Chr;stnlns Goose,

In England goose is more often the
Christmas bind than turkey. To those
who think of substituting goose for a
turkey the caution is given that the for.
mer, though it may present an ample and
tempting appearance rs it is brought to
the table, crisp and aromatic, will serve
by no means generously, as only the breast
Is available Under the modern treat,
ment of removing the tough leg tGndons,
thus gaining all the drumstick meat, there
is no edible bird to compare in economy
with the turkey.

At Christmas,

Without the frost winged Lreezes blow
Across the wold, above, below,
And the rose in every cheek is stirred
With the downy kiss Of each snow fake bird
Within, the cheerful Yule log fire
Brims with musio's high desire,
Sheds light and cheer below, above.
Bespeaking the warmth of homely love.

Richmond is alive to the necessities Of

what to do when it comes to gathering IN

SEN. PRITCHARD's STATEMENT.
Says Clarkson and Manly Are Trying to
stop the Mckinley Movement.


WASHINGTON, d. c., April 4.-Scnator
pritchard, of North Carolina, has issued
a statement in reply to a letter to Repre-
sentative Settle. Of North Carolina, from
GARRISON and 1Ianley. which has been
made rublic. Senator Pritchard says
the letter ''purports TO be a letter of adj
vice 10 the Republicans OF North Caro-
lima, but In reality is nothing more or
less than a shrewd attempt on the part
of these gentlemen TO take advantage or
what they think are the conditions OF
affairs in our State, with the view or
securing a few delegates from our State
in opposition TO Governor Mckinley. The
whole thing is an attempt on the part or
the anti-McKinley forces 10 check the Nc
Kinlcy movement I'm North Carolina, re-
gardless OF what disaster may result TO
the Republican party in the State. The
opposition OF Messrs. Clarkscn and Manley
To a Joint electoral ticket is their excuse
for this publication ar this time. An
overwhelming majority of the Republi-
cans Of North Carolina are I'm favor of
division bf tho electoral ticket on a,
basis that will give the nominee Of the
Republican party one-balf Of the electoral
vote OF our State.
AT the same time the advocates Of
divisional electoral ticket among the Re
publicans are unalterably opposed 10 an
independent silver electoral ticket. Such
a proposition has never been entertained
by myself or any other Republican In
North Carolina, so far as | know. | en-
phasize this statement in order TO remove
any misrepresentation as 20 the Republi-
can position on this question In North
Carolina. and to say further that my adj
vocacy Of silver has had no such signifi-
canoe.
Il say now what have repeatedly said,
that / advocate the restoration OF silver
inside Of the Republican party and have
never for a moment entertained a thought
of its accomplishment outside Of the Re
publican party"
The senator says precedents exist for
divisional electoral ticket, and anyhow the
matter is one that should properly be
left to the Republican party OF North
Carolina for settlement.
