Merry Christmas.

To all its readers, this morning, the
Journal wishes Merry Christmas.
This is the dearest as well as the old
est holiday Of them all. Around il
cluster the most sacred associations of
childhood leaving a tender influence
that fingers while life remains. 1t is
the one holiday that can be called uni
versal for it is celebrated on every
continent and in every cline where the
story of Christ has gone. 1t is the
one holiday that is sure of perpetuation
as holy day with little danger OF
proclamation. May the message of the
happy Christmas time come to US all
and its true spirit pervade all our
hearts Hasten the time when all the
world. like the wise men of the East,
shall be guided by the Star of Bethle-
hem. and shall hear the song that the

The "Grea. Men" Controversy.

The London Mails philippe to TIE cf-
feet that the United States has no
public man of conspicuous merit" to
which reference has been made in
this column, has attracted really
more attention in this country
than it has deserved. One of
the best answers to this London
writer who thinks that England holds
all the brains found in the ranks Of
statesmen, is that OF the Kansas City
Star. This American editor in reply
ing to the Mail asks what England
has to show in the line of great states
men ard compares some of our leading
Americans with them. He says the
list of men considered great by Eng
land might be expected to include
tie Marquis of Salisbury, Joseph
Chamberlain and A. J. Balfour from
the present cabinet; Lord Roscbery,
John Morley and James Bryce from
the opposition; and Lord Curzon, vice
roy of India, Lord Cror1er. British
agent in Egypt. and Sir Alfred Milner,
governor in South Africa. in the
foreign service. In commenting upon
there is no man in the United States
who occupies position exactly similar
to that Of Lord Salisbury, but Presi-
dent or ex-President Cleveland are
abler men. and it is pointed out that
Salisbury's settlement of the Ncnezu-
elan affair. for which nc received so
much credit. was dictated by Glove
land. AS q practical man of ability
the English premier is outclassed by
both Thomas b. Reed and ex-Presi-
dent Harrison. Joseph Chamberlain
may be matched by Richard Olney,
Ba1four is no more brilliant writer
and publiciSt than Senator Lodge. and
the Kansas City critic believes that
Carl Schurz would be a brilliant
match for John Morley. while Theo-
dore Roosevelt would be more than
match for James Bryce. In the
foreign service we match General
Wood Of Cuba against Lord Curzon Of
India or any other man. Judge Taft Of
the Philippine commission has shown
as much ability as Sir Alfred Milner.
and Ambassador Choate is matched
with Lord Cromer. But all these are
specialists, and England has no man
who is the equal of Senator Allison
in comprehension and thorough
craftsmanship. The trouble with the
London Daily Mail is that it is so
prejudiced it can see nothing in the
world worthy Of notice unless it bears
her ma jesty's crest.

Iona Live Santa Claus.

4 grabbed. d.anarrow- minded old pessi-
mist ont in Chicago who. by some
blunder, is superintendent Of Sun
day-school, he's demanded the resigna-
ton of two young lady teachers in the
school because they spoke kindly to
their little pupils about the coming of
Christmas and Santa Claus. They
are teaching a lie exclaimed this kind
old gentleman, ''and must be pun
ished," Happy it is for the Christian
world that few men of this anti-Santa
Claus caliber are in it. Shame,
shame on the man or woman who
would deprive the child world OF Santa
Claus. This dear old myth is sarcti
fed and justified by centuries of eX-
shows the spirit that would deprive
childhood Of every happiness ana IA
ture of every beauty.
Who is there that does not count
among the most precious memories of
the past the happy days when Santa
Claus was a living reality to the young
heart? Who has not hung up his lit
tie stocking in full faith that old Santa
would come down the chimney in some
mysterious way and fill it? 1t is non
sense to talk about parents telling
their children a falsehood and teach
ing them a lie bv surrounding Christ
mas with that beautiful myth which
does no harm and gives the innocent
little ones n world of pleasure. The
children get into the matter of fact
world all too soon. and it would be an
everlasting pity to shorten their bliss
full days in wonderland. The man
who commits no greater sin than en-
couraging childish belief in this sweet
old myth need not worry about the
hereafter. Long live Santa Claus,

y Washington correspondent says
that a proposed amendment to the con-
stitution giving Congress full power to
enact laws on the subject of marriage
and divorce Will be presented by the
Judiciary committee and pressed at this
session. Much to be desired indeed, is
uniformity of legislation on these most
important matters. 1t would do away
with much confusion that now exists
and correct many abuses that menace
our social system. But what kind of
uniformity" would result? Would it
please or disappoint the rcformers?
Doubtless q national law that would be
wholly just and satisfactory is an i'm
possibility, but almost any kind Of uni
formity would be better than present
conditions.

was aged q years, had brown hair

in the world is the matter with the

AS an instance of the vitality of a cat
let us relate what befell Steuben
feline recently. \ rat trap was set in
cellar. 1t was one of those that do ex-

The cellar window was out so the fam!-
ly cat went into the cellar. He was
caught by the neck in this trap il
seems and went out the window with ii
on his head. In time the cat was
missed and soon the trap was missed
too. The family wondered If they
might not have gone together and went
far enough TO look around the house
and barn for the remains but could
find nothing. In about three weeks
time, however the cat came back
with the trap still on his head. He was
mere ghost of his former self and
could not, when discovered, stand up at
all. However. when the trap was re-
moved he began to sing. During the
time he was gone there was snow,
rain and lot of zero weather. There
was nothing in the house too good for
that cat after that.

w. II. White, of Moline, was held
up by two footpads on Sixth avenue

his gold watch and a s. bill. The
Rock Island police were notified of
the robbery, and Officers Pearson

rested two strangers giving their
names as Joseph Wilson and Charles
Edwards, in the Rock Island railroad
Yards. Each had a revolver, but
neither the s. bill nor the gold watch
was found in their possession. There
was no evidence to connect them with
the robbery, and each was fined 800
for carrying concealed weapons. They
went to jail.
Charles Palmer, claiming to hail

ASKS IS BUILDINGS
Congressman Marsh Endeavoring
to Do the Handsome for
His District.
FAvoRs MORE EQUAL DISTRIBUTION
Instead of Spending $500, 900 in
One Town, He Wants II
Split Up.

If Congressman Marsh could have
his way public buildings would spring
Iup in his district like mushrooms.
Yesterday he introduced 16 bills in
congress which provide for a public
building in as many towns in his dis
trict. but the Illinoisan is quite mod
est when the question of money is
concerned. as the Is buildings will
cost but $195, 900. This is much less
than many members ask for one build
ing.
II all of these measures should be-
come a law Clayton, Colchester. La
harpe, Augusta. Oquawka, Bushnell,
Roseville, Hamilton, Camp Point,
Kirkwood, and Alexis would each
have public structure costing $40 :
900, while Carthage. Warsaw and
Mount Sterling would have buildings
costing $15. 600 each, and Macomb a
structure which would cost $25, 900.
There is no certainty as to whether
any legislation of this kind will be
passed at this session. although there
is tremendous pre- ssure being brought
to bear on the leaders. who have NJ t
vet made up their minds what will be
done in this direction.
Favors New Policy.
In introducing these measures, Con-
gresham Marsh is carrying out what
he believes should be the policy of the
government in regard to public build
ings. He believes that instead of
spending 100000 or $500. 900 on a
pu bile building in a small town, that
amount of money should be divided
up into small amounts and give 20 or
IS towns buildings costing from S1O.-
600 to SIS, 1000.
He contends that buildings suffi-
cient for the need of the government
in the smaller cities could be con-
structed for these figures and the
pressure for this kind of public i'm
provement would be greatly reduced.
