In the Copper Fields.

Wallace w. Mcdowell left Tues
day night for his home in Montana,
after a pleasant visit with kins-
folk and friends in his native
country. Wallace is fast approach
ing the title of a Western copper
king, if not already entitled to that
distinction. He has three big
mines some distance from Butte,
yielding an output of SIS, 600 a
month, besides about eighty or
ninety claims in that section. We
are told he takes more pride in the
little town of Copperoperlis, estab-
lished at the mines, than he does in
the work of mining 1t has a pop
ulation OF $50, comprised princi-
paily of the families of IT'S miners
employed there. There are also
about dozen business houses,
with church and school. One of
these DAYS we look to see him take
the place of the big Marcus Daley,
whose patron he was, and whose
death occurred during the past
winter. He has many friends here
of the days of yore, who are glad
of his success.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOL.

By an enabling act recently
passed by the General Assembly
the city is authorized to call an
election to decide whether or not
bonds for sum not exceeding
$4,000 may be issued for the i'm
provement Of the Public School
building and for other purposes.
That such improvements are
needed and absolutely essential
for the comfort and accommoda-
ton of the school children is con-
ceded.
Not being well informed as to
the financial condition or ability of
the city to increase the rate of
taxation, we do not feel competent
to say such bonds should be issued.
But we do feel justified in saying
that these improvements should
be made as soon as at all practi-
cable and in the bounds Of good
business discretion.
We are told that there are not
rooms enough in the college build
ing to accommodate the children
attending school, and that the
heating facilities are not adequate
to keep them warm; that the halls
have to be brought into requisition
for portion Of the school, with
such poor conveniences as can be
temporarily arranged in them.
If these are facts, then there is
no question about the necessity of
extension and new equipment. OF
course it would be preferable to
have new building, but if that is
not expedient, some sort OF
nnanciering should be done to i'm
prove the old one and build an an
mex, so that the entire school pop
ulation of the city may have COM
Portable quarters during the win
ter school months. There should
be in city the size Of this a com
modious and well appointed pub
lie school building, planned with
comforts and advantages sufficient
for all eligible pupils of the free
school age in the city, centrally
located and in easy reach; or there
should be separate building for
another school in different sec
ton Of the city, giving us two
public schools instead of one.
Union City needs something OF
the kind and needs it soon.
We would also like to see the
construction Of handsome Ii
brary. The latter has already
been discussed by the combined
lodges Of the city. We do not
know, but believe all these i'm
provementsare not impossible, and
will be made at time not far re-
moved.

CHRISTMAS.

Within the next week the
birth of Jesus Christ will be cell
ebrated throughout christendom.
GLORY to God in the Highest,
On Earth Peace and Good VIII"
was the angels song on the ma
tai morn of the Savior of the
world. How unfortunate that
men have not universally put
themselves in sympathy and
harmony with the Angel song.
Some one has said that evil is
perverted good" and the evils
of the "Christ1nas" times is cer-
tainly the perversion of good.
"Gloty to God in the Highest"
the angels say. Instead Of CIV
ing God praise and glory the
world practically forgets Him
and gives full reign to passion
and folly in drunkenness and
tiotous conduct. First of all
give glory to God. "Peace and
Goodwill among men" Surely
Gods purpose was never more
sweetly manifested than in this
song as the multitude of the
heavenly host brought the glo-
tious refrain from heaven, and
yet, during the Christmas holi-
days hundreds of human lives
will pay the penalty of human
hate and revenge. Among all
the reforms being worked and
labored for, we sincerely believe
that Christianity should strive to
reform the celebration of Christ
mas. The reform must begin
and be continued among those
who take upon themselves the
profession of the followers of
Him "who was meek and low1y
in heart"
The trouble of most reforms
is, that men try to reform every
body but themselves. Let the
followers of Christ celebrate
Christmas in the right way and
the world will soon follow.
We would not take away from
the world its greeting-"A mer-
ny Christmas. A thousand
times no. Let the earth be fill
ed with JOY and song and peace
and goodwill. Let the hearts of
the mourners be turned into Joy,
and the sorrows of the earth for>
gotten, but let them be lost sight
OF as the light of the glory of
God comes to us through Jesus
Christ. If We forget our present
heritage Of earthborn woe and
sorrow, let us not forget God
from whom cometh every good
and perfect gift.
We wish our friends a merry
Xmas. Into each home may
peace and Joy come and abide as
a heavenly benediction.
We do not quarrel with limo
cent pastime and amuselnents.
We do not demand that young
people shall become Old folks.
We do not ask every one to turn
preacher, but in the name of
Him whose birth we celebrate,
we do ask that Christmas shall
not be turned in a day of riotous
conduct and shameful abuse.
We wish all a merry Christ
mas In honor of JESUS
CHRIST, whom we recognize
as the SON OF GOD and the
SAVIOR OF THE WORLD.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent.
Washington, Dec. 9 1901.

always an interesting center,
and the capital Of the greatest
nation, even in summer, when
Congress is absent. is the center
of interest to intelligent people
everywhere. How could it be
otherwise? It is the seat of
government of more than 85,>
100000 of people; the home of
the President; the cabinet is
always here, either in person or
by assistant secretaries; the Gov
eminent bureaus having super
vision of education, of agricul
ture, of mails, and Of the multi
tudious affairs of a great nation
are here, as one may say, in con-
tlnuous session. But when Con-
gress convenes, there is a vastly
added interest, and the Congress
which is now in session is doubt
less the most important that has
convened for many years. The
applicants for office are making
the hinges of the White House
doors hot while lobbyists in
unwonted mum bers are working
at the capitol. The present Cons
gress will have to deal with
many new and important ques~
tons. With the close of the
Spanish War. the country en-
tered On a new historical era,
and the Legislative body of the
United States has been forced to
meet many new and perplexing
questions. Congress must leg1s
late for the Philippines. 1t will
take up the question of the pur~
chase Of the Danish West Indies.
1t must consider the project of
constructing a cable from our
western coast to the other shore
of the Pacific, and it must pro-
vide for digging canal across
the Isthmus. A ship subsidy
bill for the encouragement Of
American ship building must be
either approved or voted down,
and the River and Harbor
appropriation Bill will this SEES
sion be further complicated by
having attached to it a measure
for the irrigation of the arid
lands of the west. The ques-
ton of authorizing a great in
crease in the naval establish
ment will also be considered.
The question of excluding the
"yelloW terror from our shores
has again come up. Three ter
ritories, Oklahoma, Arizona, and
New Mexico will be found
knocking at the doors of Con-
gress for admission into the sis
terhood of states.
The citizens of Washington
take Congress very much as a
matter of course. With the old
habitues, Congress is no great
attraction. Distinguished pub
lie men create no sensation.
There are too many of them.
But never IN the memory of any
one living has there been such
at interesting parsonage i'll the
White House as President Theo
dore Roosevelt, and more is
hoped from him by optimists
who believe in popular govern
ment than from any prey ious
president. There are thousands
who would be willing to give
him autocratic power, aud if the
country backs him to the end as
popular sentiment is backing
him now, he will have the
equivalent of autocratic power
and be able to test those reforms
