The Outrage at Delhi.

The outbreak of murderous hostility
against the British viceroy at Delhi
yesterday is not necessarily to be taken
gerous state of agitation against English
rule. Rather is ii likely to have been
solitary act of attempted vengeance
for the removal Of the capital from CAL
cutta to the ancient seat of government
in accordance with King Georges dec
laration at the royal durbar some months
ago. The people of Hindustan are not
given to this form of political demon
stration as rule. Several years ago
there was an outbreak of violence, fol-
lowed by several arrests and trials for
sedition which had the effect Of quieting
a dangerous tendency toward destructive
ness. In all likelihood a reaction will
follow in India more than offsetting the
evil influence of this solitary outrage,
which so fortunately failed of its OBJ
ject. Whatever may be said of the Brit
ish rule in India as affects special in
terests and the welfare of particular
classes. 1t Is not to be denied that on the
whole 1t has resulted in tranquility and
stability of government and that India
is immeasurably more prosperous and
happier and more progressive than under
the old system of conflicting regimes and
autonomous principalities almost inces-

Baron Hardinge yesterday would have
been a serious setback for India, for 1t

Chairman Eustis' Good Start.

In his selection of aids in the inau-

The Coming of Castro.

Cipriano Castro can not expect to be
welcomed to the United States on his ar
rival here. He is distinctly persona non
grata. He is known as a marplot, a
schemer for the unsettl:ng of Venezuelan
affairs, almost certain If he succeeds in
effect'ng lodgment on these shores to es-
tablish headquarters for an agitation that
may involve this country in a serious
trouble. In any event, he is under sus-
picion He has no other purpose in exist
ence save to re-establ.sh himself if pos
sible in Venezuelan affairs, which he has
heretofore brought to a chaotic point
through his inordinate ambition and
his INSCRIPTIONS abuse of power. Had he
been content to spend his exile in
peace. seeking only the solace of
reflection upon the achievements of
the past, he would have been un-
disturbed #, in the course of time, he
had come here perhaps to learn somewhat
of the lessons which American civilization
has to teach. Now. however, he is a
known source of danger to international
peace. To admit him would be to invite
disturbance, and in view of his sinister re-
pute, and especially his outrageous treat
ment OF Americans and American inter-
ests in his own country in the days of his
power. 1t is the height of effrontery for
him now to seek admittance.

The Christmas Stockings.

Tonight the Christmas stockings are
hung on the foot of the bed or over the
back OF chair and the children go to
sleep in happy anticipation of the NOR
row. Probably every one of them has
confident expectation that Santa Claus
will bring something. a toy or a boo or
sweets. a token of some loving remem-
brance. Some stockings will be empty
in the morning because there are no toys
10 give. no pennies to buy even the most
trifling souvenir of the season. And then
again there will be an overabundance
more playthings than any child can possi-
bly, enjoy. more books than can be read
more goodies than can be eaten. This is
one OF the most pathetic thoughts of the
Christmas time, the lack OF balance be-
tween the two extremes in society II by
some magic process. some real Santa
Claus intervention. the gifts that will be
bestowed tonight could be equalized there
would be much more happiness in the
world tomorrow morning.
Do children expect too much at Christ
mas time? Has Christmas giving become
SO automatic and perfunctory that it is
no longer appreciated at its full value?

The Universal Sentiment.
)m the New York World,

4 rom the New 1OTk Norlu
The secretary of one of the larger char
liable organizations of the city. in COM
menting upon the Christmas work of his
association, sad: We have 1000 fam
lilies which we care for and We have
found that they like toy for the child
a sprig of Christmas green or some little
gift better than basket of food, which
we would provide at any time if the peo-
pie needed it, Was there ever better
illustration or clearer proof that man
cannot live by bread alone, that the touch
that makes kin of all mankind is one of
sentiment? A longing for a share in the
spiritual joy and holiness of the season
is in every sympathetic heart 1t may
even be that those that have most food
feel it less than those that need food.
1t Is not the rich SAVIOR of the turkey on
the platter nor the glow of the wine nor
the sweet of the pudding that makes
the Christmas dear 1t is the giving OF
the toy to the child. the decoration of
the home with the spray of holly or mis-
tletoe, the little present that comes from
some one to show we are still remem-
bered.

The Real Fellow.

There's a Santa Claus in pictures with
reindeer and a sleigh
And a smile so bright and happy that it
drives all care away;
A man with a conveyance and a span of
reindeer Light
And store of treasure big enough for
every childs delight.
There's a man who boards a car with
bundles six feet long by two
And has his hat pushed off by people who
are passing through,
But he smiles. while in determined mood
again he sets his jaws.
The fellow with the bundle is the real
Santa Claus.
There's a man who climbs ladder when
the daily toll is done
And hangs up toys and trimmings to help
out the day of fun
all awry
And he tears his brand-new trousers on
a nail while passing by.
He nails and saws and hammers and he
doesn't mind the work;
The hours are swiftly flying and he
doesn't dare to shirk.
He huns a little ditty while he hammers
nails and saws
The fellow with the workshop is the
real Santa Claus.

