the holiday decorations in the homes
of tbe weather. classes. Unfortu-
nately shapely azaleas covered with
blooms are not within the reach Of the
masses.
The beautiful red rose known as the
Liberty, is abundant enough to lend
its own distinctive charm to the sea-
sons display of flowers. 1t is safe to
say that it will be the bearer, Christ
mas Day, of many delicate sentiments
The Liberty is quite too dear, and far
too beautiful, to become commonplace
Side by side with the pots containing
Jerusalem cherries, which bear a
round, bright red fruit in the midst of
/ pretty green leaves, are pots of red
( peppers. which really are just as pref
ty as the cherries The peppers have
fancy name, but they look very much

form very dainty and appropriate or
: naments. The little orange trees in

] There are ferns in abundance, in
Guiding the hardy Christmas ferns as
well as the more delicate varieties
from the hothouses. Holly and mistle-
toe are among the Christmas green's,
though the holly, for which there is or

| scarce.
1t would not be fair, in speaking of
the flowers that despite cold and snow

! pie by their beauty, not to mention
the hyacinths, cyclamens, carnations,
primroses, bouvardias, and the brave
array of roses.

RATIONAL CIVIL SERVICE METHODS

It is pleasing to see that President
Roosevelt has adopted the plan of con-
sulting the Democratic representatives
and senators from the southern states
where there are no responsible Repub-
lican congressman, and perhaps a
weak and untrustworthy machine.
In some of the southern states the
Republican organization is so defective
that as President Roosevelt knows he
can do little to help the party by obey
ing the irresponsible demands of the
organization. 1t should produce a bet
ter feeling in the south to have this
principle recognized.
We wonder how long the apparently
unanimous feeling for Roosevelt will
continue? The newspapers of all par
ties and all stripes are approving of his
appointments. This approval comes
certainly from no party feeling, it
comes from no policy, because it is a
proof in a way of the fairness Of the
Democratic press of the nation to have
them coincide with Republican papers
over the fitness of appointments in
this way. We cannot expect it to last
until the next campaign, but it is SO
frank and honest and honorable that
the Republican newspapers Of the
country should recognize it now.

TWO EVILS OF THE 8cHLEY mU8s

There are two developments in the
Schley investigation since the an
nouncement Of the decision of the
court. One is the abandonment Of the
proposed naval arch in New York city,
for which half a million has already
been subscribed, on account of the dis
favor in which the navy department
has fallen in popular estimation. The
other is the significant announcement
Of the head-boCmer Of the Schley pro-
paganda. Gen. Felix Agnus, publisher
OF the Baltimore-American and q
prominent politician in and around
Washington, that Schley might be the
next Democrat candidate for president.
The Spy. some time ago, suggested
that there might be something political
in all this hubbub against Secretary
Long and against the "rocking-chair
feet" that has been attacked by those
persons and newspapers who seem TO
think that great navies grow up like
mushrooms without the plans Of en-

The Spy favors the idea of giving
promotion of one grade to the regular
army officers who are retired after a
service of thirty-five years. Those men
have seen service in three wars. If
they have served their country honora-
bly, for such a period of time, they
are certainly entitled to the higher
pay and higher honor of promotion on
the eve of their retirement.

EDITORIAL COMMENT

The action of the Anglo-Amercan
Telegraph Directors in serving on Sig
nor Marconi papers in a suit for tres
pass upon the soil of Newfoundland, in
which they claim an exclusive monop-
oily OF all Geographic rights, is an act
OF FOLLY Of which a well-managed cor
poraton should be incapable in this
age of general business intelligence.
with the legal aspects of their action
we nave no occasion to concern our
selves. They may have the rights
claimed, and the courts may sustain
their contention, although that is
scarcely probable. Assuming, however,
that their monopoly of Newfoundland
for Geographic purposes is so absolute
that one could not there experiment
with flashlights or heliograph signals,
which would be fairly comparable to
what Marconi Is doing, the unwisdom
OF their action in seeking to restrain
him is SO evident that it almost passes
comprehension.-New York Times.
