I! Go back to the time when you first
read that poem, when you first felt the
Joys of the waking hours on Christmas
rnoraing. and think well Of the move,
ment Of certain iconoclasts who would
destroy tho myth OF happy childhood
Santa Claus. What In this world is to
be gained by It? It IS a simple faith,
and all too soon the child that grows
to mans estate learns to doubt. Moth
Ing IS more precious to old age than the
memory OF the expectancy and reali-
cation OF Santa Claus bountles on
Christmas morning. Old age can smile
over the harmless deception. but the
recollections Of the days OF youthful
credulity and confidence are the sweet
est that can ever be recalled.
i The most touching defense OF the
myth Of our youth Is found in the Phil
adelphia Press. which paper takes UP
the 5cudgels for Santa Claus in the fol-
lowing manner: There Is Santa Claus.

THE lNTELLIGENcER.
WHEELING. DECEMBER ea. 1900.
lEx-Presiden,t Harr,is,o,n's Views.

I Some days ago ex-President Harrison
was pleased to differ with the present
administration with regard to its ideas
OF the application Of the constituents
$ the government OF the Philippines and
Porto Rico. The remarks he made In
. his address, contending that the con-
stitution followed the flag under all
circumstances, do not tally with some
of his earlier announcements on the
: subject, and 1t has led the Cincinnati
Times-Star to resurrect his recommen-
dations to the senate In 1898 accom-
panying the treaty between the United
States and the provisional government
OF the Hawaiian islands. In his mess
age to the senate on that occasion he
asked for the ratification Of the meas
ure, and article III OF that treaty reads
as follows: ~
Congress shall, within one year
from the exchange Of the notifications
OF this treaty. enact the necessary leg.

VIM. e. Curtis, himself Repub-
lican, in the Chicago Record reviews
the Kew York situation for his
pap per as follows:
The Democrats are gaining con-
hdence in Bryau's election. / do
not mean the gentlemen at head
quarters, who furnish "hot air
without cost or limit and assure
you in whispers that they have re-
ceived reliable, confidential reports
from everywhere that everybody is
going to support Bryan and that he
will have more votes than he wants,
but refer to the outside man who
doesn t know much about it, but
has opinions based upon what he
hears from his friends in different
parts of the country. The Repub-
licans are losing confidence, too.
They are no longer taking it for
granted that Mckinley is invincible
and scoffing at those who intimate
that he is not. The betting is rum
ming toward Bryan also, and that
is the best barometer of the public
sentiment. Two months ago the
Mckinley rooters were offering
odds of 4 and 5 to l. When Bryan
abandoned the silver issue the bet
ing was 3 to l and then to 2H to
l, and the odds have kept getting
smaller with every large bet until
now the Mckinley men will give no
better than 2 to l. Mr.. Croker has
invested 100000 of his hard-earned
savings in bets that average 21z to
l, sothat if Bryan is elected he will
Win quarter of a million dollars,
and that is an inducement for him
to be loyal and carry the state of

He is also encouraging his friends
and heelers to bet also.

The political situation in Chris
tian county is improving as the
issues of the campaign become
more clearly defined. Among the
1000 names already signed to the
pledge at Democratic headquarters
are quite a number Of the Gold Dem
ocrats who refused to vote for
Bryan in 1896 and some Brown
Democrats who voted against Goe.
bel last year. There are also
several voters heretofore known as
Republicans who have enrolled
their names. In 1896 there were
about 800 anti-Bryan Democrats
and in 1899 probably half as many
aDti-Goebel Democrats. In some
instances the same men are in
cluded in both classes. Probably
thrce-fourths of these voters will
this year vote against government
by force and assassination. The
=
others have long since ceased to be
Democrats and have allied them
selves with the Taylor
crowd in state and national poll
tics. In the election last year many
colored voters for the first time
voted the Democratic ticket without
being asked to do so. Some promi-
nent negroes in Hopkinsville have
registered as Democrats. 1t is es-
timated that at least 100 colored
men voted for Goebel and it is be-
lieved that even more will vote the
Democratic ticket this year. The
Democratic gain last year in Chris
tan county in 27 precincts was 725
votes over the 1856 majority for Nc
Knley. The Republican majority
was only 655, with 500 Democrats
not voting, With a full vote this
year the campaign committee is
very hopeful of reducing it to 500
votes. The known changes alone
justify this claim, even on the same
vote cast last year.

II don It know of purer piece oil
hypocrisy than the hypocrisy of the
Republican who defends the Sulu
treaty and condemns the constitu-

provided that the slaves can buy
their liberty at the market price
when they earn enough to do so,

find there is a race question in this
country that will require all the
patriotism and the intelligence of

is it reason why you should drag

THREE FIRES
Within Two Years, Had Farmer
w. II. Sims.

The large tobacco barn of Mr..
w. H. Sims, who lives few miles
west of Cerulean, burned one night
last week. The building was well
filled with a good quality of the
weed and Mr.. Sims loss is about
two thousand dollars. He had
finished curing the tobacco the
week before, but built fire to dry
out the barn, when the weed in
some way became ignited. He had
no insurance and the loss is a
heavy one. A lot of machinery
stored in the building was also de-
stroyed.
Mr.. Sims has suffered by fire
three times within the past few
years. About two years ago his
dwelling burned, entailing heavy
loss. Shortly after that time he
had a stable and contents, includ