Sometimes this thought obtrudes at this
season of the year Many children are not
at all hesitant about making known their
wants in advance They veritably sched-
ule their desires. and some parents are
indulgent enough to try to fill all these
acquisitions 1t is question which is the
sadder spectacle, the child who Is thus
pampered with every thing conceivable in
the way of a plaything, or the child who
is denied even the simplest toy as Christ
mas gift Certainly the poor child. the
owner of the pitifully empty stocking on
Christmas morning, has something that
the other lacks, a power of appreciation.
1t is a great misfortune to become sati-
ated early in life. and this is what hap
pens with indiscriminate. thoughtless, in
dulgent Christmas giving that leaves the
child little or nothing to desire.
In the days that are passed when most
Christmas gifts were made at home
there was perhaps more true appreciation
of the things that were found in the
stockings Christmas morning. They were
not expensive, but they all meant love,
and remembrance and good wishes. They
were true tokens of the Christmas spirit
much more precious than the expensive
things that are now bought in the shops.
things that are not in the least degree
personal. No matter how much a thing
costs it is not as true a gift for Christ
mas as something into which affectionate
labor has gone. Perhaps the Society for
the Prevention of Useless Giving will be
supplemented in later years by an auxil-
iary organization to encourage the home
manufacture of Christmas gifts. Then in
deed will the stockings on Christmas
morning contain real blessings.

The New Haven-Grand Trunk Case

\ square test of the criminal con-
spiracy phase of the Sherman anti
trust law will probably result from the
indictment of Charles S. Mellen. presi
dent of the New York. New Haven and
Hartford railroad, and Edison ]. Cham
berlin and Alfred w. Smithers, re-
spectively president and chairman of
the Grand Trunk railway. This is the
first case of precisely this nature that
has arisen. The alleged offense, that
of combination to effect traffic agree
ment to prevent competition, is Of re-
cent occurrence, and no statute of
limitations Will run. No obstacles
now appear to prevent direct test of
the effectiveness of the statute, such
as claims to immunity through actions
of the bureau of corporations or the
interstate commerce commission. On
the face of the indictment there is evil
dence that an agreement was entered
into between these two railroad sys-
TENS with the effect of absolutely con-
trolling rates throughout the territory
Jointly covered by these systems. There
was no acquisition of stock control by
one of the two as in the case of the
Great Northern merger which the
Supreme Court dissolved or the South
ern Pacific combination which has re-
Gently been declared illegal. The New
Haven-Grand Trunk method has been
simply. it would appear. to agree to
pool' rates, something that has long
been definitely understood to be con-
trary to both the spirit and the letter
of the Sherman act. The novelty of
the present procedure lies in the
fact that instead of seeking to dis
solve the agreement and prevent the
attempted combination in restraint of
trade the government is applying the
criminal liability laws and aiming at
the punishment of the individuals who
are alleged to be directly responsible
for this undertaking. The. case will,
of course. be vigorously defended, and
the final ruling by the highest court
is not to be expected within two
years at least.

A Saner Christmas.
From the New York Tribune

FROM Inc New 1oih liiuuIe.
New York seems to be on the way t.
a complete solution of the problem of
christmas shopping" Only a few years
ago the ten days preceding Christmas
were a sort of Coney Island carnival, the
streets crowded with belated buyers of
Christmas gifts and the shops packed
every weekday evening. A crushing bur-
den of extra work was PUT upon the en-
ployes of the department stores and the
season of good will to all was converted
into a mad rush, in which consideration
for others was ignored and discomfort
for everybody was multiplied. This year
has seen a continuance of the good ex-
ample of moderation set In l9ll. 1ew
large stores have kept open a little long
er Saturday evenings. but in general the
indictments of the past to overwork and
overbuying have been agreeably lacking.
The old fever has gone and the city mas
settled down to the enjoyment of the sea-
son of charity and good cheer in more
rational and kindly way.

Mr.. Bryan and the Treasury.

Mr. Bryan is sensitive on the subject
of the Treasury Department He
smiles when his name is mentioned
for the State Department or for the
Department of Justice, but snaps his
Jaws and looks offended when the
Treasury Department is suggested.
Why? Is it because the suggestion
originated with Mr.. Hearst? Does he
fear the New York editor bearing
cabinet portfolio? Has he an idea that
the suggestion coming from that quar-
ter is loaded? Has he the sense OF
being chaffed? The relations between
the two men are not happy. They
have agreed and disagreed. But not
since 1904. when Mr.. Bryan refused to
support Mr.. Hearst for the democratic
nomination for President, have they
liked each other Mr.. Hearst who had
supported Mr.. Bryan in 1896 and 1900.
considered that the time had come for
Mr.. Bryan to reciprocate, and when he
refused Mr.. Hearst listed the act as
one of ingratitude.
Or does Mr.. Bryan secretly feel that
his talents are not associable with
that office? Does he realize at last
that he is not "a financier? Has he
accepted the popular Judgment on that
point-expressed with great emphasis
in 1896, and strongly in both 1900 and
190s-and come now to look shyly, if
not apologetically, on his fulminations
in favor of free silver coinage at 16 to
L. as the panacea for low prices for
wheat and high prices for all wearing
apparel and the breakfast table?
If this latter is the explanation, we
have something curious to consider.
vanced very strikingly at psyche
logical moment-Mr. Bryan might not
have attained his present position
might now be an inconspicuous lee
turer. or a workaday newspaper writ
err 1t was free silver coinage that
gave him his eminence, and 1t is the
same thing that now handicaps him
and exposes him to the prOddings of
his enemies. The ladder that enabled
him to climb is now a source of an
noyance to him.
Mr.. Bryan can see as readily as an
other that his appointment to the
Treasury Department would so startle
the country panic might follow. Mr..
Wilson would discredit himself at the
outset. and make success for his ad-
ministration impossible. OF course Mr..
Bryan would not as Secretary be able
