CHRISTMAS DAY.

On this day. when we commemorate the birth of the Son of Man, whom we wor- ship as the Savior of mankind, it is inter- esting in view of the events which are now agitating out country, to reflect upon the words of Hon.. William Everett of Massachusetts, delivered few days ago al a public meeting near Boston. He said:
 MT. Chairman, we shall in less than a week be celebrating all over this country the birth of the Savior of mankind Jesus was born at a time of profound peace, so grateful to a world that had been racked with war for a century, that men worshipped as God the crafty emperor who achieved it. From 000 churches next Wednesday will be repeated the an gels song: Peace on earth, good will towards men, Do we propose to re- nounce our Christianity and listen not to a Christian angel. but to the demon of a heather Saturnalia, yelling: War on earth, i'll will toward men? There are those who believe Jesus to have been merely a good man and the angels song a visionary legend. If men will believe doctrines so absurdly heathenish let them, but let no man who still holds to his Christian profession dare to enter a house of prayer next Wednesday, or ask his children to dance in glee round tree resplendent with the gifts of Christs Masters religion by seeking national hon. or and the elevation of humanity in the horrors, cruelties, crimes of war.
 "In the name of him, my Lord and Mas ter. the Prince of Peace, call on all who are his votaries to make their voices heard against that which in all ages of the world has proved boundess evil, and which our nation is too mighty. too glorious. too civilized. to sanction for the sake of a fancied good"

A FUTILE EFFORT
To Choke to Death Home Institution Being
 Made-lt Will Not Succeed.

The Southeastern Tariff association has caused the association companies to leave the Birmingham Underwriters agency because it represents the South ern Mutual Fire Insurance company of Alabama. The Southern Mutual does business only in Alabama and proposes to return the profits to the policy holders, and for this reason the tariff association is taking steps to choke it to death. The Birmingham Underwriters agency is prepared to take care of every policy now in the companies leaving it's agency by placing them in other good companies that do not belong to the association. We trust that not a single one of our patrons will desert us in this effort to crush us. If other agencies should so- licit the business in the companies which have left us, we will doubly appreciate it should you elect to tell them that 1t is your decision to let us continue to take care of your business. It is not to be be- lieved that the people of Birmingham and Alabama will allow the Tariff asso- citation to make them party to choke to death an honest effort to build up home institution. The association has precipitated this matter and made it necessary for the people of Birmingham and Alabama to decide whether they will uphold the Tariff association in it's arbi- trary methods by means of which It at tempts to destroy home institutions.

Recent Doings Among the lynx-Eyed Agents
 of the Law.

Jim Watson of Blue Creek is in the county jail on the charge of assault with a weapon. He was brought to the city yesterday by Consta ble J. H. Parsons. It is said that Watson beat R. R. Wash ington severely with a stick several days ago.
 Mike Queenan, alias Mike Quinlan, is en route to Chicago in the custody of an officer from the Windy City. Queenan is known as the stock yards giant and fig ured in local sparring contest at the Wigwam recently. Soon afterwards the Chicago officials, apprsed of his where abouts through the local press reports of the contest, wired Chief Mcdonald to ap- prehend the boxer on the charge of in- timidation in Chicago elections. The case was given to Officer Bodilxer, one of the shrewdest men on the force, and all most before Queenan was aware of what had happened he found himself behind the city bolts, while the wires talked back and forth between Chicago and Birmingham. Queenan refused to return without requisition papers, but the nec- essary documents were obtained yester- day morning in Montgomery and the burly pugilst taken back.
 Some time ago Warden Donovan took occasion to extend an act of kindness to 0 prisoner. It was cake on the waters, for yesterday a bearer left basket for Warden Donovan. When he opened it he found handsome cake and note from his former prisoner. The prisoner was a baker and he exerted himself to show his appreciation. Warden Donovan took the cake home, where 1t made quite an addition to his table fare.
 The entire police force is doing extra work during Christmas This means hard work on the men, but the safety of the city requires it during the holiday excitement

CANADA.

