THE CENTURY DISCUSSION,

sanction in. the decree Of the Roman
Pontiff, previously referred to in
these columns, The News" as will
be remembered, took the view that the
language Of his holiness did not war
rant the Interpretation put upon II.
And now It turns out that the words
supposed TO have settled the matter In
favor Of an untlmely ending of the
present century was a mlstranslatlon
OF the original document,
Cardinal Gibbons. In explaining the
papal decree says, as quoted in the Chi
cago News:
"The midnight mass recommended
In Catholic churches December
81 1899, Is intended as a celebration
usnerlng in the final year Of the pres
ent century, which, as all scholars un-
derstand, ends with 1900"
II authority Is needed on a question
that should be self-eyident, this is au-
thority. But II experiment is preferred,
how would II be to try TO settle a note
for $1,000 with 1889. on the plea that
80 must be counted as the first in the
series OF hundreds? The experiment
might be tried In n bank.

RESOLUTIONS OF SYMPATHY.
Baltimore Sun.

bdlllinuft sun.
Resolutions expressing sympathy
with the Beers OF the Transyaal and
the Orange Free State Republics In
their present heroic but unequal strug-
gle for independence against Great
Britain have been introduced in both
Houses Of Congress in the Senate by
Senator Mason. and in the House by
Representative Jett, also OF Illinois. and
also a Republican Senator Mason has
supported his resolution by a speech,
which Senator Lodge, while moving the
reference OF the resolution TO the COM
mittee on foreign relations, regretted
that the Senator from Illinois had not
an opportunity OF delivering in the
British Parliament. adding that there
Is a wide gulf between private opinion
and public official expression" Whether
Senator Lodge intended his remark as
an admission that private opinion In
the country Is probably In sympathy
with the Beers. although any official
expression on the part OF Congress TO
that effect would be unwise, does not
clearly appear. Any departure, ne said,
from the attitude OF strict neutrality in
reference TO the South African troubles
assumed by the executive department
ought % be a subject Of most serious
consideration.

THE APPROACHING SEASON.

The spirit Of Christmas Is in evidence
on al hands. Tho shops are crowded
with purchasers, the streets and side.
walks are the channels in which surges
a constant stream Of humanity, and the
street cars are thronged nearly all day,
It is the time In which people are plan
ming, not only FOR their own comfort
and pleasure, but for some appropriate
surprise for friends, and particularly
for the happiness Of children. and, We
trust for something whereby the poor
aud frlendless may be made to feel that
they too, are members Of the great
family of humanity.
Originally Christmas was merely the
celebration, by song and worship, Of
the anniversary OF the birth OF Che
Savior Il was time Of sacred and
holy rejoicing at the advent on the
worlds stage Of the great Deliverer
from evil But as time went on. the
primary significance Of that holiday OF
the year grew more dim, and the sea-
son became TO many one Of feasting and
revelry. In many countries pagan
customs and medleval supersiltons Of
Yule-tide, were revived. as the Christ
mas thought lost lis hold on public sem
timent, This Is deplorable. A reli-
glon can as little surrender the faith
full commemoratlon Of It's peculiar holy
days. as can patriotism the ma
tional holidays. What would Judaism
be without It's Sabbath. or Moham-
mechanism without It's Rhamadan? The
wisdom Of the Roman church is well
displayed IN its observance OF che
church festivals.
The custom Of giving gifts at Christ
mas time Is universal, wherever that
holiday is observed In many instances
it has become a burden. 1t need not
be. II the sentiment and spirit IN
which a slit Is bestowed is the most
valuable part of It, the custom need
not be carried beyond the point when
both he who receives and he who
gives, feel 1t 20 be blessing. The
great Thought that the season should
bring home to US all is this, that il
is one in which Heaven itself has pro-
claimed peace on earth and good will
toward men"

ilized world.
In the article referred to II Is pointed
ont that the tendency to monopoly Is
by no means new, The agitation about
IL dates from the beginning OF 1895
but the fact itself is much older. In
Us present form It Is an outgrowth Of
the great advancement In arts and in
dustrles. The railway and the loom
and the blast furnace and all the bene-
hcent inventions that have accompanied
them have fostered the growth OF mo-
nopoly, and have in some fields made
competition actually impossible except
under conditions which cause more in
jury than benefit TO the public
