a YANKEE WARRIOR.


Editor of The Times:
Sir.-I have read with pleasure your in
teresting ana instructive editorial in your
issue OF yesterday upon our Payment TO
Spain
The transaction reminds me of the
plan devised and executed in the matter
Of the payment Of the governments sub
scripti0n 10 the capital stock OF the FIRST
national bank. which may be found in
several government publications. With
your permission 1 will state it here:
The bank was chartered February -.
1871 The act provided that the capital
stock should not exceed Seooe.tOj. The
President was authorized 10 subscribe to
the stock of the bank $4,000 O) for the
United States borrowing an equal sum

But neither the one nor the other did in

tho financial reform demanded by your

toward curing the sicky condition Of the

Mr.. Butler is right. There IS DISPOSE
ton on the part OF some who call them
selves Democrats 20 go the fun length OF
Populism and come out fat footed for
fiat money. government control OF trans
portation and telegraph lines. and all the
rest that Populsm has during IT'S short
life contondod for. We have time and
again declared that there were two
courses left 70 the Democratic party-the
ono TO go back to some old-time platform
such as the platform Of 1892. and plant fl
self firmly upon Jeffersonian principles
the other TO take a step in advance Of the
Chicago declaration and go on 90 Popul SIN
and Socialism. This seems TO us so plain
that no argument IS necessary to prove
the fact.
on the one hand are Populists and So
cialists running along little in ad-
vance and calling to the Democrats to
come on: on the other hand are few
Democrats holding aloft the banner ana
begging the party TO come back TO JUS
old time moorings. The party now oc-
cupics an anomalous position which
cannot hold. II must 80 forward or so
backward. it must turn deaf ear 10
the oppcal Of an Democrats who DO not
believe i'm free silver and listen to the
song of the Populstic siren. or II must
turn a deaf ear TO the siren and come
back TO that improbable position which
fl had occupied since the very iouhda-
ton Of the republic mp 10 the convention
OF 1895. If the conservative men are per
mitted TO have their way the party viii
come back. If the extreme men are TO
rule. the party will soon find itself bag

A STOCKING LUNCHEON.
Novel Idea For a Christmas Party.
With Santa Clans In Evidence.

mover Idea For q Christmas Party.
With Santa Claus ln Evidence.
The following description of Christ
mas luncheon will be welcomed, | am
sure, by those who desire a novel way
of entertaining their friends at Christ
mas time. 1t was given last year by
a young woman to the members of her
club. and as all were full of the mer-
riments of the Christmas season they
thoroughly enjoyed the fun prepared
for them.
The decorations in the dining room,
more especially of the table, were as
original as they were appropriate to
the occasion. Stockings were here,
there, everywhere, the cakes, cream
and decorations as much as possible re-
peating that form.
Covers were laid for Is. In front
of each a jolly old Santa Claus, made
Of confectionery. was weighted down.
not by his usual pack, but by red
stocking containing delicious candies.
The name card, consisting Of square
white card edged with gilt, had an ar
tistic sketch of chimney hung with
stockings; below, a suitable greeting
and on the other side a name and date
Suspended from the chandelier by gay
ly colored ribbons were favors shaped
like stockings, made of pale green silk.
with lace about the top. and exquisite
ly painted sprays of holly adorned each
one. Upon close inspection these "lit-
tie beauties" proved to be sachet bags
Rising from a mass Of green in the
center Of the table was a shapely but
diminutive Christmas tree. lighted by
small wax tapers and loaded with doll
size red stockings. They contained q
simple gift Of some kind for every girl
present, either thimble. letter opener,
pearl handled knife or a stickpin. Be-
tween red candles burning under red
shades low glass vases held two or
more carnations, placed at diagonal
corners. wreathed In smilax. Large,
sparkling cut glass bowls were piled
with fruit and flowers, and in nests Of
green spun sugar baskets resembling
stockings were filed with bonbons or
sailed nuts.
Later, after the delightful repast,

had a darning contest. They were
given needles, darning cotton and
stockings with holes cut in them and
told that they could have Is minutes
to show their skill in darning. When
the time was up. vote was taken
to see who merited the prize. the lucky
young woman receiving a beautiful
calendar. For the knitter who did the
poorest work there was a photograph
Of stocking with a big hole in the
heel and a man gazing at 1t with up
lifted hands. plainly showing his dis
gust at the sight.
The guessing game was extremely
amusing. A grotesque looking stock
ing. stuffed full and immense in size,
was laid upon the table. and the guests
were Informed that they were to tell
what was inside by merely feeling Of
it. Each one was given a sheet Of pa
per and pencil and was allowed Is min
utes to record guesses. The prize for
the most correct list was the stocking
and contents, and as the stocking was
full Of com.cal toys of all kinds the
opening Of 1t caused peals of laughter.
