The approach OF Christmas should
be looked upon with more solemnity
than usually characterizes the season.
Being the anniversary Of an event upon
which all real happiness depends, and
without which life Is not worth living.
1t should be celebrated with proper
merriment In an appreciative manner.
The custom of eating and drinking to
excess, gaming and iuduging in other
sinful pleasures should be absolutely
abandoned.
There never was such a town for
nicknames a Lancaster is. and vet
they are not used In derision or re-
proach, but in the best feeling. There

ful OF the passage OF the pension bill

IL should be a source of proud salts
faction TO every democrat in the State
to contemplate the fact that Kentucky
Is the only State in the Union that
never went republican, unless 1t was
counted that way In 1896, and, strictly
speaking. as a whole or entire State, IL
couldn't be so counted then, as the re-
publicans did not get the full electoral
vote. Every other State In the Union
has, from time to time, surrendered
principle for some local interest and
gone astray In National races. Let US
line up for the coming campaigns and
prove ourselves worthy of this great
distinction.
The call on the various circuit clerks
of the State TO refund certain fees, on a
technicality of law, Is working great
hardship. inasmuch as the fees have
been earned and disposed of in good
faith by the clerks. understand that
our clerk, Mr.. w. b. Mason, will be
required to refund s305. The imcom-
Ing Legislature should pass an act re-
lieving the clerks at once and also an
act to require the State To refund TO
other parties funds which have been
unlawfully collected, since there are
many cases OF that kind and we cannot
now proceed against the State.
1t is amusing to notice the men In
every neighborhood. who were named
for great men, such as Washington,
Jefferson, Clay and Bonaparte. When
considering some of these Names akes,
we are forced to conclude that there is
nothing In name. Many fond moth.
