CHRISTIAN CITIZENSHIP

This is neither an elusive mol an am
biguous term. Its significance Is as
plain and simple as the language OF
the Ten Commandments. 1t has q
wealth of suggestion and philosophy
and, barring visionary speculation, il
presents an unlimited field for valuable
thought and profitable discussion. The
man who solves the problems of citi-
zenship and thoroughly prepares him
self to meet its duties and responsible.
ties has wrought a perfect work and
built for himselfa monument that will
last till this old earth has neither sun
nor star.
Christian citizenship pIesupposes q
sublime ideal of purity and nobility,
and the possibility of attaing this glori.
GUS crown of manhood.
1t demands the recognition OF the
worthy and capable, conscience and
integrity in political life, honesty in
the administration OF the Government
and the broadcast Enlargement of oppor-

Christian citizenship has no signet

ereignty for paltry pelf and power. All
it's ends are it's country's ends, and it
is as far above the denominations of
low, mean, grimy partisan politics as
the stars are above the waters that
reflect them.
There . be no harvest without q
sowing of the seed and there can be no
Christian citizenship without Christian
citizens. How rare or how numerous
they are, we will not stop to inquire,
We shall be content, at'this time, with
the edilcation to be derived from
analysing the component elements Of
the Christian citizen that is the hopt
and mainstay Of the Republic.
The Christian citizen is a gentleman
in all respects. He has no time t
waste in investigating the policy ant
expediency Of a movement, his chic
concern is about its propriety ant
rightfulness. With him politics /,

At the Young Mems Christian association
rooms a watch night service will be held

MINISTER LOOMS
Will Advise With Officials on Reciprocity Treaty
With Venezuela.

Washington, Dec. 9O.-Francis Loomis,
United States minister to Venezuela, has
arrived in Washington. He is on leave OF
absence from his post and while in WASH
ington during the coming week he will adj
wise with the officials on the subject Of
negotiating the reciprocity treaty and also
a parcels postal convention between the
United States and Venezuela.
This is rather an unexpected step, as
Venezuela was one of the few nlth Ameri-
can countries which did not make reci-
procity treaty under the former system. At
that time, however, Venezuela suffered by
having her coffee practically excluded from
the United States because Brazil and other
coffee-producing countries had the reduced
Duties under reciprocity treaties. This ex-
perience makes Venezeula enc CT the first
of the southrn republics to consider the
question of reciprocity treaty under the
Dingley law

BROWN DOING WELL.
Not Allowed to Even Speak to His Relatives of
the Shooting.

Felix T. Brown, the drummer who was so
seriously wounded on the night of Deem
Der % by shot from T. T. Ashford's pistol,
is still at the infirmary and is not yet out
of danger.
The doctors, however, report that he is
getting on very well, in fact, much better
than they expected. They fear that some
complication may set in, such as pneumonia
the formation of an abscess which might
cause the removal of two of his ribs. He
is very carefully watched and is not per-
mitted to speak a word, not even to his
brother and father-in-law has he been al
lowed to say anything about the shooting.
1t will probably be some days before he can
make any statement.

SEABOARD RUM0R
NOT A CANARD
THE LINE WILL HAVE AN AGENT IN
THIS CITY.
w. II. Register, Who Has Formerly Been In
Richmond, Located Here Southern and
Seaboard Buried the Ratchet"

The Age-Herald of Wednesday last print
circles that the Seaboard Airline would
appoint an agent and establish an office in
this city.
Yesterday the ru nor was confirmed, and
1t is now a settled fact that that road will
establish an asen'y here and begin lively
fight for the handling of Birmingham's
freight.
w. r. Royster, who has been soliciting
freight and passenger agent of the Sea-
soliciting freight agent for that road in
Birmingham. His duties will begin Jan. l.
The railroad people here all thought this
rumor was groundless, because of the Sea-
boards inability to handle birmingham
freight except it first be shipped to At
lanta over other roads. But it seems that
the 'burying of the Ratchet" between the
Seaboard and Southern roads is bearing
good results in this particular, for special
arrangements have been made between
these two old rivals, whereby the Southern
handles the Seaboard's freight from here to
Atlanta.

LATE NEW YORK RETURNS.
Complete Figures DO Not Waterfall
Change Eir t Stinates.

Complete Figures DO Not Materially
Change Fir t Estimates.
New YORK, Nov. 4.-Returns from
the state and city elections do not
change the result already announced.
Returns from all the counties i'll the
state indicate plurality of more than
5S, 900 for Alton S. Parker, DEM, for
chief judge of the court of appeals.
His plurality i'll Greater New York is
3S,O5S. Van Wyck, the Tammany
candidate for mayor of New York, has
81, ,548 plurality over Seth Low and
l1S, ,4Oi over General Tracy. The stat
legislature remains Republican. The
returns demonstrate that the Repub-
lican landslides of the past two
years have been reversed, if not by CIV
ing as large majority for the Democrats,
at least by changing something like
24O,OO votes. Governor Blacks plu.
rality in the state last year was over
100000. John Palmer, the Republican
secretary of state, won the year pre-
vious by over 100000. The indications
are that these enormous pluralitics have
been swept away and d reverse plural
ity of between 10000 and $4,000 is
given. The greatest surprises OF the
returns are the great gains made in the
assembly by the Democrats, many OF
them being in counties and districts
where there was no expectation on the
part of Democratic managers of win
ming. Republicans explain these gains
by attributing them to the heated mu
nicipal campaigns and the trading Of
votes. The morning returns indicate
that the Republicans still control tht
| assembly, although by largely dc
creased majority.

VIII Likely Hold u Caucus.
When Senator Foraker was endorsed
by the Republican state convention two
years ago for his present position in the
senate, there was no legislative caucus.
1t is announced now that there will be
q Republican senatorial caucus when
the legislature convenes next January.
Senator Hanna was endorsed at tho last
state convention for tho senate but the
old factional fight that formerly ex-
listed between Sherman and Foraker's
following and later bctwocn tho friends
Of Mckinley and Foraker has been re-
vivcd this year with moro intense feel
ing than heretofore. 1t is said that
there are about dozen of the Rcpubli.
can members who had some factional
opposition i'll their counties, especially
for their nominations, who do not feel
kindly towards the junior Ohio senator.
Thought This Will Settle 1t.
II There has been 50. much talk about
n6mIARefdi SmhiheS fist ST that Rsap
and Senator Hanna will no doubt be
tho caucus nominee. It's thought that
as the regular nominee there will be no
trouble about his election, as none Of
the Republican members would refuse
under the circumstances either to enter
the caucus Or to support its nominee.
