CHRISTMAS.

Christmas is the one holiday that
stands out from all other festive
seasons. 1t is the festival not OF
one nation, but of all Christendom.
1t is commemorative Of the birth OF
the Christian era, by the advent OF
the babe of Bethlehem. 1t is the
only birthday that has withstood
the shock of ages, and is in fact
more widely celebra ted as the cen
turies roll by. And yet the exact
day and even year of the birth of
Christ is a matter of conjecture.
These points have become dim with
the lapse of ages. 1t was not until
the fourth century that the 25th of
December was fixed upon by the
ecclesiastical authority as the date
of his birth. One of the main argu-
ments thatled to this decision was
the meteorological conditions and the
customs of sheepherders in the land
of Palestine. Neither ecclesiastical
nor civil records have been handed
down from cotemporaneous times
affecting this interesting question,
except the four biographical sketch
es known as the gospels, written by
the fishermen of Galilee. Strange
that these unlettered men, who in
picturing perfect human character
accomplished task that baff1ed all
the wisdom of the ancients, should
leave this matter in obscurity.
Christmas was at first observed as
an exclusively sacred festival, and in
its celebration was gradually intro
duced gorgeous display and attract
i've ceremonies. Latterly it has par
taken of social as well as a re-
ligious character, and children es-
pecially are accustomed to look for
ward to it as the season of gift and
merry making. 1t is emphatically
the period of glad tidings today, as
it was to the shepherds of old, and
recognized as such the world over.
How or when the custom originated
of exchanging the familiar compli-
ment of this particular season we
know not. Its appropriateness,
however, as expressive of the good
feeling and well wishes of one toward
another is beyond dispute. And in
accordance with this old-time Gus
tom the Ledger extends its greeting
to its readers, and sincerely wishes
them merry Christmas and happy
new year.

OUR cotemporary intimates that
the Incorporation issue will be tried
again in Jackson at the general
election next year, and that those in
favor thereof will be overwhelmingly
in the ascendant. Distance lend
enchantment to his views" He
fails to state on what he bases his
prophetic utterance. What has
brought about such wonderful
change in the voters. Why will it
carry next year, when it failed to
carry this year? And why submit
the issue at a general election? What
benefit in the way of economy or
any other respect can result from
such course? If it were legal, it
certainly is inexpedient, if not i'm
practicable, and would effect no saw
ing whatever in expense. Further
more, candidates for local offices
would not care to Meet that issue
into the local canvass. The demo-
cratic sheet is talking wildly. We
believe we will be much safer in
predicting that the incorporation
issue will not be mixed up with the
next general election.

MEssRs. TILNAN AND MCLAURIN,
South Carolina's members Of the
United State Senate, have tender
ed their designations to the govern
or Of that state, This action upon
their part was caused by their diff
ferences of opinion as to what is
democracy, Senator McLaurin
claiming that democracy pure and
undeflcd, is to serve the present
interests of the republican admins
tration, with due and becoming re-
gard for the welfare and protection
of its precious otfsprings, the trusts;
and at the same time using all the
influence possible to get the rank
and file of the democratic party to
return to the fold and again raise
the tariff yell, as they did under
the leadership Of Cleveland, and to
thus again serve the interests of
the money power by ignoring the
money question, the trust question,
and many other questions Of vastly
greater Importance than the tariff.
Senator Tilman, differing from his
colleague, seems to think that
democracy of the purest and best
quality is to give some considera-
tion to the interests and welfare of
what our fast growing aristocracy
are pleased to term the common
people," and to protect them from
the oppression that tho trusts are
placing upon them. He further
seems to think that it is not very
good democracy to be republican
and advocate the principles of that
party which are today dictated
and formulated by the trusts and
money power, and intended to
benefit their own particular inter-
ests. Thus there seems to be and
is wide difference in the opinions
of these senators as to what con-
stitutes democracy, and they have
resigned that the question may go
back to the people of their state,
to be answered by them in the
election of their next legislature,
which of course will re,elect the
one that the people say is right,
and will assuredly condemn the
other. The result will be watched
with interest.

WHAT CAN A POOR MAN DO?

There's ii steel trust, an iron trust,
And a trust in lager beer,
And there is many another trust
To burden the glad new year.
There's milk trust, Il pie trust,
And trust in sparkling wine,
There's a plow trust, a reaper trust,
And Il trust in binder twine.
There's an ice cream trust, cake
trust,
A trust in crackers and bread;
And TO sean the catalogue of trusts
Is enough to turn ones head.
There's paper trust, Il type trust,
And a trust on sewing thread,
And they follow you to the grave
yard
With a coffin trust when you're
dead.
There's a nail trust, an oil trust,
And Il trust in biscuits too;
The country simply swarms with
trusts,
Till the air with trusts is blue.
There's IA glass trust, gas trust,
A trust in tobacco as well;
And if it isn't too hot for them
They'll get up trust in -
There's butter trust, sugar trust,
And trust in the power to skin;
And nobody knows how many more
Till the trusts have all come in.
There's envelope trusts and other
trusts,
That will land us under the sod;
And all that is left for the poor man
Is to work and trust in God.
