Lucid Intervals.

The Hon. John Sherman as Repre-
sentative, as Senator, as Cabinet Min
ister, has during his long public service
been SO singularIy inconsistent that
statesmen in all political pa rites can
lind opportunities TO quote approving
ly of hIs speeches aud of his acts. 1t is
quite apparent that his great ambition
has been TO keep himself en- rapport
with his party. He had laudable am
bition TO be president, but was prevent
ed from getting it by political trick.
We mako IL csc statements by way of
introdnctlon to a speech of Sherman
which he made when in lucid inter

A Visit From St Nicholas.

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the hous
Not creature stirring not even a mouse
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care
In hopes that st Nicholas soon would be there
The children nestled all snug in their BEDS
While visions of sugar plums danced in their heads
And Mama in her kerchef and / in my cap
Had just settled our brains for long winters nap
When out on the lawn there arose such clater,
sprang from my bed to what the matter
Away to the window flew like a fash
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash;
The moon on the breast of the new-allen snow
Gave lustre of midday to objects below;
When, what to my wandering eyes should appear
But miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer,
With little old driver so lively and quick
l knew in moment it must be st Nick
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came
And he whisted and shouted and called them by name
'Now Dasher! Now Dancer Now Prancer and Vixen
On Comet, on Cupid, on! Donner and Blitzen
10 the top of the porch, to the top of the wall
Now, dash away dash away ALL
As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fy
When they meet with obstacle mount to the sky
So up to the house-top the they hew
With sleigh full of tcys-and ST. Kicholas too
And then in twinkling, L heard on the roof
The prancing and paving of each little hoof
As drew in my head and was turning around
Down the chimney st Nicholas came in bound:
He was dressed all in fur from his head to his foot
And his clothes all tarnished with ashes and soot
bundle of toys he had flung on his back,
Aud he looked like a pedder just opening his pack
His eyes, how they twinkledl His dimples how merrvr
His cheeks were like roses his nose like cherry;
His droll little mouth drawn up like a bow
And the beard on his chin as white as the snow
The stump of pipe he held tight in his teeth
And the smoke, it encrcled his head like wreath
de was chubby and plump-a right jolly old elf
wink of his eye and a twist of his head
He spoke not a word but went straight to his work
And filled all the stockings then turned with Jerk
And laying his finger aside ofhis nose,
And giving nod up the chimney he rose
He sprang to bis Sleigh to his team gave a whistls
And away they all few like the down of a thistle
But heard him exclaim, ere they drove of sight
Happy Christmas to all, and to all good night

MFRYAN's STAND.
pSA Non Cannot Endure Half
Replic and Half Colony
q Half Free and Half
Vasal.

Mr.. ryan has again demonstrated
his aity TO recognize and to seize up
on a}isg national issue.
Sc years ago the issue was the tar
iff .Ad there was no more ardent or
eldent tariff-reformer than Mr.. Bry-
AZ Two years ago it was free silver
af Mr.. Bryan polled 6,50e, ,925 votes as
champion of 16 to 1. This year and
fobably for two years to come the
hief Issue promises to be Imperialism
~. Democracy, and Mr.. Bryan, laying
aside his sword, declares that the I'm
perialistic idea is directly antagonistic
to the idea and ideals which have been
cherished by the American people since
the signing of the Declaration of Irde-
pendeRce.'
''Herstofore,r he says, greed has
perverte the Government and used its
Instrumental interferenoee for private
gain; but now the very foundation prin-
ciples of our government are assaulted. ,
And with his old skill for crystallizing
in a phrase the dominant idea in his
mind he declares thar this nation en-
dure half republic and half colony
half Tree and half vassal. =
Meeting the claim that Jefferson was
an ex pasisionist. Mr.. Bryan pertinently
and pithilys says that the lmperialists
''musS destinguish between expansion
which secures continguous territory
for; future, settlement and expansion
which secures us alien races for future
subiugation. -
In regard to the treaty Mr.. BRYAN
takes Il q ground that as its rejection
wousd haye disturbing effect, and
possibly result in international compli-
cations, he WOULD 'seud the war az <Jhce
by ratifying he-trs.ty, and then deal
with the subject in our osya-way.r
His way, he indicates would be TO es
tablish stable government ih Cuba and
turn that government over to the pee
pie OF Cuba, Sas we promised TO do, and
and then do the same in Porto Rico and
the Philippines, reser wing in all these
islandsharbors aud coaling stations.
HoYAyer this policy may strike the
country IN general and the Democratic
party in particular, it will not be denied
that Mr.. Bryan has lost none of his dar-
ing and dexterity as a political Oppor-
tunist with brilliant gifts of leadership.

