DEMOCRATIC EYES ON WASHING.
TON


Democratic eyes in Delaware now
are on the Republican Senate in
washington. With. the Quay matter
believed to be but few hours re-
moved from final determination, and
with affirmative action in that case
being the signal for an appointment
by Governor Tunnell,. It is not strange
that much interest should be mani
tested here
True to his chief, Senator Penrose is
expected to make his argument for
Senator Quay on Monday Tuesday
will be devoted TO speechmaking, and
then the final vote will be taken. That
Is the understanding now.
Conservative men who are ON the
ground and whose business IL is to
keep their fingers on the pulse Of the
Senate, express the belief that the SEN
ate will not establish a precedent by
seating a man who presents nothing
but a governors certificate given after
the Legislature had failed to elect. 1t
is said that some senators who are
friendly to Mr.. Quay, shrink from
placing themselves ON record as parties
to the establishment Of such prece-
dent Apart from the legal phase OF
the subject. many OF them fear the ef-
feet on the Legislatures in the several
states. They believe that it will en-
courage candidates who have the favor
Of governors to create deadlocks as ?
means to attaining their political as
pirations by governors certificates.
Whatever the result Of the vote may
be, the indications are that il viii bG
exceedingly close. Some even go SC
far as to predict that 1t will be a tie.
This condition naturally creates Z
feeling of interest and uneasinesl
among Democrats here in Delaware
On all hands It is conceded that Cover
nor Tunnel will appoint either For
mer Attorney General John Biggs o
| willard Salisbury, Ir. The friends O
each are sanguine, but the concensu
Of opinion is that IL Governor Tunnel
should be called upon within the mex
week to make a selection, Mr. Bigg
most probably will be the man. Bot
sides have made a strenuous fight, anl
it now is being renewed all along tn
line. Whether the work of next weol
will change the relative standing of tn
two leading aspirants remains TO b
seen.
But It is one of the anomalies Q
I, Delaware politics to see a Biggs and
Salisbury fighting each other.

Christmas.T Tide, 1900.

Nineteen hundred years have cir.
cled around and fiud the world in
very much the same moral conditions
as at the dawn of the era OF Christ.
Nineteen centuries since the Sermon
on the Mount has been spoken, aud
the spirit Of charity is yet unfelt by
the majority Of men.
just Is it was then, so is it now.
Rivalries, ambition, greed for riches
and social predominsnce animate the
high and low.
No better picture of this human
world can be given than this rather
caustic satire OF an english writer
who compares it to "an Egyptian
pitcher Of tanned vlpers each strug-
Cling to keep its head above the
others.
Men and women may not be worse
now than they were when the Divine
Teacher was yet an infant in Bethle-
hem; but have they, under the uoly
influence Of that new light, reached
the degree Of excellence which will be
the seal Of new order of things7
Christianity, il it were understood,
would mean peace, love, happiness
1t would be just the opposite of the
social order in which we live. Pow.
erty would be ignored, Luxury con-
temned, Jealous distint tons would
disappear, and War, cruel War would
be forbidden bv the universal fat OF
humanity.
But the close Of this long period OF
years fnds us far away still from the
goal of christianity. The Gospel has
been taught; its lessons are under.
stood, but its spirit is unheeded. In
the rush for life, man overlooks bis
Destiny.
A hundred years more will have to
pass before the millennium is reached
Will the Prince Of Peace then really
dwell on our earth? Oh let us
then at this renewal of his birth, pray
that when hundred more christmas.
ses have come, the world may be such
that the Holy Infant can dwell in our
midst and his angels may proclaim,
that peace and good will do reign
among mankind.
