THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH.

The most elaborate preparations
were made by the Christian church
people, the music and drilling of the
children being in charge of Miss
Annie Laurie Norris, who is peculiarly
fitted for the task as il is in line with
her profession. A cantata, "How we
Waited for Santa Claus" was given
by the choir and school children.
The curtain rose on home scene with
six small Misses arrayed as old danes,
knitting. Then u brigade of boys
entered and drilled, after which Miss
Nellie Reed, as nurse sang lullaby,
rocking a baby, tiny Ruth Mcdowell,
in her arms. II was very pretty.
While the gathering awaited the com
ing of Santa Claus Jack Frost entered
and put them all TO sleep, when Miss
Ollie Jones sang solo. Santa en-
tered and awoke the children with
song and distributed the presents and
treats. Numerous well drilled Choir
uses and songs made the program
musical treat.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
SOME OF THE THINGS CONGRESS is
DOING IN THE SHORT SESSION.
Several Important Measures which
Are Now Under Conaidcru'ion--N
Gny social season az NVcU az ~
BusS Time ut the Capitol.


NAsufNGuoN. Dee ut would seem
that the closing will be as important
aud interesting as were the opening
days Of President McKinlcy's first term
at the White House. When President
Mckinley was inauguratcd March 4,
1897, the country was in condition of
commercial paralysis, and the people
threatened n revolutionary movement
against Spain. After the work of the
extraordinary session of congress call
ed by President Mckinley for the en-
actmcnt of new tariff law and the
authority which brought us war with
Spain and the long train of exciting
events which gave to our country the
greatest prosperity ever enjoyed by
any people in the world and within 80
days of actual fighting brought us per-
feet success in arms and the acquisi-
tion of Porto Rico, Cuba and the Phil
ipplncs. it would seem that there was
little more for an administration to do
IN order that it might be crowned with
the greatest possible success. But it
appears that President McNinlcy's first
four years Of administration have much
more in store.

The second term of congress is al
ways brief 1t opens ON the first Mon
day IN December takes ten days of
holiday recess and must, by limitation
Of the constitution, expire mt noon on
the 4th of March This gives only
about ten weeks for actual work. There
are all the great appropriation bills to
be passed vet and some of the most inn
portant legislation that has been pro-
posed since the advent of President
Mckinley. The great tariff law Of
1897 has performed wonders in bring
ing prosperity 1t secured protection
to homo industries, and the CONNER
cial reciprocity provisions made it pos
sible for the president to find many
new markets for American products.
The currency bill fixed the gold stand
ard and placed us among the foremost
Of the civilized countries. The national
banking act perfected our financial sys-
tenn and refunded the government debt
on the lowest interest basis enjoyed by
any people on the face of the globe
= per cent.
And now there are before congress
two of the next greatest measures for
the future prosperity of our country
ever proposed-the merchant marine
and the Nicaragua canal bills. II the
government will only secure the estab-
lishmcnt of a number OF new steam
ship lines to our old and all OF our new
markets, securing steady and reliable
sailings and low freight rates, we will
not only hold all of the markets we
now have, but viii be able to enlarge
them and increase our exports. which,
remarkable AS IL may appear were
larger during the past three and n half
years than during all the previous ex-
istence OF our republic. 1t has become
necessary, however, in order to hold
our great export markets and keep up
prices for the products of the factory,
the mill and the farm OF the United
States, to provide for the shipment OF
our surplus on the bottoms OF Ameri-
can registered steamships.

The same Republican principle that
secured the adoption of the present
tariff law and the financial bill which
fixed the gold standard and secured the
greatly enlarged circulating medium
ana brought about the refunding Of
the national debt AT per cent promises
to secure the adoption of the merchant
marine bill, which will undoubtedly
open up many new markets and give
our farmers ana manufacturers great
advantages. The principle involved in
the upbuildlng of the merchant marine
is identically the same as that involved
in our American system of tariff pro-
lection. 1t is said that from 10 to 20
times more people will he directly in
terestcd in the building Of new lines of
merchant steamships and their mainte-
nance than were interested in certain
articles protected by the tariff bills of
1883. 1890 and 1897. which protected
the Infant Industries" The tin plate,
the plate glass and the beet sugar in
dustries were established and fOstered
entirely by the large duties imposed
upon them by Republican tariff laws,
and it has been proved by 80 years OF
eNperence-organized efforts constant
ly made ever since the civil war-that
our own lines of steamships cannot be
established or maintained except
through government support until
there have been found for a period OF
years steady markets for our products,
markets which will give profitable EN-
plOyment to our steamship lines.

After the adoption OF the merchant
marine and the Nicaragua canal bills
the Republican party and the Republic
an administration and congresses will
have faithfully fulfilled all of the prom
ises made in the platforms adopted at
st. Louis and Philadelphia and the sub
sequent presidential campaigns There
is little doubt of the early final adop-
tion of the merchant marine bill The
adoption Of the Nicaragua canal bill
has all along depended upon the rati-

JOhn McbOhdlu, drunk 70.
Tom King was on the linoleum again
today and his plea 20 the charge Of in
toxication was guilty.
ut seems" said the judge, that you
win persist In coming here: when did
you get out?"
"Thra wakes ego twas" replied Tom.
well II will be So and If you don't
stay away III raise the price"
Emma Jackson, a colored woman, was
represented by Judge Twomey, who
pleaded not guilty to the charge Of
using abusive aud profane language.
The complaining witness was Mrs. Ella
Phelps, (also colOred) who asserted most
vehemently that the jackson woman
called her "a dirty 'hanklcher' headed
niggah, an old COW and at the end Of
her speech, disgrace to Franklin ave-
nue."
Are you sure she called you these
names?" asked Mr.. Dlehl.
Yes. sab. she called me a COW and
a nlggah; 1 didn't mind the niggah
but I'm not no cow"
Then Mrs Phelps grew reminiscent
and proceeded TO tell how once upon a
time she prevented Mrs. Jackson from
killing her own daughter. Eyes and she
picked up broom stick and dared me
TO come on" concluded Mrs. Phelps.
"Jamesie," Mrs. Phelps little boy took
the witness chair and testified that Mrs.
Jackson certainly called his mother "a
Observation-Disclosures, and an old
cow"
His testimony was corroborated by
clifford Day, small boy as black as
midnight. He added, however, that Mrs
jackson called Mrs Phelps "a dsturber
OBJ Franklin Avenue street"
Mrs. Jackson took the stand in her
own behalf and denied calling the 9TH
or lady names. She said that the row
was occasioned by her asking the
Phelps boys not TO make so much
noise because they disturbed one OF her
dodgers, who worked at night and slept
during the day About dozen WITT
nesses for the defense were examined
and when the court could get In word
said There is no need Of argument
IN this case IL is another scene Of
much ado about nothing, and / would
suggest that II you people (colored pop
ulation) must live In the same neigh
borhOOd, you had better join n Bible
class and follow its teachings, love one
another and not fight"
The defendant was discharged. amid
great rejoicing among her friends.
