The small tariff placed on the
Porto Rican trade by the Republi-
cans, which raised such a wall OF
sympathy from our Democratic
friends, seems to be no great hard
ship on that country after all, if we
can judge by the immense trade
that is being carried on with the is
land. The trade this country has
enjoyed with Porto Rico has doubl-
ed and quadrupled over that of 81.

with the creamery combine and is
simply an. effort on their part to get
their strongest element of competi-
ton out of the way? We may not
have gone very deep into the inves-
tigation of this matter, but it looks
to us very much like this fight on
oleo is simply an effort of one
strongly intrenched industry,
amounting to- a combine, to wipe
out a new industry in kindred
product, which promises serious
complications.
We are inclined to think that
oleomargarine, even though it were
colored red, white and blue, would
not seriously compete with first
class article of creamery butter; and
if it should replace some of the ran
cid stuff frequently SOLO as cnolce
country, or compel the makers to
produce a better quality or fail to
find a market, we think the consum-
ers would be benefited thereby.
1t seems the lower house of Con-
gress has passed the Grout bill,
which has for its object the destruc-
ton of the oleo industry, with the
expectation that the measure will be
killed by the Senate. We do not
doubt that their wishes will be graf
flied in that line, but it would have
been more statesmanlike for our
congressman to have voted thelr
convictions and not have allowed
themselves to be bulldozed by the
great creamery combine.

thousands of eager children on last
Monday night hung up their little
stockings, firm in the belief that
during the night old Santa Claus
would come and fill them with can
dies and beautiful presents.
With what joyous steps they
bounded into the room where they
had left their stockings to find them
as they expected. Their joy and
gladness know no bounds as they
gave praise to the venerable old
saint. Who could say to them, in
the joyful thankfulness of their
hearts, there is no Santa Claus.
The custom of giving presents on
Christmas is beautiful one, one to
be cultivated and encouraged.
IT'S pleasure for anyone to re-
ceive token of friendship in the
form of some appropriate Christmas
present and know that at least one
person has remembered him. 1t
cultivates the spirit of generosity
and self denial and makes the world
better and happier.
Christmas presents are apprecia
ted not for their money values, but
for the heart tokens they bring,
probably from some far distant one.
The practice in vogue in our larg-
er cities Of giving dinners and other
substantial gifts to the poor on
Christmas brings joy and gladness
to many squalid home where such
emotions are scarcely known.
We notice by our exchanges that
all over the land in the cities, sys-
tematic arrangements were made tc
give the poor at least one good meal
on Christmas day. This charity
we'll begun, will result in more anc
greater charities.
The heart Of the millionaire once
warmed by generous giving and it:
happy results will be stimulated te
still further liberality and the wan
and misery among the destitute will
be materially abbreviated.

Oleomargarine.

There is a good deal of talk, and
to us it seems unnecessary talk, and
kick against the manufacture of
oleomargarine.
It has been decided that oleomar-
parine is a healthful, nutritious ar
ticie of diet and that its manufac-
plese gives employmentto to many peo-
goo and profitable investment for a
crcs1d deal of capital, besides in
vNlsing the price of cattle.

CHRISTMAS TIME WEDDINGS.

w.. H. Brown and Emma A. Reeves
were married at the home of the
BRIDES parents at II O'Clock Sunday
morning, Dec. %, John Lynch, j, p,
officiating.
About twenty-five of the relatives
and friends were present. A fine din
ner was served, and all departed wish
ing the bride and groom a long and
happy life.
On Tuesday, Dec. 25th. at IL o'clock
a. M, at the home Of the brides par
ents in this city, Mr. Charles Sur
brugg and Miss Esther A. Grace were
united in marriage, Rev. w. Fl. Curtis
officiating. The ceremony took place
in the presence of the family and a
few friends, after which all partook of
a sumptuous repast.
Mr. Surbrugg is young and highly
respected farmer of Golden City. Mo,
where they Will make their future
home. Miss Grace is well known here
as one of our best young ladies'; and
while we will greatly miss her, only
our best wishes go with her and hers
to their new home.

and Miss Anna M. John were united
in marriage at the home of the brides
parents, near Austin, Kan, at IL a.
m., by Rev. -. B. Howell of the Unit
ed Brethren church.
After the ceremony and usual con
gratulations, all repaired to dinner
that awaited them, prepared, as it
were, for king and queen and their
guests. And it is useless to say that
the tables, two in number, were load
ed with all the good things that would
tend to make people feel good, not
only for the present but for the fu-
ture. After all the seventy three
guests had partaken OF all they could
eat (especialy Rev. Howell who realized
for once that he had got one good
meal), they all prepared to enjoy them
selves as the occasion demanded.
Mr.. and Mrs. Blaue intend spending
a few days in visiting among US, after
which they will be at home to their
friends in ST. Louis, where the groom
has~sn elegant home awaiting them.
The many friends Of the bride and
groom join in wishing them happy
and pleasant life. And as they tread
the unseen paths of this life, may
their home and lives be such that
their devotions to each other may be
drawn closer and closer together.
And as yesterday was day long to
be remembered let all try and live so
that someday all may be reunited in
one grand reunion in the life that is
to come. A FRIEND.

