The Republicans of the country
nave now an assurance of the CO opera

all that great body Of business men and
advocates of sound money who in 1896
either supported Palmer and Bucknal

party with which they had co.operated
for many years. But that is now end

men who believe in sound money,
wherever their former political homes,
will be in the Republican ranks, This
is the legitimate and certain result Of
the action of the Democratic Members
OF the House of Representatives WIN
decided in caucus to unanimously OBJ
pose the retirement of the greenbacks
and Treasury notes, which gave tleil

the old greenback doctrine Of almost a
quarter of a century ago, when coupled
with continued adherence to the free
coinage Of silver makes it certain that
every friend of sound money will
from this time forward be found
cooperating with the Republican party
on national issues.

Cool as an Ice Chest.

In the way of downright insult to
American patriotism the Presidents
appeal, issued through his secretary
OF State, calling for contributions to
feed the Cuban reconcentradoes takes
the frozen rag off the bush. It's
cooler than an ice chest in July.
Who are these concentrates (?
They are men, women and children
driven in from country districts by
the Spanish authorities and compelled
to concentrate in villages where they
can be under the watchful eye of the
Spanish military.
And why ?
To prevent them enlisting or fur.
nishing food or support, moral OIL
otherwise, to the insurgent cause.
Having done this these people, who
are without means of self-support,
are starving. 1t IS the business of
the Spanish government to feed
them, and whoever contributes one
cent to this cause gives so much aid
to perpetuate Spanish tyranny and
mlsrule in this little gem of the sea.
and it is a downright insult to the in.
telligence and patriotism of the Amer
lean people, and 1t is shameful that a
president with any claim to Ameri-
can citizenship should enter upon any
scheme, under the cloak of charity.
to aid the oppressor in crushing gal
liant men who are fighting for that
priceless boon, liberty, against great
odds.
AT the same time that this appeal
is issued comes the word that strict
orders have been issued to U. S. YES
sells in the gulf to keep sharp look
out for tillibusters. All of which
means: see that those struggling for
human rights, receive no aid but give
all the comfort you can to those who
would exlinguish the last spark of
liberty. This seems TO be the policy
OF the present administration and for
time is likely to succeed. aided BY
senlle Secretary of State, a speak
er OF the House who is the embodi-
ment of self-wiled tyranny and who
would make this government leflec-
ton of himself instead of govern
ment for and by the people, and a
few Eastern copperhead Senators.

DR.. and Mrs. w. Seward Webb's
Christmas party was big thing, in a
barn, and doubtless cut ice with the
Shelburnites. Some $50 persons were
present representing nearly every fam
lily in town. A press dispatch tells of
the party thus!
The party was given in the "exer-
else room" Of the great breeding barn
a space over 100 by 400 feet-which
was lavishly decorated with evergreens,
holly and flags for the occasion. In
the carriage room at one end was the
Christmas tree, concl aled by curtain.
The entertainment began at 5 o'clo, k
with some carols sung by the boy choir
of Trinity church. DR.. Webb's young
son, Vanderbilt, then, impersonating
Santa Claus, recited 1.-The Night Be-
fore Christmas" and then the curtain
was drawn showing the tree, loaded
with presents and sparkling with can
dies, After this was inspected the pres.
ents were distributed There were
many substantial gifts for employees,
and great quantities of les err matter
for the children.
A COLLATION. WIS served at 6 o'clock,
including oysters, chicken croquettes,
salads, salmon, cold meat, sandwiches,
ice cream, cake, lemonade, coffee, nuts,
candy and fruit
Then there was dancing in the car
riage room, football aud other games
in the exercise room, and Miss Fred.
erica Webb presided at fish pond
where the children caught presents.
There was an amusing scene when a
big bag of candy was dropped from the
ceiling and children scrambled pell
nell tor the contents. The party
broke up at midnight.

A Lively Holiday Trade

Dunn's Review of Trade for Sat-
uday is of an encouraging nature
and in some respects surprising. We
quote, as follows:
The weekly reports show remark
ably large holiday trade, at many
points the largest for five years.
Moreover, at the season when whole
sale business usually shnnks, the
pressure of demands for immediate
deliveries which arises from unprece-
dented distribution to consumers
keeps many establishments at work
