a contract to furnish the Gov
eminent all the armor plate. it
will require for the next twenty
years at a uniform price of $40
a ton, is not liked at all. Repre-
sentative Hall, Of Missouri,
member of the Naval Committee
is expected to lead the fight
against this item of the bill.
It is already evident that
strong effort It's going to be made
to induce President Mckinley to
revoke President Cleveland's re-
cent order abolishing nine pen
sion agencies. Tennessee and
Kentucky republicans are already
taking steps to bring the matter
to President McKinley's atten-
ton lust as soon as he assumes
office. and they will probably be
joined by others from states in
which agencies were abolished.
A Senator who has not com
mitted himself said: ''If the
arguments advanced for abolish
ment of half Of the pension agen-
cies are good, then all of them
should be abolished, and the
checks Tor pensions be mailed di-
rect from Washington; at least,
that is the way it strikes me
now. may think differently
when | have time to look deeper
into the subject than I have been
able up to this time"
The Senate Committee on Pub
lie Lands has begun an investi-
cation of the issuing by the In
terror Department Of a land pat
ent of $4,000 acres in Florida to
Mr.. Perrin, the present husband
Of Mrs. Cleveland's mother, as
the heir of DR.. Henry Perrine, de-
ceased, to whom the original
grant was issued. The settlers
on the land claim that the orig
inal grant was legally fortified
nearly forty years ago, and
threaten to carry the case into
the courts unless the patent is
recalled:
The acceptance of the presi-
dency Of Washington and Lee
University by Postmaster Gener-
al Wilson will place that gentle
man back into an element that
is far better suited to him, ment-
ally and physically, than the
hurly burly of active politics
which he entered when he became
a member Of the House a few
years ago. He was not cut out
for politician, and must have
realized it many times, while in
the educational field he will be
thoroughly at home. He has
made no personal enemies during
his public career although he has
often been on the unpo pular side.

NEWS FROM WASHINGTON.

With all it's boosted dignity
and elaboration the Senate is
not above a bit Of c1aptrap now
and then. In view of it's tudied
ignoring of the inhuman out
RACES in Cuba, right at our doors
50 to speak, its latest effort in
this line-the adoption of a reso-
tuition expressing sympathy with
Greece for it's stand in behalf OF
liberty in far away Crete-was
about it's worst. AS long as
nothing is to be done for the
cause of liberty in Cuba it would
seem to be good taste to say
nothing about liberty elsewhere.
The House Commute on coin
age has favorably reported the
Senate international monetary
conference bill, but it has added
amendments which may cause
the bill to fail, not because of OPP
position, but for lack of time. It
is the opinion of nearly every
body that there is only a meagre
chance for any legislation other
than that which can be put on
some appropriation bill as an
amendment to get acted upon IN
the short time remaining of the
session. There is much work vet
to be done on several of the ap-
preparation bills, and a DISPOSE
tio1, especially in the House, to
wrangle over small items.
An amendment offered to the
sundry civil appropriation bill in
the Senate, may have a far reach
ing effect upon the federal Office
holders, if it should be adopted.
It authorizes the President to
examine and review all the rules
promulgated since the passage
of the Civil service act, and to
revise; modify, or enlarge them
in accordance with the condition
of good administration and the
true purpose Of the act. There
is no doubt about the meaning
of this amendment. 1t is intend
ed to open the way for the APP
pointment of a larger number of
men in political sympathy with
the incoming administration.
There are, however, a number of
republicans who regret that this
amendment has been brought
forward. They claim that the
President already has authority
it proposes to confer, and they
like not the intimation carried
by the amendment that he has
not.
There will be some very spirit
ed talking in the House when
the Naval Appropriation Bill,
just completed, is taken up, but
time and the rules will prevent
it's being long drawn out. 1t is
that the principal fight
will be made against the item
of $7,72O,OOO for armor plate
for vessels previously authorized
The objection to this item is
that it virtually authorizes
continuance of the monopoly of
the Bethlehem and Carnegie COM
panies, notwithstanding the
proof before the Committee that
these companies sold to Russia
for $249 a ton exactly the same
grade Of armor that they charg-
ed the U. S. $3.50 a ton for, ig-
noring the offer Of the I'll. Steel

It's Happy Influence.

