A White Christmas

Those who dread d green Christmas"
have the desired snowy mantle on
the ground on this occasion. But there
are others who feel that the whiteness
that nature bestows upon this locality is
not altogether welcome. Washington lies
in the middle ground of mixed climate.
delightful during the greater part of the
year but subject to an occasional vista
ton characteristic of the extremes to
the north and the south. Once in while
in summer the capital is friZzled with the
heat of the torrid zone, and occasionally
it is frozen with blasts from the polar
regions Its SHOWS are not sources of
pleasure They rarely remain long enough
to permit Indulgence in true winter
sports, and their main function is to fill
the streets with slush that causes illness
This white Christmas" imposes upon
all Washingtonians the obligation to be
particularly careful In the matter of
physical exposure. Wet feet and damp
ened clothing make work for the ply
sicians. 4 little inattention to these
items may cause this Christmas to be
painfully memorable. Yet with proper
precautions there is no danger in out
door expeditions. The snow is a menace
to those who are not considerable OF their

Christmas.

All around the world today ring the
Christmas chimes. the bells that bring
tidings of peace. and good will. People
of all classes and ages are celebrating
the anniversary OF the birth of Him who
came to save mankind, to point the way
to truth and righteousness. The COM
ing of Christ is commemorated in every
section of the civilized world with no
less devout feryor than formerly and
with perhaps a deepening sense of reall-
cation of the significance of the Occa-
sion.
Christmas means hope and thankful
ness for blessings. 1t means charity for
the errors of others and the extension
of the hand of help. The gifts that pass
from one to another are but tokens OF
the sea sons spirit of gladness and graft
tude 1t is the universal desire in all
places where Christmas is celebrated that
all homes shall know happiness. that the
troubles of life may be lightened. that
the outlook may be frightened
1t is not for today only that Christmas
possesses a significance. Christ was born
to aid i'm the uplift of mankind for all
time. The day of his birth is. there
fore more than single occasion of oo-
servance 1t is the annual symbol of the
spirit in which He wrought for humanity.
Every day of the year may be Christmas
in the broader. more lasting sense II
all will constantly bear in mind the I'M
DERIVING principle of this time, that OF
gentle justice toward all.
Christ lived to set before the world for
all time an example of pure manhood,
of upright life, of spiritual aspiration, of
practical charity and beneficence. 1t was
not for His generation or age alone that
He came and suffered. He embodied an
undying truth. that each man carries
within his breast the possibilities of per-
lection. His lesson was not learned by
those who knew Him in the flesh. 1t is
being taught today. nearly two thousand
years after His birth, to a greater num-
Der than those before whom He appear
ed, and every year adds to this multitude
of learners.
Every day brings its opportunities for
real Christmas commemoration, in the
little relations and the trifiing actions Of
life. One does. not need to wait until late
December to display an appreciation of the
blessings of the truth that was shown
the world at the Savior's birth. Nor is
there need to go forth with gifts to give
expression to this thought. A word, a
hand-clasp. thought of kindness. Of
consideration. of gratitude, will express
some phase of the doctrine of Christ,
which is love.

Judge Gaynor wants to see. He has
been on the bench a long time. and
knows personally but few of the acti.e
politicians of New York. OF the Tam
manyites he has always spoken with
contempt. But having accepted Tam
many's nomination and Tammany's sup
port. he must now as the beneficiary of
Tammany's favor. recognize the or
ganization in the distribution of his
favors. Still, he wants the best men
Tammany can muster, and wants tnem
to pass in review before him.
This is an excellent idea, and it might
be adopted with good results elsewhere.
Why not here in Washington? Why
should not the President meet the men
applying for the more important places
at his disposal, rather than be obliged,
ment of others?
The country has often been enter
tanned with the yarn of the White House
in a state of siege. with Office seekers
shutting out everybody else, and shut
ting the distinguished occupant in.
Politicians sleeping on cots in the hall
ways of hotels and cheap boarding
houses, and those of a poorer class &C
cupying benches in the parks, presented
a picture at once pathetic and disgust
ing.
Nothing but yarn. Not for a quarter
century has any such spectacle been
seen here. When Mr.. Cleveland took
Office the first time the town filled up,
and with sound reason. The democracy
had been out in the cold for quarter
century, and it's active members felt
that good deal was coming to them
But since then there has been at no time
anything approaching a mad, wild rush
for recognition.
Let the aspirants for places come on
They must want to see the President, and
he would profit by seeing them. Wash
ington is a big and beautiful town, hos
ptably disposed, and capable of housing
comfortably at any time of the year all
who seek it's shelter for the good of
themselves and the cause.

Mr.. Bryan's Physical Resources.

