Representations BAILEY, of
Texas, has made statement con-
corning his attitude towards Gen.
Jos. Wheeler and three other
members of the house who hold
commissions in the volunteer
army. He quotes Section 6 of
Article l, of the Constitution
THAT no person holding any Office
under the q. S. shall be member
of either house during his contin-
uance in office'-and cites two
cases in which the house decided
members to have forfeited seats,
one by accepting majors COM
mission in the District of Column
bia militia, and the other, by be-
coming Colonel of a volunteer re-
giment, in the Mexican war. Mr..
Bailey thus defines his own posi-
ton: Il an one Of those who be-
lieve that it is the highest duty Of
every man to obey the law and to
respect the constitution; and l
have little patience with the weak
suggestion that member of con-
gress shall shrink from his sworn
duty because public sentiment
would allow brave and distin-
guished man to hold two high
offices, even though it be against
the constitution Of our country"
Another phase of the same ques.
ton is now being discussen in the
senate-the constitutional right of
senators to serve as government or
presidential commissioners.

OFFENSIVE PARTIS.4NS.

United States Marshal John
Haggart is very busy with affairs
political, mixing up in the senat-
orial fight and endeavoring to all
in his power to make the gang
control of the senate sure. Dan
Mcmillan is boldly given credit
for distributing the material that
carried Cavalier county in the last
campaign. The various factions
in the republican party are accus-
ing land Office officials belonging
to other factions of leaving their
desks to take hand in state poll
tics when they ought to be attend
ing to their duties. The whole
thing is getting SO that it borders
on big scandal, which little
more bitterness among republicans
themelves will start into a big
flame. And if such things had
occurred under the administration
of President Cleveland instead of
under that of Mark Hanna what a
howl the ye]ping puppets of re-
publicanism would have made.
Federal officials have no right
mixing in politics in this state,
and some of them at least will sue
cesd in hanging themselves with
the help of a. little more rope

WHEN Boss Platt was asked
whether anything else besides the
demands Of his private business
had influenced Secretary Bliss to
resign the protfolio of Secretary
of tho interior, he could hardly
keep his face straight. Bliss was
taken into the Cabinet to head off
demands made by Plat, and he
has been used for che same pur-
pose at various times since. So
Plat isn't grieving over his re.
signation. Indeed, it is altogeth.
CT probable that Plat has done
bis part to push along the petty
annoyances which have resulted
III convincing Mr.. Bliss that his
private business needs his atten-
ton. While it is not likely that
the resignation of Mr.. Bliss was
brought.about by any open rupture,
it was probably the elimination
of dissatisfaction because of a
thousand and one little things, no
one of which is important enough
to be assigned as a reason for re-
signa.tion. 1t has been an open
secret in Washington that Mr..
Bliss didn't like his job.

CHRISTMAS DIP:

Christmas is essentially a Christ
ian observance. Nevertheless, it
supplanted an ancient heather
festival, and still pe,petuates
some of the customs of early
Rome.
The origin of fete day at this
season of the year was the celebra-
ton of the winter solstice. Ac-
cording to tradition, it was in
stituted by Romulus, and was call
ed the Brumalia. The event was
very naturally typifed by the
kindling of fire, amid solemn re-
joicings, as a symbol of the re-
turning warmth Of the sun. To
this remote origin is traced the
modern custom of burning the
Yuie log and lighting the Chris
mas candies.
One of the principal customs
was one which prevails to this day
a general exchange of gifts.
The commonest presents were wax
tapers and clay dolls. The dolls
even then, as in these later years,
were sold at fairs-held regularly
at this season. 1t is a revelation
of the antiquity of much of our
so-called modern civilization to
find that even the Christmas doll
bazaar dates back to ancient
Rome.
The early Christian church cele-
brated the nativity of Christ, to.
gether with the feast Of Epiphany,
on the sixth of January. About
the fifth century, however, the
date was changed to the twenty
fifth of December, perha ps with a
view to displanting the Saturnalia.
Some writer's claim that this could
not possibly be the true date of
the nativity, because December
is the hight of the rainy season
in Judea, when neither focks nor
shepherds could have been at
night in the fields at Bethlehem.
In the early church, the obser.
vance of Christmas was purely re-
ligious. The exchange of gifts or
any worldly celebration was frown-
ed upon as lapse into heathen-
ism. As the centuries passed,
this auste1ity naturally relaxed.
The good Saint Nicholas appeared,
and many beautiful customs grew
up about his benefcent personality
Little by little the day absorbed
all manner of foreign observances
from the traditions and customs
of different lands. Little by little
it became a composite in which the
influence of heather gods. druids,
elves, fairies and medieval saints
mingled with the true spirit of the
day.
Such was the origin Of Christ
mas. Whatever else it has been,
whatever else it may be, it is pre-
eminently day which recognizes
the universal brotherhood of man,
AS such the world should cherish.