FASHION NOTES.

Stems of flowers play prominent
part in millinery trimmings this sea-
son. and add a naturalness to the eff
feet
The long, full, empire veil is exceed
ing effective with its soft fulness if ar
tdstically draped. 1t should be drawn
softly around the hat tied at the back
brought forward and looped in huge
bows beneath the chin.
There is nothing very new in hat
trimmings. Aigrettes are fuller and
curl softly at the ends and are no long
er stiff and erect. Flowers are seen in
profusion and are of the richest hues.
The newest caper of fashion is to
wear long light sleeves with decollete
bodices. The sleeves must be of trans
parent material gathered and closely
following the shape of the arm.
The newest thing in capes is the
shape that shows the outline of the
shoulders. The prettiest ones are Of
silk, of fancy, but pale tints, Powered
all over with delicate rose-sprays, and
are lined with pale satin.
width-belts are pretty and FAM
ciful, and altogether stylish. The gold
or gilt ones are handsome. but rather
snowy for those of quiet tastes perhaps;
while the silver ones are more quiet
and quite as stylish.
Jackets made entirely of ribbon are
a novelty of the season. They are
shaped like a jaunty little Elton, and
have double trills over the shoulders,
ribbon sides, a stock collar and band
OF ribbon across the corsage.
The Tam O'Shanter crown is a fav-
orite and when becoming to the fea-
tures is an exceeding stylish shape. The
prettiest one seen this year had a sailor
brim. The crown was in apple blossom
pink silk, with white maline, and car
ried on one side cluster Of white os-
trich tips and aigrette, and upon tho
other side a knot of deliciously natural
apple-blossoms of white deepening into
tints of richest pink.
Everything shows touch of tulle.
Tulle everywhere, upon gowns as veil
as upon hats. This also indicates a
very extravagant state of affairs, be-
cause tulle is a most destructable ma
terial The short natty jackets en- suite
with the newest skirts OF diminished
witdh are short, reaching only about
three inches below the waist, and far
ing with the ripple effects. These are
open vests OF embroidery, or applique
Of lace or velvet worked in beads or
spangles, and have the inevitable touch
of tulle or chiffon in the cravat-ends
falling from the throat, or as finish to
the full ruff or boa OF tulle now 50
fashionable This Tends the full eff
feet desirable to slender figures.

with lightning like rapidity. Once in

them is to kill them. This is what

The Republicans in Hoboken are at sea
on the Freeholder nominations. Hobohen
Republicans are only a handful and when
they get quarreIing among themselves
they are like Kilkenny cats. Some Of
them, realizing that there is not q slight
chance of electing Republicans, are in
favor Of endorsing Patrick J. 0sToole
and John F. Keatings the regular Demo-
cratic candidates. This proposition is
said to be favored by Samuel Dickinson,
the G. 0. P. leader
Director Arthur j. Clayton would Ike Z
reorganization, but il is. said that he will
be turned down. il is2said that the dele
gates are vigorously opposed to renoni-
mating him, and it looks now as f new
men will be picked UP by the Republicans.
The new men will probably be Captain
WiIlottson and Stephen a. Kessler. The
Freeholder convention will be held in Odd
Fellows Hall next Wednesday night.

nees are not worrying They feel safe

what Clayton is the strongest man the