Mr.. Bryan's indsposition in Florida d.
reefs attention afresh to the life he has
been leading for thirteen years, and the
severe physical strain he has put upon
himself during the whole of that time
He has been almost continually on the
go. Now in this section and now In that:
travelling i'm all weathers and by all modes
of conveyance; sleeping i'm strange beds;
sampling all sorts of foods: speaking in
large and drafty halls: pulled here and
there by admiring friends and solicitous
committeeman. the wonder is that he sur
wives. What other public man has ever
gone through the half of it? Some men
have had strenuous experiences on Chau-
tauqua circuits, but only for 4 few
months and in the pleasant season OF
the year. Mr.. Bryan is no mere summer
entertainer. He is abroad all the year
round. and as active. and as vocal, at
one time as another
Actors, it is true, lead some such life.
They make rapid changes of stations,
and take many chances in the way Of
climate But no actor has so taxing a
job as Mr.. Bryan. Even in blood-and-
thunder nlelodrama, the hero, while draw
ing heavily upon his strength and lung
power, has rests all through an evening 8
performance. He is not view and at
it, from start to finish.
Mr. Bryan is. In the popular phrase Of
the day. he is I'm his ca -e the whole show
From the moment he is introduced to an
audience until he bows good night-often
full two hours-he Is in action. He gets
rest. He stands out in full view, and
speaks out I'm full tones.
But the entertainment he gives is but
small part o. the draft on his strength
during day and night. He has little IL
any privacy. When he reads he must
gaIlop through books and magazines and
newspapers. He must think On the jump
He is constantly in somebody's charge

soldiers do the way of the Car of Rus

edge and profound wisdom. and ply him
with praise and questions without limit.

Feeding the Poor.

From the New York World.
Thousands. tens of thousands, hundreds
of thousands of Christmas dinners for

rying Christmas cheer to those who can
bring no Christmas cheer to themselves.

for no parallel in all human history can
be found to the magnificent charity of
the American people. A most inspiring
picture it is and one of which NEST
Americans are justly proud; but what
about the other side of it? What about
the civilization that produces SUBJ
merged tenth? What about the economic
conditions which maintain the necessity
for this princely charity? 1t is easy
enough to say that we shall always have
the poor with us. 1t is easy enough to
say that poverty is inevitable and that
the weak and inefficient must always
lag behind in the race of life. Thes.,

and the scientist. but they never reach

The Christmas Spirit.

1t is significant that our great holida vs.
oftener commemorate A birthday than a
battlefield, a personality rather than an
event. We observe the birthdays of
Washington and of Lincoln, or other
great ones: the Fourth of July celebrates
a new birth of freedom. But the greatest
birthday of the year is that which re-
ours upon the 18th of December. 1t is
so important nativity that the man
who said christmas comes but once a
year" Thomas Tusser. immortalized
himself by that one remark. The poor
old rhymermusician of the sixteenth
century doubtless sought to emphasize
the unusual scarcity of lucrative holidays
that brought largess for the Eliza bethan
gleemen. He died in a debtors prison
But he also meant TO imply that Christ

through all the days of the year to fol-
low, until the following Yuetide brings a
fresh suppliance of the sweet and peren-
NAL perfume.

Keeping Track of the Opposition.

The story that the President reads only
those newspapers which are friendly to
him lacks rersuasiveness. Two considera-
tons counsel the other course. In order
to keep abreast of the situation from day
to day he must know the real sentiments
of the opposition, and the opposition
newspapers are the best sources of in
formation. Leaving them out would dark
en- somewhat the aspect of things.
The White House is sometimes called
"a fools paradise" This is because
the occupant necessarily is approached
with ceremony and hears good deal of
praise. Every caller appears in pleasant
mood, and has a pleasant thing or two
to say. Party friends seeking favors
are, of course, all smiles. and report
favorably on the situation at home Our
people are with you, Mr.. President. They
like the way you are conducting things,
and want you to succeed yourself" Who
could resist such assurances. coming so
often. and from SO many different
sources?
Men of the opposition are, in their
way. quite as kind. They proffer no
support. but often declare that they will
be obliged to hump themselves at the
next election. They cannot shut their
eyes to the fact that the President is
popular. and seems to be growing more
so. I'VE should like to have a man of
our own here, but if we must have one
of your party, sir. why you suit better
than anybody else we can think Of"
And that sort of talk is agreeable to
hear. and an occupant of the White
House hears a good deal of it,
Newspapers are franker. The best con-
Quoted Of them speak out. They have
numerous and excellent sources of in
formation, and 1t is their business to
chronicle and comment on the news. They
are not seeking presidential favors. They
do not dispense patronage. They can
praise or blame as they feel. and, as a
rule, they do. If the President closed his
eyes to the leaders of the opposition press
he would shut out the most valuable
light. On many important things he
would be in darkness indeed.
A visitor to the office of a prominent
senator in whose state politics was fierce
and all one way, found the table covered
with newspapers, and the senator reading
a copy of the principal journal of the OPP
position party. What would the people
in the back counties in your bailiwick
say If they knew you read that sheet?'
The senator laughed heartily, and replied,

Seeking and Dispensing Patronage

A decision reached by Mayor elect
Gaynor respecting patronage has not
been sufficiently praised. This was that
he wanted TO meet applicants for places
in person, so that he might take their
measure himself and feel better AS
sured of what he was doing.
According to the old plan, Leader
Murphy of Tammany Hall would have
sent his compliments to Judge Gaynoi
and requested an appointment for the
purpose Of talking business So pre-
senting himself, Mr.. Murphy would have
handed to Judge Gaynor a list of names
for his guidance in filling the places at
his disposal. and stated frankly tina,
Tammany would be best served by his
keeping as closely as possible to the
list.
