WHERE WILL THEY LAND?

The fact that circumstances are more
powerful than men, especially in shaping
the trend of affairs political. finds a fresh
illustration in the present situation. For
months past the democratic leaders have
keenly realized the necessity Of effecting
a reunion between the discordant wings
Of THAT party. To go into the campaign
of 1900 without reconciling the Palmer
Buckner faction to the leadership OF the
Bryan men suggested another crushing
defeat at the polls. Every effort has been
made to neutralize the differences and
bring the ~antagonistic forces together,
by cultivating some new issue upon
which all could unite.
Mr.. Bryan lent himself energetically to
the task Of effecting a reunion, and with
his associates urged anti-imperialism and
anti-trusts as issues of transcendant I'M
portance to the people-questlons that
oyershadowed the paramount issue of
1896 and placed bimetallism in the back
ground. But these gentlemen have
learned to their sorrow that the leader
ship of a political party cannot always
manufacture the issues upon which it
must go before the public. The trend Of
affairs is rapidly neutralizing the So
called anti-imperiaiistic issue, and disin-
tegrating the arguments used in its be-
half, long before a national convention
has an opportunity to pass upon it's
merits. From present indications that
issue is destined to vanish into thin air
and be dissipated ON the breath of with
cred ambitions.
AS each of the great political parties
will declare against the aggressive ten
dency of the trusts, neither will have an
advantage on that issue that promises
to proselyte in its behalf. Thus it APP
pears, as matters are shaping themselves
for the forthcoming contest in the polit-
zeal arena, that the democracy is in hard
luck seeking a new issue upon which tc
reunite the party.
1t will indeed be a cruel joke upol
the "silver'' leaders of that organization
II lue4i ma StdltH lOI a new paramount
issue results in disaster, and they ar
finally compelled, in default of anythin,
else, to fall back on the free coinage prop
osition of 1896. What a sorry spectacI
they will present, to be sure, if compelle
to pick up the discarded issue of the las
national campaign, after having throw
it aside as of lesser Importance than tn
cheap questions which they have vainl
endeavored to bring to the 'front.'!
Having humiliatad and disguised hor
est silver men by their treachery to til
free coinage issue-having done their u
most to make some other question super
cede that issue in public Importance
they will round UP as an elegant QUIT
of cheap political ~ if finally CON
PEELED to take the back track and char
pion the cause which they endeavored
relegate to the rear! They will then fir
themselves in a position wherein the
have destroyed the confidence of sily,
men in the integrity of their purpose
without having regained the friendshj
of the gold wing of their party.

MacQUEEN'S LAURELS

Rev Peter MacQueen is afraid of los
ing his laurels, apparently. He and his
friends are writing all sorts of letters
denying that ne has met with anything
but enthusiastic receptions wherever he
has gone. Here is the latest from
Bronxville, N Y:
"One of the most successful and we'll
attended lectures of Mr.. MacQueen's
was the one given at Bronxville, n. Y,
last Friday evening. 1t will be remem-
bered that member of the church took
issue with Mr.. MacQueen's opinion of
the war, and threatened to break up the
lecture. The lecture was held in Gram
atom hall, and Mr.. Lawrence, one of
the most influential men of Bronxville.
warned the critic of Mr. MacQueen to
keep away. There was not the slightest
i'll feeling, and the audience was with
Mr.. MacQueen from the start. There
was not an empty seat in the hall. He
was applauded long and loudly.
Mr.. MacQueen was greeted at the
station with cheers, and was accom-
panied by a band to his hotel, escorted
by large. body of young men. Mr. Mac
Queen has always been very popular
with the young men of this place, and
they were anxious to show him that Mr..
Smith held isolated views, and that this
church never had the least animus to-
ward him. He was completely vindi-
Gated of any charge of treason which
had been buszed into the ears of his for
mer parishioners"

POSTAL SERVICE STARS.

