THE HOLY SEASON.

We arc about to celebrate the last
Christmas of the nineteenth century.
As tie ages roll on, increasing beauty
and attractivencss seem to cluster
about the glorious festival.
May it not he that in the effort for
outward form and pleasure. the holy
veneration rightly belonging to the
season, is sometimes forgottcn? The
pessimist claims that the sordidness of
the world is on the increase. The opti-
mist. in his vision, secs grand opportu-
mites grandly met. With the growth
of Christian civilization, the kingdom
OF God and the brotherhood of man e
extended. Life yields its richest bless
inps under the influence of the Church,
and the recurrent celebrations of the
Church's festivals hindle afrcsh the
hope and love of struggling mankind.
The modern Interpretation of Christ
mas is too practical. The centuries
have bequeathed rich legacy of legend
and song, that casts a halo of glory
about the holy season. May all our
readers feel it's inspiration!
"IIark throughout Christie ndom joy bells are ringing;
From mountain and valley. DER land and DER sea,
Sweet choral melodies pealing and trilling.
Echoes Of ages from far Gal.lee;
Christmas is here,
Merry old Christmas,
Gift bearing, heart touching. joy-brnging Christ
mas,
Day of grand memories, King Of the year.

GEN. III ARRISON'S
GREAT ARGU MEN is.

The address of cx President Harrison
at the University, of Michigan says the
New York World, "is in some respects the
ablest and most conclusive argument yet
made against the paradox of imperialism
in republic. 1t will tend to convince
even Mr.. Mckinley that this question was
not settled by his election.
"Attacking the assumption that Porto
Rico and the Philippines can be governed
outside the Constitution, General Harri
son says: If the act of annexation does
not carry the Constitution | can think Of
nothing that does And he declares that
ii government of unlimited executive
powers is not an American government
Going directly to the root of the matter,
General Harrison affirms that the United
States cannot take over or continue to
hold territory whose people are hostile to
our own Government
1T is not, however, he well says, merely
a constitutional question; it is "a question
of the moral law, of conscience; we have
no right to Judge the capacity for self
government of the people of another ma
ton or to take and annex their lands.

NEW STATES.

ut has all along been assumed .
says the Boston "Herald," that Okla
homa would come in as a strong Re
publican State, and so she would if
she came in alone. But it turns out
that the Indian Territory, which has
been settled largely by people from
Texas, Arkansas and Missouri, is
Democratic, and so heavily Democratic
that it is thought she would swamp
the Republican majority of Oklahoma
if the two were united. The Republi-
cans would naturally prefer two States,
one Republican and one Democratic,
to a single State that is Democratic
aud politics generally controls i'll the
admission of new States. This rushing
in small Western States on account OF
their politics worked badly for the ma.
ton, however, when the currency qr"s
tion came up, and the case Of Nevad;
is a warning. as we'll as that of Utah
also, if what is heard about the Nor
mon Church there is reliable"

Ex-President Grover Cleveland con
tributes to this weeks issue of the
Saturday Evening Post, of Philadc-
phia, an extended article on the de-
feats Of the Democracy and their
remedy.
Mr.. Cleveland begins by reviewing
the history of the party, and he dis
cusses its defects since 1864 in detail
In taking up the question Of the par
tvs present condition. lie says that its
success in 1892 was so decisive that
long continuance of its supremacy was
anticipated Then came 1.-THE falIacy
Of free silver and populism." Mr.
Cleveland proceeds:
THE elimination of Democratic woe
was reached when its compact with
these Democratic forces was com
plete, and when our rank and file were
summoned to do battle under banners
which bore strange symbols, and were
held alot in unfa miliar hands. The
result of such a betrayal was fore
doomed"
