MERRY CHRISTMAS.

The old, old tidings Of peace
on earth and good will to men"
that have rung out through the
centuries comes home TO the peo-
pie of this country with beautiful,
and we might say practical, sig
niicance in this year OF our Lord
1896. Favored with abundant
crops that have brought good re-
turns, Hawaii is now closing year
Of peace and prosperity which has
never before been equalled. Al
though it Is urged that full pocket
books and plenty of the necessities
of life are barriers against turmoil
and discOrd. we have not of a ne
cessity to study into the why's and
wherefores, but rather to JOIN IN
the full pleasure of the season, Civ
ing to the omnipotent power and
practical, broad minded men the
glory for having guided the nation
into the quiet and happy paths OF
sound moral and political progress.
At no time during the year past
has the hydra-head of political dis
cord shown itself within our Dor
ders, and in our relations with
other nations the scepter OF har-
meny has ever ruled over our des-
TIMES. su-
With political lines less sharply
drawn, with the best of feeling eX-
listing in social and business circles,
with no national calamities to mar
this years page of history, with
steadily growing confidence in our
national institutions, our people
have had time to look about them,
to lend a helping and encouraging
hand to the less fortunate. The
spirit of philanthropy has awaken
eel to new life, and many homes are
today happier and better for the
timely assistance that has come to
them through public and unknown
private channels. Though it Is pos
sible that the good things, the lux
uries and the 'dainties of life, have
not always been equally distributed
that Will never be till the mil
Ienium dawns-there are very few
if any in this land of ours who
have not received a portion OF the
bounty, though it may seem ever
so small. At all events there Is no
reason for listening to the whisper
ings of jealousy, or bemoaning So
cial ills or discrepancies. 1t Is a
season when only the bright spots
of the past should be brought to
mind, the possibilities of the future
forgotten for a time in the good
checrof the present. Let the dead
past bury its dead, if this is a ne
cessitv of happiness: let the future
take care of itself for one day at
least; let the world wag as it will;
let the people of this land join in
making the opening day of the
holiday season a brigh1and merry
Christina. -. 80

1t appears that England, like
the United States. Is having trouble
in keeping up its supply Of British
seamen. According to Brassey's
Naval Animal. the British merch-
ant fleet Is manned with a total of
235,OOO. Only $4,000 of these are
Of British birth. The rest are Nor
wegians, Swedes, Danes, Germans,
Russians, Firms and Orientals. The
captains, asked to substitute Brit
ons for all these foreigners, declare
that English seamen are not only
unreliable and given TO drink, but
also eternal grumblers. Unlike the
Continental nations, England does
not seem able to supply a large
number of adventurous boys and
Youths to the marine interests of
the country. Englishmen of the
middle and upper classes complain
that the advantages Of a seafaring
life do not weigh up against its
hardships. The natural Inference
TO draw from this is that the An
gIo-Saxon is getting too fastidious
for his own good.

Made

Cures, not once or twice or a hundred
times, but in thousands and thousands
OF cases. We know it cures, absolutely,
permanently cures, when all others fail to
do any good whatever.
Hoods Sarsa l,arilla is known to possess
merit or the power to cure disease; it is
known to ethe best building-up medicine
on earth; it is known to be honestly adver-
tised, and for these reasons the people
buy and take Hoods SarsapariIla almost
to the exclusion of other preparations.
In fact, Merit Made and Merit Maintains
the confidence of the people in

which is today more deeply i'm
pressed upon the citizens of the
United States than it was three
years ago. In looking forward to
the future the employers of labor
in this country cannot ponder
too seriously upon this sentiment
among Americans.

Merit

Made and Merit Maintains the confidence
OF the people in Hoods Sarsaparilla. If a
medicine cures you when you are sick if
it cures your neighbors and your friends
when they are ailing; if it makes wonder
full cures of many diseases everywhere,
then beyond any question that medicine
possesses merit. That is just the truth
about Hoods SarsapariIla. Prepared by
accumulation, proportion and process I'M
known to other medicines, it has curative
powers peculiar to itself. We know it
possesses great merit because it has

In an article on why the Confeder-
acy Failed" contributed to the Noyem-
Der Century by the son of a COnfeder-
ate officer, the first cause is laid to the
excessive issue of paper money. He
says: The Government acted upon
the theory that all it had to Go to raise
money was to print it. They did not
seem to realize that, being the largest
purchaser in the market, it was neces-
sary for the Government to keep down
prices as much os possible; that every
issue of bills must inevitably raise
prices and render a new issue neces-
sary; that every rise in prices must be
followed by a new issue, until the bub-
BILE must collapse of its own expansion
and redundancy"

Bishop Creighton, the newly appoint
ed Bishop of London, is man of mark.
In 1884 he became professor Of eccle-
siastical history in Cambridge. In
1886 he was present at the 25Oth ami
versary celebration of Harvard Univer-
sity. and received from that institution
the degree of LID. He is the author
of several historical works, and is one
of the hardest working Bishops on the
bench. He will probably be an Arch
bishop before long, for the diocease of
London. says the New York Tribune,
is likely to be made an archiepiscOpaI
see: and, aside from that, he will al
most certainly be the successor of DR.
Temple in the Primary.

The Victor Safe and Lock Co., Gin, O.,
Gentlemen am pleased to say the
Victor Safe you sold me some five or
six years ago, preserved intact all of
it's contents in the late fire in Green
vile, on the 10th inst. The safe stood
at a point in my office in the Opera
House Block, that must have been one
of the hottest parts in the great con-
flagration. 1t contained papers and
other things of value. When it was
taken out of the ruins and opened
some twelve hours after the fire, every
thing in it was found to be safely
preserved and in good condition. 1
cheerfully make this statement of
facts in recognition of the valuable
service rendered me by your safe, and
you are at liberty to make such use of
it as you may see proper.
Yours truly,
THOS T. JARVIS

cool, for if your vaIuables