A Race OF GiAnts.

1t Is reported that a captain in the
British army named Welby has re-
Gently returned from an expedition in
the unknown portions of Abyssinia
and the countries lying north OF
Uganda between Lake Rudolf and the
Nile valley. He visited and lived
among some twenty different tribes,
several of which are quite new to ex-
plorerS, says the San Francisco Chron-
icle. Perhaps the most curious of
these were two races of giants said to
be seven feet in height, living near
Lake Rudolf. Some doubt has been
cast on the veracitg of Capt. Welby in
regard to his assertion as to the height
of those people, but 1t should be re-
membered that the dwarfs discovered
by Stanley were regarded by many
persons as a myth until the account
was verified by other explorers.

Life Growing Longer.

Prof. Mansfield Merriman, studying
the United States census reports since
1850, has discovered a marked and
steady increase in the length of human
life in our country during the last half
century His statistics, which were
presented at the recent meeting of the
American Association for the Advance
ment of Science, show that in 1850 the
median age of the entire population
was 1873 years, while in 1890 it had
risen to 21.4 years. IN 1900 he antic-
ipates, it will be 224 years By
"median age" is meant that which di-
vides the population equally, one-half
being above and the other half below
the median.

Breeches on the Wrong Man.

Bret Harte is so frequently compn-

Breeches,' that he is almost as sorry
1t was ever written as is Col. John
Hay, who would prefer his fame to rest
on more ambitious work. A gushing
lady, who prided herself on her literary
tastes, said to him once: my dear
Mr.. Harte, l am so delighted to meet
you. l have read everything you ever
wrote, but of all your dialect verse
there is none that compares to your
Little Breeches." Il quite agree with
you, madam" said Mr.. Harte but
you have put the breeches on the

How to Take Medicine.

The taste of disagreeable medicine
may usually be removed by a draught
of pure cold water. In some cases this
is not effectual, and then a piece of
dried orange peel will answer the pur-
pose. 1t is good plan to save lit
tie very thinly pared orange peel, and
to dry it in the oven or before the fire
till it is crisp and hard for taking after
medicine. This costs nothing and is
far better than sweetmeats.-Pitt

A Birds sea Resort.

From the Youths Companion: Nat
uralists consider it a wonderful fact
that the Bermuda islands have only
seven native species of land birds.
while not loss than 128 other species
pay visits to the islands. Many OF
these visitors are birds which pass the
summer in the United States, and
utilize the Bermuda islands as a con-
Venient winter resort, thus initiating
some of their human compatriots
Even some American bats follow the
example of the birds by wintering in
the Bermudas.

A MATTER TO THINK ABOUT.

Statesville Landmark
The conduct of the Senatorial primary
has not been such as to commend this
new departure. Much disgust has been
expressed anent the matter by the parti-
sans of both the contestants for the Sem
atorship, and the opinion has been gener-
ally expressed that this experiment would
end forever the proposed State primary
system for North Carolina. Maybe it will
The Landmark has never been enamored
of this primary business, but attention
is directed to the fact that the platform
adopted by the Democratic State conven-
ton last April and approved by the peo-
pie at the August election, directed and
instructed the Legislature to pass law
legalizing State primaries. 1t was the
only way, we were then told, to hold the
Democratic party together. Now is the
Democratic platform to be repudiated?
This is a matter to think about.

sensory nerves are as acute now as thew
were four years ago, and the bruises and
abrasions hurt with the same urgency.
What are we to conclude from the re-
suit? Fortunately there is nothing in
doubt The majorities are as clear cut as
were the issues. There was the cause and
here is the effect. From the statistical
facts one may arrive at one of two decis-
ions. Either the electorate of the nation
is an insensate composite imbecile, for
which the worst treatment it gets in a
governmental way is none too good. or
else the great leaders of the national
Democracy made serious error in dag
nosing the public malady Evidently the
political and legislative prescription of
the Kansas City convention was not
suited to the complaint. Had the advice
of Richard Croker and other reputable
leaders of the East been followed and
the Van Wyck platform adopted, the tale
told by today's press had been different.
But the Eastern men were overruled ::
the George Fred Williamses Of Massachu-
setts and the James X. Jeheses of the
West were accorded the right of plat
form making, and there you have it.
