THE NEW BRITISH MINISTER.

The coming of the new British am
bassador to Washington has been
matter of more than ordinary interest
to the people OF the United States.
Sir Mortimer Durand comes to his new
post with an evident desire to win the
good will of the American people and
to promote the most cordial relations
between his country and the United
States. There was less of the perfume
tory in his address presenting his Gre
dentials to the President than is gen
orally noticed. Though this is the first
visit of the English representative to
Washington it is thought that his occu-
pancy of the office will be conducive to
the satisfactory management of affairs
between the two countries. 1t is said
that Ambassador Durand has for con-
siderable time desired an appointment
to the diplomatic service in Wash
ington, being a strong American SYM
pathizer. AT this time it appears that
Mr.. Durand will be heartily welcomed
into Washington society as represen-
tative of the best type Of the English
| men.
In replying to the address of Am
bassador Durand, President Roose-
velt's welcome was exceedingly felici-
tous. He expressed the sentiment
that the two peoples should ever be
mindful of the ties of friendship and
speech and stirred by the same ambi-
lions for progress in peaceful pursuits,
they should seek to attain harmony is
that the cordial relations that have
heretofore existed between the two
countries may be maintained.

LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEES.

Council Bluffs Nonpareil.- The
work of committee assignments for
the coming session of the Iowa legis-
lature has been taken up tentatively
riott at Des Moines. The work of se-
lecting chairmen for the various legis-
lative committees requires great deal
of tact and diplomacy, and as much
important legislation will come ,:p be-
fore the legislature at its next session,
1t is Mr.. Herriott's purpose to proceed
with deliberation in the matter There
are those who think that the lieuten-

he has any such purpose in view, and
Mr.. Herriott himself denies emphat-
ically that it is his intention to ma
nipulate the committees to advance
any gubernatorial ambitions he might
have. A more tenable theory in re-
gard to the governors early action in
selecting his committeeman is that
he desires to advance some important
legislative plans and that he proposes
to make every reasonable effort to
bring about the passage of such mea-
sures as he contemplates

CHRISTMAS.

Though Christmas comes each year,
it means too much ever to be stale.
In religion, it celebrates the best part
of the Christian faith, a new joy that
came into the world. AS holiday, it
is the season of expansion, generosity,
leading others lives. Cold reason
would say that the best time for max
ing gifts was when necessity called,
opportunity invited, or impulse urged,
but Christmas throws reason to the
winds and opens the arms of faith and
profusion once each year. The shops
are loaded with groteSque and useless
toys-useless, save to give little human
beings joy. Many a poor soul pinches
for the sake of doing some guerdon of
it's love. and is, perhaps, the better for
the sacrifice. Wear this for me, no
words mean more, and of all gifts, as
the American genius said, the best is
a portion of myself. Therefore the
poet brings his poem; the shepherd,
his lamb; the farmer. corn; the miner,
a gem; the sailor, coral and shells;
the painter, his picture; the girl, a
handkerchief of her own painting
Alas, for us, who can give only what
we buy; and yet even that carries our
emotion, for it is chosen lovingly.
Certainly the principal of the widows
mite holds true in Christmas giving as
in charity. for all depends upon what
it means to the giYer. Who has not
been moved by receiving the tribute of
a child--a bit of paper, tooth, or curl,
comic or pathetic,--in a way that he
could be touched by no carelessly
choosing Croesus? So no wagon load
of city roses can carry the perfume
| of the heart as it is borne by the bios
SONS which the giver's hand has GULL
ed or his slender purse has shrunk
to buy. Christmas the season of Civ
ing and rejoicing, helps us all to part
of the spirit after which the day is
named; the child with his joy, the
rest of US with charity and the love OF
man. How few are a hundred Christ
masses in one life.-Coflier's Weekly.

THE GOOD MIXER.

Carroll Herald.-"A good mixer" is
considered by some the best compll-
ment one can pay a practical politi-
clan jp these latter days. 1t doesn't
mean, as one might suppose, that said
politicians knows better than others
how to mix a cocktail, mint julip,
eggnog or any sort of compound
of white apron art. He may have
none of that sort of ability desirable
behind the bar. But a good mixer"
in modern parlance. knows how to jol-
ly the crowd and be a good fellow. He
is all things to all men, and is as
much of saint as sinner, all depend
ing on the wants of the moment. Real

CHAMPION OF PROTECTION.

Among the many speeches that have
>een made in congress during the
present extra session concerning the
Cuban reciprocity measure and the
republican policy of protection none
has been more pertinent than the
recent .deliverance of Congressman
w p. Hepburn. . Mr.. Hepburn gave
as his opinion that the burden of dis
content among the democratic mem
hers of the house appeared to be be-
cause the republican party does not
now propose to 1 reform the tariff.
"Those gentlemen are so very So
fictitious about the duty OF the repub-
lican party" said he lin connection
with the reformation of the tariff. L
have never heard any gentleman on
that side give an adequate reason for
the reformation of the tariff. Why
should we reform the tariff? What is
the purpose of the tariff"
Congressman Hepburn then gave a
poncise and comprehensive answer to
these questions: IA protective tariff
has for it's object the employment OF
labor. the creation of wealth, the bet
terment of society, the uplifting OF
our people. Now if these are some OF
the objects of a tariff, why should we
be so solicitious about reforming the
one we have? There never was time
in the history of the country when la
Dor was so universally employed as
now. Today every man in the United
States who wants to work finds EN-
ployment in the great labor fields Of
the United States at a compensatine
wage" Mr.. Hepburn also showed thai
there never was a time when the fl
nances of the county were in as goot
condition, when there was the same
abundance of money and when the
humblest and poorest had SO large {
share in the accumulations of eacl
year as now.
AS. evidence of the truth of these
statements Mr.. Hepburn offered thu
following illustration of special inter
est to Iowa:

TURKEY PAYS EVEN AT 20 CENTS

Washington Press.-Turkey lasts.
Even at 90 cents pound it pays to
buy turkey. 1t is better the second
day than the first: better the third
day than the second; and family
hardly gets through with the debris
and the soups made from the pounded
bones till the fourth day. A whole
family has been picking at it. The
thing is worked over and over and
warmed up, and nourishes the inner
man and woman. If a turkey knew
how good and profitable he is he would
rejoice to die for us.

long admired the animal and marveled
at its immaculate condition, stopped
her groom to inquire how he managed
to keep the horse always so faultlessly

that the groom adopted the same
method to insure pure white for the
horse that is employed in the laundry
to whiten linen. Wash blue is used
to bleach the horses coat.
