Cnchristmas-Lf Weather,

1t is unfortunate for both the shoppers
and the merchants that these last few
days of Christmas buying should be marked
by bad weather. The overcast skies
threaten rain or snow and the streets do
not dry off as readily as they should, owing
to the surcharged condition of the atmos-
phere. Merchants declare that the trade is
seriously affected by this sort of weather,
that the people who are prevented from
buying during single day of the last week
before Christmas do not make up for lost
time on succeeding days when the condi-
tions are more favorable. However this
may be, il IS serious annoyance to both
sides of the bargain. Yet no remedy is
plainly at hand, save that the shoppers
should forget their little dscomforts for
the brief space yet remaining and finish
their errands whether it rain, snow freeze
thaw or clear. At all events, it is to be
hoped that before Saturday arrives the
present unstable, diSagreeable conditions
will have passed over and some settle
ment in the elements will be arranged in
order that Christmas day may be bright
and CHEEKY.

ticeabie the school children and others

The Port Arthur 4ueatiOn.



What kind of moral right have we to
say that Russia. wanting she does to
turn Siberia into a Canadian dominion,
shall not find pert of exit for her vast
posses sion Il little to the south of the ice
bound regions of the Siberian coast? How
long should we be. If Canada had no port,
before we made it primary object of our
policy to get one for her? Or what claims
have We, who hold Hong-kong, Labuan
and Singapore, to declare that Germany,
with ter large far eastern trade, shall not
have port in which the warships neces-
sary to protect that trade shall be refitted
If any thing that is ours is taken away or
menaced, or if We are violently prevented
from acquiring our fair share of influence
or commerce, let us fight, and fight with
our whole hearts; but let US not give way
to these unreasoning fits of jealousy and
spite. We do not like Russia, as an auto
cratic state hostile tos many of our just
claims; but her rights are, and must nc,
precisely those which we claim for our
selves: and so are those of the German
emperor, though he Is not only hostile. but
would dearly like. If he could only do it,
to take away our splendid possession of
South Africa.

4 Republican Necessity.

The holiday season is hardly appropriate
for such Il purpose. but the republican
leaders of Congress might put in portion
of the recess to advantage by rejecting on
the divided state of the party councils
The fact stands very plainly revealed. the
party does not seem to be united on a single
important proposition. There are at least
four factions disputing about currency
reform: An unconditional do-nothing fac
ton. a faction supporting the Presidents
Recommendation. 2 faction disposed to sup
port Secretary Cages recommendation, and
a faction partly convinced that something
ought to be done. but without opinion as
yet as TO what that thing should be. There
are the active friends of Cuba and the
passive friends of Cuba. The Hawaiian
question brings out alnexationists and
anti-anneXationist-- Repeal the civil sery-
ice law. say some. modify it's application
say others. while third faction want the
law sustained There is division even as
to the Dirgley bill. Demand is heard in
some quarters for supplemental revenue
legislation at once, while in other quarters
faith in the bill is confidently expressed.
In d party of strong men divisions are to
be expected. and they always appear. But
unless they are promptly fought out the
party always suffers. The republican party
Is In power clothed with responsibility. 1t
cannot with safety shirk its work Its time
for action has arrived. 1t is called upon to
make a platform for the next Congress
elections The party has never won d fight
on do-nothing record. As a matter of
fact, II has no such record. No party ever
won a fight divided against Itself a party
like house, when divided against itself,
falls.
No stock is taken, need be taken, in
stories ascribng a deliberate purpose on
the part of this man or that to put
obstacles in the way of his party No re-
publican leader could find excuse or justifi-
cation for course such as that. Neither
for the sake of revenge. nor with a view
Of advancing his personal fortunes could
any man gain anyt thing by aiding in bring
Ing about reverses for his party. The party
Is on trial, and if it fails every member of
II must share in the consequences.
The democracy. meanwhile is living on
Easy street. 1t is not required to propose
anything, and il finds no difficulty in pre-
senting Il solid caucus front on a platform
critiCisins the opposition.

The Wcylerian Policy.

