the clouds.
