THE SENATORSHIP.

1t will be the duty of the general assembly
within the span OF less than month to elect sue
cessor to George Peabody Wetmore, whose term
as junior United States senator will expire on
March 3 next
1t was the sincere hope of the News-Democrat,
as it was of the honest Democratic and Independ-
ent voters of the state that the result of the ballot
ing on November last would be the sending to
the legislature of a sufficient number OF the cand-
dates nominated by the reform forces to constitute
a majority in the grand committee and insure the
election Of Colonel r. II. |. Goddard to the United
States senate.
Although that hope was not realized, it was
not destroyed. There will be in the incoming leg
isature forty-three members who are pledged to
the support of Colonel Goddard and they will,
without doubt, not waver in their allegiance
This leaves him lacking only thirteen votes
OF the ffty-sx necessary TO his success. While it
cannot be said to be probable il is nevertheless pos
sbc that among the balance of the membership
there may be thirteen men who though elected as
Republicans are sufficiently independent of party
control and sufficiently impressed by Colonel God
dard's admirable qualifications for the high Office
for which he was unanimously nominated by pop
ular convention to lead them to cast their ballots in
his favor.
Should that be the outcome OF the balloting
the people of this commonwealth will have reason
to congratulate themselves in having in the highest
legislative body in the land representative of such
conspicuous ability high character and courage.
IT. however such a desirable consummaton is
found impossible there can be no doubt that the
general assembly will decide to elect Colonel Colt
rather than to re-elect Mr.. Wetmore. The present
Junior senator has filled the office for twelve years
a term which a majority of Rhode Islanders regard
as ample especially for man who has revealed the
possession of none OF those qualities the people look
for in their representative in the United States
senate
Mr. Wetmore has achieved little or nothing
during his tenure OF Office. His service has been
colorless and inconsequent, instead Of forceul and
productive. Moreover, he is regarded as the par
ticular pet of the boss through whose dexterous
manipulation he has succeeded in twice securing
election TO the senate.
There is, moreover, feeling that il he is
chosen for third term it will be another sinister
manifestation OF the potency OF 'Wetmore's money
and Brayton's management"
On the other hand, there is widespread pop
ular belief that Colonel Colt is persona grata to
the boss. Ii is remembered that il was the boss
who defeated Colonel Colt for reelection as attor-
ney general when in 1886 he pited the late Benja-

PUBLIC LAND PROTECTION

There is not in the special message relating
to public lands, which was sent 10 congress by
President Roosevelt shortly before the holiday
recess was taken, single recommendation that
should not receive prompt and favorable action.
1t is the purpose of the president to safeguard
public lands against the spoatons and depreda-
tions of dishonest and unscrupulous individuals
and corporations, who under existing laws, secure
title TO them by fragrant chicane and trickery
The president urges the repeal OF what is
known as the stone and timber act in order that
corporations may be prevented from misusing and
abusing the privileges it confers, He would also
have the desert land law SO amended as to render
fraudulent entry impossible in the future.
Perhaps the most important of his recommends
tons is that in which he advocates the leasing by
the government OF all its coal deposits oil wells
and gas veins under such restrictions will not
only insure substantial revenue, but will also pre-
vent waste and delay exhaustion.
1t is his belief that an agreement should be
entered into with railroads To which grants OF
timber land have been made by which the govern
ment shall exercise forestry supervision those
lands and he contends that the custody and con-
troll of the national parks of the west should be
transferred from the secretary OF the interior TO the
secretary of agriculture, who already exercises
supervision the national forest reserves.
Land frauds OF gigantic proportions were ex-
posed during the investigation made recently by
the secretary of the interior, but owing to defects
in the statutes effective prosecution OF the culprits
impossible 1t is the aim of the president TO
have effectively closed every hole through which
land thieves have crawled into the public domain
to ruthlessy plunder and wreck it.
Important as is the protection OF the govern
ments rights in the grazing and corn lands, affect
ed by the homestead law, more important
and necessary is the maintenance OF the forest
of the west and northwest. In such OF these
under government control there are valuable
water supplies that must inevitably be exhausted
unless the trees shelterng their sources are
curely guarded against the reckless ravages of
lumber men.
AS has been said already every OF the presi-
dents recommendations is of the highest possible
moment and congress should lose time i'll enact
ing them into effective legislation so that here
after the public domain cannot be appropriated to
private and corporate uses by rascay methods,
and that sources OF water supply may not be de-
stroyed by the wanton and audacious depredations
of timber thieves

CHRISTMAS.