Little Canada is getting her cold back up. The London Times prints a whole page of telegraphic dispatches on the subject of Venezuela. A dispatch from Ottawa says:
 "One result of the war scare will be in the thorough equipment of the Canadian forces. The country will not be satisfied till all are armed with the Lee-Metford rifles. It is gratifying to note that the scare seems to have drawn Canada closer than ever to England. Everywhere the firm determination is proposed to hold by the old flag, come what may"

Just before the Louisiana democratic convention was held the New Orleans States, knowing that the convention would be overwhelmingly pro silver, screamed out as follows:
 Why, then, will the free silverites seek to force their views upon the sound money democrats? The course of the latter Is in consonance with the rule or ruin policy that was first enunciated m hell by satin. when he was yet hot with rage against the Almighty for hurling him and his. rebel followers from the golden battlements of Heaven down into the fiery pit"
 Now, it happened that the convention did not force its views upon any one. and

It is well to recall the controversy be- tween this government and France over the occupation of Mexico by MaXimil- ians army, in which the principle in- volTed was the same as now, though the cause of the dispute was different France insisted that her course was di reeted by no desire to acquire territory by conquest, but by a purpose to redress wrongs. Secderaty Seward insisted on the enforcement of the Monroe doctrine, and with the result that France withdrew her army.

Indian Gentieness to Animals.

In the cause of humanitarianism the
North American Indian should hold
the foremost place. 1t is truly said of
him that the one supreme law Of his
household forbids cruelty to children
and animals. In my residence among
them, during the various degrees Of
their adoption of me as friend, sister
and chief, have never seen blow in
flictCd upon child or an animal
The Indian believes tho animal king
dom to be endowed with reasoning
faculties. TIe has tradition that in
the first creation of animals they were
gifted with the power of speech; that
by some evil necromancy, rather than
by loss of spirit, this faculty was lost,
but that tho endowment of thought and
motive still remains. He also believes
that the animals are endowed with
Immortality, and that by way of COM
pcnsation for suffering in this life the
fur and feather folk will hereafter re-
ceive peace for pain and gentleness for
cruelty.
In the totcmic devices, tabular stones
and Photographic records of his tribal
history. the Indian represents the ami
mails and birds as his cohelpers and COM
panions In his tribal organization, in
his mythology, family relationships,
heraldry, religion, necromancy, secret
societies and national laws he is largely
aided by animal example, counsel and
invention. The creation of the earth he
believes to have been the result Of con-
vention OF waterfowls and amphibious
animals. Chief Ya-ie-wa-noh i'll Our

THE PEOPLES POPULAR CLOTHIERS

when it is known that during FIVE of the
six years last past these same trustees
have had the hearty approval of Mr.. Val
entine in their support of the Superin-
tendent! Why did not Mr.. Valentine
state the fact that his opposition to the
Superintendent dates from the latter's
disagreement with Mr.. Valentines son,
less than year ago.
But the climax of reckless statement is
most likely reached when he says that
Mr.. Davis has eyer been asked to resign.
And even if the Superintendent said
year ago that he would not seek re-elec-
ton we venture the opinion thai he has
kept his word. Certainly when called to
another position last September he sug-
gested to his friends on the board in this
place release from his contract, but
they said ''stay here" Again, is Mr..
Valentine candid when he says the Su-
perinUendent went into this canvass for
trustee? We never heard of his doing
so. Did he ask men to vote? Did he
make the least effort to elect this man
or that man? Are not Mr. Valentines
statements in this matter much like the
stories that carried the election-wide of
the truth?
In this matter, as in others, the BAN
NER stands upon its record as the advo-
cate of honest political methods. In a
dishonorable campaign the criminality
lies with the leaders and not with the
voters at large. When Mr.. Valentine
tries to make it appear that this journal
has criticised the 300 men who voted
with him and Livingston, he misstates
the facts. What we criticise is the scan
dalous and dangerous methods employed
to poison the public mind. We think it
comes with poor grace from Mr.. Valen-
tine, if he questions the right of this pa
per to stand up against dishonorable
methods in a campaign, because he voted
with the little leaders who did the dirty
work. In stating that be has blamed the
Reformer in past years for its indecent
p6ISOudl dJJdChS, UIO Pi"ih PSOP'N wa
note that Mr. Valentines present ap-
proval Of its methods is not due to any
change in the Reformer. 1t is rather an
exhibition of that elastic virtue which
enables some men to condemn concrete
wickedness to-day and avail themselves
of its power to injure their neighbors to-
morrow.
The BANNER speaks here for the good
of the community and the school, and
against these in the smallest degree it
will never support any man nor any set
of men. These ends are not secured,
however, by standing quietly by and al
lowing a vicious few, with unworthy
grievances, to scandalize innocent men
and women before the people, that per-
sonal spite may secure its ends.
In conclusion mark our words: A
thing is never settled until it is settled
right, and in this case, if justice be not
done, the harvest of dragons teeth sown
in this campaign may spring up as venge-
full furies to sting and torture the coin
ers of scandal and their allies, long after
the event disgraced by their work is tor-
