Waterbury Democrat., 1902-12-20

Senator Morgan sprang a sensation on the senate this week by his state ment that the members of the. 18th l ian canal commission still continued to draw their salaries of $1,000 per month. Without giving the subject much thought the majority of the sen ators had supposed that the commits sion had been discharged when 1t had rendered its last report to the presi- dent, since which time 1t has had no duties to perform, and they were great, ly surprised to learn that the contin- ued existence of the commission was costing the government at the rate of nearly $10o,000 per year. Senator Mor- gan further stated that during the past year the commissioners had spent but two months on the isthmus. but they had received expense funds to the amount of $1,O75,O00. The senator in, troduced a bill limiting the salaries of the commissioners to $5,000 per year, allowing them actual expenses and re quiring that they make their headquar- ters on the isthmus. ii

An important and interesting argu- ment was presented before the su- preme court this week in connection with the famous lottery cases winch are being re-tried and which, if sus, tained by the court, will have an i'm porfant bearing on the trust question. The point made is that the federal gov= ernment has the power to control fn' terstate commerce in it's broadest sense. in this instance, to the extent of prohibiting an individuals carrying a lottery ticket from one state to an- other, the opponents claiming that such carrying is not commerce and the prosecution proposing that all inter- course is commerce in the sense meant by the constitution. If the court sus- tains this argument, whichis set forth by Assistant Attorney General Beck, it will enable the attorney general, un- der the same decision, to prosecute numerous trust cases heretofore sup posed to be without the jurisdiction of the federal government. .~

congress are anxiously watching the allies, although they do not believe that Great Britain will sanction any viola tion of the Monroe doctrine Secretary Hay has instructed the American am bassadors at London and Berlin 70 eA- ert their utmost efforts to bring about an arbitration before the Hague Irl- bunal of the difficulties which have caused Germany and Great Britain to blockade Venezuelan ports. Meanwhile Belgium and Italy have presented claims against the South American re public and the allies doubtless fear that, barred from seizing territory by the Monroe doctrine, it will be diffl- cult for all the creditors to collect the full amount of their claims from the
 bankrupt treasury of Venezuela. II is now evident that there will be no action by congress with reference to the South American trouble before the holiday recess. The subject was brought up in the senate on Tuesday, when, in executive session, Senator Teller asked Senator Cullom for light on the situation. Senator Cullom, as chairman of the committee on foreign relations, briefly outlined the situation and expressed the belief that the allies
 would be able to effect a satisfactory settlement without infringing oil the rights of the United States. Senator Beacon, senior democrat on the same committee, voiced the confidence of his party in the administration and an nounced that there would be no at tempt on the part of the democrats to embarrass the administration. Senator Cullom later told q correspondent that he believed the affair will have pro- gressed to point by the time congress reconvenes after New Years to permit of 3 more intelligent understanding of the situation, and he hoped that the good offices of the United States ill be- half of arbitration will have prevailed by that time. ...:< .#<.

Christmas has become the most ex- says, and many people will at once coincide with him, and, says the writer. it Is question whether a good deal of it's sentiment and significance has not been lost in the lavishness of giving. 'It is to be feared that that which ought to be purely spontaneous has be- come mechanical, and that which ought to be the joyous expression of ones families Christmas brings, instead of joy, weariness and vexation of spirit. The soul has gone out of it, while more and more emphasis has been thrown upon the form. The best way to cure the wrong observance of fes- tival is to go back to It's deeper mean ing. No age has ever needed Christ mas more than ours; no children have the children of this generation; no homes since the first Christmas was celebrated have needed it's sanctifying touch, its Illuminating truth, more than the homes of to-day. Christmas ought to be relieved of its burdens in order that it may be more intelligentiy and enthusiastically celebrated. In our busy life the great festivals of the year ought not to be slurred over; they ought to be made occasions for the ex- pression of the richest life of the home. Nothing interprets home more clearly to children than thorough and Joyful keeping of the great festivals; and when men grow old nothing stands out with greater distinctness in the mem- ory than the songs and shouts and the faces associated with old-time festivi- ties.
