The foul assassination Of Maceo, the
brave Cuban leader, after being enticed
into the power OF the Spanisrds under
the protection of flag Of truce, is Z
murderous outrage which will arouse the
world to the inhumsnity OF Spain, and
her unfitness to dominate Cuba. II the
United States Government does not take
decided action in behalf of the Cubans,
there are thousands Of her citizens who
will find some way to help the Cuben
cause. There can be no doubt that an
army of intrepid American volunteers
could be raised In days time, sufiicient
to crush weyler and all his forces. II
such step were permissible under the
laws of Nations.

CHRISTMAS

pulses OF both the old and
the young.
Observed and celebrated
since that day so exquisite
ly described in this beauti.
ful language, it is a day OF
happy memories :-"There
were shepherds keeping
watch over their 1ocks by
night, when 10, the angel
OF the Lord shown round
about them.
On this day was pro-.
claimed the good tidings Of
great joy, that there was
born, in the city Of David,
a savior, which was Christ
the Lord +; and "there was
with the angel a multitude
Of the heavenly host, prais-
ing God, and saying Glory
to God in the highest, and
on earth peace and good
will to men,"
This was a glorious day,
and one fraught with in6n.
ite good to a fallen world.
Hence, to a Christian peo-
pie this anniversary should
not be a day of gloomy sad
ness, nor one OF humiliation
and self-abasement. On the
contrary, we should esteem
it the holiday Of holidays,
and anticipate it by most
intelligent and thoughtful
preparation for the enjoy
ment and delight Of our fam
lilies and friends.
In this community it has
long been the custom to
bestow gifts - confections,
books, toys, and articles Of
apparel and adornment.
This is a beautiful Gus
tom, and when supplement-
ed by family reunions. with
JOY and gladness, one that
will add largely to the right
observance of the day, and
promote peace on earth
and good will to men.
Anticipating the usual de-,
.mand for appropriate and
useful gifts for the ap-
preaching Christmas, we
beg to enumerate the tolo1
lowing, as among the arti-
cles in our stock which, III
properly presented, would
contribute not a little to Sc
cure the good will Of recip-
tents.
Such gifts will beget in
them a respect and regard
and love fof the day akin to
our. gratitude for the "Un.
speakable Gift" which the
day commentaries.

The State Auditor some time ago ap
pointed J. K. Brown to investigate the
books of various officials Of Adams
county against whom there were charges
Of shortage. He finds that from Sept.
1880 until Sept. /, 1885 there are appa
ent shortages amounting to the aggre.
gate to $l8, ,2l2,8l. These he attributes
mainly to official careienness: He finds
total overcharges Of $l6.779.06 These
irregularities have occurred in all the
offices. The County Commissioners ha q
allowed bills in bulk, without the Clerk I
certificate of services performed. Other
officials were equally negligent, while
there are many over charges for lees
