LAND OF JERUSALEM. .

A critic has thought himself justified
In ridlculng the Book of Mormon be-
cause certain authors of that sacred
record refer to Jerusalem and sur
rounding regions, rs the land of Jeru-
salem. II, he argues, the Book of Nor
mon authors had not been destitute of
geographical knowledge. they wouli
have known that Jerusalem is city.
and not land"
The fact is, that II the would be
critic had rot, himself. lacked en-
tlrely the qualifications OF Just critic,
he would have known that Jerusalem
even today, is not only a city but also
land" That name stands for the
city, but also for the "pashallk." or
government district OF which II is the
capital 1t would. therefore even now
be perfectly proper TO speak of the
land of Jerusalem" I. e. the Pashalik
of that name. Just as II is proper to
speak OF the State Of New York as
well as OF the City of New York. The
Book of Mormon authors seem to re-
fer to the entire region. at one time
known as Judea, under the name OF
THE land OF Jerusalem"
An author on this side Of the globe,
centuries ago. when communication
between the different parts OF the
world was not what 1t Is today. and
geogra phioal knowledge. consequently,
was far from general. would be per-
fectly justified, II writing about some
event IN that part of Palestine. in saying
that II happened in the land Of Jerusa-
lem, since that term necessarily con-
veyed a more distinct geographical
idea than the name Judea. to readers
not familiar with the political division
Of the country but familiar with the
name of the famous capital. Such
substitution OF one name for another,
when technicalities are of less import
ance than the communication of i'm
porant truths, are often made, and
properly, Judea is thus made to de-
note the country that belonged to the
tribe of Benjamin, as well as the part
allotted to Judah, and sometimes II
means the entire country OF Palestine,
Not uncommonly people in the Old
World Will speak of England though
they mean the entire United kingdom.
Such peculiarlties are not uncommon
in the literature-of the various ages
and they are sometimes OF great value
to the competent honest critic.

AGAIN THE FIGURES.

Calling names does not change the
fact, shown by the City Auditors re-
port, that considerably over half of the
sS5o,0OO appropriated. for the water sys-
tenn. stlll h avallabh to apply on new
contracts. Only sS77,Ss32S had been
contracted FOR up to Dec. 10, and Of this
sum. only sl73, SO4,79 had been dis
bursed, leaving total on hand OF
over sS75,000 TO use round figure. We
reitorate this, because IL Is very plain
that the malicious canard about the WA
ter money having been sauandered, Is
being put forth at this time for some
dishonest purpose, which later on will
be fully unveiled by the consprators
themselves The taxpayers should guard
their own interests. At present it is
sufficient to, note the audaclty with
which the falsehood Is proclaimed, that
the water money has been recklessly
spent and the city made bankrupt.

SANTA CLAUS.

The real Santa Claus was, many GEN.
turtles ago, venerated bishop Of Myra.
a city In Lycla. According to the lc-
gend, he was named Nycolas, which
later became st Nicholas, the modern
popular form OF which is Santa Claus.
Many pioua myths center around this
historical character Of the fourth CEN
fury. one is to the effect that inn
mediately after birth, as soon as he
had had his first hath, he stood IN
erect in the tub, clasped his little hands
together and devoutly thanked God
for his being, Another states that
from the first he abstaued from nour-
ishment ON Fridays, that being the
fastday.
Another legend has perhaps, a tang-
bic historical foundation. As bishop
Of Myra ne made 1t his concern to cx-
ercse a watchtul care over his lock
one day he found. to hts horror, three
young girls WHO We're 60 be sacrificed
to u life OF shame because their father.
an Impoverished uobleman. could not
provide the necossaries of life for them.
To save them the bishop went secretly
to the noblemans home ana threw in
10 the window, at the feet " the eldest
daughter, purse of gold. sufficient for
n marriage dover thus insuring her
an honorable home Some time later
he did the same kindness for the sec.
ond daughter. when the bishop came

THE KAISER AND THE CAR.

The kaiser had the opportunity OF
his life to deliver heart to heart talk
when he met the car, and. no one will
doubt that he made use of it. There
were so many tempting subjects to
discuss that it is out of reason to
suppose that the kaiser, even through
consideration for the cars feelings,
could keep away from all of them.
We may imagine him then strutting
up and down his cabin lecturing on
the incapacity of Kuropatkin and end
ing with a flourish and a kick to show
how ne would have treated the "yel-
low peril"
There was also the question of the
cars government at home, and Will
helm may be counted to have given
the bullied and badgered car sound
advice on the subject Of parliaments.
He would probably warn the car to
be cnary how he set up parliaments
! and committed himself to constitutions
| in his realm. Wilhelm himself has
been annoyed by parliaments not lit
| tie. The reicnstag has mad to be hu-
| mored and dealt with frequently, and
| it has made the kaiser tired. Often
he would have been glad to dismiss it
with a swift kick, but it would not
go that way. If his advice is taken
the car will not hamper himself with
such a useless appendage as par
lament.
! When two such dignitaries as the
| car and the kaiser get together some
thing of importance to the people is
always likely to happen. The people
will watch for the fruits Of this mid
night session. They may not be WISH

Although he took his reputation.
He cannot rob us of all sense

And naked must we here abide,
Because, forsooth, he took our clothes
And even takes away our Hyde.

SHAW STILL STANDING PAT.

The treasury deficit was not cured
by Secretary Shaw's optimistic report
at the end of the fiscal year. He ne1d
down the deficit to $24,000,000, but it
keeping. The treasury merely held up
June bills and refused to pay them I'M
til July This is shown by the fact that
the excess of expenditures over re-
ceipts in the first fifteen days of July
was a million dollars a day. The de-
felt will grow larger rather than
smaller, and it is likely, when con-
gress meets, it will be shown that the
government of the United States does
not pay by at least $30,000,0O 1t is
unlikely that congress will abandon
the government, but it will have to
