The Senate's Action.

The prompt action of the house of rep
resentatives, in passing the resolutions
demanding the withdrawal of the Span
ish from Cuba, in order that the people
of the island might organize a suitable
independent government was we believe
wise and proper, and met with general
approval. In the great question of free
ing Cuba from Spanish tyranny, the
matter of whether the Cuban gov
eminent as at present constituted (if
it be worthy of the name of govern
ment at ALI. shall be maintained or
shall fall, should be a small factor in
deed, and we believe the senate made a
mistake in demanding recognition of
the republic. \ free and independent
Cuba is the matter of first concern to
the United States. Let that be accom-
plished. and suitable permanent gov
eminent can then be established and
maintained.
The senate's patriotism, however, over
came all other consideration. and the
joint action of the houses of the Ameri-
can congress is satisfactory to the peo-
pie.
Now, Spain must at once abandon
Cuba or fight. There are no factions or
parties among the American people in
this crisis. All are united in the cause of
humanity and freedom and for the main
tenance of national honor

Additional Testimony as TO the Merits Of
Mrs. Joe Persons Remedy.

A gentleman remarked recently that
had stranger or an outsider come to
North Carolina, and made the cures
among our people that Mrs. Joe Per-
sons Remedy had made, the people
would have been stirred as never before.
Read this and suppose case:
Eleven years ago / had child that
was delicate from birth, and for six
months she was under constant care of
the best physician we had in our town.
But his medicine seemed powerless TO
control the bowel trouble, which had be-
come chronic dysentery. She also sur
fered from some aggravated blood trou-
bic. which caused large sores and rlsings
TO break ont on her body. Oft time
there would be as many as 20 or 20.
We had several doctors to treat her NJ
different times, but nothing reached her
case. They would lance these risings.
but as soon as one was cured another
broke out, and the doctors gave me no
hope of her cure. After she had led
q life of agony and suffering for six
months, | was inspired to try Mrs. Joe
Persons Remedy. There was a change
for the better in twenty-four hours, 1T
seemed to check the bowels at once, and
after using a few bottles my child was
entirely cured. and has never since had
any sign of the trouble, and is now in
perfect health. A few years after this
I had two sores to break out on my
ankle. and strange to say | did not think
of Mrs. Joe Persons Remedy. l was un-
der the treatment Of doctors for three
years, but the sores continued to get
worse until they had eaten to the bone
/ then thought of trying Mrs. Joe Per
sons Wash and did so, and it is almost
useless to say it soon made cure.
wish I could speak so that every
man, woman and child, in North Caro-
lima could hear me, that l might tell
them what Mrs. Joe Persons Remedy
and Wash did for me and mine. / advised
one of my friends who had been a terri
BILE sufferer for a long time, with nurse
sore mouth. She used the Remedy and
Wash, and it soon made a cure.
| have recommended it to ever so
many of my friends, for Indigestion, and
other ailments, and | have never known
it to fail to cure yet. There Is no medl-
cine equal TO it.

WHAT IS CHRISTMAS DAY?

Christmas is many sided day, ard it
appeals variously to the mind and heart.
There is perhaps no mind and no heart
to which it does not appeal in one way
or another-this strange old compound
of heathenism and civilization, this one
day out of the year consecrated by the
name of the founder of Christianity, and
yet testimony unto the gods of the
savage Germans.
A stout old German stock it is, grated
with the more gracious olive branch
from Judea. And so it comes down to
us, one of the most pertinent survivals
Of custom in history, a curious silvery
thread interviewer with the warp and
wool of the years, and of every year
the one day that, in the life of the race
and Of the Individual, is above all other
days, mellewing the rigors of wintry
weather and warming the pulses of the
wintry heart with balmy memories of
life's springtime.
be cherished. There is so much Of gem
tleness, of generosity, of good cheer. of
sweet associations and Of hope in it. 1t
is a day when foes swear Il truce and
the world lays down its tools of steel to
fight it's battles with mistletoe and holly.
Tomorrow it may take them up again,
but for to-day at least there is peace.
To the average child, perhaps. a year
presents itself merely as the time that
must elapsc between Christmases. Who
of ,us but remembers when he used to
Judge time that way? And why should
we not? For after all Christmas, with
us at least, is peculiarly a child's day.
That accounts for the hold it has on
us How mich of the happiness of
childhood springs from Christmas day.
Childhood without it would hardly be
childhood.
And yet there are many children TO
whom to-day will bring little change in
a pinched and starved existence The
tide of the worlds joy will surge around
them and touch them not-unless some
happier child from the fairyland where
toys and sweets abound shall remember
them, or the children of larger growth
take thought for them.
Ought it not to he the care of all that
Christmas shall be universal. Ought
that not to be its real meaning? Wheth
er we look at it from the pcint OF view
Of the church or from the point Of view
of the race. Christmas day sborld be Il
glad day. May it, be such 10 one ami
all, TO high and low.

A DEFENSE OF HoBsoN.

We take no stock in all this criticism
of Hobson for bis osculatory perform
ances. Those editors who are making
the most racket are crusty old fellows
who are sour because nobody wants to
kiss them. 1t makes them mad to see
the girls shower kisses on the young
hero and leave them un-kissed and un-
caressed. 1t is prompted, no doubt, by
a feeling of getting left"
1t is true that Hobson has not height
ened his glory by kissing the girls 50
promiscuously, but seriously could he
help it? Make self case of it, this
Christmas day, you crusty old editor or
critic. Suppose you were in hotel par
lor. far from home and mother, and a
lovely young woman was to look into
your eyes and beg for just one kiss
honest, now, could you refuse her? You
would know that it was a-lOss of dignity
and all that, but could you resist If
you could. you havn't the chivalry and
humanity about you that makes Hob
son. the hero, also young man.
That's our defense of Hobson, and it
is a defense that will outweigh all his
critics with the average American clu-
zen.
