When on the chandelier I saw
The mistletoe and holly,
The one conclusion l could draw
Led me straight on to folly.
For Marjory, with cheeks aglow
- And lips each one a berry,
Was smiling at the mistletoe
A smile peculiar, very.
watched them both, and when above
Her head the green leaves futtered,
/ caught and kissed the girl love
And something tended uttered.
She blusheds of course; the deed was done
Ouoth she: Since kissing's pleasant,
I'll give you just another one,
To be your Christmas present.
Good lovers all, take note of this,
The Christmas prank of Cupid.

The few weeks Immediately preced-
ing the holidays are usually marked by
social entertainments given for re-
ligious or charitable object. This year
the custom is being observed to its
fullest extent. So far during the
month of December there have been a
greater number of affairs of that char
acter than during any similar period in
recent years. Every evening there
has been one or more small entertain
ments, while the larger ones contin-
ned for several nights. Notable among
these were the Cathedral Fair, which
was brought to very successful close.
and the festival in Pythian Castle
which continued five nights. The
number of purely social functions was
not great, but several very entertain
ing receptions and soirees were given.
These. with the meetings of the social
clubs, maintained an interest among
the devotees. Another week will mark
the beginning of the holiday festivities,
and the intervening period promises to
be very dull. Between Christmas and
New Years there will be number of
very elaborate balls, among them the
annual New Years affair and the Char
ity ball, both to be given in the audi
forum of the Carroll Club. While So
ciety may be said to have been dull,
the devotee has found employment for
leisure hours in shopping expeditions,
and in a comparison Of notes with ref
erence to suitable Christmas presents.
There is no more popular social or
ganization in the city than the Arion.
In may respects it is model institu-
ton of its character. 1t is the rep
resentative German-American social
club, its membership including soIhe
of the most prominent and wealthy
families in the city. 1t has been re-
markedly successful from the Gate OF
its formation, and this is largely due
to the fact that political or sectarian
lines are never drawn. 1t aims to pro-
vide wholesome enjoyment for its
members and their families, and no
more congenial assemblages are found
anywhere than in its cozy club house,
1t the corner of Main and Twentieth
streets. When the society was orean-
lied this building was purchased,f and

Spanish leaders have abandoned
the idea that the Cubans will sur
render or accept autonomy, and
further believe that Spain will not
be able to conquer them by force of
arms. This news will be very graft

far better than for the United States
to step in and settle the matter.

masses. To change non-interest-
bearing debt to an interest-bearing
debt is sheer madness.
The only plea for such measure
was the "endless chain" argument
against the greenbacks, and that
has been proved a fafsehood,
baseless invention, a claim that has
no foundation either in fact or
theory.
But the bond issue to furnish
funds for republican extravaganza
may be very disastrous fact.

Tele ph one to the Hills.

Pierre, S. D., Dec. Active
work on the construction of h. tel
ephone line between this city and
Rapid City has commenced. The
project is being pushed by the Rowe
Bros, who have been at work ON
the preliminary arrangements for
some time past and VINO nave now
on the ground the material for the
first % miles of the line, with the
balance contracted for, to be deliv
cred as rapidly as needed They
expect, if the weather does not be-
come so severe as to compel them
to stop work, to have the line in op-
eration by the first of March. They
believe that with the completion of
their line they can secure the con
struction Of the long distance line Of
the eastern part of the state to this
city, and thus make complete sys-
TEN between all points in the east
ern half of the state and the Black
Hills country. This move will be
aided by the local lines in the Hills,
whic IN touch all the towns of impor-
lance and extend north to the range
country. The line from here west
will touch at Midland and Smith
vile and give points of communica-
ton with large part Of the range
cattle country between Pierre and
the Hills.

DEFICIT UPON DEFICIT.

The. serious condition Of the
treasury is causing the administra-
ton grave anxiety.
With the Dingley tariff bill pro-
ducing deficit to date of about
$4,000, 900, with pension list SO
great that a deficit Of So, 900, 900
now exists, and with a postofhce
deficit Of $4,000 900, it looks as
slough the republicans would have
is face big bond issue in the
spring.
Had it not been for Cleveland
4 purchase Of $3.50, 900. 900 of gold,
the Mckinley government wcul l.
now find itself So, 900, 900 short,
and the necessity for issuing bonds
would already be upon it.
But III the face Of such a show
ing as this the republican currency
sreformers' have the stupidity 10
suggest the creation Of bonded
debt for the purpose Of destroying
The greenbacks, which would i'm
pose a. annual tax in the way Of
interest on the people Of this
Il country amounting to $40, 100000
This proposition is absolutely in
defensible There is no reason fol
L except the glasping greed Of the
bond dealers, who wish TO enrich
themselves Al the expense Of tn

GREENBACK RETIREMENT


In his message to congress Mr..
Mckinley commits himself to the
scheme of retiring the greenbacks
and treasury notes, says the
World Heard. That portion of
his.message relating to the currency
shows that MIR. Mckinley realizes
that the scheme is unpopular, and
one may almost observe the presi-
dents embarrassment as he pro
ceeds with his painful subject.
The president recommends that
the detailed plan of Secretary Gage
be carefully considered" and he
then proceeds to indors9 unequiv-
ocally the chief features Of the
Gage plan. 1t is hardly probable
that congress can be induced to
consummate the scheme for green
back retirement, although the
change that has been wrought in
Mr.. Mckinley since his election to
the presidency will certainly give
great hope to the effort of hnan-
Gers who are to make the effort to
lobby the greenback retirement
scheme through congress.

PROMISE AND PERFORMANCE

PROMISE AND PERFORMANCE
President Mckinley has a high
IDEAL of what requirements are
needed to make good American
citizens. Among the wise sugges-
tons which he gave in his inau-
gural was a warning 10 the people
against ga citizenship too ignor-
ant to understand OF too vicious to
appreciate the great value and ben
ehcence of our institutions and
laws" This was greeted as
promise on the part of the PEST
dent to use his influence in keep
ing out of the United States all
those who were not fitted to be-
come Clt1ZenS.
The presidents theory is above
criticism, but his practice is not on
the same high plane. Backed by
an organized body of selfish CAPT
talists, he proposes to annex
Hawaii to the United States and
thus make American citizens of
about a hundred thousand ignor-
ant pagans, who can by no posi-
bility be said to appreciate the
great value and benehcence Of our
institu tons and laws
Politicians want Hawaii, specu-
iators want the island, but people
of this country do not want it.
Why the people do not want it
is tersely told by Senator Stephen
M. White Of California, as follows:
1.-The islands are useless for de-
tenslve purposes.
"They ars valueless from an
economic point of view.
"They will contribute nothing to
national morals or wealth.
''They will add an undesirable
element to the already sufficiently
burdened population.
"The islanders are hostile to the
treaty, and annexation involves a
disregard of their rights
owe are offered buccaneer
title only.
"The scheme is contrary 10 wise
ly established presidents and to
the teachings of the fathers.
!" Annexation must eventuate in
immense army and naval expendi-
ture and consequent onerous taxa
ton"
Asa maker Of fine phrase Presi-
delt Mckinley is success, but
his performance is not equal to his
promises.
