MERRY YULETIDE.

This is the merry Yuletide sea
son, when all the joys of life center
round the hreside. The members
of the family, if at all convenient,
gather at this time under the pa
rental roof. To enhance good feel
ing, presents are bestowed and
greetings sent to absent ones. The
home, be it ever so humble, is the
one sweet spot to which all eyes
are longingly turned, and from
which all happiness radiates.
The proud boast of the old Eng
lish common law was that "a mans
home is his castle" The four
winds of heaven might blow
through its chinks and crannies,
but the king himself might not
cross its threshold unbidden. Only
the laws stern necessity in pur-
suit of crime could authorize an un-
welcome intrusion,
The sanclity of former times still
scrupulously surrounds it, and the
sacredness of its portal has been
but enhanced 10y the advancement
of civilization, The modern home
needs neither towers, battlements,
nor bastions to protect it from the
assaults of the powerful. The
humblest citizen to defend his
lowly snack can invoke the protect
ing arm Of the whole nation.
The governments OF all the
world foster the love OF home.
| Liberal laws are enacted with this
end in view. The public domain
is generously bestowed upon bona
fde settlers The various states,
without, we believe, a single ex-
ception, have exempted the homes
from seizure for even a just debt.
In short, the protection and sacred
ness of the home goes side by side
with that Of the person. 1t is the
commendable desire of every
worthy citizen to be the owner Of
his own home in fee simple, and
to encourage this desire have all
these bcnehcient laws been en-
acted.
But God must be in all to insure
the full measure of happiness that
NAV therein be found. In our
early Sunday school lessons we
were taught that God was every
, where, and, spiritually considered,
= this is true. Yet it is not in this
2 sense that the expression is used.
4 Nor in the sense that God shall be
present is embroidered notices or
0 the wall; but that the spirit oi
f Christ-which is peace, justice
o love, forbearance, temperance, pa
o tience-shall fill the bosoms o
a those therein dwelling. Fot
= where the spirit of Christ abide'
b not, the spirit of evil is sure to in
n trude. In the spiritual and mora
: life there are no empty houses.

KICK ON CANAL. NEWSPAPER,
Question Of Propriety of Issuing Pub.
LEGATION Comes Up in Committee.

IiCatIon ZONES UP IN committee.
Washington, Jan. 19.-The question
Of the propriety of the isthmian canal
commission issuing an official news
paper for the dissemination of infor-
nation about the progress of the work
at Panama caused a somewhat lively
discussion in the hearing before the
senate committee on in%teroceanic ca
mails yesterday. There was an echo
Of the debate in the senate two a
ago, when the literary bureau conduct.
ed by James Bucklin Bishop. the pres.
ent editor Of the Canal Record, was
roundly scored as a government in.
%stitution that had no right to exist,
and which eventually resulted in a
promise to publication in the
lace of an amendment by Senator Gull
berson abolishing the bureau. Sena.
tor Culberson yesterday intimated
that the promise had not been kept.
Col. Goethals told why the paper
had been established and said that it
was now being run to show the men
on all parts OF the line what was being
done at other points.
1T does good" said the colonel, "be.
cause 1t keeps the men informed of
oficial orders and fosters a spirit of
rivalry as to the amount Of work that
u daily accomplished at different
points,"
Senator Flint expressed himself as
being entirely in accord with the Ca.
nal Record proposition. Col. Goethals
promised to deliver to the committee
some figures concerning its cost.

CONSPIRACY WAS
MATCHED IN PARIS
France Sent Warning of Pos
sible Attempt to Destroy
the American Fleet.
MANY REGARD AFFAIR AS MYTH
Brazilian Police Have Arrested Several
SuspeCts-Ship Sails With
Explosives.

Paris, Jan. 22.-Reports cabled from
Rio ,Ianeiro that the Brazilian authorl-
ties were warned from Paris of a pos
sible attempt to blow up the American
battleship feet while in the harbor
there are true.
Some time ago certain suspicious in
dicating the existence OF a plot to de-
stroy the whole Or a portion of the
feet, either at Rio Janeiro OF in the
Straits of Magellan, were aroused
here and naturally communicated to
Rio and Washington.
4 chartered steamer was reported
to have conveyed explosives for the
use of the conspirators to Rio Janeiro,
arriving there about the middle OF De-
cember, and John Fedher, whose name
is mentioned in the Rio dispatches,
was one OF the men whose names
were revealed here as implicated in
the conspiracy.
Startling but Weak.
The alleged plot is supposed to have
some rather startling ramiicatiOnS,
but the evidence along this line is far
from conclusive and rests chiefly upOn
the statement of an individual whose
record was subsequently proved to be
anything but creditable. Consequently
the whole affair is regarded with much
skepticism and indeed the presumption
has been raised that it may have been
a deliberately conceived scare.
In any event it is now believed here
that if the plot actually did exist the
timely warning and precautions taken
have completely frustrated the plans
of the conspiratOrs at Rio Janeiro and
compelled them to transfer their oper-
atoms further south, if not to abandon
them entirely. The latter hypothesis
is considered here to be the most prob
able.
Only a few people here treated the
story seriously; others regarded it as
fantastic. while many dismissed the
whole affair as a myth.
Vague and Indefinite.
Washington, Jan. u. - That the
American government was cognizant
of the existence OF the belief OF ute,
rior designs against Admiral Evans
battleships in the harbor OF Rio janet
70 was admitted yesterday in admin
~istration circles. The news first
reached here by way of Paris.
where somebody communicated it to
the American embassy.
The limitations contained were
vague and indefinite as to details. yet
in view of the great Importance of the
matter and the possibilities which
might develop were the officials on the
not informed, no time was lost
in transmitting it to Rio Janeiro.
Police Find Clues.

further complications yesterday, &C.

forts being made to unearth the per-
sons responsible for the alleged plot

Sincerity of Evidence as She Tells OF

New York. Jan. ia series of sur

Biwabik, Mimi. Jan. %. - Shortly
after ) O'Clock yesterday morning a
bomb was thrown at the house occn-
pied by the family Of Thomas Nicho
las, captain of the Mohawk mine. near
Aurora, tore out one side of the build
ing and threw Nicholas and his wife
and their four children from their
beds. The Youngest child, an infant
that was sleeping with the parents,
was seriously injured.
Although scores of men poured out
Of the mine to investigate the outrage,
no definite clue to the identity of the
perpetrators was discovered. One man
said he was certain that when he was
coming upon the scene he saw two
~shadowy forms disappearing in the
darkness.

out the range towns like wildfire and

that Will precedc a strike that is being
planned to begin early in the spring.
Ihat severe SuppreSSive measures will
be taken is certain. Since the out.
rage every effort is being made to run
down tie criminals.
One explanation of the outrage, say
Nicholas friends is that some Of the
foreigners who have beer employed at
the mine. quite a number of whom
We're recently laid off, conceived the
idea that Nicholas was to blame for
their losing their jobs and decided tc
put him out of the way.
SociaIistic Influence Seen.

perpetrators of the outrage had begun.
Word was sent to all the neighboring
police departments to be on the look
out, and through Duluth other depart
ments viii be asked to assist in hunt

rave been working at the Mohawk for
some time and We're among those laid
