CHRISTMAS GREETING.

peace on earth to men" was the
angelic announcement of the birth
of Him whose mission was of peace
and brotherly love to man, and on
each recurring Christmas the heart
of man responds to the salutation,
rises above the sorrows and ills, re-
presses the contentious and anger,
turns from the gloom and fears of
life to the bright ray of peace, hope
and love, and rejoices in the full
ness of a heavenly joy that inspires
and contributes to the happiness of
all, as becomes brothers, the chill
dren of the Father of all. May all
our friends be filled with that un-
bounded and unalloyed Joy, and
have a merry Christmas.

high plane respected and protec ted

No use writing a column to show
England's critical situation, when
it is so fully outlined by the London
Times in the following: Neither
the Crimean war nor the Indian
mutiny gave rise to greater dangers
to the empire than that with which
we are now menaced, nor at either
of these critical periods was Great
Britain so isolated politically or re-
garded with such dislike and sus-
picion as are now almost every
where apparent. Unless the calm
ness which impresses the foreign
observer proceeds only from apathy
or a want of sufficient imagination
to realize the imminent danger to
the whole fabric of our empire, the
great efforts now urgently required
will surely be made before it is too
late to retrieve the situation. We
are fighting not merely for suprem-
acy in South Africa but our posi-
ton as a great power"

The Courier-Journal attributes
the universal anti-English senti-
ment of European nations to Eng
lands friendship for the United
States during our war with Spain. )"
That friendship" canard has been
long since exploded; besides the dis
trust and isolation of England by
other nations antedates the Amer
ican-Spanish war by many years.
Like the overbearing bully that has
suddenly got trouncing, no one
sympathizes, but all agree it was
we'll deserved, and more of the same
kind would not be amiss.

REDMOND MARRIED.
His Bride the Daughter of An
Irishman Settled in
bennington.

John Redmond, the Irish member OF
Parliament recently in this country with
Lord Mayor Daniel Talon, of Dublin, for
the purpose Of raising funds for the erec-
ton of monument to the memory of
Charles Stewart Parnell, did not land at
Queenstown with his colleague on De-
cember 10, as was expected, but proceed
ed to Liverpool, much to the surprise of
his friends.
The reasons for his action are explained
in dispatch from London, which states
that he was married on Saturday last at
Services church, Fulham road, London,
to Miss Beesley, daughter OF James Bees
ley, an Irishman settled in business in
bennington.
The attachment is said to be Of some
duration The ceremony was strictly pri-
vate and MO information whatever was
given to the public. Mr. Rcdmond's first
wife died eight yellfs ago.

Our Anglo ohnnies are having
fits over the woes of John Bull. 1t
doesn't occur to them that they

Beers, but our Anglomaniacs, poor
fellows, would certainly weep them
selves away. Well. we can we'll

The Orangemen of Chicago,
posing as English-Americans,"
startled the world by publishing a
dispatch rendering to the Premier
of Canada a regiment of Illinois
citizens of English birth, who will
report at any time or place, to up
hold English civilization and liberty
in South Africa" These are the
same fakes who in the last election
in Chicago claimed to number
several thousand voters and tried to
pull the leg" of both the Demo
cratic and Republican campaign
committees, but were proven by an
investigation to be few in number
and about one-third aliens. The
Premier of Canada will do we'll to
not try to hold his breath till those
bombastic patriots shoulder arms
and report for service.

INDIANA LABOR LAWS.

Organized labor in Indiana has
made but little noise, though it has
been actively at work in past years,
and as a result of its systematic,
wise and united effort has accom-
plished more effective and lasting
benefits for the elevation, protection
and advancement of labor interests
than their brethen in most Western
States, and their example is worthy
of emulation by Kentucky organized
labor. There has not been any Sc
rious trouble, except a few cases
among the miners, in Indiana for
years, and the false impression that
organized labor in that State was
demoralized and powerless has be-
come prevalent. Results, however,
prove to the contrary, and as Incl
laaNts- sslh.attention to the resi con-
dition of labor in Indiana the results
are shown to be favorable, causing
first surprise, then admiration it
should go further and cause a
thoughtful investigation of the
methods of procedure, and an effort
to secure like results by similar
peaceful means in other States, par
ticularly in Kentucky. We believe
the working people of Kentucky
are more strongly organized than
those of Indiana, but when results
of the efforts of each for betterment
of their respective conditions and
standing under the law are COM
pared, the Kentuckians must take
off their hats to the Hoosiers.
We cite two matters which have
been the subjects of effort and legis-
lation in both States-the regular
payment of wages, child education
and restriction of child labor. Not
withstanding all that has been done
in years in Kentucky in session
after session of the Legislature,
practically nothing has been accom-
plished. The laws enacted were
incomplete, defective, and the State
officials can not be induced to in
terest themselves sufficiently to
make a test in the courts, to advise
or aid labor in any way to secure
the desired end. We have laws
regulating payment of wages, re-
quiring school attendance, prohibit
ing child labor-that is, to an ex-
tent-but they are dead letters, are
notoriously violated and no effort
made to enforce them. 1t is only
our knowledge that such laws have
been enacted in Kentuckysthat ena-
bles us to assert we have such laws
in this State, fully conscious that
the real condition of affairs indi-
Gates that in effect there are no such
laws--because they are not enforced
and the abuses they should remedy
are openly and generally prevalent.
In Indiana they, too, have such
laws, but they are simple in Ian |
guage, plain in their provisions, /
and they are enforced. The law I
requires payment of wages weekly |
by all employers, except where the I
majority OF the employees agree I
otherwise. it being conceded that in
some instances weekly payment Of /
wages would entail Inconvenience E
ind expense. but in all cases gu- a