Carriers in the government postal
service are hereafter to have the length
of their service indicated by stars in
stead of stripes. An order has been is
sued by the head of the department
which would Indicate that the new rule
is to go into effect Immediately. These
service stripes have heretofore been
worn on the sleeve, but it has been
found that the wear and tear on the
carriers coat sleeves is so great that in
a very short time the uniforms become
disfigured. AS a consequence, some of
the carriers in the larger cities have
asked that they be allowed to wear the
stripes on the coat collars instead of on
the sleeves. This would seem to be a
reasonable request and it is probable
that When the summer uniforms are
donned the new order will be found in
effect and the stars of honorary service
will be found on the coat collars of the
carriers in the service.

POSTAL DEPARTMENT DEFICIT.

The annual deficit in the accounts of
the post office department have come
with such regularity within recent
years that the people throughout the
country pay little or no attention to
the matter taking it for granted that
such Irregularities are beyond repair.
This annual deficit is not due to the
cost of transporting first-class matter or
letters, nor is it due to the carrying
of newspapers. but it is directly
traceable to violations in the use of the
second-class rate by concerns who have
no legitimate right to the benefits of
that rate. In his latest annual report,
Postmaster General Smith calls atten-
zion to the fact that more than one
fourth of the entire volume and weight
of matter carried through the malls is
rated and pays as seeond-class matter,
when, under the spirit and intent Of the
law. it ought to be rated and to pay
as third-class matter To guard against
any further loss from this cause. he re-
ommends that legislation be enacted
looking to the relief of the department
from this burden. Matter which is now
annually carried through the mails as
second-class rate involves a sheer wan
ton waste of $4,000 900 or upward a
year The postal deficit for the past
year has been something over Sc 900, 900
and but for this wrongful application
of the second-class rate, instead of a
deficit. there would he a clear surplus
of many millions of dollars 1t is of
the most vital Importance to the de-
partment that this classification should
be at once re-established and laws en-
acted forbidding the privilege of the
pound rate to serial libraries of books,
to papers of an exclusive advertising
character, to sample editions for ad-
vertising purposes and to news agents
for the return of unsold periodicals.
One section, at least of Postmaster
general Smiths report, will be read
with interest by every business man in
Worcester, that is, his recommendation
relative to the contracts for the screen
wagon mail transportation service.
Those who are at all familiar with the
trouble to which Postmaster Greene has
been subjected within the past few
years win realize that such a change
will be to the advantage of the de-
partner. The Postmaster general
recommends to congress that it enact
a law covering both star and wagon
service which shall enable the depart
ment to reject any bid for either of
these classes of service that is not ac-

Golden Einure Nine

Among the magicians and soothsay-
ers of ancient times both the figures
nine and three had a certain amount
of mystery and sacredness attached to
them, and volumes have been written
in explanation Of their meaning in con-
nection with the history of men and
the world, Apropos of this, curious
coincidence is noted in the fact that
nearly all the great mining discoveries
OF recent times have been made in
years ending with the magic figure
nine. Thus the famous gold finds in
California fell in the year 1S49. Ten
years later, in 1859, remarkable discov-
cries OF the same metal were made 81
multaneously in Australia and British
Columbia, causing great rush of for
tune hunters to these points, In 1859
the famous Comstock- find became
known to the world; in 1879 the gold
bearing region around Leadville and
tombstone, Arizona, began to attract
attention, and in 1889 the diggings at
Glover Creek and lower California be-
came the objective points of great null
tltudes of excited and anxious seekers
after sudden wealth. And now again,
at the end of another decade, history
repeats itself once more. The remark
able gold finds recently made at Cane
Nome, surprising in richness and ex-
tent anything yet discovered in the
Yukon district, bid fair to make this
year 1898 as notable as any in the an
nails of gold mining.-Leslie's Weekly