Tomorrow the whole Christian world will cease
from the labors which the needs of an everyday life
impose upon it, and unite in the celebration of the
greatest and most joyous festival of the year.
Other Christian festivals there are of impressive
sgnihcation, but above them all in grandeur and in
meaning is that which signazes the recurrence of
the anniversary of the birth of the Saviour.
With that birth came the realization of the
hope cherished for centuries upon centuries, that
there would come a Redeemer to mankind
from the thraldom Of sin and the doom of everlast-
ing death Christmas is the festival of hope, of new
life and light and of spiritual regeneration.
1t is the most joyous in the whole Christian
calendar. Its spirit is revealed in that magnificent
and angelic paean, GLORY to God in the highest,
and on earth peace to men of good will"
And in these later days as in the days that
have long gone by, that spirit maniiests itself not
alone in the kindly and generous remembrance Of
those near and dear but also in the cheering of
those whose path has been beset by suffering and
aliction and into whose darkened lives there comes
but seldom save at this great holiday season. the
light and warmth of human sympathy.
Callous, indeed, must he be who, amid the at
mosphere of universal good will and brothery love,
can resist the promptngs of charity and who fails
from out his own bounty to make brighter the
Christmastide for of those who have been the
sport of perverse fortune and human calamity.
Happily, however selfish men may be in their
ordinary use of the abundance which all-wise
Providence bestows upon them, few fail to respond
to the generous impulses which slight con-
temptation of the Christmas festival and its signi-
fcance prompts within them.
So it happens that into every life rich or poor,
high or low fortunate or unfortunate, there comes
some ray of the glorious Christmas light to gladden.
hearts and uplft minds throughout Christendom.

ELL-BANNERMAN'S WARNING

The British parliament, like the American con-
gress, has taken recess for the holidays. 1t can
not be said, however that the holiday spirit was
in any way manifested during the hours preceding
the Propagation. Indeed the tension between the
commons and the house of lords is extreme and
the attitude of the popular branch toward the body
of hereditary legislators, because of the defeat of
the education bill after its potency had been utterly
easily develop into active hostility.
While clash has been averted, the issue m
volved is one, that must be met and disposed Of
sooner later That issue is shall the will of the
great mass of the people of Great Britain be
ruled or set aside by the house of lords in which
are represented only the titled few

Campbell Bannerman in his speech withdrawing

and when that party is emphaticav condemned by

CHRISTMAS CAROLS
IN LOCAL CHURCHES

The observance OF Christmas at tho
evangelical churches OF the city began
yesterday afternoon and last evening
with Sunday school concerts and chill
drens services at nearly every one OF
the places OF worship of these denomina-
tions.
The elaborateness OF the services var
led, but I'm every case they were interest
ing and unusually well carried out. In a
few instances the decorations were on an
extensive scale. The children, attred i'm
white, performed their parts creditably,
apparently thoroughly imbued with the
Christmas spirit.
The programs included as usual songs,
recitations and collective exercises, with
few timely words from the pastor or SUI
pcrlntendent OF the Sunday school. The
interior adornment OF the churches
Christmas greens and potted palms, with
Significant OF the occasion.
Owing TO the fact that yesterday was
the last Sunday In the Advent. which. ac-
cOrding TO the doctrine of the Catholic
church, is intended as a day OF devotion
with reference 10 the coming OF Christ in
the flesh. few OF the Roman Catholic
churches had arranged programs OF spe-
cial music 10 bc rendered on the Sabbath
preceding Christmas. No decorations
were la evidence.
Many of the choir masters Of the Ro-
man Catholic and Of the Protestant Epis-
copal churches have prepared attractive
and elaborate programs for the musical
part of tho Christmas services tomorrow.