The Weylerian policy, though for diplo-
matte purposes suspended, is still dear to
the Spanish heart. 1t represents the real,
candid Spanish idea about dealing with
Cuba. No Spaniard, in Office or out, will
conceoe any character to the insurgents.
All alike contend that the men in arms
in Cuba against Spanish authority are
no better than bandits. Hence, as General
Weyler reasoned, let them be proceeded
against as bandits. Why undertake to rea-
son or compromise with such people? Why
not exterminate them at once?
On this line of action General Weyler
fashioned his course during his whole stay
in Cuba. And everything he did was &C.
cepted and Endorsed by his suDeriors in
Office and by the Spanish people. His full
eighteen months of savagcry brought him
only praise from those he served. Then
came the asSaSsina ton of his chief and
such shake-up at Madrid as to require
his recall. Criticism of him since INDUCED
in by those who supported him while he
was in power has been transparency dis
honest, unconvincing and insincere. The
purpose has been only to puff General
Blanco and the Sagasta scheme of ''paci-
fcation.' Underlying it all has continued
a fervent admiration for the butcher, and
regret that he did not succeed.
The conservatives of Cuba are the first
to tire of the humbug change. They come
out now III praise Ct General Weyler, and
in condemnation OF autonomy. They want
Spanish 1uie for the island, and all that
it has hitherto signified. They are like
wise greatly offended at the Presidents
assertion of the right CT this government
to intervene i'll the struggle. This is dis
tinctly the Spanish view, and there can
be no doubt of the fact that it prevails
at Madrid well as in Havana. 1t has
found open expression in the one capital.
How long will it be before it finds authori-
tativc expression in the other?
What Chance can tnere be for the sue
cess OF autonomy, with the scheme rejected
by the insurgents and by powerful Span
ish party as well? If 1t is not to cause the
insurgents to ground arms nor yet the
Spaniards in the island to give it their
support, What is to be expected of it?
How long is the play TO run?

Germany's Growing Power.

The theatricals at Kiel the other day
We're diverting. but Germanys European
rivals are not permitting them to go at
that And II is probably wise that they are
not. Emperor William loves the spectacu-
lar. and INDUCES himself very frequently.
In addition to being i soldier, he is some
thing Of an orator, something Of a painter,
something OF a musician, and this variety
OF equipment Justifies and explains his pas
zion for parades and proclamations But
he is no mountebank. and his present PLAY
therefore Is well worth the serious atten-
ton of the powers.
While part OF his play in this demonstra-
ton against China is to strengthen his
power at sea. it is not to be forgotten tina.
he is already exceedingly strong on land.
He controls the finest lighting machine In
the world The German army is the Iarg-
est In poirt Of numbers. the best drilled and
the best equipped, in Europe. 1t is likewise

Two Dollar Wheat.


From the Topeka Capital.
An irreconcilable popuist exchange re-
marks mournfully that If Bryan had been
elected wheat would now be 81 instead of
81. Possibly. However. Kansas farmers
are getting 81 for all the wheat they sell
in Mexico, and a good deal of American
wheat has gone into that country The s.
they get in Mexico, however, are no better
or more valuable than the 81 they get in
Liverpool or New York or Chicago. But
the s. the Mexicans have to pay for Amer
lean wheat Is severe hardship to the
bread eaters Of that financially decrepit
country. If Bryan were elected and If
wheat were 81. American workmen would
find it almighty hard to get the 81 to buy
the wheat. and when the farmer got his 81
he would find it would go no further than
81 now.

A Reformation,


His Shakespeare he took and each princi.
pal part
He studied with care till he had it by
heart.
He never neglected a chance to recite.
He spoke "Hamlet's soliloquy" night after
night.
He went on the stage; but he made nc
pretenses
From season to season of paying ex-
penses.
So he got him some gloves that were stuff
ed with curled hair
And he babe all the heavy weights watch
him with care.
Whenever a battle was fought he came
And challenged the winner for all he was
worth.
No mole are the orchestra chairs sad and
lonely.
His new piece is playing TO standing
room only.

Patriotism and Cownrdly Indifference,

In 1879 Minister Lowell, referring to The
peace made by Martinez Campos, declared
that all intelligent Spainiards admitted
that the country could not afford another
war" and he might. no doubt, nave added
that many OF those Spaniards had had fair
warning that. should another war occur,
the Cubans would not again be deprived
of any Of their rights to recognition as
belligerents by the United States. Our
course for years has been that of forbcar-
ance toward Spain, but we will discredit
our own patriotism, humanity and Chris
tianity by any further exhibition of cow
ardly indifference to the Cuban cause.