MONDAY, DECEMBER rs, 1899.
CHRISTMAS DAY

This is the day set apart to COM
memorate the old, old festival of
Christmas-tide gIorified by the birth
of the Christ-child and adopted by all
humanity as the time for inaugurating
the kingdom of heaven on earth
through freedom and unalloyed happi-
ness. based upon perfect love and
trust.
1t is the spirit and trust of little chill
dren that most characterize the sea-
son. 1t is permeated by the memory
of that eternal child that came out of
Christmas-time and whose blessed in
fiuences will go on making men and
women better through all the centuries
to come. That angel chant that has
been ringing down through the ages,
GLORY to God in the highest, on earth
peace, goodwill to men," can never
wholly die out, and to every father and
mother in Christendom, it prompts the
hottest and happiest conservation.
To many of us the day seems pos
sessed of a spirit as well as a body
The spirit seems redolent in the air,
in the strains Of Christmas music, on
the evergreen and mistletoe and in the
very pealing of the bells which flood
the world with melody seemingly gar
nered through all time since that sa-
cred night when heaven kissed the
earth and Christ our Lord was born
and angels chanted their sweet re-
frain. For nearly 1000 years this
hymn has continued to ring down
through the changing grooves of time,
and it still echoes and re-echoes over
the weary world at Christmas dawn.
For many days to come the memories
of the festivities, the gifts, the ever
green, the coral and the holly berries
will linger with us, and remain fresh
in our hearts and homes. May its
happy and hallowing influences ever
remain with US. and. like the star of
Bethlehem, shed it's rays to guide hui
manity Alright on earth and point the
way to an eternal home beyond

companied with guarantee from the
bidder under bond that in the event of
the service on the route being awarded
to him, he will reside on or contiguous
to such route, and give his personal SUI
pervision to the performance of the
work throughout the contract term.
This is just what has not been done in
the case Of the screen-wagon service
in this city in recent years, and it is for
this one reason that the service has
been at times crippled.
The holder of the local contract for
the transportation of the mails from
the post-off1ce to the trains and to the
various sub-stations, is a resident Of
Kentucky, and has not been in Wor-
cester at any time during the contract
term, but has had occasion to send his
legal representative north on several
occasions. in order to set matters
Alright. Were some local party to hold
the contract, none of the trouble ex-
perienced in late years would be met
with, and the service would in all
probability be kept up to the mark Of
approval. 1t is to be hoped that such
legislation will be enacted by the pres
.ent congress as will rectify this exist
ing evil and place the service where it
ought rightly to be. Postmaster Greene
has labored for years personally to this
end. and has done perhaps as much as
any other official in the department to
bring about correct understanding of
the matter He is to be congratulated
on his persistency, and it is to be hoped
that his efforts are at last to be crowned
with success.

Merry Christmas /!
THE PARKER CANTATA
"The Holy Child PIeasingIy Rem
dered at Union Church

An unusually elaborate program in
the way of Christmas music was pre-
scented at Union church last night. The
principal feature was the cantata THE
Holy Child" by Horatio Parker, the
solo parts being rendered by Miss Alice
M. Eastman, soprano; Fred 1. Day,
tenor and John H. Howell, bass; as
sisted by a chorus of 30 voices. The
production was under direction of Hen
ry Dixie Sleeper. The accompaniment
was grand piano and organ combined,
Miss Mary L. Starr officiating at the
piano.
Previous to the program proper, there
was half hour of preliminary music,
including selections for piano and organ
and Christmas carols, closing with the
pastoral sonata for organ. G.. J. Ed
wards, violinist, played Becker's era
die song as an intermezzo during the
cantata Other features of the program
included solo for contralto, 20 thou
that tellest," from the Messiah, by Miss
Geraldine Damon and the quartet,
Peace on EARTH" by Mrs. H. H. A.
Beach.
The cantata appeals to music lovers
as dignlfied and beautiful rather than
in lighter vein, too often encountered
in similar works. Mr.. Parker, the
composer, is well known in Worcester
and much interest is naturally felt in
his composition. The words were writ
ten by the mother of the composer.
A principal feature in the church dec
Grafton was a collection of between 500
and 500 potted periwinkles, which were
arranged along the edge of the choir
gallery The chancel was set off with
palms, ferns and evergreens, while at
either side was a clump of small trees.
At the rear of the chancel was sus-
pended an illuminated cross of ever
green, hearing the inscription unto US
is born a savior" in letters of gold.