Blessed Christmas 1t makes our heart:
tender. 1t helps us, for the time being al
least, to throw away selfshness. 1t helps us
to be liberal, more open-hearted. We fee
kindlier toward every one, and thousands
of cold and selfish hearts seem to thaw out
under the influence of the Christmas season.
as the SHOWS on the mountain side melt
under the genial rays of the sun. The beauty
and fragrance of hearts come out under
its spell, as the violets and anemones bloom
into beauty at the call of spring.
To-day, as we give gifts to friends, let us
not forget the God who gave US all, and the
Christ who died to save us. Let it be real
Christmas to our souls, day of rejoicing on
earth, and day of gladness in Heaven, be-
cause the Christ of God has come into our
hearts.-United Presbyterian

Christmas for the Birds.

Christmas is celebrated in Sweden to an
extent unknown in the United States, and
the celebration is not over till January Is,
or twentieth day Yule" A very pretty
feature of the festivities is thus described by
Mr.. Thomas in his Sweden and the
Swedes:"
One wintry afternoon, at Jule-tide, had
been skating on a pretty lake three miles
from Gothenburg. On my way home noticed
that at every farmers house there was
erected in the middle of the dooryard pole,
on the top of which was bound a large, full
sheaf of grain.
why is this?" asked my comrade.
''Oh, that's for the birds, the little wild
birds. They must have merry Christmas,
too, you know"
Yes, so it is; not peasant in Sweden will
sit down with his children to a Christmas
dinner within doors till he has first raised
aloft Christmas dinner for the little birds
that live in the cold and snow without

Santa Claus Shop.


The other day 1 ruined away,
Which gave my ma a shock.
1 didn't get back home, they say.
Till nearly six o'clock.
An then my ma she didn't scold,
But Rugged me tight, an then
She rocked and Rugged mo till told
The places I had been.
An, say, you ought to seen her face
At last, when told how
I'd surely found the very place
Where Santa Claus lives now.
1 told her how didn't stop
A-runnin' nor turn back
Until came to Santa's shop,
An peeked in through a crack.
An how he sat there making toys,
AS busy as could be
The very kind that little boys
Got on the Christmas tree.
He looked so pale, and tired, too,
thought it was a shame:
An say, I didn't know, did you,
That Santa Claus was lame?
An when told my ma, you know,
She kissed me twice, because
She said tomorrow that she'd go
An call on Santa Claus.

He has found every chimney. and few has he passed.

He comes like flash down the mountain.
His swiftslidine skees shooting skyward the snow.

THERE'S only one way to account for the cash
That Santa so lavishly scatters:
He must have mine on the Klondlke UP North.
Where carloads Of gold are small matters.

Digging gold for his Christmas expenses:

IT often is wondered where Santa Claus gets
All the money it takes every season
To buy all the pSesents-for buy them he must.
That he makes them is not within reason.
It surely must cost him great deal of cash

Such draft every Christmas could not well be met
By the biggest and latest Of purses.

And the winds that riot and sigh,
Have their work to do ere the dreams
come true
And Christmas CLOVIS in the sky.
The holly and cedar and mistletoe,
They thrilled when the nights were chill,
For the maiden's glance and the madcap
dance
And the lovers foot on the sill.
For the Christmas mirth the brave pine
grew,
Serene and straight and tall,
The deep woods knew in their dusk and
dew
When the dearest of days would fall.
To the beautiful home our Christmas comes,
To the home that is safe and sweet,
With its door ajar for the beam of the Star.
And its corner for loves retreat.
There the mark on the wall for the golden
head
Is higher bit, for, 10!
Between Christmas coming and Christmas
sped
There's time for the BARN to grow.
Our Christmas comes with royal grace.
(Forget the ancient grudgeD
IT'S the open hand that must bless the land.
Oplift the toiling drudgeD
And who that has gifts shall hold them
back,
And who that has cheer shall wait,
When there's Joy in the sky, and the i'll
things fly,
And the Christ-Child knocks at the gate.
IT'S beautiful time when Christmas comes
All up the street and down,
For hearts alight make faces bright
When Christmas comes to town.
Neighbor and friend in gladness meet
And all are neighbors dear,
When the Christmas peace bids evil cease
In the hottest day of the year
The fair white fields in silence lie,
Invisible angels go
Over the floor that sparkles boar
With THE glitter of frost and snow
And they scatter the infinite balm of heaven
Wherever on earth they stray.
And heavens own store of bliss they pour
On the earth each Christmas day.
IT'S a beautiful task our Christmas brings
For old and young to share.
With jingle of bells, and silvery swells
OF music in the air.
To make the sad world merry awhile,
And to brighten sin away.
And to bless us all, whatever befan,
Is the task of Christmas day
