TYAVING a stock of goods

IL a practical Illustration
of putting a light under
a bushel and expecting the
public to see the glare. The

good purpose, for it viii make of great
er value a harbor in the Pacific in
which we acquired treaty rights some
years ago. We have not many coaling
stations, and this is one of the best
outside of our own coasts. 1t is ques-
toned whether this appropriation is as
good one as all Hawaii is offered to us
today. But we have not yet acquired

The Custom Of Christmas.

Far back in the twilight Of history we
find the nations OF the past observing GER
tain great festal days. The Christmas of
tho christians rose after tho introduction
of tho new religion, and in time supplant
cd the saturnalian festival held at tho
same seuson Of the year, aud as christianity
spread it gathered In various nations some
striking features from older festivals or
holy days which were still dear to the
hearts OF the various people VIM became
chrstianiZed.
Thus IN England tho customs of bring
ing the oak and mistletoo into tho homes,
with much more that had lived in tn af
fictitious Of the people as associated with
customs held saor Cd or holy before Christ.
mas appeared, became features of tho En-
gish Christian Festival. and To-day i. is
doubtful If In all tho civilized world there
is IL single day which has so strong II hold
on the minds Of young and old, o! the 70
ligious and the worldly, as Christmas Day.
This Is due 10 several causes not the
least OF which IS the appeal to tho univcr
snl heart, its invitation to the best in man
to rXl and its appeal to all to sock to make
other lives happy, But this is tho reason
why Christmas is dear 10 those who are
working for II better day. II Is the only
day in the year when men, wOmcu, ind
children seek to make Others happy by
OF tenderness and cheer
1t is unfortunate that this life OF giving
the outgushlng Of tho soul in loving
thought for others should not mark every
day Of life for ull Of us Yet since mans
advance has not reached this uttit udc of
felicity, lot Us rejoice that here is one day,
when the overmastering desire of the
heart Of tho people Is to carry Joy into
other lives. Tho spirit Of Christmas is an
essence which will pnrvado life when
savage and Inurdcrous competition is no
more.
Christmas has become such time Of
present buying and giving hat all families
look forward to 1t with something like
drcad. They do rot wish to he the re.
c.plents presents without giving In re.
turn, and they have often had to deny
thsms3lvts thing, they very much needed
To buy presents Tor friend who they knew
intended to remember them in the same
way. Aud 1t Is nothing for tho rich to
lavish presents for their loved ones while
there are Thousands within easy distance
Of their homes who have no coal or clothes
to keep their bodies warm, no food to
answer tho cry Of their system for sue
tcnuncc, no books to nOrrish their minds.
A card. or better still, an undergraduate
breathing the honest wishes Of the heart,
the genuine outgushing ct the soul should
take the place Of costly presents between
grown friends and the money which one
can afford to spend at this timo should go
towards Frightening and gladdening the
homes which would otherwise bs cheer

The p}th OF tho rlatter.

Representative Dingley touched the core
Of the question Of revenue and deficit in
his speech In the House on Friday, Dec.
10, In which he IL reported rs saying: o..
1.-THE estimated deficit for this present
year not counting this money obtained
and 10 be obtained from thu Pacific Rail-
roads, was t2s, 600, 900. The anticipatory
importations had. Mr., Dinsley ar,
Us, 100000. Those importations had re-
duced the deficit last year from t56 co., 700
TO $l8OO0,000. Inasmuoh as the importa-
lions were for consumption this year, Mr..
Dingley commended that in equity that sum
should be credited to the receipts OF the
current year. If they wero 80 credited, in
stead Of u deficit, there would DO surplus
! this year IL $lo,O00o0O. Mr.. Dingley ilg--
;ured out II surplus Of exactly thai ameuhs
for the coming fiscal year. .,.. 20. -,,,.,
He described the steady manner 10 whioh
the revenues had boon increasing at the
rate Of one or two millions month Al
though December was generally bad
month for impOrtltions, he said that II tho
increase for the first nine days OF this
month were continued, the receipts this
month would increase from S25, 900, 600 in
November to $!7,0OJ,OO0 in December.
When he confidently predicted that the
euecC u Tue autiClpatory TeNelhes "ouiu
all be overcome during this fiscal year.
and that after May or June, 1898, the revo-
nues would exceed the expenditures the
Republican side broke into repeated
cheers"
To the contention Of Mr. Dingiey, snys
the American Economist, that the s3s. o0o,-
900 of duties on an,cipatory importations
should In equity be credited to the receipts
Of the current fiscal year, instead of to the
receipts of the fiscal year ending with
June 80, 1897. there is no fair answrr save
that Of acquiescence Tho addition OF
$685. 0)0, 900 would have been tho result had
! the Dingley law been promptly passed, or
had the proposed retroactive clause been
incorporated into the measure
In any case. the prospect improves day
by day, and the yielding Of revenues am
pie to meet expenditures reasonably an
intelligently trimmed to fit existing cir.
cpmstances may be safely sot down as ono
! Of the established certainties of the Ding
! 10y law.

Pe!nherton, N. j., Dec. 20.--A wifc's
Jealousy came very uear causing tragedy
here last night. There was a min ,trel
show in town on Saturday night which OF.
tracted quite u crowd. In the audience
was young white girl of excellent family,
who seemed to lake deep interest In WIN.
johnson, one Of the colored performers,
and aftorward managed to have few
words with him as they were leaving tho
hall.
johnson seemed very much elated and
chat oil wi b tho girl for several minutes
before bidding her good night. 1t seems
that Johnson's wife was u quiet observer
Of this little side show. but she made no
hlluslon to the fact, and they went home
together. On the following day the white
g'ri sent Il notH to johnson, asking him to
rcct hor ut y o'clock in the evening on the
outskirts OF tho town. johnson was not
home, but Mrs. johnson was, and she read
the note. Then her mind was made up.
At the appointed hour sho was at the
try sting place, and when the girl came
along aud gave the signal agreed upon
Mrs. johnson jumDcl on her and beat her
IN terrible manner Tho girl was no
match Tor her ,sa.lunt, and finally receiv.
rl II blow that rendered her UNCONSCIOUS.
She was iGund in this condition some time
nitorward and taken to Prmborton, where
hcr injuries were attended to. They are
not OF dangerous character. johnson
